Kiev allowed nationalists to use weapons against those who try to flee to Russia and to threaten to kill relatives, according to Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry's National Defense Control Center (NDCC).

"The Kiev regime has authorized nationalists to use weapons against those who are attempting to evacuate to Russia, threatening to kill relatives who remain on Ukrainian territory. Radicals also threaten physical harm against those who are trying to receive humanitarian assistance," the general said on Wednesday.

According to the general, the personnel located on two checkpoints of the so-called territorial defense on the Sumy-Grayvoron highway, wearing a civilian uniform and holding small arms and Molotov cocktails, are in charge of keeping the refugees from escaping.

"In Kharkiv, nationalists, under the threat of using weapons, are forcing local residents to set up barricades of car tires at every intersection in order to prevent civilians from accessing humanitarian corridors," the general said, adding that residents of cities and towns "have lost their already dubious faith in the current government, which prefers not to notice human suffering."
