Fewer people evacuated than planned from Ukraine's Mariupol - regional governor

Fewer buses than planned were able to reach civilians in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol on Wednesday and not many people were evacuated, the regional governor said. Donetsk Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko was speaking after Mariupol's mayor said on Wednesday morning that he hoped 90 buses would be able to enter the city and take out about 6,000 trapped women, children and elderly people.

"People of course gathered at the agreed meeting points, but few of them got onto the buses," he said, providing no figures.
