Vereshchuk calls on ORDLO residents to enter government-controlled area

She said this at an urgent briefing dedicated to the situation in the area of the Joint Forces Operation, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"I want to tell the people in ORDLO who are now deciding what to do in the temporarily occupied territory: come to us, find a way to cross an entry-exit crossing point. We are waiting for you. We will create all possible conditions for you to have a place to live and what to eat so that you feel that you are not alone," Vereshchuk said.

She also noted that tomorrow in the area of the Joint Forces Operation she and other ministers and MPs will be on the spot ready to solve the problems of people on the frontline and those who decide to leave the temporarily occupied territory.

"We in the Cabinet of Ministers have the approved plans for the respective humanitarian response. We have a representation on the ground, and we understand what is happening and how it is happening. We will provide maximum assistance to people," Vereshchuk said.

Earlier, Russian media reported that "DPR" leader Denis Pushilin and "LPR" leader Leonid Pasechnik called on the residents of the Donetsk and Luhansk to evacuate to Russia's Rostov region due to an alleged offensive being planned by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
