The Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine calls on Ukrainians to temporarily leave the territories of occupied Crimea, according to a statement made by Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.

"I once again urge Ukrainians to leave Crimea if possible. Wait for the de-occupation of the peninsula," stated Vereshchuk.

She notes that to ensure their safety, people can move away from the danger to territories under Ukrainian control or to third countries.
