western ukraine. natasha butler is joining us and the senate also looks like the russians are, are starting to focus on western ukraine in particular. yes, you her don't a whole touch on that quite extensively. or there is he was reporting from the sight of that military base. so here in la viva, we're not far from the polish border. there were a sirens again this morning overnight or another night broken by a sirens that lasted at least 3 hours here. we now know that those sirens and arrow warnings were all connected to that attack on that military base because that phase is only about 3040 kilometers north of this city. now, the mayor of levine has said a short while ago to some of the casualties. some of the injured from that attack are being brought to hospitals here in the city. and all this, as you can imagine, is really bringing this war a lot closer to people here in the vive,

in western ukraine, a part of the country that has been relatively shielded until now for many the attacks and the fighting that we've seen mainly in the north, the east and the south, but in the past few days, things do seem to be shifting and changing. russia does seem to be targeting a number of areas, particularly military sites in the west. we saw that overnight. again, yvonne frank is astounded about a the southwest i should say from the vive, an airport as strip i should say was a shelter there. the 2nd attack in just a few days in the north west of the country outside of las looked square. we were there in that city. on saturday we spoke to the men he had just attended a funeral for 2 ukrainian soldiers who were killed along with 2 other of their colleagues at an air base outside of that north western city. the mare said, look, people are not panicking here for the time being, but there is certainly a sense of danger encroaching if you like. people are feeling

a lot more uncomfortable and the fact that we are so close to the polish for just out of time taking so taking place so close to poland, a nato member. we know that a lot of nathan hardware, military equipment is coming in over that border into ukraine as well as humanitarian aid. that is very wiring indeed watching deputy prime minister said. and some of those convoys could possibly be legitimate targets. well, it seems that they could already be so. all right, thank you so much for faster. butler reporting from the v robert cell as a senior fellow at the customer polanski foundation in poland. he's also a former nato official. he says russia attack on every military base is a warning message. it is actually one of the largest tax. i mean the summations that one can be very sources right now. as we speak is that, you know, there's a search and they find some of them. maybe they're even more, some of them are actually shut down. and you know, this is

a well known international peacekeeping center before the russian invasion. i think the us national got guess from florida actually working that and and according to again. ready information we have from, from previous sources that most civilian can ministry who have been killed. and this follows russians kind of warning 2 days ago that you know, convoys supply or assistance from outside your grade would be a legitimate target. but of course, not make it to my target because russia has not even declared a war legend on having any right. ready so basically how, how you train defend itself. so in terms of international, this is another example of russia just, you know, doing things which are totally into violation of every single know of international law. it's one defendant signal, obviously a message. and i don't know if i can be russia is very worried because it's not

winning the war in a crate. and it's actually suffering very have been some good news from the point of view around, you know, situation want to hear its army has shown itself to be next. it's the table only off, you know, basically firing killing primary civilians. let's take a look at what's happening in other parts of the country and russian forces are pushing into areas around keith, ukrainian, and military officials say a combo people trying to flee. a village near the capital was attacked on saturday, killing 7, including a child. the city of mario for the south continues to be targeted by russian strikes. civilians have been fighting for the few supplies that are left ukraine's president says, whose government is trying to get aid into this city. the new pro and some troy, ukraine is now a major target for russian bombings. it had previously escape much of the air assault and had become a stop off point for people trying to flee it. ukraine. i'll zeros with our but how means is there? ah,
