The head of Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region said Tuesday that he was ordering children and their guardians to evacuate from several frontline towns and villages as Russian forces were advancing.
The Kremlin said nearly two years ago that it had annexed the industrial region, and Russian forces have focused their firepower there in recent months.
"It was decided to conduct a forced evacuation of children with their parents or other legal representatives," Governor Vadym Filashkin said on social media, listing several villages near where Russian forces have been gaining ground.
