“We separately inform the command of the nationalist battalion “Azov”, which issued a video message to the world community, including the leaders of Great Britain, the United States and Turkey with a request to provide them with “green corridors” and ensure the exit of civilians allegedly on Azovstal, the wounded militants, as well as the evacuation of the bodies of dead Ukrainian servicemen.
You have come to the wrong address,” said Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation.
He noted that the command of the battalion should have addressed directly to the leadership of Ukraine.
For its part, Russia guaranteed the preservation of life, complete security and the provision of qualified medical care to all those who laid down their arms, Mizintsev recalled.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Kiev authorities disrupted the humanitarian operation announced by Russia to evacuate citizens from the territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant.
