For the twelfth time, the RF Armed Forces have provided civilians in Ukraine with humanitarian corridors for evacuation from dangerous areas of the country, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation, said on Tuesday.
“Today, from 10 a.m., exclusively for humanitarian purposes, the Russian Federation has for the twelfth time provided humanitarian corridors in the Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv directions along one humanitarian corridor to the Russian Federation, and one more through the territories controlled by the Kiev authorities towards the western borders of Ukraine. The Russian Armed Forces strictly observe the introduced “silence regimes,” he said.
The general noted that out of the ten routes proposed by the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian authorities agreed on only three, but at the same time, not a single humanitarian corridor to Russia was confirmed by official Kiev again.
“Based on humanitarian principles and solely for the purpose of ensuring the safety of civilians forcibly held by nationalists in besieged settlements, we daily coordinate all additional humanitarian corridors proposed by Kiev. Today, the Ukrainian side announced nine routes for the withdrawal of refugees in the Zaporozhye, Zhytomyr and Poltava directions. On all these routes, the Russian Armed Forces also strictly observe the “silence regime,” Mizintsev stressed.
