The "Prolisky" Humanitarian Mission: What We Know
The evacuation crews of the "Prolisky" humanitarian mission are volunteers who, under fire, evacuate civilians from the most dangerous areas of the Donetsk region and other frontline regions. They use marked armored vehicles, but the crews have repeatedly come under attack from Russian drones and artillery.
Key facts about the work of the "Prolisky" crews:
- Activities: Evacuation of people with limited mobility, people with disabilities, and families with children from the combat zone.
- Danger: Despite the "Evacuation" markings and logos, emergency vehicles are being deliberately targeted, as was the case, for example, during the drone attack in the Druzhkivka district.
- Armored vehicles: Volunteers use armored vehicles, but they are often damaged (broken windows, damaged bumpers).
- Crew members: The crew typically consists of drivers and social workers who risk their lives to transport people to safety.
The "Prolisky" teams continue their work even after coming under direct attack, helping people evacuate the combat zone.
