"The first train arrived in Kropyvnytskyi this morning. Women, children, elderly people, many people with reduced mobility. Everyone was met and accommodated, everyone was helped," she wrote.

Vereshchuk thanked local services, international organizations and volunteers, as well as personally the head of the Kirovohrad region, Andriy Raikovych, and his team.

The evacuation of those living in unoccupied areas of the Donetsk region is expected to last until the beginning of the heating season.
