The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also said that sappers and specialists of the State Service of Ukraine in Emergency Situations have begun work to mine roads and buildings of the city. According to her, the process will take "three or four days", but for now he advised local residents to avoid parks and walk only along the sidewalks.
“The process has just begun. Now we have information that several buildings are mined. Now the Ministry of Emergencies and sappers of the Ministry of Defense will work there ... Walk only along the sidewalks. Do not go to all parks and other thickets until we clean up everything thoroughly there,” Avakov warned.

“We are engaged in electricity, and the water will be supplied about the opening of mail and banks. Let's start paying pensions ... In the next two days the railway will work,” Avakov also said on his Facebook page.
The correspondent of Interfax also spoke about the process of distribution of humanitarian aid that arrived in the city. There are no queues for cars with bread: people fit and take one or two loaf. But long lines lined up to other cars from which they give out drinking water, sausage, bags with potatoes, cabbage, onions, pasta and other products, there are large lines.
Some people are afraid that the issuance of products will stop as soon as journalists and high -ranking officials leave the city. Others express their fear that they will not have enough dairy products and there will be nothing to feed children.
