Oleksandr was in Donetsk oblast at the time. He says the apartment burned down completely.

“One room burned down completely, the second one suffered very badly from heat, smoke, and water. My mother is in the burn center intensive care unit and is still unconscious, the doctors are making every effort, but they say that the situation is difficult.

"The apartment is unlivable, but leaving it in this state is also impossible, because it will create problems for other residents of the building.
