a journalist with radio liberty. ah, she is she. busy buried under his trouble somewhere here in this apartment block. and we are really in the city center of keith. and now this attack happened just after president m a president zalinski rather had wrapped up his meeting with the un secretary of a un secretary general. antonia a good terrorist, this was our report. the secretary general arrived in the capital strong of an agreement in principle to brook a humanitarian corridor, for the civilians hold up in the as a style. steel planted mer you pull. antonio gutierrez, called it a crisis within a crisis. his meeting with president viola de mer zalinski that went in longer and schedule focused on this issue. but the secretary general didn't want to give any specifics on any progress. at the present moment, i can only tell you,

we are doing everything we can to make it happen. i am not going to enter into any comment that both ends of mine. that's possibility. because my 1st and only priority is the people that suffer and the people that must be rescued of rotten decided. heavy ahead of his meeting, the secretary general had visited the devastated towns north of the capital, borrowed yankee. it pin and boucher where the un said there was growing evidence of a ledge war crimes. ukrainian president had criticized gutierrez, for heading to moscow before coming to keith. he said that the un secretary general should have 1st seen the trail of destruction left behind by the russians. but good terry's got also to experience 1st hand russian firepower several whose missiles targeted keep just as the press conference with the president had ended,

this was the 1st time the capital was hit in several weeks for the ukrainian president. it was proved that without security guarantees, nothing can be negotiated with russia. he who would you are the rascals of it to day, right after our talks, he, in kiva russian muscles flew to the city, fight marseilles. the save a lot about russia's true attitude towards the global institutions about attempts of russian authorities to humiliate un and everything that the organization represents school in. therefore, it requires corresponding powerful reactions sold. a close adviser to president zalinski said in a tweet, missile strikes in the downtown of keep doing bill official visit of antonio gutierrez. the day before he was sitting at a long table in the kremlin and to day explosions are above his head postcard for moscow. recall why russia still takes his seat under un security council? if any thing the attack on keep underlines how difficult it will be for the

international community to mediate a settlement between the 2 sites. for the secretary general, the priority at the moment is to provide humanitarian relief to ukrainians, trapped in battle zones. so that obviously a high profile visit and the 1st visit by the un secretary general to the country since the war. what's been the reaction to his visit there with when sydney, the 1st reaction really came because of that missile. i tired here in downtown keith, with many members of his government and president zalesky himself again underlying the fact that russia did not have any respect in their view even towards do un secretary general and making a point that there was this attack was done purposely and very well timed to coincide with his knitted. now the other reaction was also what was the secretary

general bringing with him on the table here during his conversations with president zelinski when, when it came to trying to to negotiate a truce as cease fire. he came empty handed, but he came with that agreement in principle about the lu, any terry and evacuation from my youthful and president zelinski. earlier in the day said that they would be an attempt at this. you manage an evacuation of those estimated 1000 civilians and that a hold up in that as you plugged in. more you book to come out today is that indeed happens with the coordination of d u n n a day international red cross. i think the un secretary could say that at least he had a little bit of success when it comes to to do it the role of do you and in this country it has been highly criticized. heard over and over again. some president zelinski down in the government wolf from russia to be removed from the

security council, which is something the secretary general told me in an interview with not is not on the table, but you also had another witnesses ahead of his visit. not only because of the timing and the way he decided to go to moscow 1st and come back here, but also because of the role of you and so far has been a lot of frustrations in the weeks leading to the war. and there's been a lot of frustration throughout the war where 2 months in many other leaders have showed up here in cave and then he comes at the back of it. so certainly a difficult position for the secretary general is trying now to just push forward. do you mind italian track? okay, thank you so much. had i been, honey, is reporting for us from keith. and her did interview the un secretary general while he was in the capital will bring you that interview a little later on the al jazeera news hour. but as so there was mentioning, we're hearing from the ukrainian president's office that an operation is planned to get civilians out of the as of style steel plans on friday. it's estimated

that you are very sensitive to this kind of issues. but my only objective is to rescue people and contribute for peace. and obviously the, with the enormous concern that the law of ukraine expressed about the civilian strapped in the seal plant in mud ball. it was absolutely essential to find the way to take them out and only place where i could try to do it. going to moscow and fucking to prison put in. so i believe that that was the right thing to do. and the at the same time, of course, making sure that we create conditions to work seriously with the government in keith, boasting our support, our many support to the people of ukraine. and we had very constructive and very part of them had failed. now you're coming here from what i understand with a mission to try to make you many terry and corridor finally happen,
