Russia's border zone enters fifth year of war as scorched earth

Original: The fifth year of the three-day operation as planned. "Prigranichiye", the term by which Russians nicknamed the gray zon

Russian border regions, sarcastically dubbed 'Prigranichiye' — the grey zone on Russian territory — have been transformed into scorched earth as the war reaches its fifth year. The 'three-day operation' mockery references Moscow's initial expectations in February 2022. Residents who have not evacuated their homes in areas near the Ukrainian border are left surviving under constant shelling and destruction, with little prospect of normal life returning.

Why now: The war's fifth anniversary has renewed attention on the irony that fighting now devastates Russian territory itself.
