Details: Ihor Kolykhayev noted that the city authorities are keeping a record of all the buildings that have been destroyed and damaged and estimating losses. The restoration will be funded by the city budget and donors.

He called on those victims who have not yet filed a complaint about damage sustained to submit such data to their councils of prefects, noncommissioned officers, and heads of district councils.
