put in place since yesterday. that's when the un buses and the teams of both. the un and international red cross have arrived in the vicinity of the steel works. we do know that a number of civilians did come out a yesterday saturday, up to 20 of them. we don't have any figures about how many did come out today if any at all, or do you and at this point is not giving any details, but it is saying that the operation is a continuing. it takes a lot of work. it takes a lot of coordination between the ukrainian side and the russian side, a lot of mediation and a lot of vetting of those who are coming out. so this is going to be a lengthy operation that can take a few days. we probably, at some point going to start seeing buses arriving here in the upper ridges about a 3 hour drive under normal circumstances. that may be much longer because of the

current situation on the ground. but certainly it is a very delicate or evacuation that do you and, and the red cross are handling and they're trying to give as little detail as possible. but they are saying it is continuing and at the moment seem it's things seem to be going as smooth as it's possible in a battle ground us house bacon. nancy pelosi is the highest ranking american official to visit cave from washington hardy jer, castro has more on her trip. she was there in person shaking hands with president zalinski. the timing of this is a tooth happening just a week after the us sent to cabinet secretaries also to meet with a ukrainian president and his visit happening in spite of the dangers. of course, the russian shelling that fell on cave during the un secretary general's visit. and the, the reason this, this visit was so meaningful is that it marks

a significant shift from the earlier u. s. assessments. back when we were hearing that it was almost inevitable that ukraine could not win this battle. well, now we're hearing the opposite message and see nancy pelosi is presence there on the ground in key. if only makes that point the more strongly. and she said a standing next to zalinski that the u. s. would be there for ukraine until victory was one. those were her words. it's words that were also echoed by the 3 democratic congress. people who also accompanied pelosi on this visit. she also sank zalinski for defending democracy. she said for his nation and for the world, which again emphasizes this u. the u. s. commitment to seeing a victory for ukraine as its military assessments show that momentum, maybe on ukraine's side. here russia, meanwhile, is intensifying attacks and did seizing more territory in easton ukraine. the town

of dope road police around 50 kilometers from the frontline was targeted on saturday. 7 people were injured when a residential building was struck. al jazeera is child structured is they were the child of god, robledo all off road to per road show you this registered jewel blog, this sir, this residential blocker and a missile land. basically next to it yesterday morning, around 20 families living in there. the majority of them had been evacuated in the, in the weeks her previous weeks, miraculously only 7 people injured, apparently receiving early, suffering, minor injury. this was one of 2 missiles strikes that hit this tail yesterday. and what's interesting is, is that it is at least 50 kilometers away to where the active front line is. and it strikes like this, that a consistent with what the ukranian military is saying is evidence that they have

of the beginnings of a serious push by russian forces to take as much territory as they can in the coming days. potentially, as i say, up to that date, that silent important date of may the nights in the eyes of vladimir putin because we're getting increasing hits a tax on towns that are to say a long way back from the frontline me wall over night. there were lives on going shelling heavy shelling in some of the areas that we've been reporting from in recent days. areas like papa's now, which is east of here lucy chance, which is also east of here. that push like empty, pushed to try and surround the big urban centers of slave yonce. cremmit horse still goes on and fire and a russian military sat in you politicians and journalists on social media. it says an organization called cyber friend zed is recruiting people to spread false information on the war in ukraine and paying them $600.00

a month. a russian use organization called fun tanka says it's identified an old arms facility in st. petersburg and years. now, i'm the only thing that's really changed in this current conflict is that they are increasingly open about it, that they're using this concept of implausible deniability of denial. so paper, then, that almost a trolling act in itself to say no, we're not doing it. but giving a wink and not to say that actually they are. and this is part of the broader kremlin strategy of trying to undermine the integrity of the information environment to effectively make it very difficult for people to know with anything is true. and that men will fact that will to support all to fight against any kind of kremlin operations administration that the cyber from that channel, which has about $95000.00 subscribers right now will placed pictures of or links to opposition social media post and then direct to go and call and underneath that

we've basically narrative, undermining the ukranian, all sort of western position. we have reason to believe it is linked to the kremlin, but of course what they tend to do is keep a relatively hands off approach will keep them on length. so that there is, as i say, this kind of implausible deniability. we are fairly sure that someone pulling the strings. but it's difficult to say exactly who it might be and precisely what kind of relationship they have with their employees or people further down the train. to other world news now in a 6 day protest margins were, lanka has angel, capitol, colombo protest is marched from candy to demand the resignation of the president and his brother, the prime minister, mel fernandez for for many inch along kind of tradition of what his day or media this year was all about getting rid of the roger pox, a government. thousands of people joined a 60 march from candy to colombo, organized by the mean opposition. some luggage on about a vega baby isn't it?
