Evacuations continue in Donetsk region amid worsening security and expanded mandatory orders

Evacuation efforts continue in Ukraine's Donetsk region as security conditions worsen, with volunteers and military personnel assisting vulnerable residents, including injured individuals and a 100-year-old woman, from frontline areas.
Evacuation efforts persist across Ukraine's Donetsk region as security conditions deteriorate. Volunteers recently evacuated twelve individuals, including three injured and one with limited mobility, from Druzhkivka and the Kostiantynivka community. Among those assisted was a 72-year-old woman who, after sustaining injuries, walked approximately 10 kilometers from Kostiantynivka to Druzhkivka over four days before being evacuated by the "Proliska" mission. The head of Mykolaivka's military administration noted the worsening situation there, with residents sometimes forced to evacuate on foot due to intense shelling. Additionally, authorities expanded mandatory evacuations for families with children in parts of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Bilenke, and the entirety of Pryvillia and Malotaranivka. Separately, Azov brigade soldiers aided the evacuation of three civilians, including a 100-year-old woman, from a frontline village following a Russian attack.
