Once a symbol of US power and freedom, Radio Liberty is now forced to reduce toilets on the floors of its head office in Prague to conserve water and electricity.

This is what the house looks like now, where I once rented an apartment to rest after returning from combat.
The apartment was rented out at insane prices, and the owners didn't hide the fact that this was payment for the fact that it would one day no longer exist, as if AFU were to blame
