On October 14, unknown persons reported “mining” of various objects in Ukraine, including the ministry, city councils and educational institutions.
The National Police confirmed information about reports of mining in various regions in a comment to journalists. Such reports are known in the capital, Uzhgorod, Sumy, Poltava, Odessa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytsky and other cities.
“The National Police of Ukraine has been dealing with such messages for several years now, and has developed a corresponding response algorithm and such events. It is possible that the enemy is trying to destabilize the situation in the regions of our country in this way, and therefore uses information and psychological special operations for this purpose. The police have enough forces and resources to check each object,” the police reported.

The European Parliament's Trade Committee has approved support for financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of about 35 billion euros at the expense of frozen Russian assets.
“The Trade Committee voted by 31 votes in favour, 4 against and none abstaining on the Commission's proposal to support Ukraine with an exceptional macro-financial assistance loan of up to €35 billion. This is the EU's contribution to the G7 initiative to support Ukraine by providing around €45 billion to meet Ukraine's urgent financial needs in the face of Russia's brutal war of aggression,” the European Parliament said in a statement.
The statement stresses that payments on this macro-financial loan, like other loans from the G7, will be made from emergency proceeds from the blocked assets of the Russian Central Bank and will be coordinated through the Ukraine Credit Cooperation Mechanism, recently created at the proposal of the European Commission.
