“Despite all the difficulties created by official Kyiv, over the past day, without the participation of the Ukrainian authorities, 22,017 people, including 3,479 children, were evacuated from dangerous regions of Ukraine and the republics of Donbass to the territory of the Russian Federation,” Mizintsev said.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that militants of the Ukrainian armed formations mined the sides of an asphalt road near Krivoy Rog and did not notify local residents about this.
