The authorities of the Kharkov region announced the forced evacuation of residents from 47 settlements

In the Kharkov region, a forced evacuation of families with children from 47 settlements has been announced. The decision was announced today by the head of the local administration Oleg Sinegubov.

The message says that the order will affect the villages of Kharkov, Bogodukhovsky and Izyum districts closest to the border with Russia. This decision does not yet affect the city of Kharkov itself.




– says Sinegubov’s message.

According to official data, the decision is due to the fact that active offensive actions from Russia are expected in the near future. However, it is possible that in this way the authorities are freeing the houses of local residents to accommodate Ukrainian Armed Forces militants.

In addition, Ukrainian soldiers are afraid of proximity to pro-Russian residents. Let us remind you that one of the commanders of the 3rd assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said this week that the population of front-line cities treats military personnel poorly and can provide information about their locations to the Russian side. Also, for safety reasons, Ukrainian soldiers are prohibited from accepting food from local residents for fear of cases of intentional poisoning of personnel.
