“There is no life without water, Uncle Vova [President Vladimir Putin]. Help us so we can simply wash, drink and live.”
“Please give us the simplest miracle — water in our homes.”
Schoolchildren from Russian-annexed Donetsk in eastern Ukraine made these appeals in a video addressed to Putin.
Residents also asked Putin to “take personal control of the region’s water supply situation” and “punish” those responsible.
Problems with water access have plagued Donetsk residents since 2014, but the region’s water crisis has become especially acute in recent weeks.
Russian-installed authorities introduced a strict schedule for water supply in Donetsk and the nearby city of Makiivka this month, with water available once every three days, for just four hours. In Mariupol, Khartsyzk and Ilovaisk, water is supplied once every two days, also for four hours.
Residents say the tap water, when available, is muddy, foul-smelling and unfit for drinking.
“People carry buckets down to the basement and take turns collecting this water — just enough to flush the toilet. You can’t cook with it, wash with it or even brush your teeth,” said a post showing yellow tap water published in Donetsk Vesti DNR, a pro-Kremlin group on the VKontakte social media site.
The same group posted a video of murky brown water running from the tap on Monday.
“According to statements from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service…the tap water in our cities ‘fully meets all quality standards’ and is officially classified as drinking water,” the post said ironically, adding that residents are “being charged for it as if it were actually drinkable.”
Local residents also complain that low water pressure means that water often does not reach above the second or third floors of apartment buildings.
Outside the official supply hours, residents are forced to rely on water delivery trucks with limited availability or pay steep prices for bottled water.
Local resident Maryana told the RTVI broadcaster that her family needs “two 40-liter canisters and about 20 plastic bottles” to survive for two days.
“The water truck arrives and we fill up. Our arms and legs are shaking, but we’re happy we managed to get some water,” she said of the process of collecting water. Some residents arrive to wait hours before water distribution begins. The water is often rusty and smells like a swamp. The region’s chronic water problems have significantly worsened since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
