12:02 pm
of, of the situation in the cost region is difficult to understand. 28 such a minute. so on the enemy control was what somebody said on the, on the bus, the bus, the, there was no clay front line. and the problem we have is understanding where the enemy combat units on thousands of ukrainian troops, ram through the russian border last week into the coast region with tanks of vehicles that have now advanced into neighboring belgrade. ukraine says it controls about a 1000 square kilometers. that's an area bigger than new york city, around coast alone. the surprise attack, expose the weakness of russian border defenses in the area. president, for a lot of them is a landscape who only acknowledge the incursion over the weekend says ukraine will offer schuman to terry and assistance to if actually he's on the ukrainian side of the board. and the russian army is scrambling to contain the breach and has been
12:03 pm
forced to call in reserves. it has with these images of what it says, strikes on ukrainian tanks in cost. but 14 says most goes on me, will prevail. a city of, of symbols, they're giving people, i'm sure it appears that the enemy was the help of the west and must as is fulfilling the will on the west as pricing as with the hands of the ukrainians. going to that, but i mean, when you see the enemy will get a decent response and all goes will be achieved. the meanwhile, russian volunteers are distributing humanitarian aids to evacuate ease, arriving at temporary accommodations, making them painfully aware of the impacts of a role that protein has tried to shield them from shore. while ago i spoke with our correspondence on your father in ukraine's catholic team. i asked her about the latest developments in the war country. we've had a number of i read
12:04 pm
a lot of 12 tonight and really would be continued into the morning here in the cafeteria. keith, as well as in many regions of ukraine. um, i really don't think a lot of people here got a lot of sleep last night. we're going in the ukraine and media that russia carries out beside. and it strikes overnight, a targeting infrastructure in suite that is the northern region and ukraine. the board of the coast region where you're creating troops, the carrying of this incursion, the emergency services on the site, we don't know the extent of the damage. but ministry officials hilde are also saying that overnight russia launched with this to gave me messiahs and dozens of sha had goals. many of them were reportedly shut down. i think this was fault of ukraine, of course, bracing for retaliation from russia of to it's kind of surprised incursion into that. uh, coast commodities. ukraine's political and military leaders say about the push into russia, sonya willing to sign offices or just
12:05 pm
how big the scale of this inclusion is. we heard yesterday from ukraine stop. i'm going to take a bundle and extend the 50. and he said that the queen all controls 1000 square kilometers in the cost region. he's also said that offensive operations there are continuing. we've had several reports suggesting that causes of you creating troops and tanks and 7 ukrainian. we looked at the data now involved in this operation. we heard from president vilicki as when last night he in his evening address. he has to be, you don't acknowledge the offensive and said the operation course is, is a real catastrophe for presidents. 14. now, is that lensky hasn't said much about the kind of goals and motives behind this incursion. he's kind of formed it as a way of pushing the wall back into the a graceless territory. he's talked about rusher having used the coast region to launch, you know, more than 2008 little strikes on you created territory this summer. and he's, you know, said that this is about
12:06 pm
a responding to that. and this is about bringing the wall closer home to russian to ordinary ukrainians. make this development. sonya, how do they feel about their country's troops now fighting inside russia to one of the symbolic level. i think this incursion and costs could certainly great for ukraine's more all. now, did you credit into the i've spoken to ensure in keys. many of them seem almost taken aback of by this kind of shift in the one that attends off to get a month to bad news and setbacks on the battlefield. this will be trading its own. this is something we've also heard from residents of the northern you paid in region of to me with a resident southern evacuated because of the ongoing fighting in the neighboring coast region. and i think one of the main talking points here, among ordinary premiums is really kind of the pilots and supplies elements around this incursions. this is in shop con, costs of the highly publicized need up to the you don't for you to do creating
12:07 pm
count defensive law skills. so i think this is certainly welcome use of where you play sonya, thank you. that was our correspondence. sony public, a in ukraine's capital key. now several e u countries including france and italy are sending assistance to help greek authorities. combat wildfires encroaching on athens, firefighters of uncovered the body of a woman in a burnt out factory in and out. in suburb the health industry confirms dozens of people were injured. is the claim spread rapidly. fire cheese say they are no longer battling a single fire, but rather many localized places, tire neighborhoods, north of the capital they've been evacuated. the residents could only watch as huge flames and call this warehouse one of several properties destroyed in the massive fi a matching towards the greek capital via cruise. the
12:08 pm
working frame typically to battle the plays with people pitching into help wherever possible. i like what are we trying to save all the houses around and apart from ours, it's a difficult situation. the firefighters and everyone here trying their best. the thing is you can't fight nature as magically split up as, as i get. so the but i'm not in the house next door. the trees were on fire. i don't know what happened because we were told to leave, but the situation is tragic but significant. you can 6 smoke names, residents can only hear and not see. even nearby helicopters working dislikes the fine is strong winds. intended dry conditions have made bet. lang, the blaze is specially tricky. with flames stretching, moving 25 maces high in some places. june
12:09 pm
and july with the hottest month either recorded in greece, which also recorded its rule mister winter either. the fire is estimated to have been through about $10000.00 hic diaz of land, an area illogic. then manhattan health is on its way from several e u. countries from italy and the check for public are among those seeming equipment and assistance. thousands of residents remain on standby as the fi, a 3 times more homes. and several athens hospitals being prepared to take casualties or correspondence. so if you had left talk is covering the story and joins us now from athens. so if you, what's the situation with the fires today, it's this situation remains crucial. i'm right
12:10 pm
now in the least you have the most affected areas where several houses, cars are burned down, you can see it behind me. and as we speak, assets are still falling down. uh so the situation is still uh, crucial. however, um most affected areas as we speak are put under control. but as the fire is not completely pulled out, everyone remains on high alert. and also there was a warning, especially for the upcoming hours where the winds are expected to stay as they are right now. very strong or even stronger. so um everything is still uh tends. um, what i see here in boucher is that people that have been evacuated yesterday and this morning starts coming back to their houses to check the damage and to see if their houses and homes are still there. are people generally following evacuation orders uh, what's being done to assist evacuated as well?
12:11 pm
what we saw and especially yesterday is the people even those ones were a warrant and, and sent the text messages to evacuate. didn't evacuate immediately for several reasons. many of them wanted really to wait until they saw the flames literally in front of their homes. others wanted to see if the situation is that serious. mary told us they want to protect the properties. they do not know where to leave and they don't want to leave. and we see uh, we saw people that were struggling to protect their homes themselves. either they told us they were calling for help us. no one came. that was a lot of criticism on that, so this is also a reason they didn't evacuate immediately. now the help they get, they were um there's several evaluation centers set up. then there are a volunteers and local organizations providing the water food, basic medical chairs, a shelter of course,
12:12 pm
because they haven't been informed officially to come back to their um houses and of course transportation for those ones who don't have their own transportation. now several european countries are sending equipment and teams to help grease bottle the fire. so if you will, this help arrived soon enough to make a difference. yes and no. um, if we, if we talk about uh, the situation that it's, that most of the problems are under control. um we, we could say that it could have been sooner. however, if we take into consideration that the troops are exhausted, the crews on the ground are exhausted. so additional manpower and equipment is very, very crucial at this moment. and of course the challenge will be in the next hours and days to coordinate those resources effectively. so if your thank you very much for your reporting, that was sophia cliff talkie, in athens,
