Over two years, more than three hundred children have been evacuated from the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson region. Despite the de-occupation, the occupiers are shelling the city and other settlements of the Kherson region on a daily basis.

This was reported by the press service of the Kherson Regional State Administration.

"Since the liberation of the right-bank part of Kherson region, the team of the Save Ukraine charitable foundation has evacuated 858 people from dangerous areas of the region.
