  • In September 2022 Ukrainian armed forces liberated some parts of northern Donbas which was under Russian occupations for over than half a year. Main towns of the area, Lyman and Svyatohirsk, and villages between them are left in ruins.
    I visited those areas recently in order to see the real situation on the ground and examine humanitarian needs. Take a look at what Russia is leaving after their so-called "liberation".

    What a sad, dark journey. The shining lights are the families, the children and the animals so full of life and determination, right down to the dog fiercely barking and guarding what's left of his home. This report makes me feel as if I'm there, and it's haunting. Stay safe, Orest, and keep up the great work. Ukraine will win! Slava Ukraini! 💛💙

    Heartbreaking the devastation.We can see how difficult it is for you to process what you are experiencing, but very important to educate all of us not there. Stay strong and stay safe.

    Did I understand your friend's name to be Harrieta, I remember her from this past Summer, your country has so many heros, everyone actually.
    Thank you Orest, for making this documentation for us. These are the scenes that put knots in my belly. Those knots intensify my prayers.
    It's difficult to say Merry Christmas while viewing such devastation, but it'is like a prayer also.
    Again later, Bye........................Old Dave

    It's sad to see ordinary citizens suffer. All of this was preventable, if only the politicians took the Minsk accords seriously, rather than using it only to buy time for an armed conflict.

    Thank you for your efforts and sharing the devastations and the suffering of innocent civilians in these front line towns. As an Iranian American I am very sorry for the devastations that the Iranian drones are causing. please note that the Iranian people do NOT support their government's decisions for helping Putin. Millions of Iranians know that Ukraine is on the right side of this unnecessary war that Mr. Putin has caused. Historically speaking, thousands of years ago Iranians lived in southern parts of Ukraine and Russia, in particular the Pontic steppes above the Sea of Azov; so those of us who know the history of the area feel special bond with these beautiful areas that the wars have set back for years to come. I pray and hope this war is stopped as soon as possible so families can get back to their warm homes and lives. I found your channel when I was watching Johnny FD's channel.
    Slava Ukraini

    Thank you. Ruzzians are spent on all fronts. Bakhmut is pushed back. Melitopol is next to succumb, Ruzzians are trying to get ready to no avail. Split in half. Donetsk city is a warzone now, daily grads. Pushilin is crying for help in Moscow on deaf ears. Ruzzia could care less about DPR.

    With so many people displaced and having lost everything, could you do a video, following some of them. I can't understand if it was me, and I have just my house of generations in a small town or village, very little savings, and I get evacuated. To where have I gone? Where am I staying if I have no family to stay with elsewhere? Who gives me food? Is there money for me to get my pension elsewhere if I am a pensioner? Where are all the buildings being found to house all the displaced people? I know that until the war ends there is no point in rebuilding any buildings near the frontline, but now those who can't leave the country or have families to stay with with, where are all those thousands of people being housed and cared for during the war?

    I mean the woman journalist just said most of the people who were there would have liked to be with the russians. Why couldn't Ukraine just allow the LNR and DNR to be independent inside Ukraine and free from the Aidar and Azov battalions and the right sector. Why was it so important to deny the eastern part of Ukraine it's right to peace. The East of Ukraine has a different history than western Ukraine. They were only just one country since 1918. That's not that long ago. And while some traditions and customs are the same, a lot are different as well. Western Ukraine is closer to the central Europe liberal lifestyle and the East of Ukraine is closer to the more conservative Russia. It's not the civilians fault that they were born in one place not another. Yet they are punished for it.

      Just like Mariupol, Kherson ect ruSSia moves in ruSSians promising jobs, $ housing ect , to attempt to make those cities/towns pro-ruSSian, have been for so many years. Old soviet tactics. RF don't care they rape, kill, torture, doesn't matter if they are Ukrainian or pro-ruSSian
