Forced Evacuation Zone for Children in Kramatorsk Expanded to Include 130 Streets

Expansion of Mandatory Child Evacuation in Kramatorsk

According to Рубрика — Суспільство: The Donetsk region authorities have extended the compulsory evacuation zone for children in specific parts of Kramatorsk, now covering 130 streets and various locations within the city. Children will be evacuated only when accompanied by parents, guardians, or authorized representatives. This operation involves coordination between local military administrations, police forces, emergency responders, and child welfare services.

Kramatorsk lies just over 10 kilometers from the active frontline, emphasizing the urgency of these protective measures. Although it remains possible to leave the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the lack of direct humanitarian corridors has complicated and increased the risks of safe passage. To assist with evacuation logistics, the charitable organization Save Ukraine is actively supporting affected families.

“We are broadening the mandatory forced evacuation zone for children in selected areas of Kramatorsk. Evacuation will occur only with parents, guardians, or legal representatives accompanying the children.”
