The first article from CNN is just heart-wrenching. Pete Reed sounds like he was an amazing man. I read another article about him they had linked in the story…what a terrible, senseless loss for this world.

''One in five Russians do not have indoor plumbing and Russian troops have become notorious for looting lavatories from Ukrainian homes''

''The EU has banned the sale of lavatories to Russia to punish Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine''
''The export ban covers European “bidets, toilet pans, flushing cisterns and similar sanitaryware”, according to diplomats. It was brought in last summer but has only just been reported.''

“The flushing toilet has done more for civilization than any other single invention,” another European diplomat said. “So by restricting exports we are merely bringing Russia’s technological advancement in line with the state of its civilization.”

Russian troops have become notorious for stealing lavatories from Ukrainian homes, with president Volodymyr Zelenskyy referring to it twice.'
''The lavatory ban has been in force since July 2022 as part of a list of banned goods designed to hurt Russia’s industrial capacity. Not to be outdone, Britain has also sanctioned exports of “lavatory pans” and “toilet articles of porcelain or china”.
