The head of the Sumy regional military administration, Dmitry Zhivitsky, said that Russia began to gather its residents from settlements bordering Ukraine in order to simulate the evacuation of Ukrainians from cities surrounded by Russian invaders.
– The Russians want to commit provocations on their territory right now. They assemble buses in the area of the Sudzha settlement, gather local residents: grandparents, women, children in this settlement and try to make a picture for their propaganda media that Ukrainians are supposedly evacuating to the territory of the Russian Federation,” Zhivitsky said on Monday, March 7 .
He emphasized that the Russians “do not have enough brains to do some new creative things, so they act with the same methods that they used in other countries.”
“Today they are doing the same and trying to provoke the situation by showing that the Ukrainians allegedly want to evacuate to the territory of the Russian Federation. Remember, Russians, no true Ukrainian will ever cross into enemy territory. We will not accept any humanitarian convoys from the Russian Federation,” the head of the UVA stressed.
He added that the Ukrainian volunteers, the territorial defense and the Armed Forces “will perceive the movement of any transport from Russia as a further invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine.”
“We know about all your actions,” Zhivitsky warned.
According to the head of the OVA, there is still hope for the opening of humanitarian corridors in the Sumy region in the near future.
