Due to the security situation, a decision was made to forcibly evacuate children from populated areas of Donetsk region
In our country, where children’s laughter should resound under a calm, peaceful sky, it is drowned out by the sounds of explosions and sirens. Little destinies, who should live carefree, find themselves at the epicenter of the brutal realities of war. Children who only yesterday ran on green fields and played in the yards of their native villages, today are forced to leave their homes in order to survive. Evacuation is not only the relocation of people from one place to another. It is the gap between ordinary life and an unknown future. These are the tears of parents trying to hide their fears from their children. This is a heart that shrinks from pain and hope for the best.
Due to the aggravation of the security situation, a decision was made to forcibly evacuate children from a number of settlements in Donetsk region. About September 5 reported Ministry of Reintegration.
“Due to the security situation, a decision was made to forcibly evacuate children from some settlements in Donetsk region
This decision was unanimously agreed upon at a meeting of the Coordination Staff on mandatory evacuation of the population under martial law under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.
It is about evacuation from the settlements of Pokrovsky and Kramatorsk districts. In particular, from the villages of Berestka, Vovchenka, Voznesenka, Dachne, Zelenivka, Zorya, Kreminna Balka, Novodmytrivka, Novoselidivka, Sontsivka, Stari Terny, Stepanivka, Suhi Yala, Yantarne, the village of Gostre, as well as from the villages of Illinivka, Berezivka, Berestok, Vodiane Druge, Hnativka, Dovga Balka, Zelene Pole, Kalinovka, Aleksandro-Kalynovka, Popiv Yar, Rozkishne, Rusyn Yar, Stara Mykolaivka, Stepanivka, Tarasivka, Yablunivka”. – reports the ministry.
In order to carry out the evacuation, two reception points for the evacuated children and their accompanying persons were deployed. This process became possible thanks to the joint efforts of local authorities, volunteers and international organizations, which united their efforts to save children. Evacuation is carried out completely free of charge, because the care of each child comes first.
In safe regions, evacuated children and accompanying persons will be provided with free shelter, humanitarian aid, psychological support, etc.

This decision is forced, but necessary to save the most valuable thing – the life and future of children. Each child who leaves for evacuation is a small hope for the recovery of the country after the war. They have the right to a life without war, and that is why evacuation is not the end, but the beginning of a new path to peace.
