The head of the Kharkiv OVA spoke about the defense of the city, the battles that are being fought with the invaders in the region, as well as the economy of the region and the sowing campaign, in an interview with Gazeta. ua.
Oleg Sinegubov noted that at present the Kharkiv region is being shelled by Russian troops, who are attacking peaceful cities from multiple rocket launchers and artillery. The intensity of shelling is growing. In Kharkiv, people are killed and injured almost every day.
In the south-east of the region, due to the likelihood of fighting, the civilian population was evacuated. In particular, 50 thousand people have already been evacuated from the Lozovsky district.. Barvenkovo \u200b\u200bwas also evacuated in an organized manner - about 4.5 thousand people left. Oleg Sinegubov noted that the regional authorities strongly recommend people to leave, now they are agreeing on safe routes.
Separately discussed the development of the economy in the city and region. According to the head of the region, a number of enterprises remained and operate in the region.
“Someone is opening a small and medium-sized business that has been idle for a while. We have some businesses. Despite this situation, there are orders from abroad. Grocery supermarkets open. We are doing everything to launch economic processes in the Kharkiv region,” said Oleg Sinegubov.
According to him, now some enterprises are looking for workers because many Kharkiv residents left and vacated jobs.. For such enterprises, the issue of updating the conditions for business operation is acute..
“Under the Regional State Administration, the coordinating council for business and economics was resumed. There is a hotline for entrepreneurs to seek the necessary assistance to resume work. For us now, the main thing is the creation of new jobs and the preservation of those that were,"
The head of the region also noted the importance of timely holding a sowing campaign on enemy-free territories.. The region plans to sow crops necessary for the population from 60 to 80 percent of the total area of \u200b\u200barable land.
“It is no secret that there are certain problems with fertilizers, fuel for farmers. We are solving this and today we have created all the conditions for the sowing campaign,” said Oleg Sinegubov.
However, the sowing area must also be safe, so the farmers work with the military, determine those fields where it is possible to carry out work relatively safely.. After all, the Russians also carried out remote mining of fields through artillery. Farmers should pay attention to this.
