"I don't know how to comment on this without swearing. Donetsk, the city of roses, boulevards, avenues, is turning into some kind of village. And I’m not even talking about the uncut silage along the sidewalks — I’m talking about the dying city infrastructure that lived for many years under Zakharchenko, and began to die with the arrival of Pushilin", - the "DNR" propagandists are quoting a certain "coordinator of the pro-russian Mykolaiv underground" Sergey Lebedev on July 18.
"Maybe it’s a coincidence? Here’s another coincidence: as soon as the DNR joined the Russian Federation, everything noticeably got worse. And someone clearly wants the residents of the DNR to form exactly this kind of association. I don’t believe in coincidences of this scale... It is believed that the full transition will be completed by 2026. Although some figures are already saying they won’t make it in such a 'short' timeframe", - the propagandist says.
He also criticizes the situation with the water shortage in the "DNR".
"Another interesting 'coincidence': in the DNR they laid a water pipe from the Rostov oblast. Before it was connected, water was supplied once a day, after lunch. They connected it — and it turned out: there’s not enough rain, so water would be available every two days. And now Donetsk gets water once every THREE days. In the summer of 2022, when there were hundreds of shellings per day, water also came once every three days. Maybe I missed something and the Banderites are under Donetsk again? No! It’s just that Pushilin is in Donetsk — and that’s death for the city", - the propagandist ranted.
"There’s no sane help from the authorities. Prices are about twice as high as in Moscow. In structures like the pension fund, getting adequate service is simply unrealistic. It’s like everything exists, but almost nothing works. And people nostalgically recall the rule of Zakharchenko", - insists the "coordinator", adding that he’s not sure "the city will last until 2026".
As reported, the head of the "DNR" Pushilin admitted that the water needs of the population in the occupied Donetsk oblast are being met by less than 50%.
