Mandatory evacuation of families with children announced in two communities of Dnipropetrovsk region (updated)
Mandatory evacuation of families with children has been announced in a number of settlements of the Mezhivska village territorial community in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
This was reported by the press service of the community, Censor.NET informs.
"In accordance with the order of the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration Serhii LYSAK of 25 April 2025 No. 7963/0/527-25, from 25 April 2025, compulsory evacuation of families with children or their legal representatives was announced in certain settlements of the Raipilskyi starosta district of the Mezhivska village territorial community (villages: Kolona Mezhova, Novopidhorodne, Raipole, Sukhareva Balka)," the statement said.
The evacuation will be carried out by vehicles upon prior agreement on the date and time of departure with mandatory registration at the collection point in Mezhova.
"Those leaving should bring documents, money, bank cards, medicines, water and food for several days, a mobile phone and charger, warm clothes and shoes for a change, as well as necessary things that may be needed in case of evacuation," they added.
Subsequently, the head of the RMA, Serhii Lysak, announced the forced evacuation from the frontline areas of Synelnykivskyi district: four villages of the Mezhivska community and three villages of the Novopavlivska community.
The forced evacuation will last for a month.
"We have been offering to voluntarily leave these settlements for several months. Many residents decided to do so. Almost 400 children were taken to a safer place.
Another 26 boys and girls still remained. Their families hoped to the last that it would pass. Some of them are IDPs who have already experienced the loss of their homes and have just begun to build a new life. However, the Russians are targeting people with GABs and drones. So the decision was inevitable.
Children with their parents, relatives or legal representatives now have to leave the dangerous places. To coordinate the process, we set up a regional evacuation commission. The State Emergency Service, police, humanitarian organisations, doctors, military, and district heads have joined in," explained Lysak.
Philanthropists will help with transportation. There are options for resettlement. People will choose whether to settle in our region or in another. They will receive all social benefits, the head of the region summed up.
