5:02 pm
where we suddenly have a much clearer picture than we did in the early hours of the morning around 6 o'clock when that attack took place. ukrainian forces, say i, it was a russian attack on this military air base, which is about 50 kilometers west of living, where i am now are just near a town called yarrow. viv, i, we understand the 35 people were killed in that attack. more than a 130 people were injured, some of those injured have been brought to hospitals here in the vs. so certainly this conflict that we've seen mainly in other parts of the country in the north, east and south closing in for people in this city. and across other areas in the west. now the face itself was used by a ukrainian military personnel and military forces. but it was also a base that was used to train ukrainian forces. there were international training exercises as recently as just a few months ago. the end of $22115.00 countries taking part in those military
5:03 pm
exercises, including, for example, of forces from the united states. now the base is also very close to the polish border. so very close indeed some 20 kilometers from poland and nato members. so this is the closest attack in this war by russia to the border of a nato country. it's worth noting that on saturday, the russian deputy prime minister had said that moscow is very unhappy indeed about seeing nato sending a military hardware across the border from poland into ukraine. saying that this with these convoys were possible and legitimate targets for moscow. that will be of great concern as we see now that these attacks are encroaching closer and closer to that border border. there's also been used of course, for people to cross people who fled the violence and the fighting and the shelling in ukraine who are arriving here. austin, in the ve,
5:04 pm
the city was become something of a refuge for so many, but then many crossing that border into poland to reach not only poland, but other e u countries. it's also a vital passage way for any humanitarian aid to come into the country. natasha butler in living. natasha, thank you for res prophy is from the political consultancy rasmussen. global is also a former director of policy planning at nato. he says ukraine needs logistical help . the supply of amendment will continue and should be stopped because the moment we stop, we are telling him that we are just respecting his red lines. so we also fly with the consumer. that's what happened. 10 kilometers of the police force that western ukraine is increasing the area and the best way for the ukrainians to be able to troll and risk crazed to effective defense.
5:05 pm
nato's got plenty of that. and then so i think there should be a much clearer declaratory push back on rush, black men of using weapons of mass destruction being a much clearer statement. the police president has made such a statement, but i think it's expected that he should be done at the nato heads of their road. because that like many, without the acceptance, if we accept russia aggression and russia including nuclear black men, we have to make them specific. and what will they take and what? why will let me put in stop that using the black belt and apply to potentially made to alive, which you might see neural has been intense fighting outside your cranes capital key. many people have been fleeing the russian advisors to government held tons. this is bill hall, dra,

5:07 pm
that there's an understanding of this process and dialogue that although ranken is in keeping people there are unsure about their next move of russian forces at nearby. and let's talk about those and negotiations. first of all attempting, of course, to get her enthusiasm when the words significant progress are used. but we've got to be careful, haven't we? this is still very early stages. it is and if you speak to people on the streets hos were been doing, there's not a huge amount of confidence that those tools will go anywhere given that pin and butchered. not far from where i'm standing right now or under intense russian attack, or now it is interesting though, that the russians have actually responded as well. a russian delegates and the talks and ukraine was quoted on sunday saying that they've made significant progress. and it was possible that the delegations could soon arrive at a joint position. now notice the language, the joint position, that majors will be
5:08 pm
a statement this issued. it might not be a see why it might not be an air beginning to the end of this conflict. and may well, just read a statement that says, actually we agree on this and that's not giving hope to people here. they're still hunkering down there still are preparing for any eventuality i was on the streets homeschool, me back. i've been showing you this, this view for days now, but it is incredible to see that this is the capital city. this is the main thoroughfare and is completely empty. now we were a unsafe market today. ah, and i was approached by a man outside who was looking for medicines, though the supermarket was actually open. there was food on the shelves, not a huge amount of variety, but at least there was something. but i had, there were no pharmacies open. he said he had a sick child and he'd been wandering around the entire city looking for an open pharmacy. i asked him how his preparedness was going. he said, look,
5:09 pm
we're hunkering down. i'm going to protect my family. i'm hoping that the russians don't come in to the city, but they do. i have to fight, i've got no where else to go. so there is still that defines there. but given these talks, i don't think anybody is really pinning all the hopes of these talks are going to be the break for them may will be the beginning of the breakthrough. but like i said, that language are about, you know, there is a place is there, a negotiation space is very vague. one of the key questions. so one of the key topics for that and that those negotiations, of course have been humanitarian corridors and i understand residency lens, he's been talking about them. what was he saying? that's right. the president gives a daily video space somewhere in this city. we don't actually know where that is. he did speak to a journalist though, however, on a saturday and our colleagues that vast and actually asked a question about the
5:10 pm
a civilian casualties of what that affected him. but today he was very much focused on mario polly. now married them, a humanitarian corridor, are very polite, she goes both ways is getting civilians are out, but it's also getting supplies into the city. supplies that a desperate lead it. he said that about 125000 people have actually left humanitarian corridors and into cranium. tara traguil, so said a supplies were going in a few hours ago. those are back on values by 80 kilometers outside of mariposa. don't know whether it's got any closer. it's going to be a hot slope for that convoy to get in to mary pulled those supplies, absolute, desperate need it. and the president was highlighting that today, reporting life, ukrainian capital, keep him mankind him on. thank you. mario paul is such a critical concern for president for laudermill zalinski because it's been besieged for 13 days straight. now, the city of more than 400000 people,

one meal a day. they had to make the choice to ration that to, to keep the food going, as long as they can. there's, there's children with our, with our teams there, there's families. so it's obviously a very difficult situation for them. but we know that situation ready outside radiates outward for thousands of residents and that city. so in terms of, of a, a pause or humanitarian corridor, we are working with both sides to the conflict, all sides of the conflicts. to urge that this take place. but we know that that agreement needs to come between them. what we're doing is describing the parameters in our conversations, conversations that are taking place that a very high level describing the parameters that need need to be put in place. your grades, emergency service. it says it's had to deal with 3 on, exploded bombs in a day. in the northern city of shell, i have. this is one of them removed from home. the bomb squad says that we sent diffused, as it was discovered shatter here has been under heavy fire from russian troops.
