All children evacuated from five settlements in Donetsk region

This was reported by the head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin. 

The head of the regional administration noted that the mandatory evacuation from the Donetsk region continues. According to him, this week all children have been evacuated from five settlements of the Marinka community. These are Antonivka, Illinka, Zoriane, Oleksandropil, and Zhelanne Druhe. 

Currently, 16 more children remain in the Toretsk community, and 2 more - in the Ocheretyne community.

"People are suffering and dying from shelling almost every day. Staying in the entire Donetsk region is extremely dangerous, so I once again urge people to evacuate from Donetsk region to safer cities in our country," he added. 

• In March 2023, the Ukrainian government approved a mechanism for the forced evacuation of children accompanied by a parent or other legal representative from active hostilities.
