12:03 pm
the last military exercises that took place there involved the 15 countries they took place a few months ago. at the end of 2021 and included soldiers from other countries like the united states and the u. k. in order to try and train ukrainian forces. it is also a bass, which is only about 15 kilometers away from the border with poland, poland, and a country. and this is really now the closest attack that has been carried out by russian forces to a nation country to nato border. and natasha. i mean, with this attack, it is the western most attack as you're saying. so it looks like question is moving its focus to the west of the country. do we know why what it is clear that russia is really whitening its scope in this war to include
12:04 pm
now parts of the west before the fighting. and the attacks, mainly the north in the east and the south of the country. there was also over night, as well as i thought to talk to y'all reef as another attack on an i feel that yvonne frank, it's not that is the 2nd attack on that field in south west in ukraine. in the past few days, there was one was the beginning of the invasion, but what we understand now from ukrainian officials is that f field is pretty much completely destroyed. and then in the north of the country, the city of north west of the country, i should say, the city of notes where we were there on saturday. we were speaking to the man who had just presided over the funeral of 2 ukrainian soldiers who had been killed during a russian missile strike on an airfield just outside the city of russian strikes. now, a targeting military basis seems in the west for the time being, but it is why so many people, of course, in this region here in the city of the leave for example, it has become
12:05 pm
a real hub for people fleeing other parts of ukraine. either to seek refuge here in the vive, or move on across the board to poland, to reach the poem and the other part of the european union. there are hundreds of thousands of people here who all internally displaced to all wanting to move on. it is also a hub for some of the foreign conflicts, for example. so there is a real concern about these attacks that are coming ever closer. all right, thank you so much and talk about la reporting from the even western ukraine. let's look at the situation elsewhere. in the country and russian forces are pushing forward to a circle, keep ukrainian military officials say a combo of people trying to flee. a village near the capital was attacked on saturday, killing 7, including a child. the city of mario, poland. the south continues to be targeted by russian strikes. civilians have been fighting for the last for the few supplies left on ukraine's. president says

12:07 pm
was able to save them. these people here are desperate for help. there are thousands and thousands of families trapped in the city who are running out of water. and then at that point what you do even our team, the international red cross team that is in mario poll. they've effectively run out of water and they're telling us, okay, now we go to a stream and collect water, we boil it, we drink it. well, how do tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people do that? especially if you're elderly. these satellite pictures, show industrial and residential buildings, flattened fires, still burning, ukraine's foreign minister dmitri aqua says russia wants to capture the city at any cost. mario poll is crucially important for russia, because if they seize control over the city, they will establish and direct land quarter to,
12:08 pm
to crimea from. and they will also cut us off from access to other c. this is why we store fiercely and heroically defended. and this is why russia so ruthlessly trying to destroy the cd and capture it at any cost. ukraine says it will not surrender or retreat and attempt to reach people trapped in the city will continue young e and the solace of a watch me. we will try to morrow again to evacuate people from mario polls. we will again do it tomorrow in front of the whole world in front of to petitions and leaders in front of the entire planet earth. but for now, these buses remain full of aid, but empty of people who want to leave leo harding al jazeera. and then he, pearlin central ukraine is hell,

12:10 pm
his spirits were high. it's difficult to describe the loss. hard to express. the army didn't change him. he was the same. he was very kind perhaps on being pathetic, but he definitely loved life. sounds ironic, now visit in for the music lensky says about $1300.00 service men have lost their lives so far. but key ukrainian cities remain surrounded, as russia seems to be expanding its target around the country. it's might take longer because the ukrainian armies actually putting up a fight. but it seems that the russian strategy is to surround cities like how to keep in the north east. all mar you pull in the south, besieged them and bring them down to their knees. before continuing the advance and people here are leaving because they feel that the pro could be next. denise pro was targeted for 2 days straight for his rock, his coming from the east,

