“Since the occupiers here, like elsewhere, committed war crimes, they tried to hide them. According to the information we have, at least 1,000 local residents died as a result of military operations . Unfortunately, more people suffered due to the fact that they were not provided with timely medical help, because the Russian invaders destroyed all the medical institutions in Izyum in March, they did not work, access was also limited on drugs. These issues are a top priority,” Strelnikov said.

Therefore, women, children under 14 years old and the elderly had the opportunity to leave the city and are on the territory of Ukraine. Most are waiting for the opportunity to return to their homes. But the situation with critical infrastructure in the city is very difficult, which is a challenge for us. These issues will be discussed at the highest level and decisions will be made. We hope that we will have time to do everything to winter is unexpected for us,” added the representative.

These are also private, multi-apartment residential buildings, state and municipal institutions, as well as industrial facilities. The worst is that winter is ahead. And the centralized The heating, which was used by most of the residents, was destroyed. These challenges will appear in front of the local authorities, the leadership of the military administration of Kharkiv ,” he added.
