One of the things we Americans take for granted is the ability to fill a glass with water straight from the tap and drink it without fear of getting sick. This is not the case in Ukraine. Drinking tap water in Kramatorsk could very well land you in the hospital. Unless of course you take the time to boil it, but even then, if there were traces of Cesium 136, or similar nasties present, you just wouldn't want to chance it. Fortunately local supermarkets have a huge assortment of bottled water from which to choose. Most bottled water we found was with gas, and that suited me just fine. My favorite brand of Russian water was this one. Not only was it very fizzy, but it had a nice salty taste and was very refreshing after a day in the hot dry countryside.
