Everywhere except for the Ostriv neighbourhood, which is part of the Korabelny district. It is constantly shelled, and it is not possible to do repairs there. It is dangerous, and the city services simply do not have time to fix everything. That’s why the authorities called on people to evacuate,” the officer said.
