building in freedom square, no less in the center of the eastern city of her cave homes regularly come under fire. now to this is an apartment building in the black sea port, city of her san. and this hockey again, who's guess nobody's really briefly? the russian liberators have come, the man shouts. in the aftermath of tuesdays miss al strike. president followed the man zelinski, addressing the european union called it the price of freedom this morning to peruse may hit this freedom, a square dozen of killed ones. this is the price of freedom. the translators struggles to contain his emotion. what we are fighting versus us will use just for our land and for our freedom 70 ukrainian soldiers died when a military base was targeted by heavy artillery in october. but the veil has fallen

from russia's claims that it's carrying out a special operation aimed purely at military targets. civilians are increasingly fer, gave me, and as night fell, her keys came under heavy attack. again, the change of tactics, a possible consequence of russia's slow moving advance on the ground. satellite imagery shows a column of artillery and armour, logistics, and support units more than 60 kilometers long bearing down on the capital key of from the north. another is advancing from the south. the aim to encircled the capital, intimidate the civilian population, and force the surrender of ukraine's government. western intelligence points to poor communications and frequent mechanical breakdowns. there is

a dog in ukrainian resistance as well captured russian soldiers a set that have been told that they'd be welcomed here as liberators. this is how people actually feel at the heart of it all in the capital key. if attacks have resumed, including on the main television transmitter, cutting public broadcasts, people already eking out an existence in conditions of unimaginable stress. know that worse is to come. and the scramble to leave the city on the few exit roots still available, is growing more desperate by the our little bit deposed to fighting has not yet come to the western city a believe, but they'll be ready for it. if it does civil defense units have formed all over the country and basic training and weapons handling is available for anyone that wants it. they know the time may come when they'll have to fight the russians

themselves for control of their streets. the government says it believes russia is deliberately shelling cities, including residential areas and civilian infrastructure and the goal. it says to create mass panic and civilian casualties. but one thing you don't sense here is panic. instead, the steely determination of ukrainian civilians to resist and fight back the we want to study. we don't want to be afraid. stop the words. the young in ukraine students multicultural, multilingual, joined the chorus for peace, put on bright minds whose ideals until the week ago was still intact, and whose hopes and hogs, now, broken subs who are stuck. jonah, how al jazeera louise was also in louis visit andrew simmons for us this morning. good morning, andrew. why don't you start with the situation?

and that seems to be the most pressing. it certainly does come all the situation. hockey's. the 2nd city of ukraine is critical. it really is, or there are paratroopers reports to be on the outskirts of the city that they were fought. they what preceded that was a colossal or massive blast at the it the military air field, something like 67 kilometers outside the city. it filled the night sky. it was in fact and secondary explosion to the missiles strike, which she took out, a rock hits miss isles bombs. what looked like it almost looked like a nuclear explosion. it was huge. and then the paratroopers were landing something like 34 hours after that more bombardments,

on hoc heave over nights. the latest on the we've heard from the military press office is that there were no deaths in an attack on the military hospital. what near where these proud troopers landed, and there is a hand to hand fighting going on. no news of exactly what status this power trooper invasion of the city. or is that right now, but it would appear earlier on. there was an evacuation of international students running through the rubble of this city. that has been, ren lent, las bombardments up since 12 for the past 36 hours with the a cruise missile hitting the local authority building. at one point, we were also hearing from the city of g tamiya, which was attacked over night. this is a something like up to 200 kilometers outside the capital,

kiva to the west. this is a, an attack at which was apparently intended to hit the military base in this city, but a residential area was hit and we hear that there have been at least 2 civilians killed. 10 private houses were very badly damaged. beyond that, we're seeing now that sir, a number of attacks of actually taken place are only the town of the city of her son, which is on the black sea that's in the south. that's where the crimean force is. the russian crimean forces they are coming and fighting to try to link crimea to the that the, the, the main now the mains ups, mainland, offer ukraine. that's been a really, really big attack. and there's a danger that her saw might fall. also, mary paul,

on the see of as of another big city that's coming under massive strain with continual, bombardments are very ugly picture. russian forces using ever more sophisticated weaponry with causing inflicting more losses and certainly a lot more civilians dying in this invasion. now one week on andrew simmons with an update from the vive and ukraine. thank you. let's hear from the president, shall we are low to mid zalinski. a little early he spoke about what life has been like inside his heavily guarded compound in keith blur can flip it. can you see your family now? no. i can't. when was the last i saw them before this war. and it's one session label, you know, none, nevada's or no 2 days ago to the middle of this one. yeah. and

