10:06 am
whole house was shaking. this was so scary, lavish from the found i knew they were very close. the whistle is something you never forget. a whistling sound, which instinctively makes you run a height that order. that was very scary. we ran into the garage and i was crying hysterically. i was praying to god to make debt instant, no suffering, no torn limbs. i didn't want to live with that. at that moment i thought these are my final minutes. victoria arrived in levine, just days before another russian missile strike in the heart of this city. one of her slides, me at the middle of i got out of the bus and literally walked 10 meters and saw a flash. it was literally 10 meters from me. i started crying. not because i was scared, but because i was just sorry, i couldn't believe that the city was as dangerous as mine,
10:07 am
like so many ukrainians. we've met here. victoria speaks russian. she's lived in mario, pull her entire life. and so she never felt threatened by anyone until russia invaded ukraine. and lumala sh. they only are that when it all started, i didn't think i could hate so much. i'm a mother, i have 2 children. i take care of my elderly mother. i know how to love it, but because of what they've done to us, i know i hate these people who started the so much and specifically those that came to my land and started raping it. they rape our souls. i dream of meeting one of them and without any weapons tearing them to pieces. part of me, thanks. where is this coming from? but really i fall asleep with the thought of thinking my teeth into their throat and tearing them to pieces. victoria says she does not recognize herself any more angry at the loss of her old life, grieving for

10:09 am
that shelling still continues. before i get into specifics, let's take a general look aware the russian withdrawal is supposed to be happening. it's supposed to be in the northern city of attorney that is still under intense attack from russian forces by artillery shelling missiles and rockets. and that's how she getting closer into the city center here in key in the towns on the outskirts there is still shelling taking place. now, what the ukrainians are saying is that they simply mistrust the russians to be able to withdraw or in the deal that they made in turkey to the letter of that deal or will they saying is actually yes, we all seen some evidence of withdrawal is just take an example now of the north of kiva brewery, which is next in the south, has come under intense attack again, ah, but in the north, what we're hearing is that within out a pin,
10:10 am
which is one of the towns that come under intense shelling as that leaving air pin russian soldiers are actually looting parts of the area that's also happening in another town called boucher as well. this is now of a concern. the ukrainians have always maintained that any deal that's ever made with the russians, the russians have reneged on, in some way or other. whether that be in the beginning of this conflict, the humanitarian aid corridors which have been open and they have managed to get people out an aide in, but much oh, but throughout the day, as those humanitarian corridors go on, oftentimes there is russians shelling which then makes those humanitarian corridors just simply shut down. so there's a lot of suspicion we were talking about this on tuesday, which is tuesday night was when the withdrawal was announced. here we off as they morning and that shelling is still continuing. right. as far as residents of the
10:11 am
capital a concern, what's happening there we are. yes, we haven't. you're talking about you seeing more people on the streets to a degree that's absolutely right. it's still the case being. busy more people are coming back in to keep the reason they're doing that is because, like i say, it's the northern towns that have really been borne, the brunt of this entire conflict. but people are coming back because they're just simply fed up with living in places where it's not their homes. it's not, their flat is not where all this stuff is surrounded, where they're surrounded by all their stuff and they can have a comfortable life keep hasn't fallen. there was some talk by the russians that it would fall within the 1st 2 or 3 days of the war. here we are, they 36. it's still standing. it's still very proud, still very defined. so people are coming back in to the city. but that presents another problem ah, there's limited food coming into our keep so you've got to get. ready more as more people come in, you've got to get more food and restaurants all beginning to open,
10:12 am
but they have limited menus. is only a few of them open are these so people are really they are they want to come back, but they're worried that what they're coming back to just simply won't be able to sustain them. so the people that are coming back are coming back and being define and saying whatever the conditions are, we will deal with the others are looking at the situation. i'm wondering whether they should come back. but keith, i have to say, has shown itself to be a city veteran, a is very resilient, but be more importantly, a is a city the wants to return back to normal life. and even recommend, thanks for that to him and con, reporting a rushes president to seriously misjudged his own military capabilities. that's according to britain's largest intelligence agency. jeremy fleming head of the government's g. c. h q spy service alleges morale is especially low among soldiers . we've seen russian soldiers, short of weapons and morale,
10:13 am
refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. and even though we believe pigeons advisors are afraid to tell him the truth, what's going on? and the extent of these misjudgments must be crystal clear to the regime sled here, amount 0. 0, there is anger on the streets. valentina will tell you why thousands of people are demonte, a financial boost from the government. one is ers. remember really goes on sale cutters. news sports museum, not just dedicated to historical sports. when it's play. ah
