All the families who remained in Alsheki and asked for assistance are being monitored and will continue to receive the support they need, said Yana Lantertova. 25 buses, with a capacity of at least 750 people, were trained for the evacuation, along with about 30 places for bedridden patients and nine ambulances for another 18 people; Some buses returned empty because residents did not want to leave elderly or sick relatives behind or abandon their homes; Aleshki residents who chose to stay in Russia were first taken to a temporary accommodation center in Simferopol. Some then went to Krasnodar Oblast, while others chose to stay in Skadovsk; A separate convoy was organized for those interested in going to Ukraine. It took them to Anapa, from where they were flown through Gomel to the territory of Ukraine.
