Aerial view of Ukraine's Telmanovskiy Granite Quarry in Hranitne (Granite) in Eastern Ukraine (Donetsk Oblast), now under control of Russia (as of August 2023) since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian invading forces seized the quarry and village of Granite in 2022, and Russian media sites shortly after published plans for the restoration of the quarry for production of granite. In 2023 (and currently), Russian websites began recruiting employees for demolition and mining operations. Photographed in December 2021.
