Russian strike on Kharkiv damages the offices of "Suspilne. Kharkiv" and "Ukrainian Radio"
The December 30 rocket strike on downtown Kharkiv severely damaged the Radio House, where the offices of "Suspilne. Kharkiv" and Ukrainian Radio are located, Suspilne reports.
The building's heating system was damaged; the windows, the doors, and the walls broke, says "Suspilne. Kharkiv" manager Yevhenia Kolienova.
"We made a room where journalists could work during blackouts, we just finished the renovation, we didn't even have time to furnish it. The glass in the room is broken, the ceiling is damaged. The heating system was damaged – we drained all the water out of the pipes because the batteries were torn out on the second floor. The water was pourin from the second floor to the first," she said.
According to her, staying in the room is now dangerous.
Office managers are recording the damage and passing the data to the police. At the moment of the attack, there was no one in the office except for a security guard, who managed to get to the bomb shelter in time.
