Moreover, the SES got a commission in collaboration with the local water provider to approve schedules and to ensure the delivery of potable and industrial water in all the yards of the town.

Volodymyr Groysman called for the warming station, which was deployed by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. The Prime Minister instructed, if necessary, to deploy additional warming points.
