About 3,000 residents remain in Bakhmut, 33 children among them

Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of Donetsk Regional Military Administration, informs about this.

"There are less than 3,000 people left in Bakhmut, those who refuse to evacuate. According to our statistics, there are 33 children remaining," he says.

Kyrylenko emphasized that the evacuation continues not only in Bakhmut, but also along the entire front line.

"For example, in Avdiivka, where there are less than 1,500 people, seven days ago there were 42 children, now there are 13. Again, these are people who refuse to evacuate," Kyrylenko emphasized.  

He said that the evacuation of children and their parents is ongoing in the Donetsk region.
