> Vitaly Ganchev, head of the Kharkov Military-Civil Administration, says about 50 people have been evacuated from the region since the start of 2026, from several areas. He says the administration has not declared a mass evacuation, unlike the Ukrainian army, which he accuses of forcibly removing residents to house mercenaries.
