More than 100.000 people have not yet been evacuated from besieged Mariupol, Ukraine, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk told national television today.
The mayor of Mariupol said earlier that he had spoken with France's ambassador to Ukraine about the options available for removing civilians, following French President Emmanuel Macron's statement that he would propose to Russia a plan to help civilians leave the city which is under siege by Russian forces.
Speaking on public television, the city's mayor Vadim Boichenko said the situation in the surrounded city remains critical, with street fighting taking place in its center.
