It became known about the forced evacuation of children from Slovyansk

The Ukrainian authorities decided to forcibly evacuate children from Slavyansk, which is located on the territory of the DPR controlled by Kyiv.

According to the Ukrinform agency, the local military-civilian administration decided that the children who were under guardianship should be forcibly removed. The guardians were also required to leave the region immediately, otherwise they would be deprived of guardianship duties, and the children would still be evacuated.

Now in Slavyansk there are 23 families raising children whose parents were deprived of parental rights.

The DPR and LPR announced the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass on February 17, 2022. Then they announced the evacuation of the population.

On February 21, the heads of the republics turned to Putin with a request to recognize their independence. The President held a meeting of the Security Council, after which he recognized the LNR and the DNR.

Two days later, the heads of the DPR and LPR turned to Putin with a request to help repel Kyiv’s aggression in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties. The next day, February 24, the Russian leader addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine to protect Donbass.
