Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said that the evacuated residents from areas around the arsenals in Balaklia, Kharkiv region, must have 3,000 places reserved for them in other towns.

Appropriate posts were set up, from which they can move to another territory, posts were set up where they can stay for a brief period. Currently the task is for at least 3,000 places to be reserved at hotels and other places, where possible, so that people could stay short-term,” Groysman told journalists in Kharkiv region.

His press secretary Dmytro Stoliarchuk wrote on Twitter that Groysman had visited an assembly point in Husarivka, where Balaklia evacuees have been accommodated. Already 1,400 accommodation places have been created there, the spokesman said.
