The mayor thanked the Armed Forces of Ukraine and law enforcement officers for the liberation of the city.
At the same time, he stressed that the residents of the city are still not allowed to return to the cities, as it is dangerous.
"We are gaining a foothold on our borders, on new ones, and we will continue to go and liberate Bucha, Hostomel, Vorzel. We understand that there will be more attacks on our city, we will protect it. Irpin is Ukraine," he summed up.
