Rusija priprema građane na još teži rat koji će trajati 'jako, jako dugo'
Volodymyr Kovalyov, 77, who remained in his village throughout the conflict and was in his house in October when it was hit by what he thinks was a tank shell, walks with his bicycle to a food delivery point, amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in the village of Posad-Pokrovske, northwest of the city of Kherson, Ukraine January 26, 2023. Russian troops reached Posad-Pokrovske on Feb. 25 last year, the day after Russia launched the full-scale invasion it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine. It was as far as they were able to push north, and the area around the small settlement became a no-go zone between enemy forces. The ground is now littered with ammunition boxes, bullet casings and burned out Russian tanks. Mines lay scattered, two unexploded missiles protrude from the earth nearby, deep, narrow trenches snake through fields and house after house lays in ruins.
