Russia’s Belgorod region bordering Ukraine offered to move some residents from its capital to safety on Friday, after Kyiv’s forces pounded the city with intense bouts of shelling.
The offer came a day after overnight shelling wounded at least two people and knocked out glass from high-rise buildings, prompting panic among residents.
“I see several appeals on social media where people write: We are scared, help us get to a safe place,” Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said in a video message.
“Of course we will. We have already moved several families,” he added.
The Ukrainian Army shelled Belgorod, Shebekinsky and Graivoronsky municipalities and territories of three districts in the Belgorod Region, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on his Telegram channel.
