ah, cool, ah, a military column, 64 kilometers long as russian forces edge, closer to the outskirts outskirts of ukraine's capital. ah, i'm come all santa maria here and done her without continuing coverage on al jazeera of the russia ukraine. this is ukraine's 2nd biggest city being shelled as russian forces unleash a wave of artillery attacks on residential areas in ta keith. but they're fighting

back on the ground. we're going to hear from volunteers supporting the soldiers defending ukraine against russian forces and also back home after escaping the war . students sharing their trauma, as they returned from ukraine, will have an update from the delhi. ah, you cry now into it's 6 day under attack from russia and moscow's forces are edging ever closer to the capital. keith, the convoy about 64 kilometers long was believed to be positioned north of the capitol. stretching to the town of yvonne give it's been seen in new satellite imagery released by a private american company, a column of ahmed vehicles, tanks and artillery. in some cases about 25 kilometers from keith. here's some of the other developments to take you 3 more than 70 ukrainian soldiers have been killed by russian shilling. this was at a military base in the northeast,

according to local officials. in khaki, russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs. these are banned in more than a 100 countries. the mayor of the cities, as dozens of people have been killed, including children and bluffs could be heard in keep on monday. the kidney president thought amid zalinski, called for a no fly zone to stop moscow's of bombardments and the international criminal court is to investigate russia's invasion, saying there are reasons to believe war crimes have been committed. also negotiations to stop the fighting day started and concluded on monday with no agreements and re simmons starting things with this report from the fif. ah, lethal actually speaks louder than words. this is the message, russia sentences their delegates were talking with ukraine negotiators. civilians attacked in their homes over 90, ukrainian, or authorities report deaths and scores of injuries in hoc heave attacks. targeted

civilian areas in and around ukraine's 2nd city. they appeared to include cluster munitions ah, by nightfall. on monday the capital key of came under heavy russian bombardment. just as the talks were winding up for the day. cranium in the russian delegations today held the 1st round of talks. the main aim of reach was to discuss the cease fire and the sation of hostilities in the territory of ukraine, each of so that the river. the negotiations lasted approximately 5 hours, during which time we went in detail through every point on the agenda. we found a few points that we can use as a prognosis about joint positions. and the most important is that we agree to continue the process of the negotiations. the negotiations held on the bell roost ukraine boarder lasted 5 hours. there were no breakthroughs. however,

the 2 sides agreed to continue talking in a 2nd session. if anything, the fighting has worsened, shifts not before the talk started. vladimir zalinski called on the e u to allow his country to join the block and sign that accession document while destroyed or not, he had made another defiance. let me stay more mitchell on the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the people of ukraine. we stand strong, but we've lived through that much over the past days. what other people wouldn't experience and decades net. ah, in the south of ukraine where russian forces have advanced and taken the city of burg, jensen. these are civilians surrounding russian military vehicles. they shouted go home to the troops. such defiance and solidarity is seen all over ukraine. wow. it every child in every city, there is

a determination, a resolve to help the war effort in any way people can. a steady stream of donated supplies for the army is being handed over to this voluntary organization in levine. it's helpers who are students don't believe russia is interested in peace. they're still fighting us. they're still launching their brackets there on our tertiary and the talks are going on. so i said, impossible have taught said while fighting for upstairs donated, medical supplies and drugs all day checked, a processed and local stores ensure they meet a constant demand for soldiers, boots. i and my colleagues are doing all the best here in a safe place to a collect other help from ukraine answered from ukrainians and foreigners all around the world. but no matter how strong the resolve of ukrainian forces might be,

these satellite images are now showing an armored column to the north west of kia and its edging closer to the capital. now, only 20 kilometers from the city center. and we'll get more now with enter his life in the very close to that poland border just to pick up on the end of your report there as the russian forces get closer and closer to keith. but you know, this is across the country, isn't it? as well, the, the intensity is ramping up everywhere. ah, it certainly is hockey. the 2nd city is getting the worst of it right now. in fact, only hours ago, an attack, a rocket attack on the local administration. building in the sent for the city. really, really rock the city or however, fortunately, there are few people in injured nobody dead at this stage reported because so many

people in that city are sheltering below ground as the reason. now this clearly was not a military targets just as 24 hours previously, there was no military involvement on the ground in a civilian area, which was attacked by rockets reportedly also attacked by cluster munitions, horrendous scenes, a lot of people just fighting for their lives. now in the hospital, ah, one lady who, whose legs were blown off very fast action on the ground to put toner case in place . but sadly, she's since died. and also the mare of hock, heave reports that 3 children died, burned to death in a car that was hit by the blast, this just a civilian area. however, on monday there was a devastating military attack in the northeast of the country. that's about midway

