Ukrainian designer Andre Tan reported damage to his boutique in Rivne’s Equator mall as a result of a hostile drone attack. Debris from the downed drone caused the shop to sustain damage.
In clips of the battered establishment, the designer shared on his Instagram page. The video shows shattered storefronts, glass fragments, and damaged walls where stylish clothing was once sold.
The designer admitted that Rivne was one of the first cities to believe in his brand. Together with local partners they grew and overcame difficulties.
Today, to see all of this, built for more than 15 years, being destroyed – it hurts unbearably,
— Andre Tan said.
Despite the loss, the team does not give up. The designer emphasized that the most important thing in this situation is the safety of the employees’ lives, and the walls will be rebuilt.
The scariest thing isn’t the ruined walls or the shattered windows. Behind every store are families, dreams, and hopes for tomorrow… We have lost stores before, we poured our souls into them, but we are not broken,
— the designer assured.

It should be noted that earlier Russian occupiers mutilated Andre Tan’s flagship boutiques in Kherson, Kryvyi Rih, and Dnipro.
We add that other Ukrainian businesses are also suffering from enemy terrorist actions. Not long ago, a warehouse of the publishing house Knigolav, whose co-founder is Svetlana Pavelyetska, wife of former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, was destroyed in a Russian shelling.
