Several buses with evacuated Mariupol residents are going to Zaporizhzhia, head of administration reports
Some of the planned buses with evacuated residents of Mariupol are moving towards Zaporizhzhia along the route determined by russia.
This was stated by the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration Pavlo Kyrylenko on a telethon, Mariupol City Council.
"Today, the so-called evacuation corridor was announced by the occupiers, the russian side. In this evacuation corridor, a number of buses were announced. There are loading points for these buses and further traffic on a certain route towards the city of Zaporizhzhia, and there they would pass to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.
Of the stated number of buses, there were far fewer of them. Of course, people gathered at those collection points, but few of them got on these buses. Now one part of these buses are going on the route of movement defined by the russian Federation," Kyrylenko told.
Kyrylenko has promised to say which Mariupol residents have reached Ukrainian-controlled territory as soon as the people are in touch.
He also promises to announce later, "whether it will be possible to work on this algorithm in the coming days."
At the same time, the Mariupol City Council announced that a convoy of buses and ambulances in Orikhiv is ready to continue the evacuation of Mariupol residents.
