The mayor of Nikolaev Alexander Senkevich said that the situation in the city is bad due to the constant shelling of the Russians and called on the townspeople to evacuate to a safer area.

" We are shelled daily. A total of 111 people have died so far.. One of them is a child. We also wounded 502 people, including 6 children (as of June 21).

They bombard us almost every day with different types of shells. Approximately 80% of these shells are cluster-type shells. That is, multiple launch rocket systems such as "

I recommend everyone to leave the city. Anyone who wants to stay alive knows when this will all end.. Today, according to our calculations, out of 480,000 residents of Nikolaev who were before the war, about 230,000 remain in the city,"

The mayor also recommends that people not return to Nikolaev until the Ukrainian defenders have pushed the enemy further into Kherson or even Crimea.

According to him, they are shooting at Nikolaev from the Kherson region, so it is impossible to launch a siren in advance due to the small distance between the cities.

Siren often turns on after projectiles explode.

Nikolaev is also being fired upon with high-precision missiles.. They were used when shooting at military facilities and the regional state administration.

In addition, there is a problem with drinking water in the city.. The city's economy is worth. Big businesses don't work. Medium - 90% do not work.
