"When the war begins, politicians give ammunition, the rich give food, and the poor give their children. When the war ends, politicians shake hands, the rich raise food prices, and the poor look for the graves of their children.
- Serbian proverb.

As long as WSJ made video about chasniv yar, it will fall soon, just like bakhmut.
