"In Chernihiv, 85% of Russian attacks destroyed residential areas. The direct targets were hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure. We must continue to support Ukraine, including through recovery, reconstruction and development. The EU's €50 billion Ukraine Facility for Ukraine is aimed at doing just that," the EU High Representative wrote in X.
According to Vyacheslav Chaus, head of the Chernihiv RMA, yesterday in Chernihiv, Borrell and Ms. EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Mathernova "talked about the situation in the region, losses due to the full-scale invasion and the progress of recovery.
According to Chaus, 66 hostile attacks were recorded in Chernihiv region last week alone. There were 157 explosions in 29 settlements. According to him, the enemy launched 3 X-59 air-to-surface missiles at the region, and that Russians are increasingly conducting air strikes, 19 of them last week alone. "The enemy is using Shahed-type kamikaze drones and FPV strike drones. - He said. - At night, the wreckage of an enemy "Shahed" fell on the outskirts of a village in Chernihiv district. Several houses were damaged. Preliminary reports indicate no casualties.
"Ukraine needs a just peace, not just an end to the war. It was important to hear this thesis from the Vice President of the European Commission, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell. In fact, we know how to achieve this - it is described in the Victory Plan, which the President of Ukraine presented to the EU leaders," said Chaus.
