🧿 Lights, camera, action. (Wall art in the hotel)

And good morning to all.

🧿 Next stop

🧿 Arrived

🧿 Dinner at a Georgian restaurant in central Donetsk, met some journos, Miodrag Zarković, Johnny Miller, and the one and only Texas Donbass (Russell Bentley)

🧿 As authentic of a ride as it gets. A Lada Niva in the donbass.

(I may show you the whole car at one point but for security reasons this picture is zzzzzzzooomed in)

🧿 Driving into Central Donetsk, Lenin overlooking the square, and a cameo by a "buhanka".

What a welcome to the city.

🧿 Fields of green, from the drive to Donetsk.

🧿 How is your morning coffee, or are you on the other side?

🧿 How do you wash your hands and face when there is no water and you are alone in the bathroom?

This is a solution used in Donetsk.

🧿 AHMAT SILA!

🧿 Do you have access to fresh shrimp and King Prawns?

The people of Donetsk do.

🧿 Cheese anyone?

🧿 I went to pick up my original press accreditation. This is what the entrance looked like. It had been shelled before.

🧿Rise and shine, bright and early.

Much filming to do today.

🧿 Working Brother was working from 0800h today spent all day offline, filming, just got back.

Accompanied a humanitarian organization from Moscow who came to deliver aid to people who had lost their homes to shelling, some in hospitals, some living in other houses, some injured and some very old.

Народная Дипломатия (People's Diplomacy) distributed foodstuffs, candles, soaps etc, as well as donated jackets.

This was in Kievski district of Donetsk, which was hit this morning.

There are many more videos but here is a tiny taste of the life of people in Kievski as well as the honorable work of volunteers like these heros.

More soon..
