It is a city located very close to the front line, only two kilometers from the Russian forces“, details the founder of the association Always Believe. This former sailor, employed on oil tankers, has changed his costume. He must now wear a bulletproof vest to work. Before the war, he liked to travel and party , but the destruction of his hometown, Mariupol, changed everything.

Essential goods in this 70% destroyed city. “We don’t know what to do. Winter is coming, we live in an apartment, but what are we going to do?
