Lahuta's Quote: "The local population, on foot and by means of vehicles, in the amount of 2,100 people (Vysokopillia, Arkhanhelske, Kniazivka) has evacuated independently in the direction of the Dnipropetrovsk region."

Details: The Russian occupiers are not agreeing to provide an official "green corridor" for the evacuation of the population. Residents complain that in recent days more units of occupiers who are trying to conduct an offensive on Kniazivka have arrived in the villages. The Russian invaders fired upon Mala Shesternya from "Grad" missile launchers. 

There is no gas, water or electricity supply in any part of the Vysokopilska territorial community.

Reference : Vysokopillia and Kniazivka are located near Zelenodolsk in the Kryvyi Rih direction.

Background:

• On the morning of May 6, Russian occupiers fired upon the outskirts of Kryvyi Rih from "Grad" missile launchers. 

According to the head of the military administration of Kryvyi Rih Oleksandr Vilkul, Russian troops are located fifty kilometres from the city on the administrative border between the Kherson and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
