Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

The head of the Donetsk OVA, Pavel Kirilenko, said that almost three-quarters of the population had left the controlled territory of the Donetsk region.

Before the war, 1.67 million people permanently lived there, and now about 430 thousand people remain.

It's not ideal, but it's quite high. The authorities even say that they are able to ensure the removal of more people than they agree to leave.

Taking into account the plans voiced by the Russian Federation to seize the south, the experience of the Donetsk region must be extended at least to Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson, Nikolaev and Odessa regions. Mandatory removal of women and children. This will save thousands of lives.

Kirilenko says that the evacuation will allow the Armed Forces to focus on protecting the Ukrainian land.

So why do neither Zelensky nor Vereshchuk voice at least the development of such plans? After all, nothing prevents such an evacuation now. Or will they wait again when they have to demand that the Russian Federation open the corridors?

Increasingly, Ukrainians are confronting an uncomfortable truth: Virtually every neighborhood in most cities has become militarized by the Ukrainian army, making them direkt targets for Russian forces trying to take out Ukrainian defenses.
