Ukraine: City near Kyiv ‘almost completely destroyed’, according to Ukrainian official

Oleksiy Kuleba, head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, said a city northwest of Kiev had been “almost completely destroyed”, according to CNN.

“There is no water or electricity there. There is no Borodyanka. It is almost completely destroyed. The city center is in a terrible state. Borodyanka is under the influence of Russian troops, they control this settlement,” he said.

Kuleba claimed earlier today on his Telegram account that Russian troops appeared to occupy a psychiatric hospital there with hundreds of patients, but have now left. Russian forces are still in the area, he said.

“These are people who are mostly sick, with special needs. But these are our people and we can not and will never leave them,” Kuleba said earlier.

“We do not understand how to evacuate these people, how to help them,” he said, adding that they were running out of medicine and water.

Following the rocket attack on a large apartment building in Borodyanka on March 2, the Ukrainian state emergency service told CNN yesterday that people may still be trapped in the rubble of the building. Borodyanka has come under constant bombardment in recent days, as have the small towns around it.
