The Defense Council of Kharkiv region will consider the advisability of a general evacuation of the population from Borova, while mandatory evacuation of families with children has been declared in the village, Head of the regional military administration Oleh Synehubov said.

"We are planning to evacuate 134 children with their families," Synehubov said on the air of Yedyni Novyny (United News).

He recalled that a general evacuation of the population has already been declared in Kupiansk. According to him, this is due to the fact that due to constant shelling in the city it is impossible to provide heat.

Synehubov said 300 people have already left Kupiansk, and more than 3,500 residents are still in the city.
