Presume that that was manufacturing things going to the frontlines to fight the russians. there was an attack here in lviv as well, two su-35 russian fighter jets that were launched from belarus, tried to hit somewhere in lviv, with four cruise missiles and air defense systems here managed to intercept them. and of course, theyre still targeting civilian populations very heavily. kharkiv has seen two days of very intense shelling, where at least seven or eight people have been killed, including ...

It would allowed them to create a land corridor from the russian mainland to the crimea area, so thats why they wanted so badly. and it would be a huge victory for vladimir putin to sell and moscow. but that place is also a cascading humanitarian disaster. and the horrors that are expected to come out of their were made pale to what weve seen in bucha. >> how there was the, thank you so much for your reporting. >> joining us now, retired general mark kimmitt. hes a former assistant secretary for...

Determined to get it this time. where does ukraine stand on that? he is determined to get it and at enormous cost it will finally succeed in overcoming the resistance in mariupol. to me it seems impossible for president zelensky to concede russia now occupies the entire eastern side of the country and somehow ukraine no longer has any rights over that and becomes either dependent or in some way part of russia. i think the kind of conditions that vladimir putin might settle for are those which pr...

Air raid alerts, at least, so people are on edge. in mariupol, russia has offered ukrainian soldiers there the chance to surrender and says their lives will be protected if they do that, if they put down their weapons, wave a white flag and hand themselves over from the steelworks, which has been the scene of a really intense battle over the last few days. im not sure if this is a sign that russia is struggling to complete its takeover of that plant and therefore the city of mariupol, or whether...

Tells me she wants the government to help her find shelter because she cant live here any more. up on the hill, this man shows me where the informal settlement used to be. the floodwaters swept through this area first, and there were people that are also found there as well, right at the top? yeah. wow. there was something like seven people. seven people were found and they were found the siege of mariupol may be nearing its end — with russia issuing a deadline for ukrainian soldiers to surren...
