Mandatory evacuation may affect a number of regions, except for Donetsk, said the Minister for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk at a briefing at the national media center "

" But our forecasts and our analysis indicate that it will continue in other regions as well.. We see the situation worsening now. With the arrival of the autumn-winter heating period, it will definitely worsen, and the provision of heat through heating networks will be much more complicated,"

Heating and electricity facilities are likely to be targeted by enemy attacks, says Vereshchuk:

" Some towns and villages, for example, in Zaporozhye, Kherson, Kharkiv regions, may be left without a livelihood, heat, and, most importantly, without light"
