KYIV, April 12 – Head of Kyiv regional military administration Oleksandr Pavliuk recommends residents of the region not rush to return to the de-occupied settlements of Kyiv region, since work is actively being carried out in the region to eliminate the consequences of the presence of Russian occupiers in it.

"We do not recommend that people return to the de-occupied areas at the moment, because, first of all, this is a mine hazard that was left by the occupiers. This includes unexploded ordnance, minefields, mine traps. We are constantly working on this," Pavliuk said on the national telethon on Tuesday.
