Here's the Lenta.ru report from 8th March stating that the maternity hospital in Mariupol was evacuated in late February and then usd by the Azov battalion. Use Google translate to translate from Russian into English. The relevant paragraphs state:

He has not been in contact with his parents since the evening of March 5. Then his mother said that it was not possible to leave on the evacuation buses - they just sat down, when the military approached and said that it was not safe to move along the humanitarian corridor. The indignant people received butts in the face, for warning, people in uniform shot into the air

Igor said that in the last days of February, people in uniform came to the maternity hospital where his mother works. He does not know whether they were fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the nationalist battalion "Azov" (banned in the Russian Federation). The military knocked down all the locks, dispersed the staff of the maternity hospital, and set up firing points in the building in order, as they explained to the doctors, to prepare the “fortress of Mariupol” for defense. The reaction of the military to objections is standard: blows with rifle butts, shooting into the air.

The #Russians bombed a building that was evacuated as a hospital in late February and then occupied by the #AzovBattalion. That's what a citizen from Mariupol says in this interview yesterday: https://t.co/HoQHCeRIkx
