I'd love to see Bakhmut. That city has been under constant siege for the last 6 months.

I've got a source for you: this Ukrainian is serving in Bakhmut right now. He's a "YouTube guy" in his unit, consistently uploading good quality footage. Skip the talking part and watch https://www.youtube.com/@MotoLifeUA/videos

Just go on Google maps, those cities are virtually untouched.

Yeah, I’m sure they can find suicidal volunteers to update the current state of google maps.

If they can even still drive the streets they drove last time.

What im saying is you dont need to update google maps. the damage is minimal.

See my other comment for footage from Marinka. Marinka is a north-eastern suburb of Donetsk City.

Avdiivka, Soledar, Bakhmut, Vuhledar, ... all the famous names of the current phase of the war look about the same, since they received about the same level of artillery pressure (kilotons, but of conventional explosives).

Marinka is a Western suburb of Donetsk City, still controlled by Ukraine mostly. https://goo.gl/maps/V2E57H5XFqzxoyvX6

Of course, western :)

Sorry for the mistake.

I'd expect them to be far less devastated given they haven't been at the fronlines in the most intense parts of the war.
