Villages in the grey area are in decline – in the settlements, caught between the temporarily occupied territory and the Ukrainian military, life really stops. There do not ride buses. In the village Verhnetoretskom now the only hope for bridge repair – while this is only two piles of sand.

People, though they remained slightly, plead Ukraine. At the local store refuse to sell the goods in Russian rubles, though the currency freely circulates within a few hundred meters to the occupied territories. “We have a Ukrainian shop. We have products from Ukraine we live in Ukraine. Yet, because we do not consider Ukraine – say, a grey area. Product hard to bring in guys somehow agree,” recognized sellers.

Local recognize that their life can change any day. Because of the night shelling often there are fires to put out that anyone. In the morning the people to the fires tied the four-legged guards protect at least those that remained. For the future, in which, despite everything, I believe.
