"The car dealership suffered damage to the facade and roof, windows were smashed... This is a large car centre that was opened in 2020 and meets all the brand's standards. It is designed to display seven cars in the showroom. However, there are no plans to close the centre; it will be repaired," the statement said.

The centre is one of four official dealerships of the Citroen brand in Kyiv.
