Commenting on the situation at Azovstal in her Telegram channel, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said:

As of now, it is impossible to unblock Azovstal by military means. Azovstal defenders do not want to surrender. This is worthy of respect. The Russians do not agree for "extraction". This is a reality, but it is not surprising.

According to the official, the Government is currently working on various options.

We are not looking for an ideal option, but a working one. As a first step, the Russians were offered such an exchange: We are taking our seriously injured guys out of Azovstal along the humanitarian corridor. Instead, we hand over Russian prisoners of war according to the standard rules of prisoner exchange.
