It is possible for the sailors on board the Tzarevna ship to be evacuated. According to Sevda Kaloyanova, who is a colleague of the sailors and has worked for the company which owns the ship, the crew of 17 Bulgarian and 3 Ukrainian sailors are well and have enough food and water. In her words it all depends on whether the Russians will capture Mariupol, if they do they will probably let the ships go, she commented.

According to her, even if a corridor is negotiated between Russia and Ukraine, the Azov battalion which is in control of the port could open fire against them, that is why evacuating the ships at this time is dangerous.
