Some buses with evacuated Mariupol residents left for Zaporozhye
Some of the buses prepared for the evacuation of the residents of Mariupol are moving towards Zaporozhye along a route determined by Russia.
This was announced by the head of the Donetsk OVA Pavel Kirilenko on the air of the telethon, UP reports.
Today, the so-called evacuation corridor was announced precisely by the occupiers, by the Russian side. In this evacuation corridor, one number of buses was declared, there are points of loading into these buses and then moving along a certain route towards the city of Zaporozhye, and there they would be transferred to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities. Of the declared number of buses, there were much fewer of them. Of course, people gathered at those collection points, but few people got on the indicated buses. Now some of these buses go along a route determined by the Russian Federation, Kirilenko said.
He assured that he would report which of the residents of Mariupol got to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, as soon as these people were in touch.
Later, according to him, it will become clear whether the opportunity for the specified algorithm will work in the coming days.
In turn, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that the humanitarian corridor from Mariupol on Wednesday did not work as planned.
Unfortunately, the humanitarian corridor from Mariupol did not work as planned today. Due to the lack of control over their own military on the ground, the occupiers were unable to ensure a proper ceasefire. Also, due to the inherent disorganization and slovenliness, the occupiers could not ensure timely delivery of people to the point where dozens of our buses and ambulances were waiting, - she said.
In turn, the Ukrainian military said that "Russian terrorists again disrupted the previously announced humanitarian corridor, deliberately opening fire on it."
In the meantime, new Russian equipment with the "V" marking appeared in the city - these are the same garbage that raped and killed civilians in the Kyiv region. The soldiers of the Azov Regiment call on the world community to put pressure on the Russian Federation and find a mechanism for evacuating people from the territory of the Azovstal plant. Guarantees from a third party are needed, because there can be no trust in Putin!, says Deputy head of the Azov regiment, friend Kalyna.
