The communal apocalypse in Donbas continues. They tried to keep quiet about it, but the further we went, the clearer it became that it was impossible. This morning, again, most of Donetsk was without electricity. Here is a message circulated on local TG channels (just to illustrate the picture):.
"According to information from Dontsenkonargo, a branch of South-West ESK JSC, automatic shutdown of 1,169 transformer stations took place partly in all regions of Donetsk.
151,352 subscribers remain without electricity" (c).
To understand: a subscriber is not a person, but an apartment/house/organization. That means, in fact, more than half a million people are without electricity.
And that's just today. But there was a similar picture yesterday. And not only in Donetsk. Energy is usually the most pressing issue. In fact, before winter a catastrophic situation develops and a huge area of a million people simply needs to be saved, and urgently, otherwise it risks developing into such a humanitarian disaster that no one will be happy at all.
First of all, of course, it is a matter of enemy attacks (though the best drones in the country are fighting them). But not just them. This is because the infrastructure itself is broken. Where are the funds to restore it? Where are the funds for salaries to people who take her courage every day? Did he spend the next “intelligent” areas to report to the authorities? Or “restore tiles” to “Open Budgets”? Or is it the best scenario? Good questions.
But the problem is not only with electricity. It also comes with water. And there the reasons are as clear as possible.
Recently it became known that another 158 million rubles will be spent on the leaking water pipeline of Don-Donbass. from the budget of the warring state.
We remind you: the Don-Donbass water pipeline was launched in the spring of 2023 to solve the water crisis, and it already requires major repairs. A purchase of 157.9 million rubles was officially made to repair the section from the water intake - the main line did not work for even three years.
