Ukraine War: More than 200 Ukrainian soldiers are being evacuated from steel plant

The Russian Defence Ministry has said it has reached a deal to evacuate wounded Ukrainian fighters from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.

Ukraine's defence ministry says 264 fighters have now left the plant.

Evacuated is not appropriate. It should be "they have surrendered"

[brianaluwani]

Evacuated in Z busses by Russian soldier wow this is cool, very friendly fight

[seabraes]

Being evacuated to enemy-controlled area? Sounds a bit wierd.

[araztheman]

Why not state the fact that they surrendered?

[jonpaul]

Surrendered finally, and the west used "evacuated" as the narration.

Evacuation 🙄🙄 wgy its so hard to accept and saying surrender, people they are not dumb

[lordsway]

I am surprised Sky and BBC haven't claimed how the wounded defenders of Marioupal single handedly fought their way out of the steel plant supported by the ghost of Kiev aka casper the ghost in the air

I like how how he thanks Ukrainian army for evacuation, knowing that they are evacuated by Russian forces.

[wolftone]

I’ll correct the propaganda. Injured Ukrainian soildiers surrender. Fixed.

[HandleGF]

'Surrender' seems to be the hardest word 😎

[mohammednoorgat]

They have surrendered but it is still spinned as something else

[KayJay]

Evacuated is a pretty funny way to say surrender.

[BorisTerekidi]

Azov fighters: “we surrender”
Russian forces: “ok, we will create a corridor for your surrender, wounded will be taken to hospital”
Ukrainian government: “we would like to thank our Ukrainian forces, UN for a successful evacuation operation”
Everybody: “say wha???”

[superiorcanaduh]

This evacuation sounds more like a surrender. Nice spin, Sky News. lol

[OrataKopata]

Oh, thank God. For a minute there I was worried, but now, thanks to Skyiv News, everything is cleared and explained. See, the Z-force was just accompanying the victorious yukrainian fighters. Probably providing some entertainment along the triumphant trip to safety. Some balalayka? Some cossachok? Some court martial and life sentences in labour camp? Maybe, maybe... Who knows... Skyiv News certainly ain't gonna tell us. For them everything is nice and dandy...

[askdiatom]

They were asked to surrender safely by the Russians a month ago. However Zelensky told them to fight till the end. Zelensky, the comic, now thanks them!!.

[rogervincent]

"Evacuated"??? LOL....The western media never ceases to amaze me. I evacuated work yesterday, as I will evacuate work today...LOL

[kevinfidler]

It's hard not to think of these individuals while going about my day a 1/2 world away. I hope they will make it home without suffering any further at the hands of their enemy.

[man-who-sold-the-world]

Impressive they were evacuated to Russian captured territory.

Look at those "tired, hungry and unwilling to fight" Russian soldiers being surrendered to
