MOSCOW, February 26. /TASS/. Ukrainian troops have intensified shelling attacks on settlements in the Russia-controlled part of the Kharkov Region, head of the region’s military-civilian administration Vitaly Ganchev said.

"Shelling attacks on villages in the Kharkov Region have intensified. The settlements of Olshana, Vtoroy Liman, Tavolzhanka, Veliky Vyselok, and Tokarevka are under permanent fire of Ukrainian militants. Two single-family houses were damaged as a result of shelling in the village of Tavolzhanka in the Kupyansk district. Luckily, no one was hurt," he wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to Ganchev, non-stop shelling complicates deliveries of coal and fuelwood to the population. "But we are trying to adhere to the schedule. The bakery is operating routinely. We are sparing no effort to normalize life," he noted.
