Lhe war in Ukraine is raging in the east of the country. This Saturday, July 30, President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the population of the Donetsk region, which is in eastern Ukraine, to evacuate in order to escape “Russian terror”. The cities of the region are daily targeted by Russian bombardments. “A government decision has been taken on the mandatory evacuation of the Donetsk region,” said the Ukrainian President. “Please evacuate,” he added in a video address.
“At this stage of the war, terror is Russia’s main weapon,” he said, as Russian strikes on towns in the region claim civilian casualties almost every day. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk had previously announced the mandatory evacuation for the entire population of the Donetsk region, one of the two administrative regions of the Donbass basin, which remains partly under the control of kyiv. She had justified this decision, in declarations on television, by the destruction of the gas networks and the absence of heating next winter in the region.
