"Making money off pensioners" is flourishing in the occupied territory of the Donetsk oblast: both "grey", when "intermediaries" bring money to residents for a specified percentage, and frankly fraudulent, when people are simply screwed over. This was written by blogger Spiteful Uke. "Whoever does not want to make money off pensioners in the occupation, the business is profitable and very good. For the fact that they bring you money, withdraw it in Ukraine, they will charge you 10% of the amount, plus using a bank, services, but the amount must be more than $520 on the hryvnia account", - the blogger reported. He also spoke about other types of intermediary services for the CADO residents. "If the card is reissued, a trip to a notary in Rostov or Taganrog costs $280-350, so everything is good and fun. The average net income of the one who does it is from $520-1050, and this is if he took upon himself the burden of bringing pensions to 20-30 people. The main contingent are retired miners, for whom the road through Russia is a disabling burden", - the blogger stated.
The "DNR" occupiers opened the Olenivka checkpoint, which is located opposite the Novotroitske checkpoint, on January 24. 248 people used the humanitarian corridor in both directions. This was reported by the fake "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DNR" on January 25. The entry-exit pass was open from 07.30 to 18.45 (the occupiers are guided by Moscow time). 24 vehicles and 124 people were let into the occupied territory. 25 vehicles and 124 people as well were released into the free territory of Ukraine.
Two miners were injured at the mines in Zhdanivka and Makiivka in the occupied territory of the Donetsk oblast. This was reported by the fake "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DNR". Thus, the miner born in 1980 needed emergency medical care at mine No. 22 Kommunarska (branch of the Donbas Mine Management) in Zhdanivka on January 24. The victim is hospitalized. The resuscitation and anti-shock crew was also called in Makiivka - to assist the loader of the surface coal warehouse, born in 1987, at the Kalynivska-Skhidna mine. The victim was also hospitalized.
In occupied Donetsk, citizens complained about the quality of tap water, which has a specific smell once again. The Donetsk residents wrote this in local publics. "The water started to smell like corvalol again"; "It started to smell again… Yes, it did not stop, not one, but the other, now it is like shark urine…", - the Donetsk residents wrote. A resident of the Kalininskyi district of the city showed on video a water filter that was changed only a week ago, but it has already become too dirty. At the same time, people stated on one of the separatist Telegram channels on behalf of the "republican" clone of Water of Donbas that the quality of drinking water in Donetsk is monitored daily. "There are no deviations in the quality of drinking water from the norms of state standards, the quality of water in the city of Donetsk is under control", - the occupiers assured.
