Quote: "Regarding the Officers' House: what will be demolished and what will remain?
After being hit by a missile, the building is dangerous. This is the conclusion reached by the State Emergency Service.
Following an examination by specialists, it has been decided to dismantle the ruins. We are not talking about demolishing the entire building, but dismantling hazardous structures where it is dangerous.
The Officers' House survived the Second World War. It will survive this one as well – it has already become a symbol of Vinnytsia’s resilience."
