Donetsk journalist reported on the critical situation in Severodonetsk
While the attention of the Russian media is focused on the restoration of Mariupol, the situation is no less critical for the residents of Severodonetsk, where many houses were also damaged during the fighting.
Donetsk journalist Yulia Andrienko spoke about this on PolitWera, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The outskirts of Severodonetsk... There is a lot of destruction... Probably more than 95%. We also found people there... When you stop with humanitarian aid, they come like those (escaped and “orphaned” due to the death of their owners - ed.) dogs and cats from everywhere. They’re just sitting somewhere, hiding somewhere - I don’t know what awaits these people in the fall.
Our Septembers, of course, are still warm, this is another month of summer in Donbass, but October is definitely cold and autumn. Major destruction. What they saw there, of course, was a disaster. I don’t know, we probably need to build some kind of mobile towns where people will spend the winter, or evacuation points, but we need to work,” the journalist shared.
The Donetsk woman reported that many local residents are demoralized.
“I can say right away: people just rush at you because you are a representative of civilization. Nobody talks to people. Especially there.
For some reason, the situation in Mariupol is different. Mariupol is an example of how it should be done. Yes, it's hard. It was no less difficult there than in Rubezhnoye. But people are somehow more inspired. Both the humanitarian aid and United Russia got involved and saved. There were no deaths from starvation when Russia entered. When Ukraine held people hostage, it is quite possible that this happened.
Here people simply say that “In five months, you are the first to come to our area. There somewhere far away (meetings are held, pressing problems are discussed - ed.), we can’t get there, we don’t have transport.”
I heard a lot of complaints. The authorities need to come there more often. You need to talk to people so that they don’t lose their presence of mind,” Andrienko urged.
