The evacuation continues. We have evacuated more than 9 thousand people so far. People are leaving. People are contacting the hotline and making appropriate requests via 102. However, we are now stating the fact that when we offered people to leave Vovchansk and Liptsy yesterday or the day before, people did not want to, but today they are already applying. However, their evacuation is quite complicated because there are street battles in the city of Vovchansk. The village of Liptsy is under constant shelling, and virtually every evacuation is now a risk to life,
