All women, children and elderly evacuated from Mariupol's steel plant, Ukraine and Russia say

turday , after days of start-and-stop efforts to get the last civilians out.

The office of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine thanked the two international groups for helping with the"first phase" of evacuations. The office said on Telegram that the civilians who had been in the plant were rescued, more than 300 in all. The next goal would be to evacuate the wounded and medics, the office said.

Despite the mediation of international groups, there was still bloodshed, a Ukrainian official said. Three Ukrainian soldiers were killed during an evacuation attempt from Azovstal, according to Mykhailo Vershinin, the chief of the city's patrol police. He said six other soldiers were wounded, some seriously.

"Politicians and world leaders are thanking each other for the successful evacuation of civilians," he said on Telegram, adding that the Ukrainian soldiers"gave their lives for others to enjoy the fresh air."

Another angle on how the Ukraine War started. Russia invaded to protect Eastern Ukrainians from imminent slaughter by Ukrainian Nazis supported by the US.

Russia will bring peace to Ukraine after the Nazis are defeated once again. God bless Russia and its great people.
