“Four months ago, there were more than 30,000 people, and now 15,000 remain in the city of Kostiantynivka,” Filashkin said.
At the same time, he added that people are leaving the city very slowly, although local authorities are doing everything possible to evacuate residents from the dangerous city.
“We are currently working on this to get as many people out of the city as possible. Unfortunately, people are leaving very, very slowly,” Filashkin added.
