“There is no mobile phone connection and internet, which is impossible to restore as the territory is occupied by the Russians,” he said, adding that “some parts have been left without electricity and gas.”
According to the announcement, Russian troops are housed in the buildings of the village council, in the Palace of Culture, in hospitals, in the homes of some citizens. “Occupation authorities” in the area have been appointed by local partners, who are now going to coordinate the administrative activities in the community. The council said some sections of the community had suffered significant damage and had been unable to contact the local psychoneurological boarding school, which housed about 200 patients. Due to a lack of communication, the council was unable to identify the people who were taken to hospital by the bus that was attacked by Russian forces on Friday. The issue of delivering medicine to a hospital in the village of Borova, including anesthesia, and humanitarian aid to the population in the form of food, hygiene products and basic necessities is acute, the council said.
Appeals have been sent to Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, who is also the Minister for Reintegration of the Provisional Occupied Territories of Ukraine, and to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Synegubov, for organizing area, according to the announcement.
