Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1023 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY January 13, 2026: ‘LAST TO LEAVE: Evacuating Civilians Under Fire’ by ZUMA Press photographer in Ukraine Francisco Richart: As Russia continues pressing its attacks into Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, a special police unit known as the White Angels faces an increasingly daunting mission: Rescuing the last civilian holdouts from villages under heavy fire and getting them to safer regions. Evacuations in Ukraine’s Sumy region, especially for the elderly, have been challenging due to constant Russian attacks, with residents often refusing to leave, leading to difficult rescues by groups like the ”White Angels” and Red Cross. Many elderly become trapped, facing abduction risks, as seen in Hrabovske where older residents were taken to Russia. Humanitarian efforts focus on providing transport and aid for those evacuating, with UNHCR and partners assisting with transit centers, despite ongoing risks and limited capacity for specialized care for the aging population. Welcome to ‘LAST TO LEAVE: Evacuating Civilians Under Fire’
