says that it is continuing to apply sanctions. the secretary of state saying that new sanctions were introduced just a few days ago. antony blinkin saying that each and every day the u. s. is looking at ways in which to tighten, improve shift duran sanctions. in consultation, always. he said we're with the u. s. western allies. so from the u. s. point of view sanctions are being imposed. they will continue to be imposed, but importantly to they will be amended as the situation goes along. my canada, 1st in washington, d. c. rushes, defense ministry says ukraine's accusations are unfounded and it's better to units all left butcher. 4 days before the footage was revealed, hassam al bars and moscow. the russian ministry of defense dismissed the reports about massa came butcher as force and a provocation. they say that their military units pulled out from butcher on the

30th of march. right after the talks in istanbul with the ukrainians, and thus when the announced as carrying back their military operation in kiev and chicago, they also blamed the ukrainian military for extensively shelling southern oscars of butcher than the russian military says also that when it took over butcher it paved the way for the civilians to leave the area and some of the managed to go north to words. bella rose, now, the russian government says a start of the mitchell impression in ukraine has been accusing the west and the united states of america. for what he has been describing as an unprecedented disinformation war, they say that the west have been using all those reports about civilian casualties, to deflect attention from the core issues that the russians have been talking about

. and the grievances that they have been looking forward to see an answer to a particularly the need for nato to stop expanding eastwards and for ukraine to stop getting advanced weapons from the u. s. and from the west elsewhere and the ground russian. miss alice have struck near the southern port of a desert, which is ukraine's main naval base. russia says that destroyed an oil refinery and fuel storage facilities, east by ukrainians, military and as, as a focus for moscow as its force is trying to cut ukraine off from the black sea nose. and we'll go more to i was at home and it was scary because the walls were shaking. i went out and saw that there was an explosion near my home and i saw the tank farm burning. there was a big explosion. lucky an aeroplane crashed. i've never seen something like that. we need to close the sky because you don't want an attack again. we'll oberlin

really when it comes to the russians, then moving on to odessa, usually strategic, it's ukraine's biggest port. and if they manage, then to get that entire southern part, they would cut off ukraine from its entire access to the sea to the black sea, into the as of c. but it's been proving difficult in the beginning of this conflict . they were talking about a potential naval landing on the beaches of odessa. they have been heavily mind, but certainly all the military analysis points to if those ground troops don't get much closer to the city, that's not going to be possible. i think we're gonna have to wait and see if they're now going to step up the attacks on michel i have again to try to move forward. in all the news pock saelens opposition is challenging a decision to dissolve parliament and hold a new election in the next 90 days. the supreme court is hearing the petition on monday. i early a prime minister, wrong combs sidestepped, and no confidence motion in parliament. it was dismissed by the deputy speaker who
