In the northern part of the Kharkov region — Kharkov and Bogodukhovsky districts — authorities are considering a forced evacuation of some of the population as Russia intensifies its attacks on the region.
The head of the Kharkov regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov, spoke about this on air at the national telethon.
— In the border part of the region, where shelling occurs regularly, according to our information from the National Police, there are no more children — they have been taken out. In the future, we will make decisions about settlements that are remote from the Russian Federation, since the enemy has now begun to strike even where there were no attacks a month ago, — he indicated.
Today, strengthening the defense of the region and the construction of fortifications remains a priority for the Kharkov OVA.
