Ukraine to expand mandatory evacuations on front lines
KYIV, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Ukraine plans to expand the number of districts on the war's front lines where civilian evacuations will be mandatory, as those areas could be occupied and face central heating problems this winter, a deputy prime minister said on Friday.
The Ukrainian government launched a campaign of mandatory evacuations in July for people in the eastern Donetsk region that it began implementing this month.
Ukrainian-controlled districts and towns in the industrial east are under constant shelling from Russia and its proxies.
