"Together with the mobile brigade, I have been to Zhovankoy and Mayorsk, which are located not far from the Zaytsevo KPVB. The bombardments do not stop there, and the day of our arrival was no exception. Despite this, people came to the aid and told how they live. They are tired of shelling, from the struggle for survival. They had a very hard winter: all social payments are frozen, their houses do not have water, light, or heating. And knowing this situation, we can not stop helping. This is a very complicated area with complex human fates. One elderly woman lost consciousness right at the time of extradition. People are just tired. Each visit of our volunteers to the "gray zone" is a risk in the name of helping people who by the will of fate have appeared in this situation. And in their eyes - thanks to Rinat Akhmetov and the volunteers for the fact that they are remembered and help them, "Alexander Vishnyakov summed up.
