"The Regional Defence Counsel of Kherson decided to compulsorily evacuate families with children from areas subject to constant enemy fire," governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram.

Russian troops control areas in the Kherson region south of the Dniepr river, following their withdrawal last year from the city of Kherson, the regional capital, which they regularly shell.

Ukrainian officials had already recommended in August that civilians leave a dozen areas in the northeast region of Kharkiv in the face of a Russian offensive, but those evacuations were not mandatory.

Prokudin also said that regional authorities were preparing for an "emergency situation" this autumn and winter over electricity provisions.

In the winter of 2022, Russia carried out a campaign of bombing Ukrainian infrastructure, resulting in regular power cuts.

Obstruction of free movement on the bridge over the Nistru from Gura Bâcului – Bâcioc, to the attention of the Joint Control Commission

A consensus was not reached on signing the weekly report on the situation in the Security Zone, at the meeting of the Joint Control Commission, held on Thursday, November 28 in Bender. The refusal of the Transnistrian delegation to include in the document information about Tiraspol’s actions aimed at fortifying the illegal post in the town of Bâcioc, in the immediate vicinity of the bridge over the Nistru, led to the blocking of the process.
