"The water pipeline from the Don, which has been built, along with all the reserve reservoirs located in the republic, covers about 50% of the total necessary water supply. Of course, we also have to account for the wear and tear of the infrastructure", - said the head of the "DNR", Denis Pushilin, during a meeting with the russian dictator putin today, January 10.
At the same time, the "DNR authorities" have organized an operational headquarters to address water supply issues.
"We have created an operational headquarters that brings together all resources—this includes 'Water of Donbas' and our heating specialists. Additionally, the headquarters coordinates the work of volunteers, who are essential. They are involved in assisting low-mobility citizens since carrying water to upper floors is very difficult, so we have engaged our youth", - Pushilin explained.
It was previously reported that in the occupied part of the Donetsk oblast, in the settlement of the 31st mine, local "authorities" have been unable to connect houses on two streets to the central water supply network for three years.
