“Despite the difficult economic situation and martial law in Ukraine, NKMZ will continue to maintain its equipment and workforce and develop projects in the field of research and innovation,” the report states.

Chechetkin emphasized that the opening of stores in front-line cities is part of the company’s social mission.
“If you look at the map of military operations, you will see what distance from Konstantinovka to the front line is. For us, this means a social mission. Basically, we want to be near our customers, to help the locals who are constantly living in the war and also our military. Thus, we open even in the war zone,” the co-founder added to the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
He noted that Rozetka also operates in Mykolaiv and Kherson, which are regularly shelled by Russian occupation troops. In Kherson, the retailer opened on the third day after the de-occupation, but not all the stores that were there before the war are still operating in the city.

According to him, all the wounded have already been delivered to the medical institutions of the region, medical institutions and doctors from other regions of Ukraine are involved in the provision of medical care, depending on the condition of the victims.
“The enemy immediately got fakes that this shelling was carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces. This is another confirmation of incredible cynicism… All evidence and evidence will be provided. what I said, that they (the Russian Federation) will sow panic and hit only the local population,” the head of the OAVA said.
He noted that the arrival of the missile with cluster munitions was designed for manpower. “This is confirmation that this was directed against the civilian population … this is done solely to ensure that people do not leave the territory of the region,” Kirilenko said.
