The flow of refugees from the Donbass to Russia at the Avilo-Uspenskaya checkpoint from the DPR has suddenly dried up. There is no excitement at the border from the Donetsk Republic, which contrasts strongly with the situation that was last night.

Correspondents did not see any queues of buses or a large number of refugees there. Nevertheless, an ambulance is on duty near the border and a point of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is deployed. Employees of the department help elderly women who arrived by taxi to carry bags through the checkpoint.

There are no queues at gas stations. Gasoline prices, by the way, are at the level of Russian ones. The roadside cafe in the border village of Kuteynikovo turned out to be crowded.

We pass by a completely peaceful taxi and an infantry fighting vehicle at the side of the road, and a monument to a humanitarian convoy - a white KAMAZ. At the same time, the road is calm, and, by the way, the border area is quite good.

At the entrance to Donetsk, a distant cannonade is heard, but outwardly the city looks peaceful. Meets with fire. Only on the roads after Rostov-on-Don, a small number of cars catches the eye. At the same time, public transport works and city buses with passengers pass by.
