Bakhmut, Ukraine

Two years ago, this was a well-to-do city of 70,000, a Ukrainian regional center.

It was well known for the Hotel Atlantic many people use to stay at. Many also loved a very good sushi bar called Izumi at Bakhmut's central square.

It was a city of coffee shops, soccer stadiums, flower beds, fountains, and a famous local sparkling wine brand.

Now see what Russia has turned it into.

It's now a giant grave that will never see any life again.

President Zelensky's speech this evening: "Today, a video has emerged of the occupiers brutally killing a warrior who bravely said to their faces: 'Glory to Ukraine!'.

The Office of the President has already reacted to the video of the shooting of the defender of Ukraine by the invaders and wrote:
