Interesting images, but the difference between the two is mostly that the fields (the brown rectangles) along the front line were lite brown when the photo was taken, and green and darker brown when the second was taken. Probably because it became too dangerous to tend those fields. This isn’t a picture of a city whose center has been leveled. There is a town in the upper right, but the resolution is too poor to judge its condition. I looked for a location on the original twitter/x post, but found nothing.
As Ukraine has some of the most fertile (*chernozem*) soils in the world and is a net exporter of grains and oilseeds (*specifically to less developed countries in Africa*), the reduction in tilled agricultural areas will effect export quotas and might result in global food shortages.
russia is like a STD
Interesting to see how many of those fields are still getting plowed.
“it became necessary to destroy the village, in order to save it”
You can see the much thinner 2014 line running north-south on the right side of the initial photo.
