Quote: "The last to agree to evacuate was a family with two school-aged children. They did not go to school itself, as it was destroyed by the Russians. The parents said they were used to living in a war zone, so the police had to make a lot of effort to convince the family to leave.

Now, under the protection of armour[ed vehicles] and the Angels, the family has reached a safe place. They will live in a safer region of the country. The children will go to school."
