#mykolaiv
Thanks to the French journalists for this report about my home city!
For about a month, more than half a million residents of Mykolaiv have been trying to survive without water. They bring industrial (technical) water to us, but even after boiling it is unsuitable for human consumption.
On April 12, russian invaders destroyed our water supply from the Dnipro River. And it is impossible to fix because of the rocket attacks and constant explosions to this day.
Just imagine that every day you have to bring home more than 30 liters of bad quality water and take it up to the ninth floor to your apartment to provide for your family. Also water is needed by older people and the disabled who cannot provide for themselves.
This situation could lead to disaster, to be honest.
We deliver water without elevator because it doesn’t work due to constant air raid alert. And buy drinking water in stores, but it is quite expensive because many people have lost their jobs and salaries. There is not enough drinking water in the shops, and its brought from other cities of Ukraine.

Thanks to your donations, we are able to buy food for homeless animals.
Our volunteers visited villages liberated from russian orcs in the Mykolaiv region. Most of the owners of these animals either fled the war or were killed by russians.

My city is deprived of communications and the Internet, for about a month we have no water and we are forced to collect water from puddles and sewers.
We do not have much food, and there is a shortage of medicines. My city is constantly shelled by russian invaders.
But we will survive.
We believe in it.
Employees of “MykolaivVodokanal” saved the cat who wandered through the sewer network of the city.
How long the cat was underground is unknown, he looks exhausted. He survived due to the fact that there was no centralized water supply in our city and it wasn’t filled with water.
The workers fed the cat and take him to the vet.
