Bashkiria declares readiness to accept refugees from Donbass

As Khabirov pointed out, the inhabitants of the republic themselves began to respond with proposals to shelter refugees at home and help the victims. The Mkset publication reports that it will be possible to contact the current situation center by phone number: 8 (347) 218 19 19 .

After the announcement of the evacuation on February 18, about 25,000 residents of the unrecognized Luhansk republic crossed the border with Russia. More than 6.5 thousand people left the DPR for the Russian Federation, about 2.5 thousand of whom are children.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the payment of 10,000 rubles to each refugee. The Rostov Region, which was the first to receive the evacuees, received 5 billion rubles for this purpose.

Also, the Orenburg region and Yakutia announced their readiness to accept refugees.
