Quote from Stremousov: "A decision has been made for the moment... We are ready for a difficult period because the Ukronazis [clearly derives from ‘Ukrainians’ and ‘Nazis’ combined; one of the names used for Ukrainians by Russian propagandists – ed.] are shelling the city; now, Rostov region and Krasnodar Territory are inviting children, parents, and the elderly to rest [there].
Literally starting from tomorrow, the Centres will be operational, and we will provide phone [number]s, so that people can get in touch... For the period while the Nazis are being disposed of... along the perimeter in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, we will gradually invite you to Crimea, Rostov region, [and] Krasnodar Territory for several weeks."
Details: Veniamin Kondratiev, Governor of the Krasnodar Krai, confirmed that "if necessary, the region was ready to accept and accommodate "up to 10,000 children with adults from Kherson Oblast".
