Disaster in Kherson region: we save everyone on the right bank and develop a plan to help people on the left - Igor Klymenko
This was stated by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine on the Rada TV channel within the framework of the All-Ukrainian TV Marathon “United News”.
At the moment, measures for the evacuation of the population continue in the Kherson region. Our rescuers, police and volunteers have already evacuated 1894 citizens.
“The evacuation will be until sunset and from the very morning we will continue it. Currently, 30 settlements remain in the flood zone. 20 of them are in the controlled territory and 10 in the temporarily occupied territory. And I want to say that really on the left bank of the Dnieper, the occupiers do not evacuate people at all. They left them for naught. Therefore, we have now turned to international organizations and are developing a plan to save our people,” said Igor Klymenko.
The Minister stressed that rescuers will come in time to help all people who will need help.
“All the people we are evacuating are provided with food and water. This is now the first problem. But the leadership of the Military-Civil Administration and the Headquarters for the elimination of the consequences of a man-made disaster have done everything to ensure that no person needs drinking water and has no problems with movement,” he said.
Also Igor Klymenko reported that at the moment 8 evacuation points have been deployed. All of our people are in a safe place and getting help there.
