The Russian Ministry of Education completed the organized evacuation of children from the international children's center 'Artek' in Crimea due to a temporary suspension of the summer health camp program. Children were sent home or to health camps in Krasnodar Krai. The evacuation was initiated after the Crimean authorities suspended all organized children's recreational activities from June 22 to September 1, 2026, citing security concerns and fuel shortages.
