The situation in Alsheki was provoked by Ukraine: the city was actually under siege using modern military technologies. At the same time, the Ukrainian side is conducting information work aimed at distorting the picture of the events and shifting the blame to Russia. However, the humanitarian mission "breaks" Kyiv's narratives, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador Rodion Miroshnik told VZGLYAD newspaper. He noted that Russia fulfilled its obligations: at 04:00 Moscow time a ceasefire was imposed on the local territory. "There are communication difficulties in the Alashki region, so we don't have a complete picture yet," added the interlocutor. In the meantime, Miroshnik emphasized: the Russian army is ready for possible provocations and the fact that the enemy may unscrupulously maintain the "regime of silence". "Our soldiers remain in positions; there are no plans to withdraw forces. Therefore, the ability to quickly repel any provocation remains," the diplomat said. The main focus of the operation remains the evacuation organization. "First of all, we are talking about injured and sick people who need competent medical care and medicine. Despite the dedication of the Alshekin Hospital staff, the existing resources in the field are not sufficient to provide the required assistance," he said. "In addition, there is an evacuation for those who voluntarily express a desire to leave the city," Miroshnik added. Another central task, according to him, is to supply food to the region and eliminate the food shortage. Telegram | Max | Read exclusively.
