Already 11 thousand people were evacuated from the de-occupied Kherson. This was announced by Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk, specifying that 7 thousand Kherson residents took advantage of free state evacuation, another 4 thousand left on their own. People are forced to leave due to humanitarian problems and constant danger.

Irina Vereshchuk urged other Kherson residents to take the opportunity to evacuate until the city is safe again.

“Unfortunately, constant shelling prevents the normal life of the regional center from being fully restored,” she said.. - Therefore, I want to appeal to people in the temporarily occupied territories. Think about it: until recently, the enemy called Kherson his own, held pseudo-referendums, cited sky-high " Now look what Russia is doing with Kherson today. Therefore, if possible, please do everything to evacuate from the temporarily occupied territories.”.

She assured that all evacuees will be provided with cache support, shelter and food.. They will be able to feel the warmth of the communities that will welcome them..

According to her, now in the de-occupied Kherson, people are more in need of demining the territory and resuming the supply of electricity..

“We have been working on these issues since the summer. In safe regions, there will be a place not only for Kherson residents, but also for residents of Kharkiv region, Donetsk region and other settlements that are being vacated. Together we will successfully survive the winter,” concluded Irina Vereshchuk.

Recall that Russian troops daily strike at Kherson from the left bank of the Dnieper. A 32-year-old paramedic and a 70-year-old man, who had apparently come for help, died as a result of the shelling of the city center on December 15. A day earlier, the Russians shelled the Dneprovsky district - then two people were killed, including an eight-year-old boy.
