i never saw anybody been against migration of population out of war zone to safety.

I can't think of any comparable historical example of declaring a people's entire territory a war zone and migrating a substantial/majority of the entire population out. Can you? The reality is they'd be unlikely to ever be able/allowed to return, and as such the actual purpose of such a project would be ethnically cleansing the territory.

entire territory is a war zone. there is no need to declare anything

and you essentially you prefer population to suffer hardships of war in order to "safekeep" territory and "prevent ethnic cleansing".

My guess is that many people wouldn't want to leave, but helping some people to leave also helps those who stay: fewer mouths to feed, less work for very strained medical facilities, and so on.
