Details:In the photo, he and his colleague Inna Zhelnyk are lying in hospital beds. Pavlo has scratches on his face.

"These photos are probably a little different from what you are used to seeing on my account, but that’s that. We are alive, and that is the main thing. As for the rest, it’ll get better, it’ll heal," wrote the press officer.

The State Emergency Service employee said that phones, cameras and bulletproof vests of his colleague Inna were left at the site of the Russian attack, so they will have to restore their mobile numbers.
