Donetsk remains without significant objects for residents: shells destroyed the Youth House "Youth" (PHOTO)
Donetsk, August 27 (Navigator, Mikael Chagalyan) – As a result of artillery shelling, Donetsk lost another important, almost iconic, object. A few days ago, the Yunost Youth Palace, located near the Donbass Arena stadium, was slightly damaged by shrapnel and a blast wave from shells that exploded nearby.

Now several shells hit the building directly. One shell hit the window directly, tearing one of the façade slabs and causing internal damage. The second one exploded on the first floor, hitting right into the base of the building. Naturally, there is almost no intact window left, and, most likely, “Youth” needs a major overhaul.
In peacetime, all major city events took place here, and it was here that pop stars gave concerts and performed.
The stage of the Youth Palace "Yunost" is the only one in the city that meets modern technical requirements for holding large cultural events, and their organizers were attracted by the capacity of the hall and the location of the building.
Also, thanks to the location and large number of specialized premises, a huge number of children's clubs, dance clubs, and art sections were based here.
There was also a swimming pool where parents from two adjacent areas brought their children. At the moment, it is too early to say whether it is even possible in the future to use the Youth Palace in its previous capacity for one reason: the trend is such that the complete destruction of the building cannot be ruled out, and in the near future.
