Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, said that 79 Mariupol residents had traveled by bus from Mariupol to Zaporizhia.
“For the first time since the blockade of Mariupol, the russian occupation forces managed to evacuate local residents in an organized manner and take them to a safe place. Earlier, the Russians broke all agreements and left the city only by private transport,” Kirilenko said. He also added that people left Mariupol by four buses and it is much less than agreed. “We continue to make efforts so that all Mariupol residents can leave for the free territory of Ukraine. This is one of the priority tasks of the entire state leadership,” said the head of the Donetsk OVA.
For his part, the head of the Zaporizhia Regional State Administration Oleksandr Starukh confirmed the information about the arrival of people from Mariupol. “People from Mariupol have arrived. They have escaped from hell, there are no other words,” said Starukh.

Iryna Vereshchuk noted that the actions of the russian side are a crime, as the work of the rubber corridors was agreed in accordance with international humanitarian law, and Russia does not allow it to be implemented.
