Vereshchuk asks residents of Donbass and Lugansk region to evacuate/telegrams from Irina Vereshchuk

Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk called on residents of Donetsk and Luhansk regions to evacuate immediately, if possible. Then it may be too late.

You don't have to wait for the fighting to “approach” your city. You should leave as soon as possible so as not to become victims of the atrocities of the Russian army, as was the case in the Kiev region.

This applies to residents of the Lugansk, Donetsk and Kharkov regions, where hostilities may escalate.

If possible, evacuate

Irina Vereshchuk insists that this should be done now, while there is an opportunity to evacuate calmly and in an organized manner. But if hostilities begin, there will be problems with leaving.

We need this now, because then people will be under fire and the threat of death. They (heads of the local OVA – Channel 24) will not be able to do anything against it and we will not be able to help. Because it will be almost impossible to stop the fire. We need to evacuate while we can. While it is still there, – said Irina Vereshchuk.

She also added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine expelled the Russian army from the Kiev and Chernihiv regions. No need to believe in fairy tales about voluntary removal, as propagandists say about it.
