Russia continues its terror against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Kharkiv region. Evacuation measures in the Kupiansk area will be intensified, according to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov.

Syniehubov said that there has been a noticeable increase in enemy shelling using various types of weapons.

He added that today, October 14, more than 4,000 residents remain in the Kupiansk community, the majority of whom are elderly.

"It is crucial that everyone understands the necessity of relocating to safer areas. Together, we must help our people," he explained.

The head of the administration also noted that evacuees have been provided with the following:

  • temporary housing reserves;
  • hot meals;
  • food and hygiene kits;
  • warm clothing for those evacuated;
  • support and assistance.

Evacuation in Kupiansk area

As mentioned earlier, amid the intensified shelling, civilians in the Kupiansk district are being evacuated. In mid-August of this year, a mandatory evacuation of children from settlements near the combat zone was announced. At that time, Syniehubov said that the Kharkiv regional authorities could evacuate around 12,000 Ukrainians.
