“We are starting the mandatory forced evacuation of families with children from the city of Bilozerske, the villages of Blahodat, Bokove, Vesele Pole, Vesna, Myrove, Novovodiane of the Bilozerske community; and from the settlement of Sviatohorivka, the villages of Viktorivka, Berivka, Kopani, Novoviktorivka, Novoukrainka, and Stepy of the Dobropillia community”, - said the head of Donetsk OMA Vadym Filashkin on the afternoon of August 13.
According to him, there are currently approximately 1,150 children in these settlements.
“I have instructed local authorities, heads of structural divisions of the OMA, in coordination with law enforcement, to organize the evacuation of families with these children as quickly as possible and to ensure proper living conditions in a safer territory of Ukraine”, - noted the head of the oblast.
“I once again emphasize: staying in the territory of the Donetsk oblast carries constant danger. Evacuate while it is still possible! Take care of your loved ones and do not put them in danger!” - Filashkin urged.
