"This footage really hits home how destructive war is. I mean, this is a proper apocalyptic hellscape. Everything turns to grey, the colour is like it's drained out of a place like this. All life is extinguished - there's no living tree, there's no flower or grass, there's just nothing. It's just different shades of grey."
