The evacuation requests came from the village of Shandryholove, which is less than 10 kilometers from the front. Police officers evacuated a disabled woman accompanied by her daughter from under fire, and during the evacuation of another seriously ill resident of the village, law enforcement officers persuaded her son to leave.
This was reported by the Police of Donetsk region.
Shandryholove suffers daily from enemy artillery and drone attacks. About 60 people live there now. The police, together with volunteers, help people to leave the danger and settle in more peaceful regions of the country.
This time, the White Angels rescued a 65-year-old local resident and her sick 93-year-old mother. The women's house was damaged by Russian shelling.
"We were patient, waiting for a miracle. We have no more strength to endure," they say.
The police handed over the evacuees to volunteers who brought them to Poltava region. The family took their pets with them - a cat and a dog.
The law enforcement officers also evacuated a 75-year-old woman who uses a walker to get around. While loading her belongings into the armored vehicle, the police persuaded her 51-year-old son to evacuate as well. With the help of volunteers, the family went to Kharkiv region.
The police urge residents of settlements affected by shelling by Russian troops to leave without delay and move to safe regions.
