This was announced on TV by the spokeswoman for the State Emergency Service, Svitlana Vodolaga.
We don't know how many people were under the rubble yet, so we'll continue to search until we're completely sure there's no one under the rubble. We're currently working on the third floor. Because we need to be sure there are no people on the second and first floors.
