WWII monument Saur-Grave in Donetsk area then and now. | Саур-Могила тогда и сейчас. This ~300-m kurgan was a strategic location during WWII with losses in the tens of thousands on both sides, hence the monument. Those of you whove been following the developments in Ukraines ATO, know that only a few dozen DPR defense men managed to keep Ukraines army away for two months with reported casualties in the hundreds on the latter side. Today, DPR defense chose to abandon it, as it ran out of supplies, and the location lost some of its strategic importance (i.e. the defense began using artillery). P.S. The defense is in no way glad about the losses of Ukraines army as per Khodakovsky. rian.ua/incidents/20140809/355815375.html
