started. i could see through the window, it was all red and you said it was going on for about 10 minutes. when i came out, that's close to the exploded down there on the pavement that was on the lot of shrapnel hit, the building, the walls smashed the windows of the school. i don't know where it came from. when i was inside school, that's where the bomb exploded. and we did the what's the new school? nothing. there's no military in this area. it's residential. one of the impacts was here right in the middle of the children's playground, and you can see the damage that's been done across this children tia conceits in the woods on the stairs. but also look what it's done to the metal on this slide. it's cuts straight through the no children were hurt, but this could have been fatal. we found these small pieces of metal scattered and

lodged into the play space. lethal shrapnel that has no place in the residential area. let alone in a children's playground. i said bake. i'll just eat or how to keep. let's take a look at the overall situation in ukraine. areas in red are held by russian forces and their separatist allies, or places where they've made significant advances. on thursday, russian troops reached the center of mario upon the port city has been under siege since the early days of the war. tens of thousands of fed trapped without food power or heating. what ukrainian forces say they've been resisting russian attacks elsewhere, such as around kia and china, his rushes, foreign minister, certainly a lover of his accusing the west of declaring war on russia by trying to destroy its economy. a mom of eulu to day a real hybrid war. total war was declared on us. this term,

which was used by nazi germany, is now used by many european politicians when they talk about what they want to do with the russian federation. and the goals are not hidden, they are declared publicly to destroy break annihilate, strangle the russian economy, and russia as a whole. her in the del, who is the policy director, rasmussen, global, and international political consultancy firm. he says, roches, multi pronged invasion has failed. like a bullied i got a bloody nose, russia scaling backwards and visions. it's bringing this back to focus on just the territories of the so called people's republics. and he's done your grant, which wouldn't recognize right before he invited ukraine. so this allows me to concentrate fire power and resources on, on war aims, which from muscles perspective are more attainable. and if this is june, we should expect less effects on give, but a doubling down on the cities, for instance, like mario or a city that you know has been devastated and, and has seen constant bombardment and suffer probably the most. but it is

a big if i think and, and you know, it remains to be seen on the ground because we should not trust a single word coming out of the kremlin. so we shouldn't exclude the fact that russia could crank up their attacks once again later on. i mean, president zalinski has already indicated that on issues like need membership, he is willing to negotiate. however, the most contentious issue will be the territorial question. and i think on the territorial question there's, there's no way especially now that the ukrainians can make any concession on that. there will be a focus on mario, paul, they'll be a focus on getting the territory of the so called republics and getting to the border of those regions which the russians do not yet control. and so, you know, again it will be an attempt by put into aim for 4 targets that he thinks he can get . because so far he hasn't gotten what he wanted. and that was a takeover of you. now to our other headline story, the conflict in the i'm in the saudi led coalition has launched
