Ukrainian authorities have planned a further round of evacuations out of the besieged city of Mariupol on Friday, according to Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk.

“Tomorrow, on May 6, an evacuation from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia will take place. We are going to gather near the “Port City” shopping mall at about 12pm,” Vereshchuk announced in a Facebook post on Thursday evening.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in his nightly address Wednesday that Ukrainian authorities succeeded in evacuating 344 people from the Mariupol area.

The Ukrainian government is pushing ahead with separate efforts to evacuate civilians and soldiers still trapped in the Azovstal steel plant, which Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has hailed as a “the last stronghold of Ukrainian resistance in Mariupol.”

Around 200 civilians remain inside Azovstal according to information, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of Donetsk oblast military administration.
