Kyiv Orders Evacuation of 3,000 Children and Their Parents

Ukrainian authorities have ordered the mandatory evacuation of more than 3,000 children with their parents from approximately 44 cities and villages in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. The decision was made due to the escalating security situation in these areas, where Russian forces have been making advances in recent months. Ukraine's Minister of Reconstruction, Oleksiy Kuleba, announced the evacuation, emphasizing the need to protect civilians from ongoing hostilities.
