It is noted that more buildings have been destroyed in Ukraine than if every building in Manhattan (New York) was levelled to the ground four times. Parts of Ukraine, hundreds of kilometres apart, look like Dresden or London after World War II or like the Gaza Strip after six months of bombardment.

In addition, the analysis shows that over 900 schools, hospitals, churches and other institutions have been damaged or destroyed, even though they are supposed to be protected by the Geneva Convention.
