As Russian bombing intensifies on the Kharkiv region in eastern Ukraine, families with children are being evacuated in several districts, for the second time after November 2023.
Due to the intensification of shelling in the Kharkiv region, the forced evacuation of families with children was extended to 18 villages of the Velykoburluksk and Vilkhuvatka communities of the Kupiansk region. This decision was taken by the Regional Defense Council on March 7.
This is the second forced evacuation of families with children in the Kharkiv region. As of November 2023, 300 children had already been evacuated, along with at least one adult parent, in five communities in the Kupiansk district, on the left bank of the Oskol River.
This Friday, a mandatory evacuation was announced in 57 localities in the communities of Velykoburluksk, Vilkhuvatka, Kindrashivka and Kurylivsk.
