The Donetsk regional military administration in eastern Ukraine is expanding the zone where families with children must be evacuated. The measure applies to all settlements in two territorial communities, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Both belong to the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region.

The administration says the evacuation in these places will be carried out by compulsion. Families with children therefore have no option to stay and must be moved out of the settlements.

What is known

The available report gives only the decision itself and its geographic scope. It does not say how many families or children are affected, what the deadlines are, or where people will be relocated. It also does not state what prompted the decision.

The news is linked to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which continues. Donetsk region is one of the areas where fighting is taking place, so evacuating residents from its settlements is part of the current situation.
