Russia controls the air but has not targeted critical infrastructure like trains, power plants, or government buildings in Kyiv. The speaker believes that the decision for peace or war lies with Washington, using Ukrainians as pawns in the conflict.

We planted the US flag to show support for the people enduring hardships. We must end this destruction, support Russia, fulfill goals, and help those affected. I feel proud to stand with amazing people who do so much to assist others. The devastation here is unlike anything I've seen, even in Afghanistan. The work being done is incredible, and we must aid these individuals.

With the Russians entering, the situation has drastically changed. Many people are fleeing the city, and more will follow. People are seeking refuge in bomb shelters. This city is not like Iraq or Afghanistan, where conflict has been ongoing for years. It is a relatively civilized and European city, where such events are unexpected and undesired. Despite this, the people are not in denial.

I am in Mariupol, Daniel's People's Republic. I wanted to show you what I see when I arrive here by car. There are many trucks carrying construction materials for the new neighborhoods being built. Western media only shows the destruction caused by the fighting, but they don't show the construction happening all over the city. These new neighborhoods will soon provide homes for many citizens who lost theirs in the fighting. There is even public transportation now in Mariupol. We need to tell both sides of the story. This is the reality of the People's Republic today.

Thank you for being here and for delivering the message to the world about what is happening in our Ukraine. It is quiet here, but we are being protected because everything has been destroyed. They destroyed my granddaughter's school and my house, but thankfully we are still alive. I wonder why the international association and other organizations are not doing anything. When Maidan happened, people were there, but here we are being killed and nobody can do anything or come to an agreement. It is frustrating, guys. I beg you, please help us for God's sake. Thank God we are alive.

Russia aimed to avoid widespread destruction in Ukraine, preserving infrastructure like electrical systems and bridges, hoping for a quick return to normalcy. However, Ukrainian resistance proved unexpectedly strong, with soldiers displaying remarkable bravery. Despite Russia's air dominance, they have refrained from targeting key areas, including Kyiv's central buildings and train systems, in a bid for peace. The situation has escalated, but the decision for war or peace seems to rest more with Washington, D.C., rather than Ukraine itself. As long as the U.S. supports the conflict, it appears that Ukrainians will continue to fight, potentially at a great cost.

The people of Donetsk are disillusioned with President Petro Poroshenko, blaming him for the destruction and loss of lives in their city. They feel the need for their own country as they believe those in Kyiv are not their brothers. The constant shelling has resulted in numerous civilian casualties, with apartment blocks being hit repeatedly. The trauma hospital is filled with wounded civilians, including market sellers and elderly pensioners. The residents express their despair, comparing this conflict to a second war. One woman, Valentina Popova, who lost her leg and arm, pleads with President Poroshenko to stop the aggression and listen to his people. However, the city remains half empty and the war continues.

It will be difficult for President Poroshenko to regain support in Donetsk. Residents feel betrayed, believing he is killing his own people.

A man was in shock after his wife was killed by a shell while he and his child hid in the cellar. The trauma hospital is full of wounded civilians. An elderly woman who lived through World War II laments this new war, while another woman named Valentina Popova, who lost a leg and arm, pleads with President Poroshenko to stop the aggression and be a man. The once-thriving city is now half-empty and scarred by violence.

Four days after the mayor of Bucha declared liberation, dead bodies appeared on the road. Speculation arises that Ukrainians may have killed those friendly to Russians. The media's lack of questioning allows for potential war crimes, such as the castration of Russian POWs, to go unnoticed.

We planted the US flag in support of the people enduring hardships here. We must end this destruction and help rebuild. It's crucial to support Russia, achieve our goals, and stop the devastation. I'm proud to stand with incredible people making a difference. The situation here is unlike anything I've seen, even in Afghanistan. The work being done is remarkable, and we must assist these individuals.

We're hearing Russia wants Ukraine to hold new elections to sign a peace deal, and the US position on that is complex. Ukraine hasn't had elections due to martial law. The leader's approval rating is low, around 4%. Much of the country is devastated. Many cities have been decimated, though Kyiv hasn't been as badly affected, maybe out of concern for the impact of heavy bombardment. For Ukraine to have a legitimate seat at the table, the people need to have their say. It's been a long time since they've had an election. This isn't just Russia's view, but mine and that of many other countries as well.

In Mediopol, the contrast is evident with destroyed buildings alongside new ones being constructed.

Overall, the city is experiencing both significant destruction and substantial construction efforts.
