The zone for the mandatory forced evacuation of families with children is being expanded in the Donetsk oblast

“We are expanding the zone for the mandatory forced evacuation of families with children — it now covers all settlements in the Kramatorsk and Sloviansk communities”, - the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration Head Vadym Filashkin reported on Telegram on the afternoon of October 22.

“The security situation is constantly deteriorating. russians attack Kramatorsk and Sloviansk daily, striking residential neighborhoods, civilian transport and places where people gather. Staying there with children is an unjustifiable risk. I appeal to parents: do not put your children in danger and do not wait until a russian strike hits near your home. Evacuate now”, - the head of the Donetsk oblast emphasized.

Filashkin noted that specialized police and State Emergency Service teams are involved in the evacuation, and upon arrival at the transit center, families will receive assistance with further relocation to safer regions of Ukraine.

“Children’s lives are an absolute priority”, - the head of the Oblast Military Administration emphasized once again.
