Moscow Mayor To Residents: Avoid Unnecessary Travel

Deutsche Welle reports:

Moscow’s Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has issued a statement telling residents in the capital to avoid unnecessary travel and also declared that Monday would not be a working day for most people — except for core services, security services, the military and so forth.

“In order to minimize risks, I, within the framework of the operational headquarters, decided to declare Monday a non-working day,” Sobyanin said on the Telegram website. He urged residents to refrain from unnecessary travel around the city.

These steps come as Wagner troops reportedly entered the Lipetsk region some 300 kilometers south of Moscow, as they move rapidly north along the M4 highway towards the capital.
