Head of Zaporizhzhia RMA urges residents of occupied territory to evacuate
Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration Ivan Fedorov has appealed to residents of the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region, urging them to evacuate.
As Censor.NET reports, this was stated in his Telegram post.
Call for evacuation from the occupied territories
Fedorov said Russian troops had long used Melitopol, Berdiansk, Enerhodar, and Henichesk as a deep rear area and logistics hub to support their forces.
He noted that the occupiers used the territories of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions to deploy military infrastructure, command posts, depots, and supply routes.
"The enemy has considered Melitopol, Berdiansk, Enerhodar, and Henichesk its deep rear area for too long. For too long, it has used the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as a logistics hub to support its troops. For too long, it has convinced people that the occupation is forever. Today, the situation is changing. Ukraine’s Defense Forces are systematically striking the occupiers’ military infrastructure, their command posts, depots, and supply routes," he said.
Fedorov stressed that the more the occupiers use the temporarily occupied territories for military purposes, the greater the risks for civilians.
"That is why I urge everyone who has such an opportunity not to postpone the decision to leave. The most valuable thing every person has is life," he said.
