Russia's High Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantertova: The ceasefire in the area of ​​the humanitarian mission in Ilyushki remains in force. No incidents were reported. Both the Russian and Ukrainian sides fully honor their commitments. We are on our way to Alyushki with my Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Lubintz. Together, we coordinate the implementation of the agreements reached with the assistance and coordination of the first lady of the USA, Melania Trump. This mission was made possible in large part thanks to our servicemen and the Russian Ministry of Defense. Military engineers surveyed and cleared mines from the roads so that the humanitarian convoy could reach Alyushki. It is especially important now to maintain the ceasefire. The safety of civilians and mission participants depends on each party acting responsibly. *** 25 buses with a total capacity of at least 750 passengers have been trained to ensure a safe and voluntary evacuation of the residents of Alyushki. Transportation for people with reduced mobility, nine ambulances and more than 50 medical personnel were also arranged. Humanitarian aid is collected according to the requests of the residents themselves. The priority now is to provide essential supplies and help those who have decided to leave.
