Mandatory evacuation continues in Donetsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. This was reported by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Oleksiy Serhieiev during a briefing on the status of evacuation from frontline regions, writes UNN.
Currently, 424 children remain to be evacuated in Donetsk Oblast, 243 in Kharkiv Oblast, 26 in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and 11 in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Specially created police and rescue teams are involved in the evacuation, including 24 National Police "White Angel" groups.
In addition to evacuation, law enforcement officers provide pre-medical care and have transported about a thousand injured and sick citizens to hospitals. The experience of the Donetsk evacuation groups has been extended to other regions.
The activities of evacuation units take place in conditions of increased danger. In the last month alone, six shellings of police evacuation groups have been recorded: five in Donetsk Oblast and one in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
In addition to the "White Angels," 26 rescue and evacuation teams "Phoenix" of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine operate in the combat zone. They are equipped with armored vehicles and special equipment for evacuating civilians from dangerous territories.
