Why the sands are important
- We have heard about the Sands throughout the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014. After all, this village is a suburb of Donetsk, and it is right next to it that the notorious Donetsk airfield is located.
- only 5 people left.
- In early August 2022, in the midst of a full-scale Russian invasion, propagandists like Seminyany or Kadyrov began to claim the “capture” of Peskov.
