By the end of August, at least 30,000 places for evacuating citizens, including places for people with limited mobility, will be prepared in 15 regions of Ukraine and in the capital. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko, as conveyed by UNN.
By the end of the month, at least 30,000 places, including those for people with limited mobility, will be prepared in 15 regions and Kyiv. People should move to safe communities.
According to the head of the Government, last week she visited a transit center in Pavlohrad, where about 400–450 people passed through daily, which created a critical load on the infrastructure.
The conditions for people, especially those with limited mobility, were unacceptable. We immediately decided to change the location and deploy additional State Emergency Service tents. Now the transit point has become safer and more comfortable.
To relieve this transit point, two more points were opened in Voloske in Dnipropetrovsk region and Lozova in Kharkiv region.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine noted that receiving regions have been designated for organized evacuation.
"Rivne, Kirovohrad, and Kyiv regions are already receiving people: in particular, Kyiv region has accommodated 170 people with limited mobility, which relieved the centers in Pavlohrad and Dnipro. Zakarpattia is receiving families with children from Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, and Vinnytsia and Poltava are preparing for possible reception," Svyrydenko added.
