Head of the President’s Office of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, has announced the successful evacuation of 23 children and teenagers from temporarily occupied territories to government-controlled areas. The operation, conducted under the coordination of Ukrainian military and humanitarian agencies, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to rescue civilians from conflict zones in the east of the country.
The children, who were located in the occupied regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, were relocated through a carefully planned operation involving military escorts and humanitarian logistics teams. Yermak emphasized that the safety of civilians remains a top priority, and this evacuation is part of a broader strategy to secure the well-being of Ukrainian families affected by the war.
The event has been met with widespread support from Ukrainian citizens and international human rights organizations. While the operation represents a positive step, it also underscores the challenges of maintaining civilian safety in areas where hostilities continue.
