Russia to Evacuate 9,000 Children from Contested Border Region

Kyiv's forces have been attacking targets behind the relatively unchanged front line in the ongoing two-year war. In response, the governor of Russia's Belgorod border region announced that children will be moved further east to ensure their safety from potential Ukrainian strikes and raids. This announcement was made a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his intention to establish a buffer zone to safeguard Russian border regions.
