Alekhin, an advisor to the head of the Kursk region, has urged the residents of Rylsk to evacuate while it is still possible. He advised people not to wait until the last moment, citing the examples of nearby settlements like Sudzha, Korenevo, and Glushkovo, which have already faced danger.
As of 2023, the population of Rylsk is about 15,000 people. Due to the looming threat over the region, local authorities are trying to prepare the population for potential consequences and warn them of the danger.
The call for evacuation has caused concern among the residents, but it also underscores the seriousness of the situation in the Kursk region. Authorities are urging people not to delay making a decision and to leave the city while it can still be done without significant obstacles.
