Ukraine war: Russian attacks force children near front line to evacuate - BBC News

Ukrainian children forced to leave their homes near the front line have begun to arrive in safer parts of the country.

Last week, parents were told they must move their families to safety from 31 settlements in the southern Kherson and eastern Donetsk regions.

Ukraine officials, who made the orders, said the fighting has become too intense for children to remain.

While millions of Ukrainians have fled the war abroad, the Ukrainian government estimates there are nearly five million internally displaced people in the country.
