while people try to live as best they can. russia has blamed what it calls ukrainian nationalists for what it describes as a humanitarian catastrophe here, but ukrainian president vladimir zalinski blames russia's invading army, claiming an, an address to parliamentarians in south korea. the 10s of thousands of people are likely to have been killed in the city mighty open. roonan murray or police destroyed, there are tens of thousands of dead. but even so, the russians do not stop the offensive. they want to make an example of mario pals . several 100 people are now thought to have died in a theatre where many families had taken refuge. drone footage shows the extent of the devastation to that one building that was attacked in spite of the word deity or children. being marked clearly on the ground. president zalinski says the coming days will be crucial for ukraine with the expected, renewed offensive in the east. he says the russians have amassed an army of tens of

to be returned to q a to, to ukraine unconditionally. better many according to her. there are many, many years and active is that have been taken captive catholic, had been captured by the russian forces when they were in control in the regions particularly and around the key of last and also to the whole front line in the eastern regions in don't boss as well. and now, as the, the demand is here, she says that this captives are not only only ukranian territory, but also they are being held in prisons on the russian territory as well, claiming that russia to many of them were on its own soil. and on the other hand, she also said that russia today has below some buses, they were supposed to a victory this civilian. so now there are $1010.00 thousands of civilians, a waiting to be created in, in car. keep in mind,

you pull in don't bus and in many in combat which just 2 days ago, a russian l is the russian missile hit and caused a tons of the kill tens of the civilians there. so now, as the war is intensifying that the eastern border, so the concern here is that it's only going to increase the human losses and civilian caught in the crossfire. there is the prosper so more firepower for ukraine in its war against russia. european union, foreign ministers have been meeting in luxembourg, have been discussing a proposal to earmark another $544000000.00 for the delivery of weapons to ukraine . the rock sought diplomat, joseph burrell, says, has also been talk of additional sanctions against russia. after more than 6 weeks of more or less, foreign minister says those statements by the union supplying ukraine with weapons will pull, change the rules of the game, and approaching seduce little's world food the so this is very serious turning

point, even in the policy that the you and the west, on the whole, undeniably under the united states leadership has been pursuing since the start of our special military operation. this policy reflect and betterments and even fury in some respects. and of course, it's been determined, certainly not only by ukraine, but also by the fact that ukraine has been transformed into a foothold for completely suppressing russia and submitting russia to the global system. being built by the west of which is always kept moving closer to our borders. contrary to all promises it gave, despite the end of the cold war. and despite the warsaw pact and the soviet union's disappearance, a forensics team from the international commission on missing persons is going to ukraine to help identify the dead and gather information that could lay to be used in a war crimes case. the director general, catherine bromberg, i says it's unusual to start their work with a conflict still ongoing. the team will go in next week as an exploratory mission

to see how we can hit help the various institutions in ukraine, from the general prosecutor's office to the ministry of interior minister of health . so we're going to be looking at cases of trauma trying to see if it's possible to identify unidentified war remains. and to start working with families of the missing who have reported missing loved ones. it's very important to work with the government. i mean, states have the responsibility to locate missing persons of to investigate their disappearances. i mean, it is unusual to work during an armed conflict, but there is political will. and ukraine has set up mechanisms including a commission on the same err, since legislation on missing persons and the criminal criminal procedure code that we feel is in good shape. but the intention would be to help ukrainian authorities conduct these investigations in line with the rule of law and to make sure that all missing persons are accounted for,

whether they're ukrainian or non ukraine. the un security council has heard the rain has been used as a weapon of war in ukraine in a session focusing on how the war has impacted women and children ahead of you. and women has called the independent investigations into the allegations. kristen salumi has more now from the united nations women, children and the elderly make up the majority of the 11000000 ukrainians flee in conflict according to the united nations. and they also filled the cremmit tourist train station in dynette. russian missiles struck on friday. and i must say in my 31 years as a humanitarian of rarely seen so much damage caused in so little time. the impact of the fighting on the most vulnerable civilians was presented to the united nations security council on monday. in just 6 weeks, nearly to nearly 2 thirds of old year cronyn children had been displaced. they have been forced to leave behind everything their homes, their school,