12:17 pm
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 linked them up on the outskirts of kia, they'll be able to then use that as a staging post for an attack on the capital city. it's so people fleeing those places are coming in to keep the central station and the stories are that we're hearing are absolutely harrowing. however, i was slightly more concerning for medical staff, it is the psychological trauma being 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,
12:18 pm
abdel in that numbers. our home was destroyed. an explosion blew up the windows doors and everything. all the people who lived in the building round to the basement. we moved to another part of the city to find a friend's house, but the bombardments continued even there. the russian tanks kept firing at our houses. and this is water flame. ah, andre's, a volunteer coordinator at the central station. his job is to make sure those fleeing from outside to keep can get help. most he says show visible signs of psychological trauma. our priority now is a hot line. it's air being is a voucher is a. busy vazo, it's a gastorm and this line. okay. and are actually day out really shocked by all these things happening are they didn't expect the russian army to hit civilians to hit their, to it in houses. and they never believed it. but they really honor
12:19 pm
a fire. undoubted sex is destroyed. good houses, many people's cue. the cities already 50 percent evacuated. most of those people actually left in the early days of the war. the priority now is to get people from other front lines like mutual like a pain in to keith and then into this station and get them out. in many ways keep central station has become evacuation central station tis of relief and sadness as the train leaves the 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 stanley emron con our desert keep central station, or francis there has been no breakthrough in efforts to convince russia to end its war in ukraine. the french president, many one micron, the german chancellor allow sold spoke to the russian president vladimir putin on the phone for more than an hour. they are
12:20 pm
a chain to declare an immediate cease fire in ukraine as a full cont, as a condition for full negotiations. it's the 2nd time the leaders have tried to broker a deal in the past week. the u. s. has announced its sending another $200000000.00 worth of weapons to ukraine and bills on the significant shipments at sent and lead up to the war. and on thursday, the us congress approved an additional $13600000000.00 and emergency aid for ukraine. alan fisher and washington d. c. explains what weapons the ukrainians are. prioritizing you as president joe biden is at camp david this we can, but we are told he is keeping across all developments in ukraine and he approved the release of these weapons. now the ukrainians had been asking for javelin anti tank and stinger anti aircraft missiles. we expect them to be in this batch that is released along with a significant amount of small arms at these will come from existing
12:21 pm
u. s. military stock, which means that they don't have to wait for the manufacturer to deliver them and then be moved on to ukraine. this, these can go almost immediately, and this is the 3rd time in 3 months that the u. s. military has done that part of $1200000000.00 and military aid that the u. s. has provided since january 2021. that's important, of course, because that's when joe biden became president. no secretary of state antony lincoln has praised the ukrainian, seeing that they are showing great skill. i'll will, i'm providing courage and we know that congress is very much in support of what is happening in a tone in a city and a country that can be so often divided on party lines. there was bipartisan support just a few days ago when congress approved $13600000000.00 in aid to ukraine. but this $200000000.00. the next step for you as support of ukraine in the face of this russian onslaught. well,
12:22 pm

12:23 pm
and according to again, the formation we have to be bringing sources that most civilian to ministry who having children been attacked, they follow us. russians kind of warning today to go that convoys supply or assistance from outside the grade would be. ready legitimate targets, of course, not legitimate targets because, you know, russia has not even declared a war lecture long having any right. ready basically how, how you train the tenant itself. so in terms of, you know, international. ready another example of russia do you know, doing things which are totally in violation of every single no. okay. i mean, for give it a simplified question here, but, but why is russia targeting this space? well, it's one to send a signal, obviously a message, and i don't mean all right, and secondly, i know russia is very warrior because it's not winning the war. in j. c. crane is actually suffering very heavy losses. there's been some good news from you. raise
12:24 pm
point of view around, you know, situation one, here. it's army has shown it's out to be in that it's the table only off, you know, basically firing and killing. i'm really civilians. so this is, this is actually quite desperate, but it is a dangerous, of course, attempts to escalate down to the reaction of other countries. i think, you know, it's, it's something which is, which has to be taken very seriously. various capitals, alphabetically, nato countries. but at the same time, you know, i hope that this is not actually seen as a reason to disconnect, helping ukraine because a deserves it. and it makes a difference on the graph. russia actually, if i say i let me repeat, it is not scoring. success is on emitted from bucket. but how, how do you think nato countries will be looking into this? you say that this heightens tensions going forward? so, how do you see the some playing out?
12:25 pm
well of course i'm, you know, i'm not speaking in an official capacity. am i? but you know, the one that has been clear, you know, crystal clear. even our statements very recent, even pay for it. and our country backs, ministry defense to brain will continue by whatever is the right way to do it. and i'm not going to get, he's always on and plays a role how that countries as well. but also if you look at a public opinion, major countries i've been involved in yesterday they did before in germany, in italy and better number of people watch. yeah. saying we would like to even introduce an offline and certainly continue with the same supply to great has grow . so, you know, it's also a question of additions reacting perhaps to this well, revise the russian actions that have, you know, we have to get kind of even profit. but it's, you know, but this is serious decisions on all, you know,
12:26 pm
