It is well known that some of the wounded had been taken to Poltava region... Some of the wounded remain... at home or at their relatives’. Tomorrow there will be another humanitarian cargo, including additional ambulances, and this way we will evacuate the wounded to Sumy, as well as to Okhtyrka and nearby settlements, where they can get qualified treatment," said the official.
