Details: Filashkin hosted a meeting of Donetsk Oblast’s regional commission for technological and environmental safety and emergencies, with the main topic being the security situation in the Hrodivka and Novohrodivka hromadas.
Quote: “Every day, the enemy bombs the cities and villages of these hromadas, so we decided to forcibly evacuate the children with their parents or other legal representatives from Novohrodivka and the villages of Marynivka, Mykhailivka, Lisivka, as well as Promin, Moskovske, Balahan, Mykolaivka, Myroliubivka, Malynivka, and Novoekonomichne of Hrodivka hromada, and Poltavka of Illinivka hromada.
We chose to evacuate a child from the village of Ostrivske upon the request of the chief of the Kurakhove Military Administration.
In total, 744 children with their families should be evacuated from four hromadas to safer regions of Ukraine.”
Filashkin stated that he had instructed to use only armoured vehicles in the process of evacuating children, since the Russians are actively utilising FPV drones in these areas.
