9 марта 2022

Ukraine is undergoing an operation to remove the political undesirables. The experts who criticize Kiev's policies are detained. In particular, political scientist Yuri Dudkin, who was a frequent guest on now closed opposition channels and criticized Zelensky's government, has been detained. Dudkin, arrested by the SBU, was beaten and forced to make a statement. Also in Kiev, the SBU officers seized the brothers Mikhail and Alexander Kononovich. They are accused of spying for Belarus and Russia, as well as of being committed to communist ideology. They were harassed, beaten and threatened with violence against their relatives and friends.

Humanitarian corridors

At the same time, Kiev continues to sabotage humanitarian corridors. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian authorities closed all major evacuation routes from Kiev, Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov and Mariupol to Russian territory. This decision was criticized by the UN: Kiev was reminded that people should choose where to evacuate.

Reportedly, thanks to Russia's "silence regime" and humanitarian corridors, some 5,000 people and over a thousand private cars have left Sumy. Most of the evacuees are women and children.

The silence regime will be repeated today from 10:00 a.m. Russia will provide evacuation routes from Kiev, Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkov, Mariupol and other populated areas as agreed with Ukraine.
