"I will rebuild this house, we will rebuild the country, the main thing is to save lives," he told "Good Morning Britain."

A Ukrainian millionaire says he asked the military to bomb his newly built mansion when he saw on a security camera that Russian forces had occupied it and were firing rockets at Kyiv from his property.
Andrey Stavnitser, CEO of TransInvestService, an IT company, said he saw via a webcam last month that Russian soldiers had taken up a position on his land, bringing along a dozen pieces of military equipment.
They destroyed most of the cameras inside the house, but there was one small amateur webcam, he told ITVs Good Morning Britain on Monday.
Rather than allow the invaders to shell Ukraines nearby capital from his land, Stavnitser, 39, said he reached out to Ukraines armed forces, passed on to them the coordinates of his mansion and asked them to bomb it.
It was a kind of an obvious decision for me, the businessman said, adding that he felt disgusted to see the invaders traipse all over his home.
'I felt disgusted.'

A few days ago he told the same story to Bloomberg, with better photos.
"It looks like a nightmare."

(23,320 posts)2. It brings to mind a story I heard from the American Revolution....
can't recall the specifics, but same general outline. A wealthy landowner's palatial home was taken over by the British and used for a headquarters. The owner asked George Washington to bombard it with cannons, and the home was destroyed.
