Cadets and students of DSUIA, pupils of the Dnipro Security-Oriented and National-Patriotic Education Lyceum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs named after O. Hostishchev participated in the meeting. The event was also attended by the university’s rector, Police Colonel Oleksandr Morhunov.
The head of the “White Angel” unit of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Donetsk region, Police Major Hennadii Yudin, spoke about the history of the evacuation groups’ formation, the process of assembling the police team, and the unit’s daily activities.
The special police unit “White Angels” has been carrying out humanitarian missions in frontline areas since December 2022. The officers have evacuated more than 10,000 civilians, as well as animals, and delivered tons of humanitarian aid. The unit’s name originated during the evacuation of residents from Mariinka when law enforcement officers used a white-colored vehicle.
The police officers shared their experience in conducting evacuations, including the transportation of people with disabilities, and demonstrated the use of specially equipped evacuation vehicles designed primarily for providing pre-medical assistance. Attendees also watched video footage of evacuation operations in frontline cities.
The students actively asked questions, showing interest in the specifics of evacuation procedures and the daily motivation of police officers.
At the end of the meeting, representatives of the “White Angel” unit presented the university with a flag, a children’s bulletproof vest, and toys used for psychological relief for children during evacuations.
In response, DSUIA representatives gifted the police officers GoPro cameras for documenting their activities, a painting symbolizing the “White Angels,” and the university’s flag with heartfelt wishes.
