Ukrainian authorities start mandatory evacuation of 300 children from front line region in Kharkiv
Due to dangerous conditions in five communities of the frontline Kupiansk district of the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian authorities announced mandatory evacuation of children.
275 minors and their families from 66 settlements planned to be transported to more reliable places, the Ministry of Reintegration says.
Members of the Coordinate Staff unanimously supported the decision of the Kharkiv authorities on the mandatory evacuation of the population under martial law.
According to the decision, within 45 days, they plan to conduct a free evacuation of 275 children and their families from the seven territorial communities of the Kupiansk district.
The authorities call such a step necessary due to the difficult security situation under martial law, as Russian forces reach all civilians with shelling.
