The Ukrainian authorities have decided on the mandatory evacuation of children from certain settlements in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, where the situation remains dangerous. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine.

A meeting of the Coordination Headquarters for evacuation measures and response to mass displacement of the population was held. The event was chaired by Deputy Head of the Ministry of Development Oleksiy Riabykin.
The agency noted that the evacuation will be carried out together with parents, persons replacing them, or other legal representatives.