between the huck heath and keith. this was a military barracks where 17 soldiers, 70 ukrainian soldiers died in this blast. whether it was a miss all or not isn't clear, but it was a devastating direct hit on that base. and it's the ukrainian defense ministry that's giving these numbers some of the highest number of deaths since this invasion began. and so we're, we're seeing now a pattern of, of really putting the targeting not just on the military targets increasingly on civilian areas. clearly plainly targeting civilian areas. and so it's getting more and more critical by the moment. and satellite imagery we've been viewing is showing that a really large armored column is heading from the north into the capitol that started off at 30 kilometers long now estimates at 64 kilometers long,

the front of it, only 17 kilometers from the center of keith. and yet, andrew, there was criticism, i think i can use that word that actually this russian advance in the last 5 or 6 days has not been as well successful as russia might have light. that actually they haven't really met their objectives as we might have expected. undoubtedly, all righty. all right there, there are a whole range of, of lines of evidence that show the ukrainians will to fight exceeds the expectations of so many, not just russians, the russian military, but also western capitals are really, really engrossed in assessing their hit rates. and it's extraordinary when he consider the type of weaponry they're using. i mean,

they're even getting donations of flights of warplanes from eastern europe, still eastern european states. 70 more planes donated by bulgaria by poland and also by slovakia these are mostly mig fighter jets. but if you look at the way they're operating, they're operating in small units, they're having devastating effects on some of these columns. however, the extent of this, this big arm and column we're seeing now progressing slowly with the munitions supplies, with her feel tense for hospitals. everything an army would need to encircle a city and her and cause a siege is within that convoy. but it's, there's also a convoy from the south as want one coming in from the west. that is actually the one coming in for the west has been attack repeatedly and it's been slowed down.

and so the yes to your question, they are exceeding expectations. and russia undoubtedly expected a more of a lightning invasion. more of quick, quick up very, very quick targeting to get to the end result. and that was to take the capital. they are some way from doing that, although they are on the move and they are targeting on a wider basis, hitting civilian areas. ok, thanks andrew simmons for that update from the v. and we'll be talking more about that russian response with an analyst at shortly. i do want to just move to some developing use related to ukraine, and that is the 10s of thousands of foreign students trapped in ukraine following the invasion. many of them have been told by the governments just to, well get out of the country leading to cues, train stations, the largest group of foreign students comes from india, ran 800000 studying in ukraine. some of them have now made it back home. so let's go to poverty metalli's in new delhi. in fact,

is that the 1st people starting to arrive behind g yes, they did. in fact, just a few minutes ago, they were 100 this to lose exhausted, buttery leave. just walked out of those gates as part of the many flights that the indian government has been operating from neighboring countries like poland and hungary, and romania. you know, there are 1000 still suck over there. remember, indians are the largest group of fords. students in new played most of them are studying medicine. now we spoke to some students and some parents over here. in fact, one of the people we spoke to was a student who arrived yesterday and was back at the airport today to receive her brother. and she told us that the toughest part of the entire arduous journey was the board of crossing, you know, as we speak. there are 2 thousands of indians to talk at these border crossings. and david edging manhandling, bi board officials,

we've seen really disturbing. 8 videos of them of being physically manhandled by officials over there. now back in india there austin several families. i mean thousands of families that are not able to get in touch with the. 2 with students with their children over there. remember, these are foreigners, you know, these are young people. they don't have much money. they've been pitching in taking private buses to our long, jo hours, long journey to these border crossings are not able to get in touch with their families and they don't have enough supplies. they have been trying to get in touch with the embassy. now the government has sent top ministers as on voice to these countries to these border crossings, to try and manage the situation. we're also learning that the government is planning to deploy defense air carriers to speed up the evacuation process. okay, thank you. have the name. it's out in new delhi and let's check in with

a managers in a butcher as well. latest word on nigerian students getting home. well, we've spoken with some of them since last night. we've been on the phone with some of them and this morning too. and yes, today we spoke with the minister affording it, says your free or young man, who said that the evacuation process will begin to morrow. well, more than a 1000 students are already in be christ and romania, and they expect more by the way, i spoke to the bus this morning and they expect 2 more and more people coming in from the borders. now the minister is talking about 40 kilometers stretch of queues, trying to leave ukraine on the polish border. not much, not very, not as much as the the numbers we've seen in be christ. that arriving in portland because of the stringent measures that didn't minister told us that they have here the government was in touch with the romanian with the polish and the korean

government expression that displeasure with the cases of racism at the borders which they showed that they will tackle immediately one of the ministers was in fact i showed that i didn't government that the government policies that everyone wants to leave should be allowed to leave and made that clear to the border guards . that's the position right now. and the minister added that they are designating for airport in europe. one of them, the biggest, of course will be in romania. wow. most of the nigeria and i'd like to we will be taken off to nigeria. and right now what we hear is that a lot of people are really, really desperate to leave where they are, a lot of them on buses last night. some of them well praise we spoke, but they couldn't graduate interview. and from what i hear from the voices and from the statements they made the making, they are really desperate. some of them are really distraught beyond consolation.

