The Russian military left the territory of the Borodianka psycho-neurological boarding school, Head of Kyiv Regional State Administration Oleksiy Kuleba has said.

"The special unit, which entered this school at about 13:00, has now released people, left the premises, but they did not leave the territory of the settlement," Kuleba said on Ukrainian TV channels.

Earlier on Saturday, Kuleba admitted that the Borodianka psycho-neurological boarding school had been captured by Russian troops, who were firing artillery from there at the positions of the Ukrainian army.

"Information came from Borodianka that today a unit of Kadyrov's people has entered the territory of the local psycho-neurological boarding school! They mined all the approaches to the boarding school and now they are firing artillery at the positions of the Ukrainian army from there," Kuleba wrote earlier on the Telegram channel.
