A new decision on the mandatory evacuation of the population has been introduced in the Kharkiv region, affecting residents of the Bohodukhiv district. This was reported by the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration (RMA), Oleksiy Synegubov, in his Telegram channel. The decision concerns four settlements of the Zolochiv territorial hromada, where strict security measures have been introduced due to the escalation of the situation on the front line.
Who is subject to mandatory evacuation
According to Oleksiy Synegubov, families with children living in the villages of Kalynove, Chernohlazivka, and Karasivka are subject to mandatory evacuation. Another settlement, not named in the initial report, is also included in the list. In total, 142 people are being relocated, including 6 children and one person with limited mobility. This decision is dictated by the need to ensure the safety of citizens amid constant Russian shelling of border territories.
Evacuation organization and population support
The head of the RMA emphasized that all evacuees will receive full accompaniment and comprehensive assistance at transit centers. This includes not only logistics but also temporary accommodation and social support. Synegubov urged residents of the relevant settlements to respond promptly to the call and leave dangerous areas to avoid possible casualties and destruction.
Contradictory data
At the same time, there are discrepancies in details between various sources. For example, RBK-Ukraine reports on mandatory evacuation from 16 settlements in the Synelnykove district of the Dnipropetrovsk region, which may indicate a wider scale of the operation than initially stated. Additionally, in the Kherson region, the list of villages for mandatory evacuation has also been expanded, including Krasnopilske and Charyvne of the Borozna hromada. This data requires additional verification and clarification, as it may affect the overall picture of evacuation measures in the country.
Context and previous events
Previously, in August 2026, a step-by-step guide was developed in Ukraine for residents of frontline and border regions planning evacuation. The document explains the evacuation route in four steps and aims to simplify the process for citizens. This indicates a systematic approach to organizing evacuation and the authorities' desire to minimize risks for the population.
Public and expert reaction
The decision on mandatory evacuation has caused a wide resonance in society. Experts note that such measures are necessary to preserve the lives of citizens, but emphasize the importance of ensuring quality support and informing the population. Public organizations are calling on the authorities to be as transparent as possible regarding evacuation and to provide full information about further steps.
