"A compulsory evacuation of civilians from Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and other frontline settlements is necessary to save their lives
The enemy is pushing towards Sloviansk and Kramatorsk – these are strategic targets of the Russian occupiers’ offensive. Every day, bombs, rockets and hundreds of drones strike the cities. The Russians are hunting down anyone and everyone, including vehicles," the post reads.
According to Butusov, civilians are very often killed, so it is necessary to carry out evacuations and deliver food and water to elderly people and families with children who cannot look after themselves.
"People who cannot survive on their own without outside help, including minors, must be evacuated as a matter of priority.
I have witnessed the deaths of many civilians in various cities; I have seen people trying to save themselves when it is already too late, only to perish under Russian shelling.
I hope that a responsible leader will step forward who will make every effort to rescue civilians from the combat zone," he concluded.
