For the sixth day in a row, the evacuation of residents continues from the border settlements of the Okhtyrka district of the Sumy region. Russia increased its shelling.

What is known about the evacuation from the Sumy region?

The National Police of Ukraine stated even those who did not plan to leave their native places were going after the systematic airstrikes of the Russians. Locals say that it is no longer possible to stay here. The enemy is prowling everywhere; it is difficult to find buildings that survived the raids of the occupiers.

Law enforcement officers call on residents of settlements that are constantly under Russian shelling to leave for safer places. You can contact line 102 for assistance in evacuation.
