The State Emergency Service rescued several people from burning buildings.

Trolleybuses, the overhead power grid, and utility and industrial facilities were damaged.

Emergency efforts are underway to eliminate the consequences of the brutal attack and restore the gas, electricity, and water supplies.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
