The Russian army said Friday it was evacuating "more than 5,000 civilians" from the Kherson region each day, AFP reported.

"Military engineers every day transport up to 1,200 civilian vehicles -- both trucks and cars -- as well as more than 5,000 civilians to the left bank of the Dnipro river," Russia's defense ministry said in a statement.

Ukraine has accused Russia of carrying out Soviet-like "deportations" of its people.

Russia denied these accusations.
