Zelensky describes latest Mariupol evacuation
President Volodymyr Zelensky began his nightly address by praising the 156 civilians that were evacuated to the central Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, Qazet.az reports.
The group had been sheltering in the surrounded Azovstal factory in Mariupol for the past two months, he said.
"Finally, these people are completely safe. They will get help," he said, celebrating the nearly three days of quasi-"ceasefire" and all those who "ensured the physical transportation of people through the humanitarian corridor".
"Currently, Russian troops are not adhering to the agreements," he continued. "They continue massive strikes at Azovstal. They are trying to storm the complex."
