Three evacuation trains, which were blocked due to the russian aircraft strike at the overpass near Barvinkove station in the Donetsk region, resumed their work.

Head of the Donetsk RMA (Region Military Administration), Pavlo Kyrylenko, announced this information.

"The trains are already at a safe distance from the airstrike epicenter and follow a certain route. There are no wounded or injured passengers there," - Kyrylenko said.

He also reminded that evacuation trains depart from Donbas every day, taking residents of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to the western areas of Ukraine. More than 170,000 people have already been evacuated from Donbas thanks to these trains.

"With the russians concentrating their efforts on Donetsk and Luhansk regions, it is better for the civilian population to leave the area. After all, the occupiers consider civilians a target, ignoring the rules of warfare and the basic norms of human morality," said the Head of the Donetsk RMA.

Yesterday the russians conducted an airstrike on the overpass, which is the only way controlled by Ukrainians that allows leaving Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Lyman by train.
