A reminder that Ukraine has involved a number of countries and international organizations in negotiations with Russia to rescue the Ukrainian defenders blocked within the Mariupol-based Azovstal steelworks. The evacuation of the Azovstal defenders started on May 16, 2022. A total of 53 seriously wounded Ukrainian servicemen were taken to a health facility in Novoazovsk. In addition, 211 fighters were evacuated via a humanitarian corridor to Olenivka and are expected to be brought back home through a prisoner swap procedure.
