However, the occupiers also shell towns that are relatively far from the front. So, in reality, being anywhere in the Donetsk region is dangerous at this time. Eighteen communities remain in the active combat zone, home to around 23,000 people, including more than 110 children,&#8221; he said, urging residents to evacuate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/trump-may-impose-secondary-sanctions-on-buyers-of-russian-oil-and-russia-s-banking-sector-rubio\/\">Trump May Impose Secondary Sanctions on Buyers of Russian Oil and Russia\u2019s Banking Sector \u2013 Rubio<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of now, 32.8% of the Donetsk region remains under the control &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1194418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1194417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
