Currently, communal services are conducting an inspection to thoroughly assess the situation and assist the affected.

«After the Russians attack, they conduct reconnaissance and attack again, it is difficult to provide information to the services without endangering them. Any places where missiles land, we first save people, and then property. Therefore, all services respond promptly, everyone knows what to do,» added the mayor.

The mayor believes that the increase in attacks on enterprises indicates that there are still people in the city who lead the Russians to these objects.

«It is difficult to say that they have increased the number of strikes. They occur precisely once or twice a week. In any case, more often than in the past six months. Judging by everything, there are people who lead them to industrial objects that they cannot reach and that are not visible from the street,» said Oleksandr Sienkevych.
