Evacuation in Kharkiv Oblast: Almost 3,000 Residents Left Frontline Kupiansk District Denys Glushko - 30 September 2023

1,091 residents, including 226 children, were evacuated from Kupiansk district. 2,000 people also left on their own, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, said on ICTV.

“The day before, we evacuated the last five people from the village of Synkivka, where the front line actually lies. In addition, we are recording the facts of families with children returning to the settlements. So we are explaining to them that it is dangerous to do so. So the evacuation continues,” the governor added. The official added that the Kupyansk and Lyman directions remain a priority for Russian troops.

The front line in the Kupyansk and Lyman directions is among the key issues. The current state of affairs is somewhat quieter there, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces caused heavy losses to the Russians. However, the Russian army gathers forces and does not give up its intentions.
