Approximately 130,000 people, including just over 7,000 children, remain in the parts of the Donetsk region under Ukrainian government control.
The progress of the evacuation was discussed during a regular briefing at the Donetsk Regional State Administration with representatives of the Department of Civil Protection, Mobilization and Defense Work, the Children's Services Department, and the Department of Social Protection.
Since the end of February 2022, nearly 1.4 million people have evacuated from the Donetsk region, including 210,800 children. Since the beginning of July 2026, another 1,700 people, including approximately 330 children, have been evacuated from the region.
According to Dmytro Petlin, Head of the Operational Duty Service, Communications, Public Alert, and Information Division of the Department of Civil Protection, Mobilization and Defense Work, approximately 13,600 people remain in communities officially designated as active combat zones.
According to Yuliia Ryzhakova, Head of the Children's Services Department, 7,147 children remain in the Donetsk region. Within the active combat zone, three children remain in the city of Mykolaivka.
In communities where mandatory evacuation of children with their parents or legal guardians has been ordered, 270 children from 230 families remain. These families are located in five settlements across three territorial communities.
There have been no cases of children being evacuated without their parents or legal guardians. During the previous week, 67 children from 59 families were evacuated, including 24 children from 24 families in Kramatorsk and 42 children from 35 families in designated areas of Sloviansk.
During June, a total of 357 children from 230 families were evacuated:
5 children from 4 families from Druzhkivka;
1 child from the Andriivka community;
182 children from 106 families from the Kramatorsk community;
169 children from 119 families from designated areas of the Sloviansk community.
Since the beginning of July, 123 evacuees have been provided with free accommodation, according to Dmytro Pozharskyi, Acting Director of the Department of Social Protection.
People have been accommodated in the Zakarpattia, Lviv, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kirovohrad, Cherkasy, Ternopil, Rivne, Zhytomyr, and Odesa regions.
Of the 123 evacuees, 65 were people with limited mobility. Among them, 40 people were referred to medical institutions under the government's pilot program for long-term nursing care. After receiving medical care, these individuals will be assisted by social workers in relocating to specialized geriatric care facilities across Ukraine.
"I encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity for free centralized accommodation. To do so, please contact your local military administration. A mechanism is being implemented to provide free transportation to transit centers as well as financial assistance," Dmytro Pozharskyi emphasized at the conclusion of the briefing.
