Collaborators pack their bags and prepare for evacuation - Berdiansk District Council 

Deputy Chairman of the Berdiansk District Council Viktor Dudukalov said that collaborators in the temporarily occupied territories are preparing for evacuation amid news of a counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"We have information that panic has begun among the collaborators. All their statements about 'no panic' are no longer relevant. So, just in case, collaborators are starting to pack their bags and prepare for evacuation. Some of them are already buying cars to escape from Ukrainian justice. Collaborators are starting to take their property and family members out of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine," said Dudukalov.

The deputy head of Berdiansk district council added that the collaborators are already moving to the territory of the Russian Federation

"The collaborators are trying to take their families to the territory of Russia and the occupied Crimea. Each of them is already planning their future in Russia. They realize that de-occupation of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine is inevitable. We hope that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will de-occupy Ukrainian territories as soon as possible," he added.
