Donetsk Region Expands Evacuation Zone for Families with Children

We are expanding the zone of mandatory evacuation for families with children – now it covers all populated settlements of the Kramatorsk and Slaviansk municipal communities, – said Vadim Filashkin, head of the Donetsk regional military administration.

Consensus

The mandatory evacuation zone for families with children has been expanded to cover all populated areas in Kramatorsk and Slavyansk districts.
The decision was made due to deteriorating security conditions caused by daily Russian attacks on residential neighborhoods, civilian transport, and places where people gather.
Leaving children in these areas is described as an unjustifiable risk.
Residents are urged to evacuate immediately and not wait for an attack near their homes.
Specialized groups from police and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine are involved in the evacuation process.
Evacuees will be assisted in relocating to safer regions of Ukraine.
The expansion follows a previous partial expansion earlier in October.
