Quote: "Bucha is a Ukrainian city. Fighting continues on the approaches. The enemy broke through in some directions, street fighting continued. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are putting up a good resistance. They are actually pushing the enemy out of the city into the open field to destroy them.

Fighting continues between Bucha and Vorzel. And from the side of another town - Gostomel. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Territorial Defence work together, interact."

Details: Fedoruk said that "the fighting has not stopped for 4 hours in a row."

Quote: "Kadyrovtsi have come in. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are pushing them towards Vorzel and beyond Bucha." 

Fedoruk stressed that information about a mass evacuation was not true.

Quote: "There is no such evacuation of citizens as we observed in the first days, as it is dangerous for citizens." 

"Citizens are in bomb shelters, there is no panic. The city is managed, controlled. We are holding on," the mayor added.
