More than 300 civilians have been rescued since the start of evacuations from the besieged Azovstal steel plant, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly address on Saturday.
It marked the end of the first phase of evacuations, which started just over a week ago, prompting a thank you from the Ukrainian leader.
“I am grateful to the teams of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations for helping us carry out the first phase of the Azovstal evacuation mission. More than 300 people were saved, women and children.”
Authorities are now preparing for the second stage of evacuations for the wounded, medics, and military.
As of Saturday, the Russian army has destroyed or damaged nearly 200 cultural heritage sites, Zelensky added.
