Serviceman Taras Bilka drove around Zaporizhzhia to verify rumors about panic and alleged mass evacuation. In his report, he noted that there are no signs of chaotic evacuation drills or a mass exodus of residents. He stresses that panic narratives are promoted by people who have no real connection to Zaporizhzhia.
Bilka criticized so-called experts and certain media who irresponsibly spread unverified information, causing panic. According to him, talk of "adequate terror" and evacuation drills only demoralizes both military and civilians. He highlights that there is currently no need for mass evacuation, and the city continues its usual life despite shelling.
The serviceman urges the public to trust only verified information and not to give in to panic. Reaction to disinformation and agitation in social networks and media can lead to emotional strain among both civilians and the military, which benefits the enemy.
Bilka adds that current data reflect effective governance and actions by the military administration, including the purchase of drones to enhance regional defense. He advises supporting the military but stresses that evacuation decisions are individual and should be made based on personal circumstances and reliable information.
In conclusion, Taras Bilka thanks viewers for their support and encourages a critical approach to information in the media space.
