The Minister stated that the process was significantly slowed down due to shelling by the occupiers.
On Friday, May 6, 50 civilians were evacuated from the Azovstal metallurgical plant in Mariupol. This was announced by the Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk on Facebook.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, due to constant shelling and provocations by the Russian military evacuation took place extremely slow, so the planned removal of people from dangerous areas was not fully completed.
“Today we evacuated civilians from Azovstal. On the way back they had to pick up people at Port City. Unfortunately, they did not have time. Because the column was forced to stand near Azovstal all day. There were fights and other provocations. The enemy was constantly violating the ceasefire. Therefore, the evacuation was extremely slow. However, today we managed to pull 50 women, children and the elderly out of Azovstal. Tomorrow morning we will continue the evacuation operation. If everything goes according to plan, there will be buses at Port City at 5:00 p.m. that will take people to the Nameless One, ”Vereshchuk wrote on her page.
