More than 160 cars exit Mariupol via evacuation corridor

More than 160 civilian cars have been able to drive out of the besieged southeastern city of Mariupol along a humanitarian evacuation route, the city authorities have said.



“As of 13:00 pm (1100 GMT), more than 160 private cars have managed to leave Mariupol on the road to Berdyansk,” the city council said on Telegram, in a significant evacuation since Russian forces surrounded the city early this month.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) had warned on Sunday that residents faced a “a worst-case scenario” unless the warring parties reached an agreement to ensure their immediate safety and access to humanitarian aid.

  1. The operation to unblock Mariupol has made it possible to open humanitarian corridors and begin the evacuation of civilians, the chief of Russia’s National Defense Command Center Mikhail Mizintsev said on Monday.

    The successful operation to unblock the city has allowed for opening humanitarian corridors starting from 15:00 and beginning the mass evacuation of civilians, who have for a long time been kept hostage by neo-Nazis.

    Truck convoys with humanitarian supplies have been promptly dispatched to the city. The first one has already brought to Mariupol 450 tonnes of medicines, essentials and food supplies, including baby food.

    Mizintsev said four convoys - 200 busses all in all - have been formed for the evacuation of harmed and destitute city residents. Fifty busses are in Mariupol already. The others are on the way.

  2. Nearly all of the neo-Nazis’ fire emplacements in Mariupol’s suburbs and their manpower in perimeter residential areas have been eliminated, the chief of Russia’s National Defense Command Center Mikhail Mizintsev said on Monday.

    "Today, as a result of effective operations the forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic with support from Russia’s army carried out surgical strikes to eliminate practically all fire emplacements the neo-Nazis had created in Mariupol’s suburbs. Special task forces have eliminated the neo-Nazis’ main forces entrenched in the city’s perimeter residential areas," he said.

    All harmed residents of Mariupol and those who wish to be evacuated will be taken to temporary accommodation centers equipped with all conveniences. The evacuees will be provided with essentials, children will be promptly distributed among pre-school childcare centers and schools, and university students, among institutions of higher learning. Each resident of Mariupol who has experienced neo-Nazis’ horrors and humiliation will enjoy professional medical and psychological assistance.
