The resistance movement “Yellow Ribbon”operating in occupied Donetsk revealed on Tuesday that the occupied region of Donetsk is facing a dire situation with water supplies, and Donetsk, Chystyakove (Torez), and Snizhne are among the hardest hit communities.

“Currently, the so-called ‘Water of Donbas’ loudly announced plans to install booster pumps in multi-story buildings to ensure water supply to upper floors.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.
