8:03 pm

8:04 pm
as they try and move south towards the strategically important town of sla vianza as you also say, there were full civilians killed in an area near savanski, a village near there as they tried to escape that village. and we heard reports of a lot of heavy russian weapons moving into that city off the street fights. and there's also been further west. we understand there's been a lot of shelling in the, in the town of michael life also. and the coronel authorities are saying that this is an indication, potentially, of this largely long awaited long awaited offensive or push up by the russians. a concentrated effort to try and take more territory in the eastern area of the country after, as we saw 2 weeks ago, this move this withdrawal from russian forces north and east all the capital key.
8:05 pm
if so, yeah, there are some very worrying developments for literally hundreds of thousands of civilians in these areas. the are the authorities in the gangs over the last couple of days have been telling civilians to leave literally to save themselves. and that's in the word. and that's in the words of officials they're am and we understand that there is a heavy movement of civilians trying to get out of many of these areas. and what's the latest you're hearing from the city of mario, poland? in the south. the cities man has been speaking again. that's right. yes, i mean, of say, marable, 7 weeks now of heavy shelling completely besieged by, by russian forces and pro russian forces for russian separatists. we understand that the battle continues, certainly around this steel. ringback works now the al steel works is,
8:06 pm
is this all mighty j aren't great. soviet built installation. ready sir, is, is very well fortified just because of the materials that it's, that it's built that, that it was, that is made of. but we understand that there are still a lot of ukrainian forces inside we saw surrenders. and we saw offer by the russians in the last 48 hours. am of all, if these men basically surrendered themselves and they would be protected by the geneva convention and their, their, their rights and safety would, would, would be protected. that actually hasn't happened. ukrainian said no and the fight goes on. we understand that there are up to 100000 people. civilians are still stuck in the city as well. humanitarian corridors have been blocked to day or never started. that's according to the ukranian deputy prime minister. who said that,
8:07 pm
so the russians didn't to agree, agree to these, the, these corals and, and we understand also certainly according to russian soldiers that there is some sort of filtering or operation going on that is being led by the russians. the potentially has huge implications for anybody wanting to get out of the city. and we understand that this means that certainly men are being prevented from, from, from leaving. so it seems as if there is finally, as i say, after 7 weeks of this, russian bombardment of mariel, a serious concerted effort to finally take control of the last pockets of this huge each is cedric city, in terms of what the russians want. because of course, if they take full control of mary or pull that gives them a land corridor from the shepherdess control regions in the east all the way to russian control territory in crimea. are the serious charles stratford reporting
