"We Can't All Go Away"

A resident of Druzhkivka—about life after the Russian shelling

Even in wartime, many people in frontline regions do not leave not only their homes, but also their hobbies. Yuriy Pechurin, a participant of the Revolution of Dignity and an ATO veteran, lives in Druzhkivka, located in the Donets region, 20 kilometers from the demarcation line. He collects old cars. A Russian bomb hit his yard and destroyed the roof of the house. Volunteers from the charity foundation "East SOS" restored it. We have arrived in Druzhkivka and visited Yuriy.
