Quote: "Out of 375 houses that were flooded, all 375 are no longer flooded. The State Emergency Service is working on drainage; there are additional pumps, so the situation is stable. Furthermore, the two bridges that went underwater, which the Konotop Road Repair Regiment is building with the help of UNITED24 [the Ukrainian government-run platform launched to raise money for supporting Ukraine during the Russian invasion – ed.] (one wooden and one concrete), have survived and are now open for traffic...

I think the situation will be sorted out soon; the water has receded. We still have 50 centimetres of water in [the settlement of] Snihurivka, but this is already below the critical point. We can say that Mykolaiv Oblast is no longer flooded at all."

Details: The situation is more complicated in Kherson Oblast, where, according to the Internal Ministry, as of the morning of 19 June, 22 settlements remain flooded: five on the right bank part of Kherson Oblast and 17 on the temporarily occupied territory.
