Nebenzya spoke about Kyiv's refusal to cooperate on the evacuation of people through the gum corridors

“The Ukrainian side categorically refuses to cooperate on the issue of evacuating people from Kharkiv and Sumy,” Nebenzya said.

He called “understandable” the intention of Kyiv to prevent the exit of civilians and foreigners who wish to enter Russia by any means.

“He is afraid that people, once free, will tell the truth about the actions of Ukrainian radicals,” Nebenzya suggested.

The Russian side announces from 10:00 Moscow time on Tuesday, March 8, a ceasefire for the evacuation of civilians from Kyiv, Kharkov, Chernigov, Sumy, Mariupol, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
