According to him, the enemy shells the evacuation road even more and uses FPV drones. There are currently three groups of volunteers helping people leave the city.

Barabash added that food products are supplied to the city, and there are enough reserves. Clean water is delivered only to critical infrastructure facilities and the volunteer center, but it is not yet possible to provide it to local residents. People use water from wells because there is no other option.
