"Many people, especially men, who are very few on the plane, are relocating their children and are going to return on other flights. They cannot leave everything behind and leave in the heat of war.

The southern part of the country continues to be shelled, and children are mostly evacuated from there," emphasized Artyom Chernamoryan.
