Klymenko added that rescue workers had maintained voice contact with the man for over three hours.

“They had difficulty reaching the man: emergency workers broke a hole in the wall of the neighbouring flat and created a sort of tunnel. Special braces were placed on the man so as not to harm him during the rescue,” the minister explained.
