The Russian authorities will not leave their citizens abroad to their own devices, Mikhail Mishustin promised. This was announced by the head of the Government of the Russian Federation during a meeting of the coordinating council of the fight against the development of coronavirus, RIA Novosti reports.

The Prime Minister added that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the transport department will ensure their return home. Also, Mishustin noted, the Federal Air Transport Agency will assist citizens of other countries staying in Russia to get home.

Russians will be able to leave Ukraine on a special train today. Train No. 906/905 will depart on the route Kiev - Moscow - Kiev in the evening of March 27. The next day it will go back from Moscow. No stops are scheduled on the route. It is planned that the train will consist of eighteen cars, which is about eight hundred seats. Prior to this, Moscow gave an order to simultaneously organize the process of exporting, by railway, of Ukrainians to their homeland and Russian citizens from Ukraine.

Earlier, the Government of Russia decided to export all Russians, who wish to return to the homeland. In addition to the Federal Air Transport Agency and the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergencies and the President’s Administrative Offices may be involved in the export. All returnees will be quarantined for two weeks.
