The main thing is that the checkpoints should not be closed," the minister added.According to the UN as of March 2019, as a result of the conflict in the Donbas, 700,000 people in the region lost access to pensions.'<a href="https://uawire.org/kyiv-600-000-lpr-and-dpr-residents-receive-ukrainian-pensions" target="_blank">Kyiv: 600,000 LPR and DPR residents receive Ukrainian pensions - UA Wire</a>Vice News used to have superb coverage of the Donbas before it went stupid.  I recall watching this prior to it going behind the paywall although this intro does give a sense of it - I think the coverage of pensioners crossing back and forth to Ukraine was in it.  [MEDIA=youtube]jM_2y6MTPAg[/MEDIA] Vice News had a series called Russian Roulette that really made their name - there's a guy called Ostrovsky that was one of the principal correspondents.  They captured him in the DPR and put him through the wringer.  He was never the same afterwards.  Here's the first of the videos - there are scores of them, they invariably show both sides unvarnished.[MEDIA=youtube]TNKsLlK52ss[/MEDIA] First saw Ostrovsky getting drunk with the Vice founder on the trans-Siberian railway on their way to visit North Korean labour camps in better days.[MEDIA=youtube]awQDLoOnkdI[/MEDIA] It's quality content.</blockquote>
