The frontline hub, where many speak primarily Russian, has been hit by missile attacks in recent weeks. People living in the industrial city said they mostly get updates on the war from social media and personal contacts. She is not alone in swiping through posts to stay up to date. The local Telegram channels she reads - called "Typical Kramatorsk" and "I love (heart) Kramatorsk" - have 107,000 and 57,000 followers respectively.
