Haidai's quote: "Evacuate to safe regions of Ukraine. Do not allow the Russians to forcibly take you anywhere, without documents and any [regard for] human rights."
Details: The head of the region said that on 25 April there will be another attempt to evacuate local residents from Lysychansk, Sievierodonetsk, Hirske, Popasna and Rubizhne. Meeting places are unchanged. Evacuation is completely free.
He reminded residents that the current situation in Popasna and Rubizhne is very difficult. All settlements of the Hirske Municipal Community are under heavy and almost continuous shelling. Most people's homes have been completely destroyed.
Haidai emphasised that every time an evacuationis organised from these settlements it is "an event full of heroism of some people."
"But we will not stop until we have saved everyone who has this wish. We will take risks, we will lose vehicles. However, we will return to our compatriots again and again," the head of the region said.
