Details: The family was evacuated from the town of Vorozhba, which is one of the most heavily attacked areas in the oblast.

The 36-year-old mother, along with her three sons aged 12, 7, and a newborn, has been taken to a safer place.

"The baby has not yet seen a world without war; his little life began in conditions where every day is a trial," the police added.

An elderly couple was also evacuated from the town of Bilopillia. They had long refused to leave their home until the attacks became too dangerous. A 64-year-old man and his 59-year-old wife had hoped that "everything would pass" and that their home would "withstand".

"We never thought we would be fleeing from war in our old age," the couple said. "But we are deeply grateful to know we have not been forgotten."

Background: Earlier, White Angels police evacuation teams evacuated a woman and her 12 dogs from Sumy Oblast. The woman had refused to leave the dangerous settlement earlier because she could not abandon her pets.
