Nine evacuation routes for civilians to leave besieged Ukrainian cities have been agreed for Thursday, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said in a Telegram post.
She said four routes have been established to Zaporizhzhia by private transport.
- Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia
- Berdiansk to Zaporizhzhia
- Tokmak to Zaporizhzhia
- Energodar to Zaporizhzhia
In the Luhansk region, five routes will be operational:
- Severodonetsk to Bakhmut
- Lysychansk to Bakhmut
- Popasna to Bakhmut
- Rubizhne to Bakhmut
- Hirske to Bakhmut
Vereshchuk said there were no evacuation routes on Wednesday. “In Zaporizhzhia region, the occupiers blocked evacuation buses, and in Luhansk region, they are violating the ceasefire,” she said.
