This is the usual structure for Ukrainian grain storage bins. Normally there are posts supporting it. Trucks can drive right underneath for loading purposes. This one appears to be abandoned and possibly in the process of demolition. The supports have been removed, but is has not collapsed because it is empty. PS: Ukraine is the greatest!!!!

First of all, I want to think you because I always ask me the same question and as I see we are not the only one.

I could be wrong, but at least you can find more (and better) pictures of the building by doing a google image search for Kin Dza Dza.
