soldiers was allowed to leave the in socal meant he made a statement on his facebook page but later what we were hearing from self defense forces on the ground is a denial that any groups had left they say that their conditions to allow these trapped soldiers to leave the battlefield remain in place and this is that they first and foremost need to hand over any kind of weapons now the russian president vladimir putin has said that it is regrettable that the ukrainian commandos in kiev have given the order for these scrapped troops to fight their way out rather than to lay down weapons and make and take advantage of this humanitarian corridor and accept the offer the self defense units here in eastern ukraine remain on the offensive this is a military operation where they are seeking to assist trapped citizens from the north action in from the constant shelling that we've seen one of ukrainian army here in the east of the country essentially what these anti-government commanders
