One such example is the evacuation of a brother and sister from Siversk, Bakhmut district in Donetsk region.
Eight-year-old Dmytro and his ten-year-old sister Victoria lived under constant shelling from the Russian occupiers. Because of this, the children walked outside in the winter for the last time, and then only near the basement.
Fierce battles are taking place near the city, 500 m to the front line. In the last two weeks, the situation has worsened: the enemy is attacking Siversk with aviation, artillery, and mortars. Only about 20% of housing survived in the city, there is no electricity, gas, water, or communication.
On the subject: Ukrainian marines received 2,000 bulletproof vests from the Lviv Defense Cluster.
The children were taken out in evacuation bulletproof vests, which the Lviv Defense Cluster handed over to the Juvenile Prevention of the National Police of Ukraine for the evacuation of children from areas of hostilities. The policemen successfully evacuated Dmytro, Vika and their mother to the Dnipro.
The brother and sister lived in terrible conditions for a year and learned to distinguish by hearing the explosions of different types of shells. Under the sights of enemy guns, the police prolong the operation to save the children.
