Fact-checking stories in partnership with Facebook
Social networks spread information that Ukrainian military allegedly do not allow residents of Kramatorsk, Konstiantynivka, Slovyansk, and Druzhkivka to leave these cities.
However, this is unfounded.
There is no information from reliable sources that would confirm that locals are not allowed to leave Kramatorsk, Kostiantynivka, Slovyansk, and Druzhkivka. In addition, Ukrzaliznytsia arranges evacuation trains daily to help these cities’ residents travel to safer areas. For instance, on March 28, there were two evacuation trains Kramatorsk- Lviv: No.282/281 and No.284/283.
Ukrzaliznytsia’s website has train schedules at the Slovyansk and Kramatorsk stations. There is no list of trains departing from Druzhkivka and Kostiantynivka stations. The stations in Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, and Kostiantynivka are open.
