Several dozen civilians left the territory of the Azot plant in Severodonetsk. The Ambassador of the Lugansk People’s Republic to Russia Rodion Miroshnik stated this.
“In two days there were several exits, it was precisely civilians [who left the territory of the plant – Rossa Primavera News Agency] as the encirclement around the militants was tightening,” Miroshnik said.
He noted that people were coming out of the shelters as the territory of the plant was being liberated by units of the LPR People’s Militia and Russian troops. Miroshnik also noted that the plant is an old Soviet-era facility that still had bomb shelters. Therefore, the ambassador noted, there was a place to hide.
In the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. The Russian president said that the special operation became necessary to “protect people who have been subjected to persecution and genocide by Kiev regime for eight years.” Putin urged the Ukrainian military not to carry out the criminal orders of Kiev command and to lay down their arms.
Simultaneously with the start of the Russian Armed Forces’ operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, units of the LPR and DPR People’s Militia went on the offensive to liberate the territories of the republics previously occupied by Kiev.
