Just One of the Thousands. War in Ukraine. Irpin.

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Multiple Drone Video of the Week Winner smakozawr brings us this haunting video from war-town Ukraine, which was invaded by its Russian neighbor in early 2022. The devastation shown in the video is in the city of Irpin, which is essentially a northwestern suburb of Kiev. Irpin was directly in the path of Russian forces during the (unsuccessful) attempt to capture Kiev near the outset of the war. Suffering thousands of military and civilian casualties, it was one of the ten cities designated as a Hero City of Ukraine in March of 2022.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

It is terrible for me to imagine that people met in this house, when they were shot near them, walls flew apart, flames devoured everything in their path of destroying their home. Sitting in a cold, damp basement and praying only to God in order to live until morning. Share one can of stew for everyone. Give news to children. What is it like to control yourself and not to panic. Drink water from sewerage, puddles and batteries. See the enemy near you and not make the slightest sound, hiding in the closet. Each apartment has its own story. Someone did not have time to prepare breakfast for their children and left everything on the table. Mom did not have time to hang things to dry and left everything in the washing machine. Someone's child didn't finish their homework. The cat did not wait for the hugs of its owners. Time has stood still here. The wind has settled in the house, the rattle of metal and the longing of the owners for their home is in the air, who turned the key for the last time, closing their apartment, saving their souls.