prior to that, of course, the wednesday made their comments via video linked to the european parliament, our diplomatic editor james bay's reports. now on that or the european parliament, a strong show of support for the people of ukraine. this chamber with many parliamentarians wearing the ukrainian colors was addressed by video link from keith by president zalinski. he had one clear request. ah ha, we're almost as of july, we are fighting for our existence for our survival. and this is the main motivation for us. but we are also fighting to be an equal member of europe. and i think that today we are showing who we are. the european union is with us, with ukraine. the european union will be stronger without ukraine. it'll be lonely . we've proved our strength. we've proved that we're at least the same as you. please prove that you're with us. please prove that you're not going to let us go

prove that you're really, europeans moved. there was strong combination of president who transactions and hulu for to lee. you considers illegal, your charlie and a parent. it's not only you train that's in the attach, international law or spirit international order. democracy, human dignity are also attach. this is joe political, terrorism, pure and simple. the president of the european commission then spoke about the possibility of ukraine joining the european union today. the european union and ukraine are already closer than ever before. there's still a long path ahead. we have to end this war and we should talk about the next steps . but i am sure nobody in this hemi cycle can doubt that the

people that stands up so bravely for our european values belongs in our european family. at the end of the session, the parliament voted overwhelmingly to call on ear institutions to work towards granting ukraine candidate status. but the vote is purely symbolic. it's the european council, the 27 member nations who make the final decision. and then there's a long drawn out process to qualify to become a member. the size of the vote, $637.00 out of $676.00 though an indication of the level of feeling in support of ukraine. here james bays al jazeera at the european parliament in brussels. now the better russian president, alexander lucas shanker, says his troops will not join russia in its fight against ukraine. he was speaking at a meeting of his own security council and said, the southern border is being reinforced. but he said his clothes ally,

russia doesn't need more resources. maybe shank also accused ukraine of planning an attack against bella bruce last week. but she brought it to me. yeah. i mean, thankfully, those guys want us. we had pounded literally thick, fast before a launch. and the russians attacked those muscles, those positions during the russians advancement, entering ukraine. we'd not see those positions anymore. that is why i'm saying yes, there were launches from bella russian territory. and i told you openly what point we target and still a head's on al jazeera, an army of volunteers signed up to resist russia's invasion, offering humanitarian support to those most in need. ah, hello, we got a taste of winter coming in to southeast and parts of europe over the next couple of days. little area cloud here, nasty little area of low pressure,

celsius central part of the might. it's right. and also seeing a few showers and showers very much alive beside many parts of west africa. ah, the frank assessments for china will benefit from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs an upright is on that stable critical debate. widely wouldn't even claims that native constitutes an interest in chill threat to russia, but it's precisely his actions that's rated this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera lou

my husband drove us to the border. we left on february 26th and we travelled for 2 days and we stayed at the board of for 2 days. my husband then went back to fight and i am extremely worried about him. the situation was very unpleasant. we heard very loud explosions. that is why i am here. despite a continuous stream of people trying to leave border guards, check every car thoroughly. people eagerly waiting until the gate to safety will open in front of them. only a few more meters and outside of ukraine, traveling for 4 days, some of them and are mixed emotions. they're grateful that they finally get to safety, but very, very worried about what they're leaving behind. dakota is we leave to find a less chaotic situation. and in the past few days, for the video services, they are not giving up. it's heart, this woman has traveled for 4 days, but she does not need to stay long at the border because the queue is shorter done

before. people seem less exhausted this time, i'm not crying. as you can see. the new dos mission has been accomplished for now, but she will return with more goods as long as rushes. missiles and rockets forced people out of ukraine, steadfast and at the buddha mich bora in eastern poland. very pleased to welcome james elder to al jazeera spokesman for the charity. unicef is on scott from the vive to day james of his one good thing that's coming out of this. it's the unequivocal support for the refugees from everywhere, from people within their own country, from people all over europe. there is absolutely no question about giving them the shelter they need. oh no, it's absolutely spot on. it has been a, a rare moment of attempted to all the hot amid image so much darkness. i, when i been on that road that your course i was showing where it's 50 kilometers
