Fires caused by the Russian attack are still being extinguished. On Wednesday, 29 May, the Druzhkivka City Military Administration will start distributing free construction materials to those whose houses have been damaged.

Filashkin said that two NGOs, Yanholy Spasinnia (Saviour Angels) and Akted, will help the local authorities deal with the damage inflicted by the Russian attack.

He also said that the local authorities will appeal to international organisations that provide financial assistance in similar cases. The Donetsk Oblast Military Administration hopes that each family that was affected by the attack will be able to receive a cash payment.
