In Donetsk Oblast, the forced evacuation of families with children from frontline settlements in the Dobropillia and Kryvyi Rih communities has begun. The reason for this is the escalation of the situation in the region — the enemy is actively using drones and guided aerial bombs (KABs), striking cities and towns, as well as transport infrastructure, in particular the road to Kramatorsk.
Families with children from Dobropillia, Hannivka, Novyi Donbas, Rubizhne, as well as the villages of Dobropillia, Nadiia, Novokryvorizhzhia, Novomariivka, Novofedorivka and Raksha are subject to evacuation. A total of approximately 928 children are currently in these settlements.

The decision on mandatory resettlement was made by the regional commission on technological and environmental safety and emergencies. The authorities urge people not to delay, as the situation in the region is extremely dangerous and it is unacceptable for children to remain in the risk zone.
Local administrations, together with law enforcement agencies, must organise the transport of families to safer regions of Ukraine as quickly as possible and provide them with adequate living conditions.
Evacuation remains the only way to save the lives of civilians, as Russian troops continue to ignore international humanitarian law and strike even densely populated areas.
