On April 23, Zelensky said that Ukraine would withdraw from negotiations with Russia if the invaders destroyed Ukrainians in Mariupol or held a pseudo-referendum in the temporarily occupied territories..

Recently, in three evacuations, it was possible to take away part of the civilians from Azovstal, but for the military, including the wounded, evacuation remains impossible.
