Emergency service reveals over 4,000 explosive items in Kyiv Region per day

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Internal Affairs Minister Denys Monastyrskyi on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“In Kyiv Region, the Ukrainian State Emergency Service reveals more than 4,000 explosive items per day,” Monastyrskyi wrote.

The entire Kyiv Region has recently been liberated from Russian invaders, and now we can see the effects of the Russian invasion.

“The enemy acted not like the military but like a looter, murderer and rapist,” Monastyrskyi stressed.

In his words, forensic experts and investigation officers are now working at the scene of war crimes to document the evidence.

According to Monastyrskyi, many buildings are yet to be cleared of mines. Sappers are finding mines placed under helmets, in ammunition boxes, at the entrances to cellars, where the victims can be.

Monastyrskyi noted that Russian invaders had set trip wires even at the entrance door of the Hostomel unit of Ukrainian rescuers.

“Hence, the search for the dead civilians is complicated due to a large number of mines placed in public and residential buildings, as well as the massive rubble, under which the bodies of victims may remain trapped,” Monastyrskyi added.

The Ukrainian State Emergency Service called on volunteers to assist them in dismantling the rubble.

“In Borodianka, we met one hundred volunteer rescuers, who had already started to dismantle the rubble. Over three days, more than 5,000 persons have joined such volunteer units. I am grateful to everyone who has come forward. This is an important front in this war. This will greatly speed up rubble dismantling works,” Monastyrskyi stressed.

In his words, the enemy is insidious and ruthless, and the Ukrainian authorities are considering any threatening scenarios in the direction of Kyiv and preparing to face the enemy in enhanced mode.
