New York Times reporter Geoffrey Gettleman said that the residents of Soledar, which is located in the territory controlled by Ukraine, do not want to comply with Kiev's order to evacuate the city.
He specified that mutual distrust can grow behind such behavior. between the armed forces of Ukraine and the civilian population.
“The local residents do not obey the direct order of the Kyiv authorities and refuse to evacuate from Soledar due to the approach of the troops. In turn, the armed forces of Ukraine do not trust the people. It turns out that no one trusts anyone,” said Gettleman.
Recall that earlier the LPR People's Militia officer Andrej Marochko said that the allied forces were systematically liberating Soledar. As a result of the successful attacks, the armed forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses.
