The war in Ukraine has now gone on for so long that, birds in the Donbas region have adapted and are using strains of Drone control fiber optic cables to build their nests.

A post from Ukraine claims that this half-finished nest was found after a tree fell during a Russian glide bomb bombing.

Let us make it our goal, that our children will inherit a world in which birds once again build nests out of twigs and stalks.

I wonder if this is real. If it is, it's sad.

@pascaline @randahl The damages to the environment caused by russia will take decades to clean.
Just think of mining: Ukraine has the equivalent of 2x the size of Portugal mined.
Here's to me hoping justice will prevail, and muscovy will also pay for this.

It's a terrible strain on the environment, yes. The bombs, drones, all the materials and resources needed to create what's required for warfare. It's terrible. The cities and buildings that were destroyed also mean a lot needs to be cleaned up. The devastation is enormous. I truly admire the spirit of those who stay to fight for their country!
