Shebekino residents don't want to return under fire, but the governor believes it's necessary
During a live broadcast, a local resident claimed that authorities were evicting people from temporary accommodation centers, thereby "pushing them to certain death." Vyacheslav Gladkov answeredthat no one is kicking people out, but they need to return to the city, despite the situation.
"[If] you compare the situation now with what it was a month and a half ago, it's completely different. There haven't been any shots fired for several days now, and everything is calm. Does this mean 100% security? Of course not. Let me remind you that many people have died in Belgorod as well. And it's impossible to say Belgorod is 100% safe. As we said before, we will encourage people to return to their homes. Because ensuring the protection of property... You understand, it's impossible to station a police officer at every apartment. Therefore, we need to return home, we need to return to our businesses, we need to bring the city back to life. Abandoning our homes, abandoning the city—I think that's wrong," said the governor of the Belgorod Region.
He emphasized that if the situation worsens, people will be evacuated from Shebekino again.
