“We are at war, and in the rear there are holidays, cars, fireworks. It's a shame! – ATO participant
Kyiv, November 25 (PolitNavigator, Maxim Karpenko) – Volunteers participating in the war in Donbass on the side of Ukrainian troops are shocked by what is happening in the rear. They expected widespread support from the population and authorities for the situation in the east, but were faced with complete indifference.
A soldier of the 12th territorial defense battalion, Dmitry Pryimachenko, stated this on Hromadske TV.

According to him, in the rear there is no impression of big changes that would allow the soldiers to believe that what they did at the front was “not in vain.”
Priymachenko noted that the fighters hoped that “there would be massive concern about the situation in the rear, and that we are united and want to open this abscess in the Donbass.”
“But we didn’t see it. In general, it was even insulting when you stand there, do your duty, and when you come here, you see how cool cars drive here, discos, holidays, fireworks. We are afraid that the people who came to power thanks to the Maidan will not have to be led through the Maidan again,” said a National Guard soldier.
