In occupied Severodonetsk, 90% of the housing stock was damaged, there is no heat supply in the city, only a third of the city has electricity, and the sewerage system does not work. The head of the Severodonetsk city military-civilian administration of the Lugansk region Oleksandr Stryuk announced this on the air of the informational telethon.
"Now the situation remains quite complicated. The occupying authorities failed to prepare Severodonetsk for the winter season," Stryuk said.
According to him, it was possible to organize an hourly supply of water due to the operation of a generator at the water intake, to supply electricity to a third of the city. The centralized sewer does not work.
"Well, there is practically no heat supply in the city, with the exception of one microdistrict - there are several houses that are trying to heat at the expense of a running auxiliary boiler house, to which they managed to supply gas. But this is all quite dangerous, since there were no revisions of the networks, given almost 90% of the damage of the housing stock, everything should have consequences after itself, and they are not predictable," the EVCA chairman stressed.
According to him, about 8,000 civilians remain in Severodonetsk.
"This population has a migratory character. People from the suburbs, nearby villages are returning back, trying to spend the winter in private houses. Because there are wells, access to water, somewhere there are stoves or boilers for heating the room..." Stryuk said. .
He noted that it is possible to leave Severodonetsk for the territory controlled by the government of Ukraine only by detours - through the Russian Federation, the Baltic countries, Poland.
