“This morning the Russians shelled the outskirts of the town, now they are opening fire on other parts of the town. Our State Emergency Service workers continue to eliminate the consequences of the previous shelling, while new objects, which need to be extinguished, are appearing. Then they will dismantle the rubble and search for people. One of such objects is a kindergarten, which has been renovated last year. Information about the victims is being clarified,” the governor wrote.
