football stadium has been reduced to rubble by a Russian airstrike in the northern city of Chernihiv.Videos on messenger service Telegram and pictures on Facebook show the scale of the devastation at the city's Olympic sports training centre, home to Ukrainian Premier League side FC Desna Chernihiv.The images depict a once-thriving 12,060 capacity stadium almost totally destroyed by the impact of the strikes.One of the main stands has been completely wrecked, with pieces of wood and metal piled on top of each other from where the stand has collapsed in on itself.
A shot from the exterior shows one of the main buildings blown out with wires and material hanging down and the glass windows shattered from the force of the blast.
But the most harrowing image is a panoramic shot of the stadium from the pitch itself. On what was once a lush green playing surface, there is now rubble and fragments of wood, brick and metal strewn everywhere.Do you think the UK's sanctions against Russia go far enough?
