The structure of the Kherson regional library for children was damaged

In January, another shelling of Kherson by Russian war criminals damaged the building of the Kherson Regional Children’s Library named after Dnieper Seagull. The Kherson regional communal emergency and rescue service helped the book collection team close broken windows and doors.

“Broken glass and damaged structures of 25 windows, damaged entrance doors on all three floors, splinters cut the soft roof and facade cladding…

The Kherson regional communal emergency and rescue service promptly responded to the appeal of the library administration and provided materials for urgent repairs.

Special thanks from our team of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine! Thanks to their skillful work, today all damaged windows are closed with OSB plates, the doors have been repaired. So the book collections, furniture and equipment of the library are now at least protected from rain and snow. Thank you, rescuers!

The Russians continue to shell the Kherson urban territorial community. Serhii Orekhov, Deputy Chief of the Kherson City Military Administration, announced this.

“Since November 20, Kherson has been shelled more than 1,700 times. 74 people have died, including 1 child. 207 people have been injured, including 5 children,” the report says.

In the city, 1,300 objects were destroyed.

“Over the past weekend alone, 74 buildings were damaged – among them housing stock, sports facilities, cultural heritage sites,” Orekhov noted.

Russian invaders continue to terrorize the local population.

In the temporarily occupied resort village of Zalizniy Port, Skadovsky district, Kherson region, the Russian so-called “administration” is carrying out a census and confiscation of businesses (boarding houses, cafes, restaurants) that have not been re-registered under Russian law from Ukrainian citizens. This was reported in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

Back in the summer of 2022, the occupiers introduced a “management procedure” for all objects and property, both movable and immovable, located on the territory of the Kherson region captured by the Russians. This was reported by local media.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian invaders practice moving into empty apartments and houses of residents who fled in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The Melitopol Gauleiters clearly had a double in history. The self-proclaimed mayor G. Danylchenko once again got into a puddle of street renaming.

Yesterday, Gauleiter once again announced the signing of the so-called temporarily acting Governor of the Zaporizhzhia region Ye.Balytsky Decree on renaming streets in Melitopol. Danylchenko called the reason for the renaming, as she considers, a good one:

– In 2016, as part of the so-called Ukrainian decommunization, many streets of Melitopol were renamed in honor of Ukrainian Nazi ideologues, our historical names were tried to be erased. Now that the Zaporizhzhia region has become part of a large country, it is time to restore historical justice. The relevant Decree was signed by governor of the Zaporizhzhia region and entered into force. In total, the names of 55 streets, 30 alleys and one square will be returned, the Gauleiter’s statement says.

Next, the retired woman in power presents a list of streets to be renamed. And what we see: Danylchenko listed General Vasyl Petrov among the collaborators of the Ukrainian “Nazis” who are so hated. Yes, the same two-time Hero of the Soviet Union, who led the defense of Odesa against German troops in 1941, lost both hands. Now the street will bear the name of the scoundrel Menzhinsky – one of the bloodiest criminals of the Stalin era, who headed the Cheka-ODPU and sent people to death en masse just for their wrong origin or political beliefs.

We look further down the list and see that the Soviet pilot, two-time hero of the Second World War Amet-Khan Sultan, according to Galina Danylchenko, was also included in the list of “Nazi ideologues”. In different countries of the world, streets were named in honor of Amet Khan Sultan, commemorative plaques and monuments were erected in Kyiv, Yaroslavl, Makhachkala, Zhukovsky, and Paris. And on the initiative of his French brothers, he was awarded the title of Honorary Pilot of the French Air Force.

And in Melitopol he became a “Ukrainian Nazi”. Collaborators returned the old name of the street – “Zhovtneva”.

But that’s not all. The list of “Ukrainian Nazis” in Melitopol was supplemented by the Soviet scientist, designer of rocket and space systems, chairman of the Council of Chief Designers of the USSR, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR – Korolev. It is difficult to say why the scientist did not please Balytskyi and Danylchenko, that he was recorded as “ideologues of Ukrainian Nazism”. After all, there is even a whole city in Russia named after the academician. But now the alley will be named in honor of the leader of the revolution and Stalin’s loyal companion – Kuibyshev.

