The majority avoids the so-called evacuations from the Russians, which lead to actual imprisonment on the territory of the Russian Federation. People use alternative methods of leaving the temporarily occupied territories,” the Center of National Resistance said in a statement.

Residents of the temporarily occupied territories are urged to leave the occupied cities to those controlled by Ukraine if possible. In times of peace and war, we stay together, because that is the only way we are stronger.
