The coordinator noted that a mechanism for returning drivers back is currently being developed.

"The evacuation is very simple, he (the driver - ed.) takes any bus or car and moves here. Now it is being decided how to return back. Negotiations are underway with the Border Guard Service on a mechanism for the driver's return,  without the Shlyakh system or through the Shlyakh system," Kozak said.
