Russians install 'concrete shelters' made of styrofoam in Donetsk – video

7 October 2024, 01:34 PM

So-called "concrete shelters" made from styrofoam are being set up to protect against shelling in Russian-occupied Donetsk, the local residents wrote on social media on Oct. 6.

Local residents shared the news on social media, even posting a video showing one of these "defensive structures" near a bus stop on Abakumova Street, next to City Hospital No. 25.

At first glance, the "shelters" appear sturdy and reliable, but a simple scratch on the surface reveals the truth — a thin layer of concrete covers plain styrofoam.

"The shelter by the bus stop," Donetsk resident complained.

"Thick, poured concrete, looks solid. But when you step inside and take a closer look, it's just Styrofoam mixed with concrete. So much for protection."

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
