Eight of the nine agreed evacuation corridors worked as planned on Thursday, including one from Mariupol, the Ukrainian government said.
The responsible minister said nearly 800 private cars left Mariupol on Thursday, with more than 2,000 people crossing Russian-occupied territory to the city of Zaporizhzhia in the middle of the night.
It is the first time in many days that a corridor out of Mariupol has been awakened, although Vereshchuk did not mention whether a planned humanitarian convoy destined for the besieged city was allowed to leave Berdyansk by Russian forces.
Elsewhere, 36 tonnes of food and medicine were delivered to the cities of Hostomel and Bucha, northwest of Kiev, as well as three villages northeast of the capital – areas that suffered some of the worst Russian artillery and rocket fire.
A planned corridor between Kharkiv and Vovchansk, close to the Russian border, failed due to bombing by Russian forces, Vereshchuk said.
