Meanwhile, reports claimed Ukraine and Russian forces are involved in a fierce battle in the eastern Donbas region even as Kharkiv regional governor said Ukraine's forces have been counterattacking.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his forces would continue to attack Russian positions under siege including Mariupol with the Azovstal plant under Russian fire.
Ukraine said the Azovstal plant has come under "massive artillery and air strikes". The civilians in the area were earlier evacuated with the help of the United Nations and the Red Cross, however, reports claim several Ukrainian soldiers held up at the steel plant have been injured as the Azov regiment urged they be evacuated.
