The kind-hearted urged residents to evacuate.
Earlier, Politico reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen from the Pokrovsky direction complained about the deterioration of the situation on their frontline after the start of the Kursk operation, in particular, the supply of shells.
"I would say that the situation in our sector of the front has deteriorated. We are getting even less ammunition than before, and the Russians are advancing," said Ivan Sekach from the 110th Mechanized Brigade.
