Three Russian regions have reported increasing flows of refugees from Ukraine. Thousands of refugees from southern, eastern and central Ukraine are pouring into the Belgorod region, Belgorod Governor Yevgeny Savchenko said. The refugees motivate their desire to stay in Russia by the ongoing rampage unleashed by the unruly ultra-right who seized power and think that they can get away with anything, he said.
A group of unidentified men attempted to shut the Moscow-Crimea M2 highway, Savchenko told the Rossiya-24 television.
"Crowds of gunmen - no one knows where they came from – are roaming around, staging all sorts of provocations. Yesterday, they attempted to block the Moscow-Crimea highway. We are deeply concerned," the governor said.
People are fleeing political and social uncertainty, saying they no longer feel safe in their country, Governor of the Rostov Region Vasily Golubev told reporters.
Most refugees are perplexed by what's happening in Ukraine, they fear for their safety, echoed Bryansk Region Governor Nikolay Denin.
The refugees have all the sympathy and understanding from locals, he added.
More than 140,000 Ukrainians have fled to Russia since the beginning of unrest in Ukraine, according to Federation Council Speaker Yevgeny Bushmin.
Many refugees are staying with their relatives and friends, he said.
