While Russian soldiers remain in total control of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region’s Borivs’kyi district, the Borova village council announced on Telegram on Sunday that Moscow’s troops are “gradually moving” from the area toward the Donetsk region.

“There is no cell connection and no Internet,” it added, adding that “certain localities are left without electricity and gas.”

Russian forces are reportedly lodged in village council buildings, the Palace of Culture, hospitals, and even residents’ houses, according to the statement. Local collaborators were chosen as “occupying authorities” in the region, and they will now manage administrative activities in the community.

According to the council, several areas of the community were severely damaged, and it has been unable to contact the nearby psychoneurological boarding school, which housed roughly 200 patients.

The council has been unable to identify the persons who were carried to the hospital from the bus that was attacked by Russian soldiers on Friday due to a lack of contact.

The council stated that the problem of delivering pharmaceuticals to a hospital in Borova village, including anaesthesia, as well as humanitarian relief to the community in the form of food, hygiene products, and basic requirements, is urgent.

According to the statement, appeals have been sent to Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, who is also the Minister for Reintegration of Ukraine’s Temporarily Occupied Territories, and Oleh Synegubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, to organise humanitarian corridors for evacuation and delivery of aid in the area.
