Azovstal evacuees could be brought into Russian territory, Zelenskyy warns

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy voiced concern that evacuees from the Azovstal industrial complex could be brought by Russian forces into Russian territory, in an interview with Greek television ERT on Sunday.

"As of now, we already know about half a million people that were illegally deported, by force to Russia in other cities," he said.

The first evacuees from the ruins of Mariupol's Azovstal steel plant who were cowering in underground bunkers from Russian shelling for weeks have arrived in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on Monday.

Russian defence ministry released footage of the evacuation of civilians in the last remaining stronghold of Ukrainian forces in the city.
