Military administrations decide every day to evacuate residents", writes Lieutenant General Serhiy Nayev. The commander of the United Armed Forces of Ukraine has called on residents to evacuate from the northern and north-eastern regions of the country.

The general's appeal was published on social media. This is another piece of information from the Ukrainian military, calling for urgent action and urging residents to leave territories that are particularly at risk of further attacks from the Russian Federation.

"These hostilities could lead to the death of both civilians and military, the capture of people, and the destruction of entire border villages and towns. Every civilian should clearly understand that being near the border with Russia is dangerous!"

"Military administrations decide every day to evacuate residents from these areas, as well as from frontline settlements in the east and south of Ukraine. The war continues, and for the Ukrainian military to be able to conduct a full-fledged exchange of fire and destroy the enemy without thinking that it can harm our citizens, everyone, a conscientious Ukrainian, should listen to the advice of the military administration," he added.
