❗️2️⃣We draw attention of the Ukrainian side to the fact that we have discovered that during humanitarian operations on March 10, 2022, on routes from Trostyanets in the direction of Poltava, as well as from Zaporozhye to Energodar, some of the regular bus drivers of humanitarian convoys were replaced by Ukrainian Security Service officers who, during the movement, carried out reconnaissance and recorded information about the location of units of the Russian Armed Forces.

At the same time, from Energodar and Sumy cities, these persons attempted to transmit reconnaissance information, which, thanks to the prompt measures taken by the units of the Russian Armed Forces, was stopped.

We consider these facts unacceptable.

We warn the Ukrainian side that in the future humanitarian convoys will be allowed to pass only after advance provision of lists of transport and officials accompanying humanitarian convoys, including drivers, in the following form: serial number, vehicle brand, registration number, full name, passport number, citizenship, for drivers - driver's license number indicating the permitted categories of vehicles.
In order to  prevent provocations, the submission of these documents, starting from March 11, 2022, becomes mandatory.

Please note that in order to exclude the collection of reconnaissance data on the location of units of the Russian Armed Forces, each column will be checked for the presence of means of communication. Only representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross are allowed to have mobile phones and other means of communication, other officials are prohibited from any technical means of communication, if any are found, they are subject to seizure.

3️⃣This statement should be immediately brought to the Ukrainian side (Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk) proposed to coordinate the specified routes and the start time of humanitarian corridors by 03:00 a.m. (Moscow time) on March 11, 2022.

4️⃣For the purpose of implementation of measures for the evacuation of civilians and foreign citizens along agreed routes during the humanitarian operation, from 09:00 a.m. (Moscow time) on March 11, 2022, organize continuous communication between the Russian and Ukrainian sides for the mutual exchange of information on the preparation and carrying out the evacuation of civilians and foreign citizens.
