Russia is planning to evacuate approximately 9,000 children from a border region that is under continuous shelling by Ukraine. This decision comes as Ukraine increases its focus on targeting areas behind the front line that has remained relatively static in recent months. The children will be relocated from the Belgorod region further east, away from the border with Ukraine. The move follows a statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin about creating a buffer zone to shield border regions from Ukrainian attacks. The fighting has resulted in civilian casualties, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of people in temporary accommodation. The conflict has escalated with reports of aerial attacks causing injuries and fatalities on both sides. Ukraine is seeking additional support from Western allies, particularly for air defense systems, as it faces significant challenges in countering Russian military actions.
