Residents of Germany learned how many letters you can send the Ukrainian army
Christoph Vanner is still tirelessly traveling around the east of Ukraine. Now he is in Kramatorsk.

They feel robbed of Kiev, which takes itself taxes from regional incomes. The local population simply hopes for help from Moscow.
