For more than a year, Donetsk has been under intense Russian attacks, which have completely destroyed it as a city.
The bombings have destroyed the buildings and the only thing left are the soldiers, who are engaged in fierce fighting between the Russian troops.
Once home to 10,000 people, the area is now deserted after being evacuated last year at the start of the war.
This video, posted by a Ukrainian government adviser, Anton Gerashchenko, shows the extent of the destruction in the surrounding areas.
Mariinka, Donetsk region.
Population before “Russian world” came: 10,000.
