Sinegubov: "Prepared for worsening conditions" – what's happening in the Kharkiv region?

Oleg Sinegubov spoke about how they will act in case of a possible deterioration of the situation in frontline settlements of the region during a national marathon broadcast.

“We are prepared for a worsening situation. We can quickly organize both evacuation measures, and we understand how it was in the northern part of our territory this spring – when thousands of people evacuated simultaneously. Of course, we have reserved accommodation places, and our international partners have created corresponding reserves to provide support and assistance. Additionally, our volunteer organizations are united in a coordination headquarters under the regional military administration, comprising over 250 such organizations,” Sinegubov stated.

He also reminded that evacuation is currently ongoing from 344 settlements in the Kharkiv region. However, despite the threat of shelling, people remain even in the most dangerous areas of the region.

“For instance, on the left bank of the Oskil, in the city of Kupiansk – fortunately, there are no children left, but 133 adults still remain. Unfortunately, they refuse to evacuate. These enhanced measures involve the local authorities, local administration, national police, and volunteer organizations working around the clock to organize evacuations and inform the population about the necessity to leave. This is because the enemy is, firstly, targeting civilian residential buildings and infrastructure, and secondly, we can no longer maintain heating, electricity, or water supply there, as the infrastructure is destroyed and cannot be restored. The enemy is again targeting repair crews specifically. Therefore, the only option in that direction is to move to safer territories. Especially since everything is provided for that,” emphasized the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.
