They steal lives from our villages: ruined houses, damaged sketes and only domestic animals who stay

The de-occupation of towns and villages in the Donetsk region began in September. After a successful counteroffensive, the Ukrainian defenders liberated Sviatohirsk, and then Lyman and more than a dozen settlements in these areas. After de-occupation, life returns to most of them: bank branches are being opened, businesses are coming to life, heating points are being equipped and humanitarian aid is being brought.
