On May 13, they plan to evacuate all residents from the city of Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast, which was on the front line due to the offensive of Russian troops.
About this in ether Radio Svoboda (“Freedom.Ranok”) was informed by the head of the Vovchan city military administration, Tamaz Gambarashvili.
According to him, as of Sunday evening, another 250 people who want to evacuate contacted the hotline.
“At 10 o’clock in the evening, there were 250 applications received by our hotline from people who want to leave. But it was only for the evening. In the morning, the number is now being clarified. The first brigades have already gone around the city to evacuate people. I think that within a day we will be able to evacuate the entire population“, – noted Gambarashvili.
He added that the evacuation is taking place under heavy fire from Russian troops. People are taken to Kharkiv. Gambarashvili assured that there are places for their accommodation.
“We cooperate with the humanitarian coordination center. We coordinate everything, record everyone. There are dormitories, there are places where people can be accommodated. But, as practice shows, 80% of all people then leave independently to relatives, acquaintances or to their home, which is located in another territory of the region. That’s why about 20% stay in hostels, but no one stayed on the street“, – emphasized the head of the military administration.