they're talking about violence and mitigated violence, deliberate targeting of civilian areas, as well as a racism in the hands of police and other officials in ukraine and especially at the polish border. thank you. managers, so that up that from a boucher let's return to russia's military advance. dimitri babich with us now from moscow. he's a political analyst at ross. yes. the build new and we thank you for your time to meet treat. you may have heard what i was talking about without corresponding earlier the talk that russia perhaps hasn't made the gains it would have liked to have in the 1st 5 or 6 days of the conflict. would you agree with that? well, i think that no one in russia boarding the very few people who are aware of these before i start the plan that no one ever thought that you can

have time to control the country, the size of the rain. let me remind you that it was that if the media and go on republic inside the soviet union and one now the population is smaller because of the other issue of this country on the government often i want but it's you know, less than 3839 people, a big country like that you come from bullets within a week or even within 2 weeks. so no one expects to be a very easy oh and bryce. oh, but i think the main focus of events over here is the negotiation. the negotiation with the ukranian government, i think the niecy, a lot of people in russia were shot by president would use decision, but next day we saw president zelinski, who said he was ready when you go to state brain. and everyone here was all the

google and say yes, yes, you know, if you said these words neutral stage is just a week ago, knocking off the bus and in 2 hours, missed it yesterday and again with the rest and you have a mess with it. so they started having talks with them that was yesterday on the, on the been a russian border. i don't think anyone had particularly high hopes for that and they say they will keep talking. there isn't the problem with any sort of talks, is that the things which both sides want are so entrenched and are such big picture, particularly from the russian side. the russians demands about sir nato expansion. that's big picture while the ukrainians just want the war to stop. well i believe me rations also one for one because we have the state with your brain for 400 years. there apartment bolts that you see on the picture when you see the

ukrainians teachers bomb. these are the same apartment books, we have all the russian media. and so i have relatives. so was russians want this one? not less than ukrainians. and during these negotiation, the russians, the russians, i waited up by 3 o'clock in the morning. it was rather the brilliant leave and was slow in arriving. and in that position, i think what is required, the russian side is no evil and you don't stay just for your brain was actually bringing in my mind to vary to interrupt me about it. if you're saying that the russian, people want this war over as well, because they've got family in ukraine as well. and i completely take that point. but russia has got a leader who doesn't want this war to stop who is,

had these troops sitting there for a month and is clearly plan this whole event. there is a massive disconnect there between the russian people and the russian leadership. well i think the picture you on the part of the west media was very important elements for 8 years. there was a war in the great had been a boar i think the pictures person in the east of the congress. so rock deep from respect, you know, what's going on right now. sorry to make sure i think we lost you just there for a 2nd. your picture, your picture 1st briefly. just so you know what we are waiting to go to geneva at some point because there's going to be a meeting of the united nations human rights council and the foreign minister. so guy love has chosen to go there in person to speak. you think that's quite

significant that he wants to go and address these concerns which the world has in person. i think he wants to go there. as far as i know, there are programs that you were being union, then the goals, guys to rush and bleed. so i'm not immediately sure we'll get there. you know, bob, i'm absolutely sure if he wants to go, it wants to present the russian position again. why? no rush at all? is there the rational perspective? what was, why don't you bring despise the different less than one because the west ignored the civil war. you've been going on for a year when you bring it to the body. the to russian speaking regions will be east of ukraine. there were also both destroyed and they continued to be destroyed until recently,

when the u. k. and it was way from when you have gone by the russia groups and by the local. so russians are very aware, even when your brain warning, your brain started much earlier than thank you, was a 1000 k, dimitri babich with us from moscow today. thank you for your time. just as i was speaking to meet to demetria got word that said we are probably not going to hear from sir gala for off in this hour. perhaps later in the day when we'll hear some sort of news conference from the you and hcr in geneva will 6 days into this invasion and russian ground forces have been in bouncing on several fronts. the 2nd city of car here, which you've heard about as endure the fierce as bombardment so far. dozens of civilians killed further south. the mayor of maria poll says the port city is under constant shelling as well. and russian forces have taken nearby towns and ground forces are pushed up from crimea as well all the way up to her son was russian
