Vadym Filashkin, head of the military administration for Donetsk, urged evacuation, saying, 'Leaving is the only smart option,' amidst deteriorating conditions and ongoing Russian offensives.
As Russian troops advance within five miles of the city, Ukrainian officials reinforce evacuations, with local residents relying on wells for water as the city faces grave challenges.
Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that despite Ukraine's attempts to divert forces with an offensive in Kursk, they are facing counterattacks amid recent losses in several villages.
