This confirms the claim made on 5 January 2023 by the Butusov TG channel, which published an UAV footage showing burning remains in the ruins of psychiatric facility in Vesela Dolyna. Back then the loss wasn't counted due to the lack of recognizable parts visible in the UAV vid t.me/ButusovPlus/...

There are two darker spots on the hangar roof. Might be impact marks left by UAVs or possibly puddles of melted snow that fell on 10 April. On the left there is this strange orange glare, lens aberration? Or is it possible that the fire still rages inside?
