Roughly 100 Ukrainian civilians have been evacuated from the ruined Azovstal steelworks in the city of Mariupol after the United Nations confirmed a"safe passage operation" was in progress there.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said hundreds of civilians remain trapped in the steelworks, a vast Soviet-era complex with a network of bunkers and tunnels. The civilians came on buses in a convoy with UN and Russian military vehicles at the village of Bezimenne, around 30 km east of Mariupol, where a row of light blue tents had been set up.

Footage posted by Mr Zelenskyy on Twitter on Sunday showed him, flanked by an armed escort and dressed in military fatigues, greeting a US congressional delegation led by Ms Pelosi outside his presidential office the previous day.
