…The enemy attacks chaotically, without targeting specifically logistic routes, industries, or critical infrastructure – employing entirely chaotic strikes with various types of weaponry.

Evacuation from this front, as announced in 27 settlements, is gaining momentum. People understand that the situation is essentially a matter of their survival."

Details: Syniehubov added that over the course of a month, more than 1000 people have been evacuated from this area, including 60 children.
