Quote: "We have survived this day. There have been a total of 324 strikes on Orikhiv today. Over 200 of them occurred before lunch, then by the end of the day the number stood at 324!

Nine residents have been injured.

This is the price we pay today for  'Russkiy Mir'.  ['Russkiy Mir', literally 'Russian world' or 'Russian peace', is the concept of total domination of Russian culture over other cultures; it gives rise to and 'legitimises' Russia's current expansionist, colonial politics - ed.] The town infrastructure is being destroyed. The population is being destroyed.

You never know which direction the strikes will come from and how many of them will be there."
