Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
An area of eastern Ukraine close to the front line in the Russian war is in its second year without electric power.
Rely
Most of the population has left the small town of Siversk because of the war. Those who remain rely on the local humanitarian center and a few neighbors to collect and deliver loaves of bread to all.
Rely is very close in meaning to another word: depend. If you rely on someone, you trust them based on experience.
