264 wounded Ukrainian fighters have been evacuated by bus from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. They remain in Russian-occupied territory and will be exchanged for captured Russian servicemen, said Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar.

The defenders of Azovstal have fulfilled their combat mission, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said in a statement. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that on the 82nd day of the war, with the help of the UN and the International Red Cross, he hoped to save the lives of the defenders in Azovstal. "Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes alive. This is our principle, "Zelensky stressed.

EU foreign ministers have failed to agree on an agreement on the 6th package of sanctions against Russia, said the High Representative of the Community for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell. But the Council of Foreign Ministers has approved the allocation of another 500 million euros in aid to Ukraine for the purchase of weapons, with which the total EU aid to the country exceeds 2 billion euros,  Reuters reported.
