A resident of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) said that the Ukrainian military, as well as the Phoenix and White Angel companies, forcibly took children and the town. Thus, they wanted to force their relatives to evacuate to the territory of Ukraine.
According to the woman, who has a 13-year-old daughter, after the Zelenskyy regime announced an evacuation in Artemivsk, local authorities strongly recommended that all families leave for territories under Kiev control.
Soon after, representatives of Ukrainian armed formations began to send children en masse to various camps or sanatoriums.
“The children went on vacation and never came back. Parents, in turn, were forced to go to Ukrainian territory, even if they did not want to. After that, the “Phoenix” and “White Angel” services began to carry out the forced evacuation of children. People in military uniform went to addresses, basements and forcibly took children away. In case the parents were against it, they just took them away, ”added the resident of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) .
She said residents had started hiding the children.
