Mirror

Toretsk was a thriving mining town, where almost 50,000 people lived happily (if you count the suburban area, almost 100,000!).

Mines, a beneficiation plant, factories, and a bakery operated in Toretsk.

The city had dozens of schools, libraries, and cultural institutions. The Palace of Culture "Ukraine" at the Central Mine was worth a lot - it even had a winter garden!

Hospitals and clinics were open, and the stands of the city's Avangard stadium could accommodate 10,000 spectators!

…And then near Toretsk it smelled (although no, let’s be honest – it smelled awful!) of “f***ing spirit”…

The 100th Motorized Rifle Brigade, together with its attached units, has been waging the heroic Battle for Toretsk, without any exaggeration, for almost seven months.

The once thriving mining town now looks like a complete ruin, a ghost town...

However, Toretsk will certainly be revived! – If only the stench of the “ru***y spirit” would get as far away from here as possible…
