quote:

When I went to Severodonetsk in July just after it had been taken by Russia, my first thought was that no one would live here again. Much of it resembled an apocalyptic wasteland. I travelled there again this week, and it’s slowly coming back to life… 🧵


80% of the buildings have been damaged. But locals told me that water, gas and electricity is now running. Even central heating in some places. Around 25 000 live there now. Up from 8000 who remained during the fighting. Pre war, 100 000 plus.
Video




The Russian appointed Mayor told me that the main problem was the clearing of mines which had killed many civilians. He also told me that the Mayor’s office had been booby trapped with an anti tank mine
Video

Many buildings are marked with “No mines.” Or “caution mines.” Even if the war ends tomorrow, mines will be a story for years to come.


“Everybody wants peace. I want my children to return home. To embrace my granddaughter. What do ordinary people want? Peace. Nothing else.”

Everyone I spoke to said they just want peace, to rebuild their lives.



Those I spoke to were pro Russian or neutral. But I was told there are pro Ukrainians who stayed as it’s their home.
Back in June. The people who remained were scavenging the land for food and firewood. And waiting for humanitarian aid drop offs. Now the shops and markets are returning. Life is finding a way…



Journalist revisited Severodonetsk. TL;DR is that while it's no Mariupol with tons of new buildings, utilities is back up and there's some commercial activity back. Going to need a lot of demining though.

this thread has commented before on how being anti-Hitler too soon is bad for you. Putin and Assad were allies until they weren't, and then they were the next Hitlers, and maybe someday the Saudis will be the next Hitlers for Yemen, just like how Saddam was Hitler for gassing the Kurds when we were supporting him in the 80s, and even tried to blame the Iranians for that warcrime, until suddenly in 2003 it was proof of what a monster he was

Its ridiculous that Putin is using "We have to defend ethnic Russians in foreign countries from oppression" as a justification for invasion, anyway, any Russians living west of the Urals should be driven off their land.

the reason they didn't suppress the AA is because this was supposed to be as bloodless as possible lol

Russian can get broken up into ethnic cantons if Ukraine also gets broken up. That would take out Galicia, the Golden Horde, a secondary Hungary and Romania, Zaporizhzhia, the Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus, and then Donbass would go to Russia. Sorry, rules are rules.
