Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Oleksii Serhieiev announced this at a briefing, Ukrinform reports.

According to him, White Angels units are trained to provide first aid and have already assisted more than 644 people.

Serhieiev stated that there are currently 24 White Angels evacuation teams operating in Ukraine.

"A total of 153 police officers, the most skilled and best prepared to work in extremely difficult conditions, are involved in these teams," he said.

He added that these groups are equipped with armored vehicles, medicines, first aid supplies, communication tools, electronic warfare systems, and all other necessary means for conducting evacuations under constant shelling.

First Deputy Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (DSNS) Vitalii Myroniuk noted that their evacuation teams, called Phoenix, currently numbering 29, operate according to the same model as the White Angels.

According to him, these teams have 38 vehicles, all of which are armored, including 14 with armored compartments for transporting the belongings of evacuees. Myroniuk added that the vehicles are equipped with electronic warfare systems, communications, and personal protective gear for every evacuee.

"In total, all vehicles can simultaneously evacuate about 330 people. When needed, evacuation groups are also supported by psychologists, medics, sappers, and other personnel," he said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, in the Sumy region, the White Angels police unit evacuated a 69-year-old man from an area under Russian shelling.
