It is better for residents of Kherson to evacuate for the winter to safer regions of Ukraine.

this especially applies to vulnerable categories of citizens: women with children, the elderly, the sick and people with reduced mobility.

Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk informed about this.

The government offers free evacuation to Kryvyi Rih, Mykolaiv and Odesa, with possible further relocation to Kirovohrad Region, Khmelnytskyi Region or to the western regions of Ukraine.

Vereshchuk promises that IDPs from Kherson will be provided with free accommodation in shelters, humanitarian aid, food, and medical support.

Assistance will also be provided in the preparation of an IDP certificate and appropriate financial assistance from the state and international organizations.

Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the President's Office, explained that Kherson has now become a front-line city.

In addition, the occupiers destroyed the entire energy infrastructure there.
