[Regnum] Units of the Russian Armed Forces, as they advance into Volchansk in the Khar'kov region, are helping local residents who remained in the city, despite Kyiv's forced evacuation, to leave for Russian territory.The head of the military-civil administration (MCA) of the region, Vitaly Ganchev, announced this on May 18 on the Rutube channel “Soloviev Live”. “There are civilians left there, many are actually in basements, because there are active battles taking place on the territory of Volchansk itself and in the suburbs. Our fighters are actively advancing... finding civilians and helping them evacuate if necessary,” Ganchev said. The head of the Khar'kov Military Civil Aviation noted that civilians in the Khar'kov region are being evacuated preferentially to the Belgorod region, where a temporary accommodation center has already been opened. In addition, a working group has been created to provide assistance to residents of the region. As reported by Regnum news agency, earlier the head of the so-called Khar'kov regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov, said that almost 10 thousand people were evacuated from the border areas, including Chuguevsky, Kharkovsky and Bogodukhovsky. On May 17, official representative of the Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov said that the Russian Armed Forces liberated 12 settlements in the Khar'kov region from Ukrainian troops within a week. On Sunday, the department informed about the liberation of the village of Staritsa in the Volchansk city community. |
