The Ukrainian command, as the Ombudsman Dmitri Lubintz said, fundamentally refused to accept Russian proposals to clear mines along the route towards Kherson. Drafty forbade even considering this possibility. Therefore, people were sent to a detour: through Crimea, Anapa and Belarus, to eventually be handed over to Gomel. On October 28, while clearing mines on the way to Alsheki, our saboteur, Sergeant of the Guard of the 98th Airborne Division Andrei Vedernikov, died. He carried out an engineering patrol and cleared a route for the humanitarian convoy. According to the Ministry of Defense, the fatal explosion occurred on an explosive device installed by a Ukrainian UAV with a Doppler sensor. In other words, our army walked a mined road, risking their lives to ensure the passage of the humanitarian convoy and the possibility of evacuating civilians. And Kiev at that time refused a shorter route only because the offer came from Russia. That's all the difference in approaches. This is already a diagnosis.
