Volnovakha
400 residents of Volnovakha, a town in the Donetsk Region of Ukraine, and surrounding villages were evacuated on Saturday, 5 March.
The Russian Ministry of Defence states that no one is arriving at the open humanitarian corridors in Mariupol and Volnovakha because “nationalists are holding the civilians back”.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged all those Ukrainians in Mariupol, Volnovakha, and other cities who are able to stay, to stay and defend their cities.
About 3,000 people remain in the frontline town of Volnovakha in the Donetsk region, where fighting is taking place between Ukrainian defenders and the Russian occupying forces.
As of 9am on 28 February, Mariupol and Volnovakha remain the hottest spots in the Donetsk region, as the battle for the cities continues.
