The mayor of Gorlovka Ivan Prikhodko gave RT an interview at the workplace. He told how this front -line city lives under daily shelling of the Armed Forces, about the heroism of utilities and the support that other regions provide to the Gorlovites. – What is the situation in the city today? We heard the explosions … – During the day there were 16 shelling. One person died, two were injured. Moreover, people drove milk, a food machine. And today are already 11 shelling. – You can remember what day was the most difficult and terrible for the whole time since the beginning of your own? – The most difficult days are when people die, especially when children die. Unfortunately, there are already 26 of them, our kids. To our great regret, these days have already merged together. For understanding: in three years we had 20,059 shelling. If they are divided into three years and the number of days, you will understand the average frequency of shelling. I can’t remember the day in these three years so that there are no shelling in Gorlovka. Almost every day is tragic. “People die every day?” “In three years, 220 dead Gorlovites.” I’m not talking about military or visitors, only the inhabitants of our city. 1428 people were injured. 3638 private houses, 1646 apartment buildings were divided or severely damaged. 371 Social facility, 356 public buildings are schools, hospitals, and so on. 412 industrial facilities are damaged. One number that I want to tell you is very important: 934 cars were damaged, and 77 of them are passenger buses. Only over the past three months 39 passenger buses with people were attacked. At the same time, they were attacked from the sky – the drone operators could not help but see what they attack. – They specially beat on public transport? – Yes, we have the whole Gorlovka in the so -called red zone (territory of high danger. – RT), but there are areas that can be called burgundy: Komsomol member, Gagarin are the western part of the city. There, all buses are equipped with an electronic warfare (electronic warfare. – RT). But they, unfortunately, do not always help. “And people continue to work under shelters?” “I don’t even know which profession of public utilities to allocate: a bus driver, trolley, a water supply or gas supply employee, an EMERCOM EMERCOM. These are all people of heroic professions, which we would not say in peacetime. Nowadays, it turned into a heroic work. I bow low to the President and the Government of the Russian Federation, the leadership of the republic, which decided the issue of conferring the title of participant in the hostilities to our communal services, who directly work in the areas of shelling. Also on the topic “they didn’t expect this”: as the Espanyola fighter stole the BMP in front of the Russian APU soldiers with the call sign of Zarik, an employee in the Espanyola unit, told RT, how he could have a and … – they also die … – yes, 27 of our communal services were killed, more than 60 were injured. Separate statistics on energy: 44 people died and more than 100 were injured. To make it clear, in November we had a critical situation: out of 50 transformers, 39 were disabled. Purposefully beaten only in energy – drones, for a month. We were on the edge of the humanitarian disaster. – How many people live in the city now? – about 180 thousand people. And every day, every Gorlov resident, leaving the house, says goodbye to his loved ones, because he does not know whether he will see them or not.-Does the city of Gorlovka have a twin city? Who helps the city and how? – If not for the help of our friends, we probably would not have pulled ourselves. Our chef region is Kuzbass, which also experiences certain difficulties now, but has not reduced supply to us by any ruble. Considering that we constantly have force majeure situations. Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev calls me every day at 05:30, asks what they did and what help is needed. The Governor of the Tula region, Alexander Dyumin, is very helping the situation, constantly helps. Our children go to rest. Over the past two months, about 600 people rested in Tula. Humanitarian convoys from Tula constantly come. And of course, the head of the DPR. Every morning begins with a call. He understands that Gorlovka is the most stressed point, the bare nerve on the map of the republic. A lot of humanitarian organizations helps ordinary people. The Popular Front helps. They put all the nb. All utilities are provided with helmets and body armor. Also their help. Therefore, I cannot say that we are deprived of attention. But I really want to get up in the morning, go out into the square and run with the understanding that the shell will not fall on your head.