Both Balytskyi and Danylchenko were taught bad history at school, if one signs such Decrees, and the other executes them. In Moscow, the Melitopol Gauleiters are unlikely to be beheaded for humiliating the memory of Soviet Heroes.

From the prisons that existed before the occupation, the Russians moved at least 3,500 prisoners to Crimea, the chairman of Melitopol said

The occupying “power” ordered to legalize 28 prisons in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, three of them in the Zaporizhzhia region.

This was reported by the chairman of occupied Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, on January 30.

“If earlier we said that only in the temporarily occupied Melitopol there are at least five torture chambers, then the Rashists have already legalized some of them,” Fedorov said. prisoners to the temporarily occupied Crimea. Of course, they were moved illegally.”

According to the chairman, the Russians kidnapped almost a thousand residents of Melitopol, and hundreds more are in captivity.

After the attack on Ukraine, the Russian occupying forces seized part of the territory of the Zaporizhzhia region. On February 26, 2022, after battles with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the occupiers entered the 150,000-strong Melitopol.

The occupiers could not take the regional center of Zaporizhzhia. Therefore, they decided to make Melitopol the “capital” of the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region and held a pseudo-referendum there on the “accession” of the region to the Russian Federation.

Fedorov noted in November that “after every successful attempt by our forces to eliminate the resistance, the occupiers and collaborators of the Rashists surround the areas and conduct searches.” If a person has something Ukrainian at home, for example, a flag or clothes with symbols, they will be kidnapped and tortured, informed the mayor of Melitopol.

The occupiers are taking children out of Ukraine and presenting it as a great achievement.

The Russians once again took out children from the occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region. Like, to the Crimea for a vacation. They happily reported on this on their propaganda resources.

We can only hope that the children will really return home safe and sound. After all, it is extremely problematic to leave the occupied territory even to the same occupied Crimea. So, in case “something goes wrong”, it will be difficult for parents to pick up their children.

In the fall of last year, children from Energodar and nearby settlements were allegedly taken to 15 Crimean sanatoriums located in Yevpatoria for rehabilitation.

Later, the Russians confronted the parents with the fact that the children were “delayed on vacation in Russia for an indefinite period”, ordered to hand over warm clothes and “reassured” that the children would go to school there.

Fortunately, after some time the children were returned home. But you can expect anything from the occupiers. So, it’s better not to risk it.

An occupier named Danylo (who lives in the occupied part of the Kharkiv region) said in a conversation with his wife that he “served” at a checkpoint in the village, where they were given lists of citizens loyal to Russia.

And they also gave a list of “unfortunate ones”, including persons who returned to the occupied territories from the free territories of Ukraine.

It is obvious that such lists are used to terrorize the local population, which opposes the Rashists and refuses to cooperate with them.

The Russian occupiers continue to fire mortars and artillery at populated areas of the Chernihiv region, the Operational Command “North” reports.

From 5:05 p.m. to 5:10 p.m., two hits were recorded, probably from a 120-mm mortar in the vicinity of settlement Klyus.

From 18:30 to 18:40 it became known about four hits, probably from barrel artillery in the area of settlement Leonovka.

In both cases, there were no losses among personnel and equipment. It is noted that there were no reports of casualties among the local population or damage to civil infrastructure.

The Sumy region was again attacked by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Sumy regional military administration reports.

The Sumy Regional Military Administration in its telegram announced new “arrivals” in the Sumy region. In total, 18 hits from the weapons of the Russian Armed Forces were counted.

The military of the Russian Federation used mortars and artillery to shell the Sumy communities. The Yesman community was subjected to mortar fire, which provided seven “arrivals” of mine-type weapons. Later there was a second shelling, in which there was another “arrival”.

The Belopolskaya community felt the artillery salvos, which made 10 “arrivals”.

In total, there were 18 arrivals, all of them without casualties or destruction of civilian infrastructure when they hit the territory of Ukrainian communities.
