Mer Kharkov: No request to evacuate the city

"The evacuation takes place from the area where the fighting continues. These people are going to Kharkiv. The city presently has 1.3 million inhabitants. So far neither we nor the military see any reason to evacuate Kharkiv. This is part of a Russian information and intellectual peculiar operation to intimidate and annoy citizens**" said Terechov referring to speculation about the situation in the city.
