On July 28, Deputy Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration Oleksandr Shevchenko paid a working visit to the transit point established by the Donetsk RSA to coordinate the evacuation of residents from the region. He personally inspected the operations of the center and spoke with its staff and representatives of international organizations.
This transit point functions as a complex support and rescue mechanism, resulting from the joint efforts of central authorities, charitable and international organizations, and communities of Donetsk region. Its establishment and continuous operation make it possible to provide comprehensive support and accompaniment for internally displaced persons until a safe shelter is found for them in calmer regions of Ukraine.
Since the beginning of its operation in September 2024, the transit point has served 15,000 people. Accommodation was provided for 3,062 individuals, including 587 children and 454 people with limited mobility, all of whom were successfully relocated to safe areas. In July 2025, due to a significant deterioration in the security situation in Donetsk region, the number of visitors sharply increased — more than 2,000 people used the center’s services. The transit point receives 150 to 300 people daily, operates around the clock, and document processing for evacuees continues until late at night.
The transit point provides a wide range of services:
✅ Processing of financial aid
✅ Provision of humanitarian, psychological, and medical assistance
✅ Transportation to a new place of residence
✅ Assistance with necessary documentation
✅ Hot meals
During his visit, Oleksandr Shevchenko also met with representatives of Doctors Without Borders, who plan to organize a mobile clinic based at the center, which will significantly expand access to medical care for evacuees.
The Donetsk Regional State Administration continues to make every effort to ensure the safety and support of its citizens who have been forced to flee their homes due to military aggression.
