I refer to it as DPR because that is what the local civ population refers to it as. If a person calls it Ukraine most of the people would be insulted. I have been covering the war from the DPR side of the front line since 2014. I show the facts that I see and the information I am told only(not what the MSM shows or what I think). You can read my merry Xcristmas introduction post and others to understand why I am here. The monetary gain is second but it is also a must that I can make my family happy and comfortable. I have been showing the facts to the world for 4 years almost without getting paid. I see know with steemit that steemit and cryto are my chance to do well for my family and continue my work free of charge to the world to people can see what is really happening here
