“To the attention of the residents of Chernihiv region! The situation in Chernihiv region is currently under complete control. The defense forces continue to fulfill their duties and are ready for any developments," the Command reassured the public.

It is noted that the situation in the border areas of the region has not changed and is now under the full control of the State Border Guard Service, Armed Forces, and National Guard of Ukraine.
