According to Arakhamiia: "This was made possible thanks to the efforts of Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a concerted effort on behalf of the Office of the President coordinated by Andrii Iermak.
The vast majority of the work was undertaken by Denys Prokopenko and the Azov Regiment, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence, the team of the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories, and Iryna Vereshchuk. We are also grateful to the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross for their support.
Many people worked to make this possible. This work will continue until we rescue all our people."
Background: Earlier President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine confirmed that the evacuation of civilians from the Azovstal bunkers had begun with the help of the UN.
