Fair enough.Backman wrote:I have to disagree that there isn't a huge difference between Soledar and Maripol. Soledar was completely destroyed by heavy artillery. Not even the roads survived. Whole city blocks have no paved road in sight.

Most buildings still stand there, and while many are damaged, the damage is mostly the result of rather close quarter fighting, eg UA (Azov) ATGM team in an apartment or on a roof getting a tank round to their faces etc.
I am well aware that western media and various politicians and pundits claim it was "razed to the ground" and whatever, but that is demonstrably false.
In fact, only a year later now and it's lively as ever, and the repair efforts are going well.
edit: Ongoing genocide, razed to the ground etc:

Apparently the AFU is using the M30A1 munition - which releases a cloud of tiny tungsten balls, like a shotgun - in a counterbattery role.
Unclear if they are using fringe antipersonnel systems against hard targets due to shortages of conventional ammo, or just to be silly.

They got more to worry about getting shot dead by their own fellow nazis than by the Russians, if they wanna surrender safely they should bring the severed head of their commander with them.mnztr wrote:
