fighting in the country in recent weeks. out as arizona. mcbride joins us now from the city of la. vive 1st all robot more we hearing about the situation there in good turn and what might have taken place. yeah, we are getting this saturday evening here, more reports coming from this town of bucetti seeming to confirm this evolving picture of a very, very disturbing picture of some kind of mass killing of civilians. now, according to the matter of this town on a totally federal, he, we have spoken to him. agencies have also spoken to him. he is claiming that this has been a deliberate targeting by russian soldiers, basically a massacre of civilians in his town. boucher is one of these satellite towns that sits to the northwest of key that actually sits between it a pin and also hostile mall. that's the location of an app at an important airport

. and it was, it has seen some of the fierce is fighting is being very close to the front lines of all that the fighting over the past few weeks. it is basically being on the russian occupation for the best part of a month. and according to the man, these towns folk were actually trying to escape to ukrainian held territory. when, according to him, they were simply gone down. they were trying to escape from a russian shelling. he says now the, this has been confirmed by agencies who have visited the town have taken video along one stretch of road which does seem to show people, bodies in civilian clothes, men, women, 91 case 18, at least one teenager. other journalists have been uploading images on to social media, so it does appear that there has been some sort of killing of civilians taking place that the ukrainian ministry of defense is organizing a facility for other journalists to visit this location that we do know from the same ministry defense,

they are saying that as they push forward and the russians are with withdrawing, they are occupying and taking back territory. and it does appear as they do so that in places like butcher and maybe other towns that could well be other more grizzly discoveries. waiting to be uncovered, and of also the ukrainian forces, have we taken control of the entire territory of the kiev region? they say, how important is this? what does this mean for the russian offensive? a revised to be seen exactly what the russians are doing. they've announced themselves that they were pulling back, disengaging, if you like, from the area north of keep up towards a, it's a, it's a border with ukraine that they were pulling back. the they suspicion is that according to the ukrainians, basically they haven't been able to achieve the kind of objectives they want to to keep is standing there. haven't been able to take that or hold on to other

substantial gains. they've been having supply problems. morale problems, and according to the ukrainians their counter offensives have been very effective and they have been beating back the russians. i think the suspicion is from the ukrainians perspective, they are anticipating that may be the russians will be replenishing attired units regrouping and then concentrating on the east and indeed vladimir zalinski, the ukrainian president in his address to the nation. he makes this and nightly address on social media has warned ukrainians that they should anticipate that there will indeed be more fighting at the usa. that's where the russians are now concentrating, try to consolidate their gains there. and of course, as they do withdraw, the a claim is from the ukrainians. and we have seen that and seen evidence of that that russian, the russians again, are using their, the artillery and also missiles to cover their withdrawal with law civilians. then being targeted by these projectiles. all right, thank you very much. from the v,

then ukraine rodman, bright or the northern city of athene, which is next of the chap has also been a key battle ground for weeks now and his family back under ukrainian control. president rodney zalinski said a pullback of russian forces had been slow but noticeable and accused and of leaving minds as they went out. there is a man, con is near athene where volunteers, emergency workers have been moving dead soldiers and civilians. slowly, methodically, they search for booby traps left by retreating russian forces. this ukrainian de mining team tells us the russians have hidden explosives in consumer electronic devices, such as mobile phones and laptops and spread them all around. this car was abandoned by the russians. the ukrainian say it was full of looted electronics, like we're looking for minds and other devices including unexploded devices.

ammonia shall live behind by the russian troops. we are trying to prevent any one who comes back here from being endured in this area. the rashana animals look why they did you. barely a few meters of this town remain untouched by battle. the russians used heavy artillery and rockets and missiles all throughout are pain. you see sites like this scenes of heavy artillery showing those almost near complete destruction in places where then underpin this place was incredibly important to the russians. if they had taken this town, it would have been a staging post for any potential attack into the capitol. keith ah, buses are still taking last remaining civilians out of town. these people had no choice but to remain. they had nowhere else to go. others are returning to a village on the outskirts. they have no idea what awaits them other than the destruction of what was once their homes and lives insider pain. however, residents are not allowed to come back as security forces sweep the town before the

war. this was a bustling commute, a town of round 70000 people. to day it's become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. the town, the full back president vladimir putin says, russian forces are not targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure. but once again, these pictures contradict those words. we won't know for a while how many people have been killed, but early estimates from the mayor's office suggest 200 to 300, with many more injured. we won't know for sure, because the bodies of some of the dead remain under rubble. and they will be there for some time around con our desert. but pin lean to national committee of the red cross has been again trying to evacuate civilians in a convoy from the besieged, poor city of mariel, pal, some residency managed to escape earlier. i have started arriving in safer parts of ukraine. same bas ravi reports now from the western city of la vive a moment of relief, days in the making. thousands of people waiting to get out of mario pole,

them when they were visiting houses because they were trying to open some cupboards, looking for something, but we will have a very brief while she was watching them, making clear that they shouldn't take anything. there is also concern about what russians have left behind the prince president has warned his people to watch out for things like land mines and explosive traps that may have been placed by retreating russian forces. the war he says, is not over yet. not even a national grain in the north for the country, the occupies continue to retreat slowly but noticeably in the east. the situation remains extremely difficult. russian troops moving to dumbass and towards khaki. they are preparing new strikes. we are preparing an ever more active defense success on battlefield around keith pared with a high level visit from the head of europe's parliament pledging support. you and we are fighting our war fighting for

in the multi region last week, malia is intensified operations against on groups in recent leaks that it tree has also been assisted by the russian paramilitary organization. the wagner group. nicholas that brings us more in this now from neighboring santa cole. these are military operations that started on the 23rd of march and ended just days ago on march. 31st led, of course, by the maryan military, but with a support of russian fighters have stepped into the country since december. as a result, the french forces that are on the ground have decided to remove their soldiers from the country. we've seen a change of tactics in the village of more of this village was led under siege for a number of days. people that were going hungry when starving, when the attack was launched. as a result, the mon, the military said that they have neutralize over 200, what they call the terrorist groups, linked to al qaeda in iso are active in the region. but this change of tactic has

come since the arrival of russian fighters, similar to what we've seen in syria in the left, where russian fighters have put that city under siege or more recently in ukraine, in mario paul. now the money in authority say that they will continue with these operations throughout the country. human rights organizations accused both amalia soldiers and what they describe as white soldiers that do not speak french alluding to the russians. committing torture and extra judicial killings of civilians. though the un secretary general antonio terrorist says he is alarmed by the situation saying that there are disastrous consequences for the civilian population . but the 1000000 army say they are guided by human rights and international law and call for restraint against death amatory speculations. a number of journalists

have been thrown out of the country. the situation in molly is going from bad to worse, and no one really knows what is happening on the ground because there is so little information coming out. these operation are ongoing and continue throughout the country. a 36 hour curfews and for central anchor following anti government protests. the army has also been given sweeping powers to make arrests after hundreds of people tried to storm. the president's home is widespread. anger the country at the government over an economic crisis as cause major fuel shortages and long day power carts. michelle fernandez has more from colombo, coming less than 3 hours before the island wide curfew was due to take effect. the announcement took people by surprise. now on our way here, we saw lot of people scrambling to get home, most of them clutching a bag of vegetables, of onions, of potatoes. because given the situation,

people are not stopping stocking up much, not even this, this sarah mc good shop. obviously, the single time a new year's coming and little roadside kiosks like this do come up and the guy running it tells us with such little notice to be able to pack all of this up and start again 36 hours from now. that on monday, rather than do that, he's hunkering down here. he's just open here because obviously is open to the elements and he's going to be here. so are people are really being inconvenienced, given the short notice now. ah, there's no reason that's been given for the curfew, but what everybody thinks it's being impose is because there was a massive protest that's expected to happen on sunday. now very much a part of our social media campaign. and it's being said that it's not politically affiliated, and many, many people, ordinary sure lumpkins had already talked about joining in to express their anger, their frustration of the ongoing situation in the country. rising cost of living or

the expensive goods that are becoming more and more unreachable for people, as well as the shortage of things like mortars, fuel, of cooking, gas and things like that. obviously, not just to show lanchen phenomenon, but people here are struggling. hungarians, if you devote on sunday, in an election, overshadowed by the war and neighboring ukraine, a wind for prime minister victor o. bad would extend his 12 year rule, but to the race is the closest its been for years. after all the opposition parties united behind a single candidate under simmons went to meet him. ah peter mark, his eye is leading an alliance of 6 opposition parties. they don't all agree on policy, but they're united in one aim to bring down hunger as prime minister victor all by monkeys. i is telling his people that all burn has split. the country is made his close supporters, rich, and his moving more towards the autocracy of russia and his friend president

vladimir putin. body body use rule of law. the war in ukraine dominates this campaign. mackey's, i want to back nato, when the you in helping crane with military aid. but all bad is telling his people, the opposition wants to join the with the discussing line. but albany has been doing this forever. i would say that he has a little bit is about protecting the nation, protecting the country. he has always been backing the opposition for 12 years or about has been waging war on everybody, homosexuals. they are to be thinking, community roma, my grandson, left this brussels or been, has been beating more forever. his been serving coatings interest monkeys. i is from the provincial town of hot mess of asher hay, where he organized a national movement to unify political parties. peter marcus, i is hardly a high profile politician, his mer of a town known mostly for its unusually long name. he isn't

a member of parliament. he doesn't belong to a political party yet. he's posing the biggest threat yet to victor alba. the 2 men do have one thing in common though they're both conservative or band disputes that he grands mark his eye and his alliance as left wing longmarsh on the left thinks that ukraine fights are wall. this is what the leader of our opponents said word for word that ukraine fights are war. this is a mistake. this is not our walk in this war. we cannot gain anything but can losing everything as now. mom, we have albany tells his people, he'll keep them safe and throws in sweetness, tax cuts kept petal prices and securing russian got supplies on ukraine. the government says it's welcomed woman, half a 1000000 of its refugees, more than any other european country of its size. that claim is described as

misleading though by at least one human rights organization, saying most of the refugees are in transit. ah, on the eve of voting monkeys, i staged his final push to try to buck the trend of opinion polls giving all been an increasing lead. oh, but whatever. the opposition says they struggled to dissuade many hungarians from seeing or bam as a strong figure of stability and dangerous times. andrew simmons, alger 0, budapest, ah, look at main stories. so now it cranes defense minister is saying it's forces every taken the whole of the kiev region from russian trips, but the russian retreat has left.
