This was announced at an online briefing by Dmytro Petlin, head of the Department of Civil Protection, Mobilization, and Defense of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

"In Kostiantynivka, the number of people remaining has not changed much. There are 2,800 people in the community, and 2,700 in the city itself. There are isolated cases of evacuation, because people are being taken out on foot, if possible... They leave on bicycles, and sometimes they are helped. An elderly woman was taken away on a wheelbarrow. But, of course, there is no mass evacuation there," Petlin said.
