Despite the evacuation, 34 children remain in the Slovyansk area

In the Donetsk region, in the settlements near Sloviansk where the mandatory evacuation of families with children is ongoing, 34 children remain.

This was reported on Facebook by Vadym Lyakh, head of the Sloviansk City Military Administration.

He noted that he held a meeting with law enforcement officials regarding the evacuation of families with children and emphasized that the safety of children is now the top priority.

“As of today, 34 children are living in the areas of Sloviansk where such evacuation is mandatory. At the end of March, there were 96. We discussed ways to speed up the process, as the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous,” wrote the head of the Military Administration.

According to him, starting next Monday, April 20, regular buses will no longer run to Semenivka, and the final stop will be the Khimik neighborhood. Starting May 1, routes to the Skhidny neighborhood will also be canceled.

“These are necessary measures; people’s safety is at stake. Take care of yourselves. Hang in there. We’re in this together!” Lyakh stated.

In the Kharkiv region, the mandatory evacuation zone has been expanded to include the Kupianskyi district.

In Sloviansk, authorities also plan to implement the mandatory evacuation of children from areas most affected by Russian shelling.
