"Rusty water three times a week": How do they live in Donetsk after 11 years of occupation

Most of the locals suffer from difficulties with water supply: water is served on a schedule that is constantly changing, and for the most part it is not suitable even for washing. "We only give us water in a private home in the Kalinin district only three times a week. It goes a thin trickle, and rust and stinky. That is, drinking it and cooking it is simply dangerous - no boiling will help. But we will still boil for washing," the residents told.

Donetsk also indignates the condition of recreation parks, and especially playgrounds and attractions, the authors of the article write. Parents teach on social networks frames of abandoned venues that can be dangerous for children.
