My City Destroyed : War brings death, pain, destru - The Chronicles

This is Velyka Pysarivka in northern Ukraine. Used to be a home for almost 4k people. Then russians decided to erase it with carpet bombings in the last several days — just because they can.

Russia has brought hundreds of cities, towns, and villages in Ukraine to the ground that they’ve reached on the frontline. Look at Vovchansk. Guess what happened to the civilians in there? They had to flee, and their homes and lives are destroyed.

Shocking footage from Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, captured by drone and from inside the city. Just 20 km from Kramatorsk, the area is now burned out: high-rise buildings destroyed, a kindergarten ruined, and a church damaged. The video shows a residential block that was still intact just a few months ago. Civilians who remain are cooking food outside their apartment buildings, trying to survive amid the destruction.

📍Olexiivka, Sumy region — footage shared by the 225th Separate Assault Regiment. In late September, local officials said only about 3% of homes survived: 4 streets, 600 residents, nearly 300 houses — just 10 remain. There was once a school, kindergarten, clinic, and culture house. Ukrainian troops are now present in the village, while according to DeepState, Olexiivka has remained in the “red zone” since June 2025.

The morning finds Kharkiv in pieces again – homes demolished by russian bombardment, four lives taken in an instant. The dawn brings no answers, only the weight of all that’s been lost.
