The Kyiv City State Administration denied the information about the alleged preparation of the capital for mandatory evacuation, which was actively disseminated in recent days by the media. This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration with reference to the director of the Department of Municipal Security Roman Tkachuk.

According to the head of the department of the Kyiv City State Administration, while we are not talking about evacuation from Kyiv or from its individual districts. According to Tkachuk, the media simply misunderstood him and “in the pursuit of hype, they decided to scare the people of Kiev”.

“Yes, there are evacuation commissions in every district, they were created a long time ago, in case of completely different emergencies - from floods to accidents at critical infrastructure facilities.. And we do periodically conduct training, discuss various options, including mandatory evacuation. This is exactly what I had in mind, but the media, unfortunately, in pursuit of hype, decided to scare the inhabitants of Kyiv,” said Roman Tkachuk.

The head of the department also turned to journalists and asked them to check the information and not create a panic..

“We ask journalists and bloggers to be responsible, not to play into the hands of the enemy and not to create panic from scratch.

Check information for clarification. We are always in touch. Remember that the deliberate distortion of information and the spread of fakes in wartime can lead to catastrophic consequences,” Roman Tkachuk added..

The Kyiv City State Administration, in turn, urged the people of Kiev to be vigilant and trust only official and verified information..
