estuary it's been already targeted twice by recent russian strikes. civilians are not just leaving mary palm charles street. saint is just outside avenue div come on the front line in eastern ukraine. he saying what the situation is like the residents slain. the town was quite as, as we went in, but a lot of destruction. lot of the buildings destroyed and some very terrified people as well. that have been living in a bunker in the center of town and we asked them as you can imagine, what their plans were now and how it felt to be to be evacuated after having spent so many days in this bunker. one, dear old lady wellings, her eighties, utterly distraught, breaking down, saying, please, we just need to move. now. i don't want to die. other young people there a young couple saying that the only plan that they had in place was to get as quickly as possible out of f d of co. that group now will be taken over basically

a 3 day journey across ukraine to a shelter in the west of ukraine. and from there on, i mean it's, it's basically up to the individuals as to whether they stay in ukraine, whether they indeed have anything organized and that fall back from the frontline. as for other fighting across the front, it's the usual towns that we've been reporting about. and from in recent days, towns like li man tells like is young towns like curb burial cover. these are all places where russia is trying to mount a big serge. that's according to the ukrainian military, towards the areas of savanski. it has been quite in the area that we've been in over the last hour or so. but literally in the last few minutes, we've heard heavy shelling coming from the east european union energy ministers are holding an emergency making after russia cut deliveries of gas to poland and bulgaria. some a members trying to trying to phase out the books reliance on russian oil and gas

imports. the you get 40 percent of its natural gas from russia and brings in more than a quarter of its crude oil from them. but now rushes biggest a customer, germany aims to be fully independent of russian oil imports like to be seen. it's already reduce them to 12 percent, but it remains a big consumer of rush and guess getting more than a 3rd of its supply from them. but banning russian energy is complicated and not everyone is on board. hungry relies heavily on russian gas and oil and he's resisting a ban of concerns. it may damage its economy. other countries taking large volumes include equally austria and so voc, yeah. all i have by is an energy market analyst based in osler. he says it won't be easy for europe to find alternative sources of fossil fuels. the russians are supplying around the 37 to 40 percent of the total you consumption is really, really large part. we have been quite lucky with the supply from the region,

continental shelf. that's high it. and it has been, we all seen a huge optic in l. g imports into the continent. so this is, this has been more like a failure. but i think it also been important for your pins, understand everything is running on the red hot. now you know that we just apply airing, red, red hot the energy import or the rental herod hot, and we are not able to import much going forward. so it takes time to move away from russia. for example, just really quickly and think about germany. germany has a lot of natural gas coming from russia. for example, if you think about the north one pipeline, we all know that north into pipeline is dead in the sea. does not going to happen. bankrupt, never going to happen. no one still delivering at full capacity all, all hold those, delivering all the long term contracts. however, if they decide to cut the supply from those $31.00 and they are going to build more than 2 terminals that will take one to 2 to 3 years,

maybe to get up to have around a capacity, which is one 3rd of what nursing one is delivery now in 3 years, then you get the sort of the id and the, the seriousness of this, of this supply source. russia is just 2 big russia foreign ministers. second leverage has caused controversy by suggesting, not seen later. and of hitler had jewish roots, that's from to israel to some in russia's ambassador for talks. leverage of also said the cranium. presidents, jewish heritage doesn't contradict moscow's claims. the country is won by nazis. he added that some of the worst anti semites of jews claims that hitler with punctuation is a theory widely dismissed by historians to the world news now and muslims around the world as celebrating the 1st day of age alpharetta macking, the end of the holy month of ramadan in ethiopia, capital addis ababa morning prayers. celebrating 8 have ended in violence,
