There

is an endless number of military vehicles moving down Oboronna

Street, a central one in Luhansk, in western direction. These

machines are so common in the city that almost every citizen here is

now an expert in Russian military equipment and every child can

distinguish the sound of Grad multiple rocket launcher and its

ammunition, says Galina, a local resident who did not want to give

her last name. They can list all the locations where this whole

armada moves from, where it goes or gets repaired.

“I

ask my fellow (Luhansk residents): what did the rebels liberate you

from? In my case, from a peaceful life, a salary and a car,” one

local woman complains.
