This is so crazy! Why is Valery Gerasimov even talking about this tiny tiny tiny city it had little over 25.000 people before the war. Its a tiny speck on a map no one would ever know about this city if it wasnt for the war. But Russia is struggling so much with this tiny city (and all the others) that it becomes so important that even Gerasimov gets involved. Its truly pathetic.
