‘Not a single house left’: Ukraine shares video of how Russia decimated Robotyne
Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces published a video showing completely destroyed by the Russians village of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhya Oblast – there is not a single house left intact in the settlement as it has been witnessing fierce combat clashes for the past several months, Ukrainian military reported on April 15.
Not a single house is left standing after Russia decimated the village of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhya Oblast over several months of fighting, as can be seen in a video shared by Ukraine's Southern Defense Forces.
Robotyne residents had fled the village, escaping Russian shelling and the invaders themselves.
"This is what Robotyne looks like now," the Southern Defense Forces said.
"It cannot even be called a settlement, because there is no population."
Russia "liberates" Ukrainian cities and villages by completely destroying them. They then boast about "successful advances at the front" among the ruins, the Southern Defense Forces said.
