Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the Mikolaiv region on Saturday, on the war front with the Russian Army in the south of the country, in one of his first departures from the capital since the start of the war last February.
Zelenski discussed with local authorities the problems of repairing infrastructure damaged by the conflict, such as the water supply network, according to a statement from the Ukrainian presidency.
He also discussed other logistical issues, such as difficulties with this year's harvest, the availability of grain storage centers, the creation of new transportation routes, and the supply of machinery and fuel to farmers.
On the other hand, the military authorities of the region informed him about the threats by land, in particular from the next Moldovan separatist region of Transnistria, and by sea in the Black Sea.
The president also inspected the Mikoláiv regional administration building, hit on March 29 by a Russian missile that left 37 civilians dead, according to local authorities.
"It is important to decide now how to help the members of these families, we must not forget them," Zelensky said of relatives of those killed in the attack.
Two weeks ago, the Ukrainian president left kyiv for the first time since the start of the war for a trip to Kharkov, in the northeast of the country, and since then he has also gone to the Zaporizhia region, on the southern front.
Mikoláiv, just 100 kilometers from occupied Kherson and on the route to the strategic port city of Odessa, has been the target of Russian attacks since the beginning of the invasion, the last of which left two dead and twenty wounded this Friday. .
