From: Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv (833rd day)
On June 3rd, the New York Times published the article What Ukraine Has Lost, which was written by Marco Hernandez, Jeffrey Gettleman, Finbarr O’Reilly, and Tim Wallace. Using satellite images, they analyzed every building across Ukraine that has been damaged or destroyed since Russia attacked two years ago.
These are some quotes from the article:
“A vast area with some 210,000 buildings leveled across a jagged, 800-mile frontline and beyond.”
“Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.”
“Few countries since World War II have experienced this level of devastation. But it’s been impossible for anybody to see more than glimpses of it. It’s too vast. Every battle, every bombing, every missile strike, every house burned down, has left its mark across multiple front lines, back and forth over more than two years.”
“The scale is hard to comprehend. More buildings have been destroyed in Ukraine than if every building in Manhattan were to be leveled four times over. Parts of Ukraine hundreds of miles apart look like Dresden or London after World War II.”
