AFU control about 40-50% of Toretsk - CMA
Half of Toretsk, Donetsk region, which currently has 1,150 residents, is controlled by the Ukrainian military, and the other half by enemy Russian troops.

"About 40-50 percent of the city is under the control of the AFU, the rest of the territory is captured by the enemy. We are making every effort to evacuate civilians. But this is not a situation where people can be centrally taken out by buses, and they have the opportunity to take valuables and leave for safe places. As of today, there are about 1,150 people who have remained, if they leave, then at most they have documents, and sometimes they don't," he added.
Chinchyk also reported that yesterday it was possible to evacuate seven people from the territory of the Toretsk district.
"The security component allows entering the city and evacuating the population only during certain periods of time when there is calm or there are favorable climatic conditions," he said.
