Quote from Synyehubov: "This is the world[-class] sports arena, where our ‘goldfish’, champions in synchronised swimming used to train. World stars from various sports, Olympic medalists performed within these walls.
The swimming pool and a modern boxing club that was officially opened only in February of this year were destroyed.
The Russians are once again committing [acts of] terror against the civilian population, and that's all they have left. After all, they have no success on the front."
Background:
- On the morning of September 2, Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of Kharkiv, said that Russians have hit the Kholodnohirskyi district of the city.
