We need to use very large forces, and the security situation does not allow us to do so. No one will risk people's lives
According to him, about 1700 people remain in those settlements on the left bank. There are no children among them. The remaining people are mostly elderly, who for various reasons refuse to evacuate despite the constant shelling. However, they may change their minds if the intensity of the attacks increases.
Regarding the situation in Dvorichanska community, where about 900 people remain, the local authorities are informing residents about the possibility of evacuation and are ready to assist in organizing the departure.
The situation in these areas remains difficult, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to maintain control over the territory.
