A military intelligence group is in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol with the task of evacuating the sailors onboard the Tzarevna ship, Prime Minister Kiril Petkov told parliament. The problem is that the Ukrainian resistance in the port area is detached from its command and has no communication with them. There are 260 metres of battleground between the ship and the evacuation point.

On the morning of April 8, "while talking to the ship's captain, 3 Russian tanks entered the area to attack the hideout of 100 Ukrainian soldiers. One tank was destroyed and the captain cut off the conversation," Petkov said. We are ready in the very first minute, when there is no fighting, to evacuate these people. We have full preparations, the Prime Minister promised.
