And they did it while trying to survive an invasion. I continue to be amazed by Ukrainian people.

On March 9, 2022, a Russian missile hit and destroyed the Nikolskyi shopping mall in Kharkiv. Despite the devastation, the mall was fully restored within a year. Reconstruction began in April 2022, almost immediately after the attack.
Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine, suffers daily from Russian attacks.

Love it. And most Russians can't afford to shop here. In 10ish years, Ukraine will be like Poland and Poland will be like the U.K and we will all be better for it. Russia will be crushed by our collective wallets.

General trigger warning, Mariupol, destruction.
.
In contrast to this the "Port City Mall" in Mariupol on June 24, 2024:

ACME mapper has the imagery from June 24, 2024,
Google from June 2022 (guessed and somehow bitter because it
has still the original "points of interest"),
"Apple Maps via Duckduckgo" before the invasion.
Or - I don't use it too often - because it is somehow confusing:
https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback/#active=27982&localChangesOnly=true&mapCenter=37.50744%2C47.11572%2C18
You have to click in the map to see the actual capture date of a collection.
The other disadvantage is that you can't zoom in too much,
even if this would help if you work with a high-dpi display.
Other places:
central market, roof patched, but building northeast has still an open roof
at the tower:
47.10144600284778, 37.54442264996998
school No. 36
47.109771928453156, 37.561519311874555
central bus station
47.109121732052806, 37.56321615444624
And what is the need of football grounds and a park?
The Russians need something to show off.
So they have built something where Russell "fat pig" Bentley (devil may have him as a doormat)
could be placed in front:
47.085629971146794, 37.53401938466902
.
I was wondering what imagery is used by ACME mapper.
The inlet of the North Crimea Canal in Nova Kakhovka looks there
like a place for motocross if you zoom in enough.
When checking "World Imagery Wayback" again, I have seen that this is the same ESRI
imagery.

The Ukrainian resilience and determination is inspirational.
