SUMY:

Sumy Region News, 3 March

After an aviation attack by the Russian forces in the town of Okhtyrka, the heating power plant and the railway station are destroyed. At the power plant, two dead bodies were found. One woman was rescued from under the ruins and hospitalized.

In Sumy, as a result of aviabombarding by the Russian forces, the heating and electric power plants are damaged - the fire started. Emergency services are working. No electricity in most parts of the city.

Near Moskovsky Bobryk, Ukrainian artillery forces destroyed a Russian tank convoy. Locals witnessed an artillery strike by the Ukrainians when the Russian convoy left the village. The information about the death of the Head was not confirmed.

In Sumy, the police arrested a man with illegal arms. Also a local precinct received a man and a woman that stayed outside after the curfew. At the moment, they are being checked regarding the cases of looting.

The Sumy State University informed that their foreign students have access to provision and are not requiring any humanitarian help.

Indeed.

[InYaMooey]

Thanks..

We think Electric and WiFi back but no contact yet

[InYaMooey]

Mrs Mooey has spoken, Mothers bday today so extra pleased

Unfortunately only WiFi and electric back on no water or heating

Thanks to HappyMidget for starting the thread on my behalf when mention in the main thread.

Hopefully I won’t need to post for our benefit in the future and that if anyone else does need help they can find it in here and have the support/pms I have.

We have family in Kyiv and Dnep if we can provide any help ..


(Mods, how about a sticky so it doesn’t get lost? Hopefully won’t be needed for too long)

Great news.

[geeks]

Great that she was able to get through InYaMooey. Comms still ok since?

[InYaMooey]

Thank you Ben

Update: Sill in regular contact, she has lost Electricity occasionally, as well as heating (that won’t be great over the the next few days forecast )

Thankfully Mrs Mooeys brother (older) has managed to leave Kyiv for Poland but with Mum less able she is staying in Sumy so all we can do is hope for the best atm …

Thanks you all

I fly out to Poland tomorrow, followed by coach ride to Lviv to visit my wife's family, my wife and daughter went out last week. They too are having electricity supply problems, but at least they aren't being shelled. I hope your mother stays safe InYaMooey. I don't know if I can be of any help while I'm out there, but if you think of something, drop me a line. I'm also delivering a hexacopter drone to my brother in law who is on rotation from the eastern front, hopefully they can use it better than the chap who donated it.

Thanks Shar, I have heard that InYaMooey’s mother eventually got out.
