Mizintsev added that officials in Kyiv constantly talk about factory workers, women and children allegedly underground in Azovstal, and on the other hand, they deliberately refuse all humanitarian initiatives from the Russian side and do not take any practical measures to evacuate them, stressing that this illogical behavior of Kiev once again confirms the lack of Its frank concern for the fate of Ukrainian citizens.
