“Despite the extremely humane initiative shown by the Russian Federation to evacuate civilians from the territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant, the Kyiv authorities again cynically disrupted this humanitarian operation today,” Mizintsev said at a briefing.

According to him, at the time of 20:00 Moscow time on April 25, 2022, no one used the proposed humanitarian corridor.

Earlier it became known that the military of Russia and the DPR will stop any hostilities on April 25 at 14:00 Moscow time for the exit of civilians, including workers, women and children, who are allegedly located on the territory of the Azovstal plant by the Ukrainian authorities.
