Twenty-six children evacuated from border area of Sumy region

This was reported by the Sumy region’s police on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

“Over the past three days, 190 residents have been evacuated, including 26 children. Juvenile police officers, along with the community police officer, helped transport children from remote villages to the evacuation bus. Law enforcement officers ensured their safety by using personal protective equipment, including helmets and bulletproof vests specially designed for children,” the post says.

In safer places, police officers met families and helped them find accommodation. Together with social workers, law enforcers brought necessities for the children, including clothes and bed linen.
