During the terrible shelling of Donetsk by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in recent days, city residents celebrate the dedicated work of the city's public utilities. Work to clear the city of snow, remove garbage and repair electrical towers did not stop even under shelling.

Residents of Donetsk write about this on social networks.
“So that you understand what Donetsk is and what a real civil feat is. It’s a feat to not sit out the night in the basement under fire and then complain to FB, how scary it was (and also, it happens, ask for money in this regard!) A night in the basement is a necessity. The feat is never forced. A feat - after a night under fire, going outside to clear the snow. Not because you need to get through, but so that the city is well-groomed and beautiful!” writes political scientist and journalist Roman Manekin.
Political emigrant from Odessa, publicist and political scientist Ivan Lizan, who now lives in Donetsk, agrees with him.
“War is war, but the garbage truck, as it should be, took the garbage out of the yard at 1 o’clock in the morning. If I were a small child, I would probably believe that Donetsk utility workers are made of steel and live on atomic batteries - they do their work at any time of the day, regardless of the “pros”, “cons” and cannonade from cannon and rocket artillery . I hope that when all this disgrace is over, monuments to electricians and gas workers, public gardens named after employees of the city green trust will appear in Donetsk, and memorial plaques will hang on the houses of those whom this damn war killed during the performance of their official duties - ensuring our livelihoods,” he wrote on your social network page.
