at the very latest. a prediction based on intelligence reports of slower than expected, russian progress, larger than expected russian losses. its forces spread increasingly thinly across the vastness of north south and east, a new crime, really wishful thinking, perhaps. but it isn't a doors as the delivery of the units of the people's militia to an extra public continue to compressed in sacramento. mary paul, the general advance from the east was the northern in western direction was up to 800 meters for the division of the russian armed forces are continuing offensive operations. there are reports that russia has already prevailed on allies like china and syria for help. but all the heart in this fight belongs to ukraine, and it refuses to submit journal al jazeera movies. while the evacuation rhodes from mary paul that we mentioned extends just over 260 kilometers to

evaporate, show, which is ukrainian held territory that ukraine, deputy prime minister said, a convoy with surprise for mary paul was talking nearby. bert danced. i beg is in, is parisha. he met some of the people displaced from mary paul. when they get here, they are closed, they are toys, given food, and here you can see donation from people from ordering ukrainians, making a massive effort to try to welcome these people that have escaped from medical. but it's not just medical that they have escaped from the surrounding areas. it is fighting, taking place and the people that we've spoken to many are shocked and traumatized. many have lived in the hands of villages all their lives and have no nothing else. and now they've been forced to leave, but we also have people that have been displaced a number of times because it's why thing in the east of the country has been going on since 2014. so many people left there to say for part of ukraine, and now again,

they've been forced to leave. but the ukranian authority is saying that 2000 cause, again, have left marital but that's not enough. the city has around 400000 people that have been seized by the russian and the ukrainian desperately want to get into that city. and the situation that we've been hearing from inside my report is that there's a lack of food, water, lack of heating, people taking shelter in basement. but the trying to get a and to doesn't cause as far as the ukrainians are concerned, isn't enough. and ukrainian for bracing for a rush and bombardment of the port city of odessa. satellite images have shown russian naval ships approaching the cranium coast, who is in odessa, president followed the muse lensky has warned several times that russia is getting ready to attack odessa. and certainly people here have taken that warning seriously . coming into the city, they're 45 checkpoints that you have to go through with

which is considered also very broad, russian, as city, the message coming out from odessa at the moment from what we see is that they are supporting ukraine and that could bring them punishment. now, one ukrainian child becomes a refugee every 2nd, according to the united nations, that 70000 a day, almost one and a half 1000000 children since the war began nearly 3 weeks ago. they went. refugee agency says more than 3000000 people have left ukraine to escape the fighting. and more than half of those refugees have gone to poland. polish president andre duda has signed a new law to help the huge numbers who arrived. the legislation allows ukrainians in poland to legally stay and work in the country. then bas ravi reports from krakow. poland. second city looks different these days. soldiers are scooters. refugees, and sidewalks, reminders of russia's war ukraine at the consulate and crack of hundreds of
