10:04 am
its targets to take it in the west of the country, the 2 untouched by this war. and all of that coming in light of warnings that were made just 24 hours ago on saturday by russia's deputy foreign minister said guy, you re up calls who talked about these convoys of foreign weapons being brought into the conflict in ukraine. donations by countries like the u. s. germany. so you many others convoys of weaponry, anti tang cantier cross weaponry coming across much of it. there is points on the polish border. he said these call these convoys were, quote dangerous, and would be considered legitimate targets. so potentially, this is a warning sign that is now underway to the targeting of military convoys troubling lee of course as well. these corridors are not just used for military age . they are also used by hundreds of thousands of ukrainians fleeing the board are becoming refugees and heading into europe last on

10:06 am
difficult, a lot of coaxes local, just lying in the streets. let's cross over to keith and bring an iran con to tell us what happens and keep overnight and run while there were attacks on a convoy coming in to the city now for they keep authorities getting people out of those boarded towns which are under intense shelling by russian forces is now the party, some of those towns, boucher and a pin. according to a lot of military analysts, especially a few the i've spoken to suggest that the russians want to take those 2 towns and other towns surrounding them that links them up on the outskirts of care. they'll be able to then use that as a staging post for an attack on the capital city itself. people fleeing those places are coming into kiva central station. and the stories that we're hearing are absolutely harrowing. however, i was a slightly more concerning for medical staff. it is the psychological trauma being
10:07 am
faced by people coming out of those areas. let's take a closer look. a desperate scramble to get on a train out of keith. but most of these people aren't residents of the capitol. they've come from places like being and butcher on the outskirts of people, places that have seen the worst of the war so far in this region. they sit in shocked silence. women like svetlana still trying to understand what they've seen of detail in those numbers are home was destroyed. an explosion blew up the windows doors and everything. all the people who lived in the building ran to the basement . we moved to another part of the city to find a friend's house, but bombardments continued even there. the russian tags kept firing at our houses, and this is walter flame. andre's, a volunteer coordinator at the central station. his job is to make sure those

10:09 am
station. besides what few belongings they can carry, they also carry the horrors of what they witnessed, unsure. also, when they might see their home again, whether that home will still be standing. now here in key one of the big problems is getting supplies in to the city and getting them on to shelves. now, getting supplies in has been ok so far, according to the authorities, they say they're not running out yet, but getting people to actually stop their shows. and man, those who park is becoming problem because this city is nearly 50 percent evacuated already. and as you saw in that report, anybody that's coming in is b a is actually leaving. keep numbskull, get out the way i just show you the street scene right now. again, very very em gianni. a few calls out on the streets. this is very much a city that is preparing for an invasion when night invasion might come,
