According to the head of Sumy Regional Military Administration, more than 2,800 people live in these settlements today, including 367 children. Evacuation teams go around households, communicate with residents, explain the details, and help with preparations for departure.
The decision to leave home is not easy, but necessary. The constant threat to life from the enemy does not allow delay.
