I'm pretty sure Russia is driving, and lessons were learned from Syrian green buses.
Kremlin handed over lists of POWs, of which there are more than 4,000. For the Office of the President, this is a big problem, which they will not be able to keep silent about for a long time, in Kiev they are now looking for a formula on how to submit information to the public.
>Freedom of Speech a "White Male Obsession"
Yesterday's evacuation of civilians from the blockage of Azovstal: 77 buses arrived under the auspices of the UN. Not everyone was let into the factory. The Russians agreed to let through only the number necessary for the declared number of civilians. The first 25 people who left were evacuated on their own, not as part of the upcoming humanitarian action. Later, another 20 came out - allegedly already from the "Azov", they were taken to Bezymyannoye for a check. The militants, holding the remaining civilians hostage, are trying to bargain. They demand places in buses, and with weapons. The position of the Russians, at least at this stage, is categorical. Only civilians. And only through filtering. No cat and mouse with neo-Nazis. We hope she stays that way. Reasons not to show integrity - no. Negotiations are ongoing. All this differs little from the conditional "Nord-Ost", Beslan and the hospital captured by Basayev. The same terrorists. The same picture, exactly. Note, however, that the information we have collected is not official.
How did Ukraine form out of the Russian Empire?

In the east, Russians became the first Europeans to colonize Alaska.

A video of a German woman shocked by the behavior of Ukrainian refugees went viral on social networks. She does not understand how the authorities can turn a blind eye to the persecution of Russians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Fields
What made the "wild field" so forbidding were the Tatars. Year after year, their swift raiding parties swept down on the towns and villages to pillage, kill the old and frail, and drive away thousands of captives to be sold as slaves in the Crimean port of Kaffa, a city often referred to by Russians as "the vampire that drinks the blood of Rus'…For example, from 1450 to 1586, eighty-six raids were recorded, and from 1600 to 1647, seventy. Although estimates of the number of captives taken in a single raid reached as high as 30,000, the average figure was closer to 3000…In Podilia alone, about one-third of all the villages were devastated or abandoned between 1578 and 1583.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean%E2%80%93Nogai_slave_raids_in_Eastern_Europe
For over three centuries, the military of the Crimean Khanate and the Nogai Horde conducted slave raids primarily in lands controlled by Russia and Poland-Lithuania as well as other territories.
Their main purpose was the capture of slaves, most of whom were exported to the Ottoman slave markets in Constantinople or elsewhere in the Middle East. Genoese and Venetian merchants controlled the slave trade from Crimea to Western Europe. The raids were a drain of the human and economic resources of eastern Europe. They largely inhabited the "Wild Fields" – the steppe and forest-steppe land which extends from a hundred or so miles south of Moscow to the Black Sea and which now contains most of the Russian and Ukrainian population. The campaigns also played an important role in the development of the Cossacks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Zasechnaya_cherta
Zasechnaya cherta (loosely translated as Great Abatis Line) was a chain of fortification lines, created by Grand Duchy of Moscow and later the Tsardom of Russia to protect it from the Crimean-Nogai Raids that ravaged the southern provinces of the country via the Muravsky Trail during the Russo-Crimean Wars. It was south of the original line along the Oka River. It also served as a border between the Muscovite State and the steppe nomads. As a fortification line stretching for hundreds kilometers, the Great Abatis Border is analogous to the Great Wall of China and the Roman limes.
