Ukrainian authorities are outraged that residents of Kyiv-controlled Avdiivka near Donetsk are hiding their children from evacuation. The unwillingness of local residents to cooperate complicates the search for those who need to be taken out of the conflict zone, said the head of the city military administration, Vitaly Barabash. The quote leads RIA Novosti.

“This is some kind of quest to find children. There were five, and then three more were found. [The parents] hide them so that they are not taken out, this is the height of irresponsibility,” Barabash complained.

As Leonid Kuchma's ex-adviser Oleg Soskin said earlier, Avdiyivka is "turning into a new Artemovsk" as Russian troops almost surrounded the city. It is located in the Pokrovsky district of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).

The ex-commander of the Ukrainian battalion "Aidar" (recognized as extremist in Russia and banned) Evgeny Dyky also spoke about the fact that Avdiivka is located in a semicircle.
