Together with the UN and the Red Cross, Ukraine carried out the first evacuation of people from Azovstal. Among those rescued from the plant are women, children, and the elderly. The occupiers cut off Ukrainian mobile and Internet operators in the Kherson Oblast, increasing propaganda in the temporarily occupied areas. At the same time, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine warns that Russia is preparing an offensive on Mykolayiv and Kryvyi Rih.
