8:06 am
villanova, most of them were brought here from their unfortunately some of them were very young. i'm sorry, this is very difficult for me. but very young men have died while protecting ukraine. protecting all of us the war in the east is fierce and the russians appeared to be slowly but surely grinding the ukrainians. gang with ukrainian forties continued to resist. russian artillery has pounded the 2nd largest city. her cave and the port city of mary upon the freezing graveyard of denise pro, far from killing the will to resist losses on the battlefield further fused. the anger was neither to build non wooster, bolster ticket monster. or we can think of his revenge, revenge avenging our men. this gives us motivation to protect our country. it's the
8:07 am
only way the conflict in the east has been going on since the invasion of crimean 2014, an estimated 14000 people have been killed. these latest casualties since the recent russian basia. this graveyard is full of young men that have died from this conflict, but the reality is, as long as this war goes on, more will follow. as that bag i'll jazeera, the negro russian forces are expanding their offensive in ukraine, hitting cities for the west. for the 1st time, the missiles landed in the city of levine, hitting an aircraft repair science at the airport zeros in basra. rub some developments from that and across ukraine. within minutes of early morning air raid sirens throughout the city, russian missiles had targets near levine international airport, shattering once again, the sense of relative safety here in the west of ukraine,
8:08 am
before police unless every boarding system worked. and i'm grateful to the armed forces as they reacted. some missiles which were launched from the black sea area, were intercept 4 missiles, had an aircraft repair plant, as you already know. there have been some attacks in this part of the country. a training company operative last week and a military posted in airfield, near luke. but the friday morning, airport strike is the closest the war has come to the city of levine. so far as you see behind me, smoke is still rising from the area that was hit. we've been stopped from going any further any closer to the areas that were hit by the strikes. the police have pushed us back twice. we've tried to go over the bridge, but we've been sent back to this area here so we can't get a clear view of what's happening, but the smoke that continues to below, over the skies over the city certainly tells you that something definitely was hit and is still on fire. in the eastern city of car keys, a college building was shelled,
8:09 am
killing one person entering 11 and trapping another in the rubble. the city is home to one of the largest markets in eastern europe, and it remains on fire, sparked by shelling on thursday. another showing in crockett tours killed to an interesting russian rockets continued to pound the capital keith as well. a nursery school targeted on friday, killing one child, injuring $23.00 attacks hitting mostly civilian targets is proof. ukrainian officials say that russia is choosing not to fight ukrainian troops instead hitting the country's most vulnerable. yeah. how can people in russia be so stupid and let this happen? how come russians don't understand that putin is not defending russian speaking people in ukraine? he simply went mad. that's it. this is what i think, because the same person would never do anything like this. in the central square of la v of the countries, cultural capital and installation highlights the most innocent victims of war among

8:11 am
according to chinese readouts. it says that a president sheet in ping told joe biden, that both countries had the responsibility to de escalate tensions. that fighting was in nobody's interest. and also he repeated china's stance that sanctions would not be effective and ending of the war, and would only serve to damage the global economy that was already struggling to recover from the pandemic. now, in order for the u. s. part of that joe biden emphasized that they would be material a costs, or they would be consequences for materially, supposing russia in its efforts to invade ukraine. older, the u. s. did not state what these consequences would. b, u. s. officials have asserted that russian officials have asked china and military support, military aid in the form of equipment. and in terms of helping to engage in this was something that both moscow and beijing have denied a prison. blighted,
8:12 am
also went on to share his own view of the war and put forward the u. s. and its allies efforts to stop russia's invasion and presumably tried to get china on board with that. however, we have seen no indication whatsoever that he was successful in this. and in fact, by the end of this call, as long as it did last, we see no sign whatsoever that china's position has changed. russia's president vladimir putin has praised the war, new crane as a success. he appeared before launch crunch and moscow who'd gathered to celebrate 8th years since russia annexed crimea, deserves bernard smith's reports from moscow. this was a powerful show of patriotism. in moscow, russia's biggest stadium was filled to its 81000 capacity to celebrate 8 years since the annexation of crimea, or as it's called here, the re unification. and everywhere the said, the sign,

8:14 am
we are practically living on a war footing. there's no way for it not affect us any more. we have to fight this war, and those were stoking it for keeping it going and are prepared to take it to some catastrophic finale that show of descent won't get covered by russian television, but friday's flag waving in moscow. another city's will, though you won't hear that ukraine says it's fighting for survival of the west, dismiss his accusations that it wants to rip russia apart. bernard smith, al jazeera, moscow, full of them. it's lensky has criticized futons rally and his latest video. the ukranian president also called once again for meaningful peace and security talks with moscow. jazz over 80 must have just, this is the time to meet. this is the time to speak, trying to restore territorial integrity and fairness for ukraine. otherwise, the losses of russia will be such that you won't have any resources to get up after

a threat to the region. russian auto group. he was to go to them by women golf war, put simply, the ukrainian authorities gave the pentagon carte blanche on the territory of ukraine to carry out dangerous biological experiments there. this is not the noble assistance to ukraine, that the american representatives talk about. this is a cynical use of its territory and population for dangerous research, which washington does not carry out on its own territory. so it doesn't run the risk of hurting its own people. in the u. s. denies any chemical weapons programs exist. it is russia that has long maintained a biological weapons program in violation of international law. it is russia that has a well documented history of using chemical weapons. it is russia who is the aggressor here. the united states also warned that russia may
