all information on the number and personal details of the Ukrainian fighters who left the steel plant will remain confidential and will not be made public, the spokesperson said.
“We will not share publicly the lists or names of people we visited, or those who we visit in the future,” she said.
Hodeib made the remarks when asked how many Ukrainian soldiers from Azovstal, including those wounded, the ICRC has registered so far and whether their lists will be published, a figure that is unknown so far.

Pretty embarrassing for Putin that his Chechen goat shaggers couldn't capture the 500 on their own, especially since it took almost 3 months and Avostal is 40 miles from the Russian border.
Too funny!
ICRC press release before today’s news blackout to help Putin save face:
ICRC registers hundreds of prisoners of war from Azovstal plant

When are they going to visit and report on the Russian POWs?
Putin says there are no Russian POWS in Ukraine.
I hear the numbers are somewhere between 2k-3k. These Ukrainian troops are among the best trained and equipped. That goes for the rest of the troops now encircled by Russia in the east, and when defeated there won’t be much left of the Ukrainian army, which is probably why they aren’t reporting the numbers.
The news media will have a “blackout” to help Putin? WTF drugs are you on.... n00b?
And exactly what type of retard celebrates his side losing an important objective along with an entire city and hundreds of POWs?
Keeping the number of POW’s secret avoids embarrassing questions when they disappear.
ICRC registers hundreds of prisoners of war from Azovstal plant (not thousands)

Peter Maurer, director of the Internation Red Cross is a Putin buttboy.

The Azov POWs sure have a lot of Goat Head tats!

Makes one wonder if this really a war at all...
Note to the RC: If I hadn’t already stopped donating to you, this would do it.
My sources say the number is already over 2k, and these numbers are purposely being downplayed by Ukraine. The troops in the east consist of Azov and the other nationalistic groups and are considered the most motivated, best trained, and equipped. And their loss is considered a major blow to Ukraine, with a demoralizing influence to the rest of the Ukrainian military forces, probably why they want the reported numbers undercounted.
There’s already reports of other Ukrainian forces refusing to fight because of lack of sufficient equipment, and with the loss of these forces in the east, the Ukrainian army left will soon be reduced to a rag tag bunch of guerilla fighters. I guess it’s up to NATO mercenaries to make up the difference. I’m just wondering how they intend to resupply these troops once their stockpiles run out. Moving arms from the western borders eastward will be no easy task. There’s already rumors of Polish troops slowly moving across the border into Ukraine, I guess the next step is attempting to draw NATO in directly, since the prospects of Ukraine being able to push the Russians back by themselves is increasingly diminishing.

Yeah well those numbers are incorrect.
ICRC never releases that information to the public (but does inform families). ICRC policy:

I’m not in the fight over how many, but to be fair ICRC said the process is “still ongoing” so this is not the final count. Patience.
The video link above given by BenLurkin places the current number at 2,500, a number that corresponds with my sources.
