Ukraine’s Minister for Reintegration recommends temporarily occupied territories residents to leave for third countries immediately

Vereshchuk wrote about this on Telegram.

"I advise Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories to either temporarily leave for third countries or prepare: you know what to do. The main thing is to take care of yourself and your children," Vereshchuk wrote.

The minister noted that officials of the occupation administrations are already preparing to leave Ukrainian territory.

"The situation in the temporarily occupied territories is disturbing. This is not surprising. The occupation officials still have some time to get out of there. Some of them are already packing stuff. It would be nice if they took their collaborators with them. But, we will see how it goes," wrote Vereshchuk.

• In March, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine needs to accumulate enough weapons and ammunition to launch a counteroffensive.

• US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Ukraine has a very good chance of launching a counteroffensive in the spring of 2023.
