President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky urged residents of the Donetsk region to evacuate. The fighting and the inability to ensure normal human conditions endanger the lives of Ukrainians.

“Many refuse to leave… But it really needs to be done. This decision still needs to be made.. Does not matter! Believe me. And the sooner this is done, that more people will leave the Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will have time to kill,” he stressed during an evening address..

The President also urged Ukrainians to talk to friends and relatives in Donbas to convince them to leave.. And, if possible, to help the migrants.

“There is a government decision on mandatory evacuation from the Donetsk region, everything is being organized. Full support, full assistance - both logistics and payments. All you need is a decision from the people themselves, who have not yet made it for themselves.. Leave, we will help,” he concluded..
