As a result of Russian shelling in the evening of January 10, residents of the city could see fireworks – the Russian occupiers hit a warehouse with pyrotechnics. A local resident, Oleksandr Pashnev, said that for a long time she could not determine what the Russian troops were shelling Kharkiv with. “At first I thought that they were dropping aerial bombs on parachutes. Then I thought: probably phosphorous or “Grads”. My son flew in and said: “The ammunition is exploding.” In short, they grabbed the grandson – and to the cellar. But then the horror began. The house rises, the grandson cries Everything burns, everything flies, everything explodes,” Oleksandr recalls. Later, Pashnev’s son went outside and told his father that they probably got into a warehouse with fireworks: “The grandson wanted to spend the night in the cellar, I take him out, show the fireworks. He says: “Grandpa, why didn’t you show me earlier?”, then at night jumped up: “Grandpa, are the fireworks still shooting? Tell them to shoot more quietly.” At night, the man says, he couldn’t sleep: “The woman doesn’t drink at my place, but we drank cognac with her, because her sedatives didn’t help.” For the lessor company, the losses from the Russian shelling are large, for sure – they will be able to calculate later, says the company’s executive director, Volodymyr. “361 sq.m. warehouse, the glass flew off, the roof… The warehouse costs more than 400,000 purely for construction materials. How to restore it? The slate was broken, and a sheet of slate costs 500 hryvnias, and how many of those sheets will be needed,” says Volodymyr. They plan to restore the premises, but only after winter.
