Civilians leave Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol as Pelosi visits Ukraine
Local residents close the windows of an apartment building with plywood after Russian shelling in Dobropillya, Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, Saturday, April 30, 2022
SOME women and children were evacuated from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol today after a humanitarian corridor was opened briefly to facilitate their escape.
An estimated 1,000 civilians have been holed up there with 2,000 Ukrainian troops associated with the far-right Azov Battalion.
The south-eastern port city is the stronghold of the neonazi group, which has its headquarters there. It has been subjected to a brutal siege by the invading Russian army, which announced victory there last month.
