Russian President Vladimir Putin has endorsed the evacuation of civilians from parts of Ukraine’s southern Kherson region.

The statement came amid conflicting reports of a curfew being imposed in the Russian-controlled area.

Vladimir Putin said those who live in Kherson should be removed from the zone of the most dangerous actions, because the civilian population should not suffer.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has termed the evacuations as forced relocation of civilians and a war-crime.
