The Russian army damaged more than seven thousand residential buildings in the Chernihiv region, destroying more than one and a half thousand, leaving people homeless. After the abolition of Israel, the residents spent their savings, borrowed money and received help from benefactors to rebuild their homes.
After that, for some of them, attempts to rebuild their housing became the reason for the refusal of compensation under the state program "eRecovery".
Sospilani's investigative editors found out why the owners of the destroyed houses are forced to sue, how the local authorities explained their decisions and whether the state provided a procedure so that people do not lose their right to compensation.
