Russian invaders rejoice at "apocalypse" in fully destroyed Marinka.
Russian occupiers have posted photos from the occupied town of Marinka in Donetsk Oblast which has been completely destroyed during the war.
"When you hear the word 'apocalypse,' what comes to mind? The end of the world, the end of life, something terrible and irreversible, but this is what it is now."
Social media users and the Ukrainian authorities reacted furiously to these photos. Andrii Yermak, Head of the President’s Office, stressed that Marinka was alive and prospering before the war.
Marinka is a former district centre. As of 2015, almost 10,000 people lived there.

Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 08 March 2023
There is a realistic possibility that this was partially in response to recent footage of the owner of Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, visiting his fighters on the front line.
Wagner is in a high-profile dispute with the Russian Ministry of Defence and Shoigu is likely sensitive to being compared to Prigozhin. The only deployed Russian field commander shown in the video was Colonel General Rustam Muradov. It is notable that Muradov is responsible for the Vuhledar sector of Donetsk Oblast, where several assaults have failed in the last three months. Until recently, the Russian command likely saw a breakthrough at Vuhledar as a key way to achieve an operationally significant breakthrough in Ukraine’s lines. Russian planners are likely facing the dilemma of attempting another Vuhledar assault or supporting intense fighting further north near Bakhmut and Kremina.
