Late in the evening of 31 October, Russian invaders carried out an air strike on Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region. The attack destroyed the executive committee building.
This was reportedon Facebook by Oleksandr Goncharenko, head of the Kramatorsk City Military Administration, according to Censor.NET.
Strike on the city centre
The official noted that this building was an important part of Kramatorsk’s history.
"An hour ago, Russia destroyed the central building of Ukrainian statehood in Kramatorsk with an air strike. Peace Square, the Executive Committee. One may have different views on officials and administrators, but this is where our freedom and identity lie," he wrote.
The building’s historical significance
Goncharenko recalled that the building survived the Russian occupation in 2014, as well as the assaults and events surrounding the liberation of Kramatorsk.
"This place held history, the spirit of engineering, revolutions, the life of the city and its plans. It is the foundation of Ukrainian Kramatorsk. They can destroy the building, burn our land and steal our memories. But they cannot destroy our right to a future," he wrote.
