DIRECT. War in Ukraine: residents encouraged to move from Kherson during winter

Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk called on Kherson residents to evacuate during the winter period to safer parts of the country. “Government offers free evacuation to Kryvyi Rih, Mykolaiv and Odessa with possible further movement to Kirovohrad, Khmelnytskyi or western regions of Ukraine,” she wrote on her Telegram channel. For the Minister, this appeal mainly concerns women with children, the elderly, the sick and representatives of groups with reduced mobility. “Displaced people will receive free accommodation in shelters, humanitarian aid, food and medical support.”
