Yes. In the east there are many people with Russian roots, some of them are for Russia. Also, some hope that with the advent of Russia, we will have cheap gas and higher pensions (but free cheese is only in a mousetrap). But it is important to note that when the war began, the number of people supporting Russia decreased significantly. People are against war, against violence. Now there are many more people supporting Ukraine, even in the east (numerous protests confirm this).
We are relatively safe. Explosions are heard somewhere in the distance. It's like a thunderstorm.

I'll be careful. In fact, I'm more worried about our military, among them there are my friends. They say that they are constantly shelled and there are military battles. Some of the acquaintances do not get in touch and it remains to be hoped that everything is in order with them.

Is there food available for citizens there?

The shops have food. For those who cannot buy, food is given free of charge in special places. But many foodstuffs are in short supply.

especially perishable (bread and so on). The government offers people who have lost their jobs to receive compensation in the amount of one minimum wage. The price is about 220 dollars (keep in mind that our products are more cheap)

Medical aid?

We have medicines thanks to the support of countries from all over the world. There are not enough hospitals, many hospitals have been destroyed by rockets and air bombs. There are many wounded who cannot move and it is difficult to deliver them to safe areas.

What is the mood of the Russian soldiers, are you captured or free to go where you need to go?

I can move freely. But it's not safe to move around. There is a risk of being between the Ukrainian and Russian military in the center of the war. There are also a lot of queues on the roads. The authorities are trying to take away people who live in the most dangerous places.

Good question. Despite the fact that the American media warned of a possible Russian invasion, none of the inhabitants of Ukraine believed in it. Before the war, people complained a lot about the low standard of living, low wages and corruption, but now we understand how insignificant this all is compared to today. Now the entire economy of the country has stopped, people are left without work and, accordingly, without money. Many large farms are unable to bring food for animals because of the shelling, and the animals starve to death. It is no longer safe to move around the country. Schools and universities are closed. There are bombings in big cities. During an air panic, people live in basements and shelters, it is very damp there and it is easy to catch a cold. From what I hear, President Putin is not happy with the Russians' slow advance and is forcing his troops to act more aggressively. This is felt by civilians, if the protesting people interfere with the advance of the Russian military, the soldiers sometimes start kicking at the legs of the Ukrainians.
My family is engaged in cultivating the land. We grow sunflowers and sell them for export. Perhaps you fry scrambled eggs in vegetable oil from our sunflower)

Thanks for good words. I provided evidence and the post was unblocked. I had to wait until it was approved, probably because of the big difference in time zones
