He noted that this line of work continues in full swing as the police and emergency services drive armored vehicles toward the front line to take people out of the most dangerous areas.
Filashkin recalled that due to the deterioration of the situation in Donetsk region, a decision was made to strengthen the curfew in the 10-kilometer zone, which includes 172 settlements. Now it lasts from 17:00 to 9:00.
