The issue of supplying goods and medicines is being resolved.

“Step by step, a normal, peaceful life will be established in Nikolayevka. The recovery period is always difficult and takes time. Therefore, now our task is to provide people with everything necessary for this period to pass as painless as possible. We are talking about food, hygiene products, medicines, fuel and lubricants,” said Daria Morozova.

She also visited those who still, fearing the resumption of shelling by Ukrainian militants, remain in shelters. The Ombudsman answered questions, accepted the first appeals, left her contacts. Representatives of the community responsible for receiving and distributing aid were selected.

My representatives are in round-the-clock communication with the residents of Nikolaevka, who will be provided with all the necessary assistance in full,” summed up the Human Rights Ombudsman in the DPR.
