People continue to be evacuated from the frontline areas of Ukraine to safer regions. Between 1 June and 19 September 2025, almost 95,000 people were evacuated, including about 10,500 children and more than 3,100 people with reduced mobility.

Evacuation data by region:

Today, there are 19 transit centres operating in several regions of Ukraine. Most of them are located in the Dnipropetrovsk region — eight, including in the cities of Pavlohrad, Dnipro, and the villages of Stepove and Voloske. Five transit centres operate in the Sumy region, two in the Kharkiv region, three in Volyn, and another one has been opened in Mykolaiv for evacuated residents of the Kherson region. The Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration is considering the possibility of opening a large transit hub in Zaporizhzhia.

People receive comprehensive assistance at transit centres: humanitarian, medical, psychological, legal and social. They are helped to restore their documents, apply for benefits and social services, and receive financial support from the state and humanitarian organisations.

Since the beginning of August this year, the transit point in Pavlohrad has received more than 9,500 people. Since 19 August, more than 3,500 people have passed through Lozova, and since 23 August, more than 1,100 people have passed through Volosky.

After the transit centre, evacuees can use the services of free temporary accommodation (MTP). In total, there are 1,090 MTPs in Ukraine, providing over 77,000 beds for IDPs. Currently, more than 6,000 places remain vacant. More than 3,500 places have been created for persons with disabilities and people with reduced mobility, of which 92 are vacant.

The largest number of TAs have been created in the following regions: Dnipropetrovsk – 130; Zakarpattia – 111; Kharkiv – 78; Kirovohrad – 76; Lviv – 68; Poltava – 64; Chernivtsi – 63; Vinnytsia and Ivano-Frankivsk – 60 each; Rivne – 58; Khmelnytskyi – 57.

The evacuation of the population is being carried out in close cooperation between the State Emergency Service, the National Police, local communities, volunteers and international partners. Specialised units – the State Emergency Service’s Phoenix group and the National Police’s White Angel group – are working directly in the frontline areas.

They are equipped with armoured vehicles, medical supplies and equipment for transporting people from all population groups. At the same time, the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity, in cooperation with local communities, is organising the transport of people with reduced mobility to hospitals and specialised institutions immediately after their evacuation.

The main task remains to ensure adequate living conditions for vulnerable groups and to open new temporary accommodation centres in safer regions of the country.
