Quote: "We are preparing a decision on the forced evacuation of families with children from 10 settlements of Kupiansk, Kindrashivka and Kurylivka hromadas of Kupiansk district. There are 275 children. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories – ed.]

… All evacuees will be provided with housing, support and full assistance from international humanitarian organisations, and will receive one-off payments if they leave Kharkiv Oblast. If desired, evacuation to the western regions of Ukraine will be organised."

Details: Evacuation is carried out due to the shelling of frontline hromadas. 

Syniehubov stressed that children can only be evacuated with at least one parent or caregiver.

The oblast military administration also recommends that civilians, primarily families with children, evacuate from Borova hromada, Izyum district, including the village of Borova. Currently, 8,900 people live there, including 844 children.
