and we're in his office right now which was actually once upon a time not so long ago this room and the entire building was occupied by the Russians as you can see the windows over here this large

what's happening inside the building but the security forces won't let me in so I don't think that's gonna work right now foreign you can see that something fell right here so this is which also saw a lot of intense fighting during the conflict and everywhere on this whole street entire apartment buildings have been destroyed you can see items that were owned by families who lived here hanging out of the debris look at this so if you look at this building right there is a washing machine and a chest of plastic drawers hanging out it's about to fall there is so much so much ruin [Music] Ed so this is the entrance to a building that was completely destroyed there are so many more like it thank you foreign debris anywhere see there are many pieces hanging right off the building and I wouldn't want to get hurt so this clearly was the dentist's office no more okay again I don't want to go too deep in because there could be unexploded bombs there could be falling debris but you get the picture terrible situation we are now driving across a bridge that was blown up during the conflict so I guess they repaired it but not all the way which is why it has this big dip in the middle
