The measures affect a number of settlements where the threat to safety due to hostilities persists. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from the regional administration. ### New evacuation rules According to an official order coordinated by the government Coordination Headquarters, mandatory departure will affect certain streets of Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, and Bilenke. Additionally, the territories of the settlements of Pryvolia and Malotaranivka are fully covered. "This is a difficult but necessary decision. Our main task is to protect the lives of children," the authorities' statement emphasizes. ### Organization of the process Evacuation will be conducted exclusively with the accompaniment of parents, persons replacing them, or legal representatives. Local military administrations, police, rescuers, and social services have been involved in organizing the departure. Residents will be accompanied at all stages โ€” from the actual departure to arrival at the reception point and placement in safer regions of Ukraine. ### Call to action Parents are urged not to delay their departure and not to expose children to danger. Authorities emphasize that every minute of delay could cost a life. ### Situation in other regions Recall that the authorities of the Kharkiv region have also expanded the list of settlements for mandatory evacuation, including the Zolochiv direction โ€” more than 7,000 people need to be in safer places for residence. In addition, due to constant shelling and the threat to life, mandatory evacuation has been declared in one of the districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region. There, local residents must leave within a month.
