According to him, the Ukrainian security forces are trying to contact both the forces of the DPR and the Russian military and are trying to “bargain on how best they should surrender.” 

“They demand or ask, it is not clear which is correct.

They do not particularly trust Kyiv.

In their last requests, they are evacuating not to Kyiv, not to a part controlled by Ukraine, but they want to go to Turkey, ”TASS quotes him.

As Pushilin noted, they allegedly want to disarm in Turkey.

“They suggest: “We will go out with weapons, swim to Turkey, and there we will disarm.”

This is what it sounds like,” the head of the DPR said.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Ukraine had disrupted the evacuation from Azovstal in Mariupol.
