Thousands of Ukrainians remain in the war zone.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi called on residents of Donetsk region to evacuate. The hostilities and the inability to provide normal human conditions endanger the lives of Ukrainians.
“Many people refuse to leave… But it really needs to be done. This decision will still have to be made. Anyway! Believe me. And the sooner it will be done, the more people leave Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will have time to kill,” he emphasized during the evening address.
The president also called on Ukrainians to talk to their friends and relatives on Donbas, to convince them to go. If possible, provide assistance to displaced persons.
“There is a government decision on mandatory evacuation from Donetsk region, everything is being organized. Full support, full assistance – both logistical and payments. We only need a decision from the people themselves, who have not yet made it for themselves. Go, we will help,” he concluded.
