Sumy under threat of street fighting – mayor

Ukrinform
Air raid sirens have been sounding in the city of Sumy for several hours in a row; the city is under the threat of street fighting.

The relevant statement was made by Sumy Mayor Oleksandr Lysenko on his Facebook page and during a telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Sumy residents, please stay home. There is a threat of street fighting. Find a safe place!” Lysenko wrote.

During a telethon, Lysenko noted that public utility services had been restoring the infrastructure destroyed by Russian invaders over the past night. The city has been left without water supply services; people are collecting melt water.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching massive artillery strikes on housing sectors in Ukrainian cities and villages.
