From what I have gathered from the several verified Ukrainian reporters I follow (as well as other strategists etc) is this.
250+ Azov casualties had been ordered to surrender so they could be evaquated as a prisoner swap deal had been arranged.
53 of the casualties needed urgent medical attention and taken where they can recieve it.
The remainder of the Azov regiment (and others) remain in place as negotiations for their evacuation, possibly to a third Country for the remainder of the conflict, continue.
As always in a conflict zone there are always mixed messages from either side for different reasons. We'll know in a few days.
