migrants in libya, struggle to make ends meet during ramadan. where we begin in ukraine, where rosters continue to strike at the heart of cities. attacks have taken place in the west and south of the country. at least 7 people have been killed in the vive. 11 others are wounded. a barrage of missiles also hit denise pro, injuring at least 2 people, while further east ukrainian officials say russia has carried out attacks in the hands region. 4 civilians were shot and killed as they tried to flee. the city of krajina, ukrainian soldiers and maria pole have ignored russia's ultimatum to surrender. moscow says its forces have almost seized the port city. while a door such a bar is standing by in moscow with a view from russia. but 1st, let's cross to ha abdul. hamid who's in the western ukrainian city of even hotter.
5:02 pm
what more can you tell us about these strikes in the v today? well, it was the bloodiest attack on live eve since the war started some 7 weeks ago. now . it was around 8 30 in the morning, we heard the air sirens, and shortly after a barrage of missiles struck the city, 4 of them at 3 hitting military installations. according to the mayor, one of those installations being an empty as storage warehouse. we don't have any more information about the 2 others, but the 4th one actually had a car repair workshop near the railway tracks in the north west of this city. now near by there was a hotel where some a displaced ukrainians from other parts of the country are staying. they woke up with this sound of this loud bloss all the windows chapters in that hotel city
5:03 pm
bringing back to them and nightmares that they had just escaped. for example, from hark eve, or we spoke to a woman, she was some severe done yet school. that's in little ganske region. she said that she had just arrived here about 2 weeks ago, running away from similar missile attacks just to her at live that it is through the same thing again this morning. certainly that relative sense of peace and stability that existed. he and security rather, it existed here in living, being shattered this morning by the bloodiest attack ever since the war started. and how to, how significant are these strikes and when you consider that the vive was seen as something of a, a safe haven of source, it is quite significant because as you said, libby was considered this safe haven. if you remember at the onset of the war,
5:04 pm
there were hundreds of thousands of people transiting through here trying to get to pull and trying to escape a give her key then other places around a country which were coming under a heavy shelley. this was the, this is still the transit point. if you go to the train station, you will still see on a daily basis, thousands of people making their way here. oh transit. it may be to go outside of the country, but it's also very important. and many other different levels, for example, is become a logistical hub for the military aid coming into the country a just a few weeks ago in march, i think it was march 13th, if i'm not wrong. that was a, an attack near by levine, about 70 kilometers from here on a mid military base. where about 35 foreign fighters who had come here in support of ukrainian army were killed. now this city, the arms don't come into the city,
5:05 pm
but the coordination of all of that happens in this city is also become the temporary base of the diplomatic cord based in ukraine. most of the embassy have sat down in the early stages of the war, and most of them still remain here and lived operating out of here. and it's also the, the 1st transit point for any foreign dignitary coming into the country. just last week, i remember baris johnson had gone to keir, but his 1st up was here live eve, he got on a trade and from here he went to cave. so certainly this is a city that is very important for the logistics of the war for the back of the, of the war are providing also humanitarian aid. coordinating all of that is also an important city for me. so supporting as this is dead, the country, this is where you would have the 1st transit of anything coming in and is also,
5:06 pm
i think on a psychological level, the idea that this city that was seen as a safe haven for so many ukrainians, trying to flee from as far as my you polo hard, keep thousands of kilometers away from here. if you would ask them a train station and i had been for example in denise pro, they would tell you we asked we came here in april, but our aim is to reach live we've. there was this idea among all ukrainians that live leave is this safe haven in this country? that idea might have been shattered a bit to day. okay, hotter abdur. mm hm. at live for us in la vega. thank you. are russian president vladimir putin has told an economic meeting that western sanctions are back firing . he says moscow is withstanding what he called an economic onslaught vanita, lady shanina. we will discuss which extra decisions to take in order to maintain russian business and the circumstances of the sanction pressure from our unfriendly partners. they tried to disturb,
5:07 pm
relies to financial and economic situation in russia and cause a banking crisis. we can certainly say that this policy is failing. the strategy of economic good scrape has failed. sanctions are hitting the initiators very hard. they have inflation, loss of jobs, living standards are going down, the u. s. and europe still russia with stance, that unprecedented pressure. while door such a bar is live for us now in moscow and door. so what else hazard let me put in, ben st was the president was adamant that his country has now weathered the storm a they've gone through the toughest period in the country's economic history. recently referring to at the unprecedented amount of sanctions that have been placed on russia since the president announced the start of his so called special military operation. russia is now the world's most sanctioned country as
5:08 pm
a result of that decision and the president during the 1st few weeks of that operation and made it his priority to make sure that his economic advisors within the government. oh, really on top of things, when it came to security, the country's economic future, there was a number of measures debra introduce, including the fact that locals could not take out any foreign currency they had in their accounts, as well as a limit on the amount of cash people could withdraw from their accounts in russia as a result of the restrictions, the country central bank placed on a russians to deal with the amount of sanctions they were coming under. the rubel lost over 50 percent of its value, but has since recovered quite drastically. as well as the president saying that the measures that they introduced have really shown that they are now able to withstand the sanctions and that they will continue to really work on the country's economic
5:09 pm
development coming upcoming in the upcoming months at. there's also the idea that the president said that the retail sector has also recovered. there was a lot of panic at the start of the announcement of the sanctions that came in to be and there was a panic buying as a result of that. and now that's all also according to the president has returned to the previous levels. so as it turn in terms of the economic outlook for russia at the president is quite optimistic and adamant that they need to be a vigil when it comes to their policies and maintain the same level of an air. they same level of their attention that they've given to the country's economic situation as they have over the past few weeks and they can get through this difficult period and as well. ok, dos such a bar in moscow. thanks for that update or other news now and shall anchor

5:11 pm
when that's wearing and happened, it's happening under fairly tight security and a report that even some members of the cabinet that came in for the swearing and use different entrance roads. because obviously the protesters are a few 100 meters down the other way. and they don't want to be seen coming in all done under a lot of security, but also a few disturbing elements that we're hearing. prime minister, mind roger pox are real, all handed politics is not reported to be very happy with that sort of choice of the new cabinet. i did speak to a source in his office who told me, ah, that the cabinet is going ahead with the president choices, but the prime minister is kind of largely out of the whole process. so it remains to be seen how they'll take up things in the coming days in coming weeks. but the protesters are digging in china's economy has exceeded expectations by growing by 4.8 percent in the 1st quarter of this year, or the world's 2nd largest economies. on the enormous strain warren ukraine and
