Putin humiliated as citizens forced to resort to desperate means amid water shortages
Express US ^ | 7/23/2025 | John Varga, John O'Sullivan

The Russian-controlled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine's east are teetering on the brink of a severe humanitarian crisis, with certain locales having been parched for four months straight. The dire water scarcity is attributed to rampant corruption and gross mismanagement by the Kremlin-backed leadership.

Donetsk and Makiivka are bearing the brunt of the crisis, inciting residents' fears of potential disease outbreaks. In response, local officials have rolled out emergency water rationing for the nearly 1.3 million inhabitants of both cities.

Andrey Chertkov, the interim head honcho of the self-proclaimed DPR government, cautioned citizens about the new tri-weekly water access schedule.

In his official pronouncement, he declared: "The volumes [of water] that we have are not enough for manufacturing, agriculture, but first of all not enough to supply water to the residents of the republic."

He further detailed: "In the coming days, Donetsk and Makiivka will switch to supplying water once every three days. Khartsyzk, Ilovaisk, Zuhres - once every two days," acknowledging the hardships this would impose, yet citing no alternative.

Frustrated denizens have flocked to social platforms to express their ire towards the Russian-appointed authorities and share their harrowing experiences. Oleg Tsaryov, a pro-Russian sympathizer, lamented that Donetsk was becoming inundated with plastic bags filled with human waste.

"You can't flush the toilet. It's a common thing: people in Donetsk put a small bag in the toilet. And then those bags, the normal people throw them in the trash. Those who don't, throw them under windows. Neighbours fight against this."

In the book of Revelation, The bear has 3 bloody ribs in its mouth. I assume Ukraine is one rib, two more old soviet satellite states to go. Georgia and Moldova???

When Russia was conquering Crimea, Ukraine shut off the water supply.

Note: IIRC, Ukrainian soldiers laid down their arms and said they would not kill their brothers.

The daily Russia-is-doomed post. If Russia is really that bad off, why the massive effort to whip up fear against it?

The daily Russia-is-doomed post.

Do you deny the credibility of this report?! Do you dispute that there is a severe water crisis in these territories?! Are you saying that it is wrong to report about it?!

If Russia is really that bad off, why the massive effort to whip up fear against it?

I don't see any "massive effort" to "whip up fear." Looks like a perfectly normal article about a humanitarian crisis caused chiefly by Russian mismanagement and corruption.

But maybe you don't care about 1.3 million people lacking adequate drinking water.

Regards,

That’s the conundrum Zeepers find themselves in.

On one hand they say Ruzzia is a threat to the world.

They they remind us that Ruzzia is so weak they could not take “Kiev in 3 Days”

Dang! No eggs, no butter, no potatoes and now no water! Russia sucks.

At least there’s always Auntie Griselda’s pucker salad.

They all work for Putin. That's why they're corrupt and nothing is working.

the grifter zelensky spins con that he’s REALLY READY for peace.... this time.

zelensky goes and holds a global press conference to spout this b.s., and pleads for russia to meet for talks

russia, under world wide scrutiny, says they’ll meet somewhere

zelesky launches huge suprise overnight attack on russian assets

russia announces they’re canceling talks

zelensky goes on world wide media and says “see, russia isn’t serious about wanting peace”

marcus and others spam FR with as many articles as they can find, to gaslight FR into believing zelensky is as pure as driven snow in wanting peace with the nasty russians, but putin doesn’t want peace.

rinse and repeat

There is no bear mentioned in the book of Revelation.

Maybe you are referring to Daniel chapter 7? If so, it is generally understood that the second of four beasts is the one that followed the Babylonian Empire, which would be the Medo-Persian Empire.

They never mention Britians being humilitated by Starmer, losing more of their pensions, and being pushed out by Muslims....

The British Empire’s Days of using the US as their military muscle are coming to an end.
