EAST SOS Team Supports Dnipro Residents After Russian Drone Attack on May 21
On the morning of May 21, russian forces attacked Dnipro using drones. Two women were injured, and several residential buildings sustained damage.
EAST SOS specialists were on site to assist residents of the affected buildings, providing 25 legal consultations, 11 psychological consultations, and 15 social support consultations.
“This morning, residents of a normally quiet, densely populated neighborhood woke up to a Shahed drone hitting the roof of one building. Many elderly people were very scared. Our team worked together to reassure, guide, and advise on everything the residents needed. This helped them understand what steps to take. The most emotional appeals came from those who had only recently evacuated from frontline areas,” shared EAST SOS psychologist Olha Chukhno.
