Two weeks without water, electricity, gas supply: dire humanitarian situation in Chernihiv

“The humanitarian situation in Chernihiv remains extremely difficult. The citizens heroically hold the line and have been living without water, electricity, heat supply and other critical communications for more than two weeks,” the press service of the National Police posted on Telegram.

Over the past day, the Russian invaders fired on the civilian population of Nizhyn town and the populated localities of Nizhyn and Chernihiv districts. The information about casualties is being clarified. Law enforcement officers carefully record all the circumstances and consequences of the Russian army's war crimes.

Police officers also actively help to deliver humanitarian aid, serve at checkpoints, patrol the streets, detain looters, inspect suspects and vehicles around the clock together with the territorial defense units.

"Over the past 24 hours, three people were identified who may be involved in sabotage and looting," the National Police informed.

On February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops shell and destroy key infrastructure, massively fire on residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages using artillery, MLRS, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
