US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited Irpin. He inspected the residential quarters of the city destroyed by the Russians. According to Mayor of Irpin Oleksandr Markushyn, the guest “was amazed by what he saw and noted that no photo accurately conveys the horror that our city actually experienced.”
Dmytro Negresha, head of the executive committee of the Irpin city council, told Anthony Blinken about the Irpen restoration fund created this summer. The American high-ranking official got acquainted with the presentation of all the objects of the city damaged during the hostilities. Dmytro Negresha spoke about Irpin’s cooperation with international partners and twin cities, including the American ones – Milwaukee and Miami.
“Mr. Blinken highly appreciated the work of our management team in the direction of rebuilding Irpin and promised that America will continue to help the Ukrainian people,” said Oleksandr Markushyn.
We will remind you that the presentation of the Irpin Reconstruction Fund took place on August 9, 2022, in the Irpin Central Cultural Centre destroyed by the occupiers.
