From the DPR and LPR, evacuation began. So far, a little more than ten thousand people left
See how they get to the Rostov region
After the leaders of the self-proclaimed “republics” of Donbass announced the evacuation of local residents due to the threat of war, the first buses with people went to the evacuation of the “republics” of Donbass. The DPR authorities said that they plan to send up to 700 thousand people to Russia (primarily children, women and elderly citizens), but so far, according to state Russian media, a little more than 10 thousand people crossed the border. Nevertheless, according to the Medusa correspondent at the scene, some refugee reception points have already been crowded.
