Occupiers want to preserve individual neighborhoods in destroyed cities of Donetsk Region and show them to tourists

The occupation administration of the Donetsk Region plans to preserve parts of the settlements of the region that were destroyed by Russian shelling and bombing. The invaders are going to make museums of the full-scale war against Ukraine out of them.

The head of the occupation administration of the Donetsk Region, collaborator Denis Pushilin, said this last Friday, May 16. His words are quoted by russian media.

Speaking at the economic forum "russia - Islamic World" in Kazan, Pushilin said that the occupation administration wants to preserve entire neighborhoods in the destroyed cities.

The collaborator mentioned Avdiyivka, Vuhledar and Bakhmut. These cities were almost completely destroyed as a result of shelling and street fighting.

"You can simply preserve an entire block to make it clear what people faced at different stages," Pushilin said.

The collaborator added that the destroyed parts of the occupied cities could be shown to tourists.

As an example, he cited Volgograd, russia, where there are buildings that have been converted into museums commemorating the war of the USSR against Nazi Germany.

"We have plans to develop such sites as Pavlov's House in Volgograd," Pushilin said.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the army of the aggressor country of russia has destroyed dozens of large cities in Ukraine. Hundreds of towns and villages have also been wiped off the face of the earth.

The largest number of such settlements is in the Donetsk Region. Maryinka, Bakhmut, Soledar, Vuhledar, Avdiyivka, Toretsk, and Chasiv Yar have been turned into ruins.

Right now, the occupiers are razing to the ground Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, Kostiantynivka and dozens of smaller settlements in the region, shelling them with artillery and dropping aerial bombs.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the day before, servicemen of the "Predator" brigade of the Patrol Police of Ukraine showed what Toretsk, destroyed by the russians, looks like now.

And in early April of this year, Ukrainian photographer Kostiantyn Liberov published a photo from the front-line Pokrovsk.
