At the moment, the evacuation has been suspended due to renewed shelling from Lysichansk, the ambassador said in his Telegram channel. 

“Some of those who came out said that there could be hundreds more civilians in shelters that do not communicate with each other,” he writes. 

In addition, Miroshnik said that the military of Ukraine tried to force civilians to leave the dungeons of the plant: they set fire to walls and doors, tried to drive smoke into the cracks and air ducts of shelters. 

“When leaving, the Nazis mined many entrances to the shelters.

Many traps and stretch marks have been installed.

Now our sappers are working with them, ”he said.
