The regional administration chief assured residents that they would receive assistance at every stage, from departure to arrival at a reception point and subsequent accommodation in safer regions.

"All decisions are being made with one goal: to prevent further casualties among children," he said.

Filashkin emphasized that the security situation is deteriorating and warned that waiting until danger reaches one's home poses too great a risk, especially when children are involved. He urged parents not to delay evacuation.

As Ukrinform previously reported, Russian forces shelled settlements across the Donetsk region 17 times over the previous 24 hours. A total of 272 people, including 38 children, were evacuated from the front-line area.
