A mandatory forcible evacuation of families with children is being launched from the city of Bilozerske, the villages of Blahodat, Bokove, Vesele Pole, Vesna, Myrove, and Novovodyane in the Bilozerske community, as well as from the settlement of Svyahorivka, the villages of Viktorivka, Virivka, Kopani, Novoviktorivka, Novoukrainka, and Stepy in the Dobropillia community.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Regional Commission on Technogenic and Environmental Safety and Emergency Situations of Donetsk region.
Currently, there are an estimated 1,150 children in these settlements.
"I have instructed the local authorities and heads of the structural divisions of the Regional State Administration, in coordination with law enforcement, to organize the evacuation of families with these children as quickly as possible and to ensure proper living conditions in a safer part of Ukraine.
Once again, I emphasize: staying in Donetsk region poses a constant danger.
Evacuate while it is still possible! Protect your loved ones and do not put them at risk!" — stressed Vadym Filashkin.
