In the village of Mezhevaya in the Synelnykove district, rescuers helped an 89-year-old pensioner who was unable to climb down from a power pole on his own. This was reported by "Vідомо," referencing "Mezhevsky Meridian".

The man explained that he intended to hang a lantern and ascended the pole using special straps, but got stuck and could not descend, prompting him to call for help.

Rescuers brought him down using a three-section extension ladder.

Fortunately, he did not suffer any electric shock.
