    A report by Suspilne Kharkiv TV channel on evacuations coordinated by the RCC in Kharkiv region:

    Since the beginning of autumn, volunteers in the Kharkiv region have evacuated 26,000 people from the de-occupied areas of the region. The Helping to Leave charity organisation, together with the Relief Coordination Centre, collects and coordinates applications from those wishing to leave and finds benefactors to take people. There are still people in the border areas, some with children, who refuse to leave. There are free places for them in the city's dormitories. Watch how the evacuation is going, where those who have left live and how many children remain under fire.
