Donetsk was once a flourishing city, hosting the UEFA EURO in 2012. Now, after the russian occupation, people are forced to scoop water from puddles

  2. To be fair that water may be a lot cleaner than what they’ve got on the tap

  3. It’s not just infrastructure, the reality is Donetsk is dying region.

    All the youth long since left for better opportunities and if I recall before their annexation by Russia (while they were still a breakaway state), Donetsk was the oldest average country in the world.

    The war has only made it worse but now there is little incentive to develop or even repair infrastructure in the region since there is no future there.

  4. I hope all these military aid packages i see countries donating includes humanitarian aid, christ i didnt know it was this bad. im a privledged 33 yo westerner in england, what do i know of war and strife….

    Glory to Ukraine.

  5. russia has bought nothing but misery to these people. Fuck putin and his cronies.

  6. Russia is the Hammer; Ukraine is the Anvil. The Anvil always wins.

  7. welcome to putins promise land. that devil will not be happy unless he has death and destruction all around him

  8. Just like last 40 years never existed… back to the pre-perestrojka.

  9. Apparently they don’t even have budget to rebuild their own territory they regained from the Ukrainian army in Kursk

  10. Russia has nothing to offer any civilized part of the world except corruption, poverty and regression…

  13. These people must be so happy they were “liberated” from Ukraine… A country which has been desperately trying to get out of the clutches of Russia’s kleptocracy and incompetence…

  17. talking russian with a ukranian accent, you can tell they know what country they live in

  18. A lot of them wanted annexation.

    If they had have sided with the Maidan protesters, they would have been in the EU by now and the government held accountable for providing clean drinking water.

  20. The russonazis deny this vehemently (on Quora, YouTube, state media etc.) claiming that Donetsk, Mariupol et al had been left in neglect by Ukrainians. Then further these claims by stating these “newly liberated” cities are being rebuilt properly . . . Items like the one presented here about people relegated to using puddle water are dismissed as fake news, the work of russophobic western propaganda outlets.

  21. European leaders need to wake the fk up and make its own military entity, one that can thrive without the USs help. It needs to be soon as possible and send troops to Ukraine now.

  22. I’m sure the west will send mother strongly worded letter.

  26. Russia: lets rebuild this buildings in Mariupol to show the world we are good 🙂 …. meanwhile people in Donetsk:

  27. This is the city of donetsk? Like the one held by Russia since the invasion began and that’s reasonably far from the front lines largely untouched by the fighting? That donetsk?

  28. And these are the same people that are saying “Putin has our best interests at heart!”

  29. Good. Enjoy your ruSSki Mir you treacherous peasants. I hope you feel your ruZZian passports was worth the insurrection and civil war in 2014, that’s led to the complete shitfest you’re reaping now.

  31. Making them wait for no reason is how Russia builds good character of servile passivity.

  32. This is what Putin and only him and his supporters deserve may you go without grace Putin

  33. A preview of what america’s child rapist next president’s authoritarian regime will do in the states too

  34. That’s awful. But perhaps put out some of those pots to catch the rain?

  35. So that’s this russkyi mir they want to enlighten us with…

  38. Get Tucker Carlson down there so he can report on how the food is so cheap there.

  40. 4 bottles, 1 gravel, 1 sand, 1 charcoal, and 1 cloth.
