Front-Line Evacuation of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk
On June 9, 2026, the Ukrainian government initiated a new phase of forced evacuations targeting families in front-line settlements. The mandatory evacuation order covered active combat zones in the Kramatorsk and Sloviansk communities of the Donetsk Oblast due to intensifying Russian strikes. According to the Donetsk Regional State Administration, this specific directive resulted in the displacement of 629 children, alongside their families, who were relocated to safer regions to avoid the expanding geographic threat of drone and artillery attacks.
