More than 300 civilians have been rescued from the Azovstal steel factory, which has been hammered by Russian forces for several weeks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced.
In his late-night address, Zelensky said authorities were now focusing on the "second phase" of the evacuation, namely the removal of the wounded and medical personnel. They will also work on opening humanitarian corridors for all residents of Mariupol and surrounding settlements.
The Ukrainian president also said Kiev is trying to get its defenders out of Azovstal but stressed that this is "extremely difficult."
