- Hello. This is Maria Avdeeva from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Today is the 8th of March. And I am, right now, in the district where the tank school and the cadet corps was situated. Russia dropped, here, bombs. And you can see that the whole area is totally destroyed. Houses are without windows. [WHIRRING] You can see what happened to the cadet corps. Apparently, there is no heating, no electricity, nothing in the nearby houses because of this bombardment. And I don't know when people will be able to return here and to rebuild their houses, when Putin will stop this war, or when we will make him stop this. Here, near the cadet corps, you will see that, right here, the marks, the holes where the bombs actually were dropped. So you could imagine how hard the explosion was [ENGINE ACCELERATING] And what happened to the cars standing nearby. So the place is completely ruined at the moment.
