On October 14, the Rivne region welcomed the eighteenth evacuation train of the year. It carried people from the Donetsk and Kherson regions. All evacuees were accommodated in communities in the Dubno District.
Six residents of the Kherson region and 33 residents of the Donetsk region arrived in the Rivne region on the “Dnipro–Rivne” train. Among the Donetsk residents were 9 children; the group also brought three dogs and two cats with them.
People were transported from transit centers to the Dnipro train station thanks to the support of the charitable organizations “Coordination Humanitarian Center” and “SaveUkraine.”
In Rivne, the Rivne Regional State Administration and the NGO “Integration Center” met and accommodated people from the frontline.
“Behind every number are people who, because of the war, are forced to leave their homes and start a new life in a different place.
