According to Viacheslav: "Today is another day, and there is much to do. The enemy, thanks to our Armed Forces, is gradually withdrawing from the Chernihiv region, but only it knows why it is actually doing this. But I hope it’s leaving here for good. Even if it is leaving to regroup and return, we will be waiting for it with double 'hospitality'.

Consequently, all communities are now working to restore their livelihoods. Our Armed Forces are working on clearing mines in the places where the enemy was positioned and on cleaning out the 'Moskal' [Russkies - ed.] filth."

Details: Chaus has appealed to Chernihiv Region residents, saying the threat of air and missile strikes by Russian forces within the region remains.

"That is to say, they are reaching us by air today and they are shooting at us.That is why I have a huge request: if a siren sounds, stay inside the shelters. It is still too early for us to relax. We still have much work to do and there is still a war on, the enemy is on our soil, in Chernihiv, in Ukraine.

Everyone knows what to do. Everybody get to work," urged the head of the Regional Military Administration.
