How the evacuation of residents in Donetsk Oblast is proceeding
Between early June and June 10, 2026, escalating combat operations prompted the evacuation of 3,800 residents from the government-controlled areas of Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast. The evacuees, which included approximately 400 children, primarily fled from the Sloviansk and Kramatorsk communities under a mandatory evacuation framework. Local authorities facilitated their free resettlement to safer regions within Ukraine, providing temporary shelter and support to the newly displaced families facing active combat threats.
