People’s Deputy from the Servant of the People party Maxim Tkachenko called his assumption a statement about 150 thousand internally displaced persons returning to the occupied territories.
I expressed myself incorrectly, so I want to refute my words. There is no such data. “It was my unfounded and emotional assumption,” he said.
Earlier, in an interview with Ukrinform, the people’s deputy said that their number was 150 thousand, including 70 thousand of them from Mariupol.
The number of internally displaced persons in Ukraine continues to grow, in particular due to enemy advances and forced evacuations from areas of hostilities.
Now we are talking about about 5 million IDPs who were forced to flee from war, from the occupation of the Russian aggressor, forced to leave their homes in search of relative safety and tranquility, said a people’s deputy, member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Human Rights, De-Occupation and reintegration of temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
However, he noted that the figures are approximate, because there are people who subsequently travel abroad or return to the temporarily occupied territories.
According to Tkachenko, the rapid increase in the number of displaced people is caused by the advance of the enemy, the announcement of forced evacuation in the Donetsk region: Kurakhovo, Selidovo, Pokrovsk, in the Kharkov direction – Volchansk, Kupyansk and others.
