Up to 200 pele evacuated daily from Kharkiv’s Kupiansk community

This is according to Chief of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, eh Syniehubov, as reported by Ukrinform.

"The situation is extremely difficult, so we are intensifying evacuation measures in that direction. Every day, 100 to 200 pele are leaving," he stated.

Syniehubov noted that residents are more actively leaving the left bank of the Oskil River, which runs through the city, as damaged infrastructure in this area can no longer be restored, nor can utilities be provided.
