"Yesterday evening, the occupiers announced the termination of evacuation,” said Khlan. “Going by river is now forbidden to civilians – in the aftermath of our artillery attack on their crossing.”

According to him, the artillery strike destroyed pontoons and boats near the Antonivka Road Bridge; they were used to transport Russian military equipment and personnel across the Dnipro River.

“All the collaborators are fleeing, only those are left who are waiting for the Ukrainian forces," Khlan said.
