MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. Russian medics accompanied Alyoshki residents who decided to evacuate to Ukraine, human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova said at a press conference summing up the results of the Alyoshki humanitarian mission.

"For those who wanted to travel to Ukraine, we organized a special convoy to take them to Anapa [in Russia’s southern Krasnodar Region]. From there, a flight was arranged to take them to Ukraine via the Gomel Region in Belarus. Staff members from our office accompanied them. Since there were several bedridden individuals, we provided our own medical personnel to accompany them. We provided food, water, and everything else they needed and ensured their complete safety," she noted.
