ukrainian government has backing in that endeavor by its western backers. and it was in the last couple days that the chief prosecutor for the international criminal court was he in kit visited that area, boucher, where so many of those bodies were found. but it's important to recognize that there are huge legal challenges if any kind of investigation into these illegible crimes is going to take place. also, interestingly overnight, there were reports of another russian as strike in the capital. there were reports of sicily, according to the local man saying that there were teams of medics and rescuers in an area of south west in the south west of kiev, looking at that strike site. now this would mean that it's the 2nd consecutive night that the russians have hit a target in and around cave, since the withdrawl of their forces from around the capital 2 weeks ago. and of

course, this shows, despite that withdrawal of russian forces just how vulnerable ukrainian capital is . the russian ministry of defense says this destroyed building was ukrainian weapons factory in the south west outskirts of the capital cave. moscow says the plant made anti aircraft and anti ship missiles. people living nearby, say they heard at least 3 large explosions early friday morning. but i really must say, marie apologised, actually, pug the car, and the 2 rockets hindered one. i did not realize that there are 2 rockets coming in. when i went out afterwards, i waited indoors for some time feeling motioning. we saw the 3rd one coming damage the car towed the tires had the windows and was people suffered to the wall trail out. yes, i am apologize. the attack came hours after russia said its black sea fleet flank ship. the moscow had sunk while being towed back to pulled after

a fire caused an explosion on board. ukrainian military said it was responsible having targeted the vessel with ukrainian made neptune missiles. people gathered at a memorial ceremony for the ship in the port city of sebastopol in russian annex crimea. the moscow was the largest russian naval vessel to have sunk in action since world war 2 muscular dental plan anymore. and even for those who have not been bas, must come, i was a symbol for everyone action. i give them all of our power. our hope you know, the revival of the fleet in the 19. well, it is the symbol of engineering and scientific achievement. all comes to the 4th of our arch. ne, ukrainian army says it repelled russian army advances on at least 2 towns in the east of the country. russia has, we directed its forces from cave, in an effort to seize more territory in the dumbass region. it volunteers help ukrainian soldiers pack food to be distributed to some of the many thousands of

people fleeing, although still living the worst affected areas. i think. yeah, because this my home. and so we felt people delivering food chemistry in our town, just destroying voicemail good. had to fill the thing. i went to move this drone footage shows destroyed residential buildings in murray or pool. the besieged polt city on the as off see his sop at 7 weeks, a bombardment by russian forces and pro russian, separatists repeated attempts at securing humanitarian corridors. to rescue thousands of people trapped inside have failed. the mayor of the city estimates thousands of civilians may have been killed in the fighting ukraine's ministry of defense as russia has for the 1st time used long range bombers to attack the city.

so this is still wanting to bring a steady rushing occupants keep carrying out aerial strike. so mary, awful, they use long range bombers. the enemy's land forces are trying to capture the seaport, the strike on what the russian defense ministry describes as a weapons factory on the outskirts of kia is the 1st major strike by russian forces on a target around the capital city. since russian forces left the area more than 2 weeks ago, major military operations now for the time being have moved east, where there are increasing reports of an effort by the russian military to closing around the strategically important city of slip ganske. the un says that more than 4700000 people have flayed the fighting and with no indication of any de escalation, that number is expected to rise. char stratford, i'll just 0, give. well ukraine's president let him is. lensky says the country needs more

weapons to end the war, and he wants more sanctions applied on moscow. or only son, keenan, if i can prove that. i have the next package of sanctions against russia must include a russian oil band. in general, the democratic world must accept that russia's money, the energy resources is in fact, money for the destruction of democracy. when these decisions are made, we will all be able to see peace coming, richer experts estimate that russia has lost nearly 3000 pieces of equipment in the conflict. as russell said, our reports not from gave the losses of being blamed on russian tactical miscalculations and advance weapons supplied by nato countries. tanks, helicopters, personnel carriers, tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment all destroyed. and these are just a small portion of the losses suffered by one of the most powerful armies in the

world. when russia began is offensive, it hope to capture your brains capital, keep within days. but you bring his army wrist to the assault. evidently, the russian army and genic problems with moral, with its equipment, with its training on his doctrine. and as a result was soon trans your question directly. russia has been defeated in the field to a point where it was effectively routed from the north of the country. ukrainian on forces have taken advantage. often am boucher russian troops and columns in less than 2 months since russia invaded ukraine. it's military has lost powers of soldiers, according to ukrainian officials. it's more than the united states did in a 20 years of war in afghanistan, and nearly a decade in iraq combined. they say russia has lost at least 479 tanks,

496 infant and fighting vehicles. 28 crafts for shapes. 32 helicopters, 784 tracks, vehicles and jeeps. in total, the russians have lost nearly $3000.00 pieces of equipment, and these are considered conservative estimates. the highest prof, i lost to date was the mosque was the phil actually bought fresh us black sea fleet . losing a flagship is in during the war is well really bad. it said that p r is that it's going to expect band increase of the morale of the ukrainians at the time when they are on the verge of losing her. mary, who both went. many things can be said to have gone wrong for russians. general valerie says the grain and on forces had a secret weapon. let me be your modem,

lease brought him yet my shore, the mobilization of our society and people's resistance, especially a pilots who are older than 60 years old. come out and ask for jets. they retired from the armed forces a long time ago and asked, give us planes and we will destroy the russians. so moral is our formula for success. within your forces have employed new technical weapons given to ukraine by nato allies. chief among them are portable anti tank guided missile systems such as the u. s. me javelin, and his lighter cheaper cousin. and lo, which have been used against russian tanks with the us teeth in effect in the, in the turkish, me to be to by dr. drones have carried out both recognizance and strike operations . portable single anti aircraft missiles have also enabled ukrainian soldiers to take out low flying aircraft as technical miscalculations, misjudgment of the cleaning resistance and low morale have all contributed to russia military vulnerability in this war. these weapons are leveling the playing

's as they're known. although more americans are buying e v 's, they're still not as popular as in europe. sales doubled last year. but still only account for about 4 percent of all new vehicles sold. but automakers remain bullish on the future of electric, the lifestyle leaving the house every day with a cold, a full battery from your house. that's an luxury just by itself. but electric vehicle manufacturers face many problems, one is the war and ukraine has up ended, commodity prices and supply chains. nickel for example, has skyrocketed in price at one point last month, jumping over 90 percent. nickel is an essential component for evie batteries. those

materials that russia is strongly associated with will become short supply, either now or in the future. and that includes items like radium, includes things like nickel minium, those kind of resources, and it will have the effect of pushing prices. of course, there's also the problem of a lack of charging stations. this is a map of new york state and all of the dots represent where the government is planning to build more electric vehicle charging stations. but according to a new report by the department of transportation, just new york city will need a 1000 new charging ports like this one by 2025 and up 210000 more of these by 2030, just to meet potential demand. there is also the cost electric vehicles are on average $10000.00 more expensive to buy than gas powered cars. but he, the advocates urged buyers to focus on the longer term savings. the ownership costs

are massively less than buying internal combustion or, or ice a car. you don't have any oil changes, your maintenance costs are inherently going to be lower. take a closer look around the auto show and there are signs of promise, but also signs that weaning americans off their gas guzzling cars and trucks may have a little way to go. but how do i get it? gabriel's gondo al jazeera new york. ah, sorry, this is out there are, these are the top stories and police in ukraine, say the bodies of hundreds of civilians have been found in areas surrounding the capital. the discovery comes off to russian forces withdrew more than $350.00 corpses were also discovered in boucher. charles stratford has more not from cave more than 900 bodies discovered in what.
