Heartbreaking, yes, destruction, yes, but note the resilience of the residents who have remained, most of whom were unflinching at the sounds of shelling and gunfire (the one gal I saw flinched, I admit). This is probably the most truthful reporting I’ve seen in years. I was also somewhat surprised at how openly the residents still remaining spoke, and that when they spoke about Russian troops had nothing but words of gratitude for the assistance provided. I come away with the impression, also, that the remaining residents are rather clear eyed about what is actually happening. This was definitely not fake news.

For those who do not see the vid through, residents were told by Ukrainian forces to gather at the school and railway station to remain safe and those places were shelled that night. The civilians did not fall for that ruse.

I cursory look at his channel shows it’s whole milk Russian news (Goebbels style).
Yep he’s pro Russian, doesn’t mean his report is wrong. Propaganda to the right, propaganda to the left. Both need to be viewed critically and both need to be viewed else we end up accepting, ’cause we hear nothing but such over and over, the party line that all Ukrainians are saints.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
