The president said he had already given the relevant instructions to the ombudsman and had also discussed preparations for the operation with the Security Service of Ukraine and the military.
Russia may try to take people to its territory
Zelenskyy warned that the Russians could use the humanitarian operation to direct the evacuation of people to the territory of the Russian Federation.
Undoubtedly, Russia will do everything to clear the roads in such a way that these people go toward Russia and remain there. They are not going to simply let the people go
At the same time, Ukraine hopes to evacuate at least some of the people to territory under its control.
The main thing is to unblock the people so that they can live. It is desirable that they be able to achieve their goal and evacuate here, to us, to Ukraine, which will provide them with everything and support them
