'Strategic target': Ukraine's Stalin-era reservoir
CGTN Europe • 2m 28s
Pockmarks scar the buildings housing the reservoirs and pumps of Karbonit's water filtration station.
We're a strategic target," the plant's manager Alexander Ignatenko tells CGTN. "There's no doubting that."
The five-reservoir station's importance stems from its role as the source of drinking, bathing and cooking water for approximately half a million Eastern Ukraine residents living in the Luhansk Oblast. If the facility gets hit, water delivery gets cut.
