Yeah I mean it frankly looks like what was rolling around Yugo in the 90's

But I'm talking about the actual landscape.

It is beaten and destroyed.

The thing of nightmares.

I know it is probably trivial compared to the human suffering that has been going on and in no way would I want to diminish that, but as a someone who is at the very least a low-key environmentalist, I can't help but think of the long term environmental impacts that happen during wars and the long term implications (both to human health and the ecosystems). Any time a vehicle blows up, a power stations or fuel depot is hit, or a factory, or a ship sinks, it would be considered a pretty big deal, but of course in a war, there isn't the luxury to do much about it. When this war is over, Ukraine will need a lot of help in that regard.

Absolutely correct.

Also the mines and unexploded ordnance, hell they still find things from WW1.

That landscape is years and years away from being useable.

They are still clearing mines in Yugo which was 30 years ago.....

Reminds me a bit of being in Waterton or Jasper after a big forest fire and seeing a graveyard of trees. This is such another level of destruction up from that, it's unfathomable to comprehend unless you are there. That's not even mentioning the big dam attack a few years ago that destroyed so much terrain. An absolute reckoning needs to come to the russians for the environmental disasters they have caused.

I always wondered what they do with all the junk from blown up tanks and stuff and how you even clean that up. I recall when my wife left her village from the border towards Kharkiv city and the road was littered with tanks, cars, bodies, equipment strewn everywhere for 40kms straight. Like, how do you even begin to plug away at that, haul it all away, while under the threat of being attacked.

I can only imagine the cleanup that went underway in Europe post WW1 and II. I guess we have some references here when hurricanes or wildfires come sweeping through. Still, what a job to clean up that kind of mess on such a massive scale.
