For people who were born and lived in Donetsk, the city today is associated with entirely different feelings than before. Despite the fact that the occupation administration has given assurances for years regarding the restoration of construction and ensuring economic growth, local residents note only a deterioration in living conditions and a lack of any prospects for the future.
The publication contains the testimony of a native Donetsk resident, who detailed the transformations that have taken place in the city since the start of the occupation. She emphasises that loud statements about large-scale "reconstruction" and a better future are merely a facade, behind which decline and hopelessness are hidden.
As noted in the material, supporters of the "Russian world" stubbornly ignore these negative trends. Although Russia positioned its presence as a guarantee of a better life for the Donbas, in reality, according to the authors, the region is deprived of a future.
Flagship projects presented by the occupation authorities as evidence of reconstruction are unable to mask the real picture. It is this reality that Donetsk residents face daily, seeing a lack of development and a deterioration in the quality of life.
