Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed Acting Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander Chupriyan to urgently arrive in the Rostov Region to organize work to receive refugees from Donbass.

Earlier, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced that the governor of the Rostov region, Vasily Golubev, had addressed the head of Russia with a request to provide assistance in connection with the influx of refugees in the region.

“Putin spoke by phone with Acting Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander Chupriyan and instructed him to urgently fly to the Rostov Region to organize work on the spot to create conditions for accommodation, provide hot meals and everything necessary, including medical care”, - said the press secretary of the head of state (quote from RIA Novosti).

A few hours earlier, the authorities of the LPR and DPR announced a mass evacuation of the population of the republics, saying that they were preparing to receive refugees in the Rostov region. These statements were made against the backdrop of an aggravation of the situation on the line of contact. The heads of the DPR and LPR announced the readiness of the armed forces of the republics for defense.
