Vice Prime Minister for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk said that the evacuation of civilians in the city of Mariupol is planned to begin on Saturday, April 23, at about 12:00.
" Now we are starting to gather at the ring near the shopping center PortCity.
If everything goes according to plan, we will start the evacuation at about 12:00,"
Recall that the humanitarian corridor from Mariupol on April 20 did not work as planned. Due to the lack of control over their own military on the ground, the occupiers were unable to ensure a proper ceasefire.

Despite the announcement of the conquest of Mariupol, heavy fighting continues there, frustrating Russian attempts to seize the city, further slowing down the progress they want in Donbas.
