Russian attacks on the Donetsk region
Every day, the Russians open fire on the cities and villages of the Donetsk region. Frontline settlements in the region, and even those located in the relative rear, are constantly under attack. That is why people are urged to evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine.
On August 5, during the Coordination Headquarters meeting, a decision was made to expand the mandatory evacuation of children in the Donetsk region to an additional nine settlements.
