Russian-installed authorities announce 'evacuation' from east bank of Ukraine's Dnipro river

The Russian-imposed administration in Kakhovka said bedridden or handicapped people would be taken to the Henichesk district to the south-east. “Take care of yourself and those close to you!” it said in a Telegram post, encouraging people to register for the evacuation.A woman who answered the hotline phone said a broad evacuation was taking place from a string of settlements on the left bank of the river, including Oleshky and Nova Kakhovka, the site of a huge hydroelectric dam.

Before giving up Kherson, Russia evacuated tens of thousands of its residents in an operation that Ukraine described as a forced deportation.

In another post on Friday, the Kakhovka Telegram channel published what it said was a message from an unnamed evacuee praising the welcome they had received in the Russian coastal town of Anapa. “Every day we go for walks by the sea,” it said. “We are very happy we came here. They take care of us, help with everything. If anyone is in doubt about whether to go or not - do not hesitate, leave!” REUTERS
