Tourists.

This is coolbet:

War tourism? Visit a warzone as a tourist? See the damage and devastation close up and in personal?

Sounds absurd. Not so absurd however. 

"Visit ‘Awesome Ukraine’ Right Now – With Sounds Of Gunfire & Views Of Destroyed Cities, War Tourism Is Growing In Devastated Country"

From eurasiantimes.com the article by Sakshi Tiwari August 10, 2022.

"Despite the devastation caused by the very nature of war, there are people around the world who want to visit conflict sites to witness it firsthand. It is happening in Ukraine now, after six months of Russia launching a bloody invasion on February 24."

"It is probably on nobody’s vacation bucket list to travel to Ukraine to experience living amid a conflict, see its devastated cities, and interact with its combatants. Six months of continuous fighting has turned once bustling towns into rubble."

"An organization called ‘Visit Ukraine’ is urging tourists to visit Ukraine to watch the devastation and resilience. While the idea sounds bizarre, it is also fast gathering steam and making headlines."

"Guided day tours of the so-called 'Brave Cities' that have resisted Russian invasion and are still doing so were started last month, giving tourists a look at how the nation survives amid conflict"

Go see the "Visit Ukraine" Internet web site. Personally I am staying away.
