The bleak Ukrainian landscape Russia leaves behind: Corpses in the garden, land mines and fear

LA Times  

Corpses in need of reburial, traumatized villagers, rocket remnants strewn across sunflower fields: In eastern Ukraine, this is the bleak landscape left behind when Russian troops fled. As Ukrainian and Russian troops traded artillery fire along the adjacent front line, “the dogs barked nonstop,” recalled Raisa Nikolaevna, a Sviatohirsk resident in her 60s. A 67-year-old retired cleaning lady agreed to an interview but would give only her first name — Halya — because she feared Russians might come back and “use my words against me.” She recounted her escape from Sviatohirsk in early summer: making her way over the bridge spanning the Seversky Donets River as fires raged on all sides, sheltering for a few nights in a 16th century monastery, eventually finding safety to the west. “He should just shoot himself!” A neighboring couple in their mid-70s — Oleksandr Federovich and his wife, Lubov Dmitrievna, who identified themselves only by their first names and patronymics — told of spending 100 nights sleeping on wood planks in their basement after their home was damaged by shelling and Russian soldiers ordered them not to leave. When Ukrainian forces stationed across the river began flying surveillance drones over the town to try to assess enemy troop strength, the Russians would move about in civilian clothing.
