Oh boy... yes they can. If those people want to leave and what will happen to them afterwards is another question but at least Russia has the decency to get them away from a potential battlefield.

The reports I’ve seen are that those ‘evacuations’ aren’t voluntary, and that is more in line with Russia’s MO. They bear more resemblance to forced deportations and ethnic cleansing. Given Russia continually uses its missiles to hit civilian targets its a hard sell to say its doing this out of the goodness of its heart.
