In the morning it became known that people on the Russian-controlled left bank of the Dnieper are still  trapped in the attics  and upper floors of their houses. Someone is trying to evacuate on their own, someone is waiting.

President Zelenskyy stated that the evacuation on the left bank  was completely failed by the occupiers.  Therefore, Ukraine will turn to international organizations on this matter.
