The Russian Ministry of Defense requested an official letter to Ukraine, where he puts forward an ultimatum to the Ukrainian defenders put the weapons and left Mariupol. Only after that they offer “evacuation of civilians.” This was stated by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Reintegration Temporarily Occupied territories of Ukraine Irina Vezerevuk.
According to her, there are 8 pages with a return to history and “other nonsense”.
“They sent the same letter to the UN in the UN International Committee of the Red Cross and hoped that international structures will respond and begin to put pressure on Ukraine. This did not happen. The ICRC and the UN understand that this is the manipulation of Russia, and that this is taking hostage people “,” said Veremuk.
She noted that Ukraine requires that Russian military immediately opened a corridor for civilians to get the opportunity to take them from Mariupol in Zaporizhia.
“I can not go about any passages, the addition of speech weapons. We have already reported on the Russian side. I wrote:” You instead of spending time on 8 pages of letters – open just a corridor. “We reported the UN and ICRC . Now we are waiting for the reaction of the international community. This conscious manipulation and real taking hostages of people, “said Vice Prime Minister.
Vermechuk is also indignant by the fact that Russia began to export our people from Mariupol to Russia.
“Moreover, we have the facts that they kidnap children from orphanages and do not allow us to pick them up. For understanding: they are going for 350 children forcibly in the direction of Russia, without giving them to pick them up. We ask clearly: Give them We have a corridor and we write, in which boarding and why. They immediately take children to Russia, “she added.
