Donbass: the flipside of war

Members of the public organisation ‘Memorial. We Will Not Forget, We Will Not Forgive!’ travel every day to the destroyed towns and villages of the Luhansk People’s Republic.

They find and then help identify and bury those who have fallen victim to the war that has been going on in Donbas since 2014. And they also help local residents in solving many problems – for example, with the restoration of documents.

Anna Soroka, chairwoman of the organisation, and her associates tell us about the difficulties and even dangers they face: Ukrainian mines and unexploded ordnance are everywhere.

You will also learn the stories of Donbass civilians who did not leave their homes and miraculously survived the fighting.
