Donetsk RMA said that recently, the bodies of 109 invaders were delivered to the morgue in Pervomaisk. There are 730 injured invaders in the local hospital. The staff does not have time to provide assistance due to the overload of the medical institution and the lack of painkillers.
According to the RMA, life has stopped in the occupied Rubizhne. For more than a year of occupation, recovery has not begun. To provide themselves with water, residents drill wells in their yards and neighbourhoods at their own cost as most areas do not have centralised water supply. Local collaborators do not even promise to restore the system. Neither do the damaged buildings, which have been destroyed by bad weather for more than a year. There is no public transport in the city. Despite the considerable length of the settlement, it is possible to get around it only by taxi. The medical situation is also critical, not mentioning the emergency. Earlier it was reported that there are two ambulances in Sievierodonetsk. In Rubizhne, there is only one. As elsewhere, it is impossible to call doctors due to the lack of mobile communication.
Oleksandr Striuk stated that the invaders and collaborators are afraid that information about them goes beyond the occupied Sievierodonetsk, so entry to the city is restricted. The school where teachers give out assignments to students is not connected to water and heat supply networks. And russians flaunt a “new” sports ground that was actually operating in 2020.
