Ukrainian officials have urged the remaining residents in
the Donetsk region to evacuate to safer areas.
This is because Russian forces are advancing closer to the
eastern territories.
“Russia has turned the entire Donetsk region into a hot spot
where it is dangerous to remain for civilians.
“I call on everyone to evacuate. Evacuation saves lives,”
the head of the Donetsk regional military administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko said,
as reported by CNN
The warning followed a missile strike in Toretsk on Wednesday.
Although Ukrainian forces still have the control of 45
percent of Donetsk, the Russians have shifted their focus on Kramatorsk and
Sloviansk, after taking over Lysychansk in the neighboring Luhansk region.
Most people have already left the city over the renewed and
increased strikes according to the head of the Sloviansk military-civilian
administration, Vadym Liakh.
