A state of emergency is brought to an end in 15 districts of Rostov Region, which have common boarder with Ukraine.
The necessity of sustaining the vital functions in points of temporary dislocating of people, who are arriving at Rostov region from South-East Ukraine, became the reason of bringing the state of emergency to a close. The stream of refugees is increasing at every turn, about 7000 people have entered Russia during the last day. Women, children, and senior persons are those people who arrive at Rostov region in most cases. More than 2000 refugees from Donetsk and Lugansk Regions are in Crimea at the moment.
Remind that Ukrainian army has been putting special operation into practice in South-East Ukraine since the middle of April in order to quell the protest movement, which has appeared as the reaction to the change of authority, which took place in February after clashes of many days in Kiev and had signs of a coup. Active military actions were stopped during the time of President elections, which took place on the 25th of May, but were launched on the next day. This punitive operation has already led to the hundreds of victims and wounded among peaceful citizens.
Russia has repeatedly urged the authorities of Kiev to cease the violence on the East of Ukraine and allow peaceful population to get out of the district of military campaign.
We also recall: The Border guard of Ukraine did not let the refugees from Slavyansk go to Russia – was reported several days ago by the news agency ITAR-TASS.According to the agency, in the bus there were 17 women and 21 children, including infants. Since the border guard did not let the vehicle go, women and children were forced to cross the border on foot. Such actions of the Ukrainian border guards cause outrage. In the last few days, the Ukrainian army is firing centre of Slavyansk. During the so-called ”punitive operation” several civilians were killed. Previously, children’s hospital was under artillery fire.
