On August 5, the city announced the forced evacuation of families with children.
According to the MBA representative, the authorities, with the help of the police and rescuers, are trying to evacuate families with children as quickly as possible.
If the family does not evacuate on their own, we organize transportation to the evacuation points in Pokrovsk using the transport available in the community. But some people even hide their children from us. We try to find them
