Obriyi Iziumshchyny (Kharkiv oblast) chief editor Kostyantyn Hryhorenko told the Institute of Mass Information’s regional representative Yulia Napolska that the building that used to host their office is yet to be repaired after the 2022 air strike.
Hryhorenko said that Russian troops had struck central Izium in early March 2022, damaging the office building: 11 windows and two doors were broken, and the roof was damaged.
The office was looted after the strike: about 10 thousand dollars worth of equipment was stolen. Hryhorenko added that Russian soldiers had lived in the building while the city was occupied.
Konstantin Hryhorenko said that the team had repeatedly boarded up the broken windows themselves, which had been broken again twice, and had also installed an awning over the roof.
The building where the office was located is a local historical monument which Obriyi Iziumshchyny has rented for 20 years.
