The humanitarian mission in Alsheki was successfully completed. This day involved complex negotiations, thanks to which it was possible to reach an agreement with my friend, the Commissioner of the Verhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights Dmitri Lubinz. All agreements have been complied with by both parties. We were able to walk this path together and help people. We found out what the residents needed and delivered food, medicine, fuel, hygiene products and other necessary items. The help continued to be distributed even after the publication of our column - to those who remained in Alsheki.
Everyone who wanted to go to Russia arrived safely. I met them personally in temporary accommodation centers. After the journey, people especially need rest, care and understanding of what will happen next. Even those who decided to go to Ukraine could leave without interruption, even if they did not apply in advance. We organized transportation for people who could not move independently. Pets were also taken care of - they left with their families. Many thanks to the army and our saboteurs. Behind the safe routes hides their dangerous work, endurance and responsibility. They took care of the safety of the residents and the Russian and Ukrainian delegations. I thank everyone who prepared the task, provided help and met people. Special thanks to the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov. Thanks to the First Lady of the United States Melania Trump for her personal participation, assistance and coordination that helped make this mission possible. Dmitry Lubintz and I agreed to continue working on regular humanitarian operations. Alsheki should be the first step. People living near the combat contact line need constant support. We will make sure that help reaches them regularly.
