The authorities order the evacuation of families of a dozen localities of the Donetsk Oblast

“We start the forced evacuations of families with children of the city of Dobropillia” And nine villages in the Donetsk region, in the East, very close to the front line, announced on Telegram its governor, Vadym Filachkin, who said that“About 928 children are currently in these localities”.

Nearly 1,380 civilians are also found in the city of Pokrovsk, an important logistics center for the Ukrainian army located in the same Oblast, said Filachkine, Wednesday on Ukrainian national television, reports the Kyiv IndependentTHURSDAY.

“This represents a large number of people”he said, while Tuesday, 487 people had already been evacuated from surrounding localities, very close to the front line. Mr. Filashkine continued by claiming that the situation in the region is increasingly difficult, while the Russian forces intensify their offensive, adding that“It is almost impossible to send humanitarian aid or drinking water under current conditions”.

The Governor of the Oblast added that almost all Pokrovsk stores have closed because the Russian army bombes the road access to the city and controls the territory with drones. “It is only thanks to the support of the army that humanitarian aid can reach the population. The movement of volunteers no longer goes to Pokrovsk ”he said.

Russia has intensified its attacks in the Pokrovsk sector in recent weeks when it has been trying to break into the neighboring oblast of Dnipropetrovsk. At the end of June, the commander -in -chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, Oleksandr Syrsky, reported that Russia had gathered 111,000 soldiers near the city.
