but the signals can silence the explosions of russian shells. of course, we're seeing all the risks. of course, we are not seeing grounds to trust the words coming from representatives of the country that continues fighting to destroy us along brazil, more than up green that ukraine supports the talks and will continue the negotiation process to the extent required, we are counting on the result, we must have real security for us for our country's sovereignty, and our people russian troops must leave occupy territory, solid sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine must be guaranteed alyssa or western official say. russia has begun pulling its armored vehicles from around ukraine's capital. but the jo sector state says, all this could be an attempt to distract attention from its military losses. and let's hear now from enron con, who has the latest from the cup. remember that the russian said the key would fall in the 1st 2 or 3 days of the conflict a we are they 35 and that hasn't happened and a lot of people are coming back. i'm just going to show you. um,

i know that this looks completely empty, but honestly this is busier than i've ever seen at 50 percent of the city had been evacuated. slowly, people are coming back here. a lot of people had moved to central ukraine as, as ukraine is where a lot of people have a village homes, ancestral homes. and they went there, but they found that they were living on top of each other. they were stuck and it was just very uncomfortable. they would rather be back at home. and now, particularly from this news, and we are seeing over the last couple of days, much will read russians being open. churches are open, religious places of worship, a being open, people are coming back. so looks like, uh, people are cautious. ah, but they are coming back. but that's not because of the recent russian males when that's because keep his master with san any kind of intense push where you cranes his russian forces is showing nearly all cities along the front line in the isn't

or next region dividing government hell territory from errors held by separatists while in the neighboring enhance creature, at least one person has been killed off to residential areas, were bombed in their lease, a chance get at least a chance could. the regional governor says a number of high rise buildings with damaged rescue as a trying to find people trapped in collapse buildings. well, throughout these conflicts, russian forces have been attacking a crane southern port, including fest on a desa make a life and merrier poll as an attempt to cut off ukraine from the black sea. stephanie deca has the latest from the streets of a desa. it is a beautiful spring day here in odessa and usually this street would be lined with the tables and chairs outside people, enjoying a drink, a cup of coffee. but now of course it is. have any barricaded. you've got anti tax trop. you've got the tires sandbags. it is the center of the city. you need special permission to get here. this is the city that has been preparing for war for weeks . now. there is a low level conflict if you will. there's

a constant sound of air rates are, as we've seen, the heavy use of air anti missile systems in place. rockets have landed, but nothing to the extent that you've seen and some of the other cities. now, the active frontline, nikolai of is just around a 150 kilometers away. they have managed to push back russian troops for weeks now, but there is also the expectation. a lot of the incoming is from the c. this is ukraine's biggest port. what is significant is that the russian fleet, off the coast of the black sea, hasn't already managed to stop all the imports and exports. but all this aside, when it comes to the military here, when you comes, when it comes to everyone, you speak to the civilians that have remained in the city. they will tell you that the russians will never be able to take it. well, nature has refused to get directly involved in the conflicts. instead providing weapons to ukraine. but the military, lance admits our lives, continue to ensure their redness in extreme weather with operation cold response in the arctic circle. me bunker reports now from body force in norway

were 330 kilometers inside the arctic circle were exercised cold responses been taking place now for several weeks. it brings together 30000 troops from 27 different countries. many of these companies cawthon nathan alliance members. but it also includes allies of the alliance. so troops from sweden and finland, both of those countries, of course, bordering on to the arctic region. it's all about interoperability. so making sure that these different militaries are able to work closely together and quickly. it's also of course me, luckily winfrey landscape is about putting troops through the harshest of possible climate. we know that some ground forces have been having to sleep out in the open in temperatures plummeting through as low as minus 30 for several days on end. these 2 helicopters about to take off the british water, the stations in a nearby your. but of course, undoubtedly given what's happening in eastern europe,

this is about the nature alliance, sending a clear cut signal to the kremlin, vladimir putin. there any inclusion into nato territory. would be met with the strongest response. and earlier i spoke to ben wallace britton's defense secretary, who made his point clear. president putin can't be less off what he's already done . i mean, the russian government took the decision to invade a sovereign country, killed thousands of potentially, people bombed innocent civilians broken the geneva convention. done a range of things that is just totally acceptable. and that'll stick around for a long time. the invasion of ukraine is creating new geopolitical and security headache for so alliance members across the whole continent, raising some big questions about the security of the reason, as well as the west, twice a week in itself, off ross and oil and gas is looking to norway to make up for sure, full meaning,

new security implications for protecting oil and gas installation in the arctic region. in the past year or so, russia has also been reopening cold war bases in the all taken. the big concern now is that this part of the world will the world love natural wilderness if could end up becoming the next zone, a conflict where there been a number of explosions outside the rushes to belgrade. near the border with ukraine videos posted online by local media, the picture showed munition deco up in flames. the regional government says there are no civilian injuries. it's not known what triggered the blast. the un says more than 4000000 people have now fled to ukraine. it is the largest refugee crisis in europe since the 2nd well bull. millions of women and children are heading to border countries, likes to the vacuum, mold over and more than half to poland as kimberly healthcare. now reports from bush mesh in poland. this is provided new opportunities for human tractors. since

enforcement around to make sure that it's being taken care of in response to the refugee crisis. poland government has recently passed legislation increasing the penalties for human trafficking of children from 10 to 25 years. this united nations migration coordinator says such risks should not deter refugees from escaping doing well. definitely researchers arriving to be more aware about the risk without skating them from coming here. because also we don't really need to create this kind of by name that this is dangerous. this is more dangerous than whatever you are. fleeing on the other side. since rushes evasion and at the peak, $98000.00 refugees cross daily into poland. currently only about $19000.00 cross each day. but another influx is expected and authorities are already preparing. kimberly, how can al jazeera michelle, michelle holland?
