10:09 pm
that the military operation will achieve its objectives in ukraine while he continues to use his country's path to justify its presence. a tactic that's proven to be mostly successful so far. with in russia. dorsey jabari al jazeera, moscow live response ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says, russia's actions are a betrayal of victory day or she has a bla, sasha. little russia has forgotten everything that was important to the winners or world or 2. but ukraine and the whole free world will remind vanish, so that no one will ever forget ships to gain their weight. she really important words. she never again are repeated around the free world every year. sure. in memory of the victims of world war to show the russian person to east and ukraine shows no signs of easing. as our bay has this update has troops tight try to take ground. well, today it's been relatively quite old, though there was
10:10 pm
a town mac oliver mac liquor, which isn't far from here. that was getting hit earlier on we saw the smoke rising from there, but generally it's been quite ball. so there's not many people around now we were in chronicles, this is like a ghost town. not many people around, most of the shots are closed. and that's because, so many people have left because this in the east of the country is the front line for a, for ukraine in the ukrainian troops here. now the authorities here say that the russians have hit around 15 locations here in the east using air strikes, missiles, heavy artillery and tank fire. but the russians are pushing and the intention is to take a pos of the east and the south. essentially, a land locking ukraine to that fighting is continuing, and many people here have left this area. there are some of the supermarkets that are open, a lot of the shelves. the empty, the accused sector. perpetual stations is the limit and have a few. people can actually buy, but like i said, it's very,
10:11 pm
very quiet. are very few people out on the streets. that's because most people fear that the russian push is still going on. the russians are still trying to take territory and they feel that in the next few days, they'll be a further push from those troops. not far from here. in fact, around 18 kilometers. you as president joe biden will soon sign the ukraine democracy lend lease act which was passed last month to speed up the transfer of weapons and military equipment to ukraine for more miss, let's go to white house correspondent, kimberly hackett. kimberly and no shortage of support, of course, for ukraine from the, by the administration. but what's the purpose specifically of this move? well, this is being done by the, by ministration. once again, underscore us support for ukraine as that ongoing invasion by russia. ukraine continues. so the timing of this is certainly no accident, of course,
10:12 pm
as russia commemorates victory day, this is something that is being done, this signing that is set to take place any moment. now, here at the white house is being done to once again send a message that the united states is united squarely against russia's invasion of ukraine. we should point out that this is a program that is not new in the united states. in fact, it was 1st put in place in 941 and was seen as really turning the tide ed decisively, in the a western allies favor. and this is something that is hoped that as it is revived in 2022 can be done again. as ukraine fights for its sovereignty, and really for the future of its country, according to the biden administration. so that is what the purpose of this is, again, the timing no accident. the u. s. president. set to sign that at any moment into
10:13 pm
law. and as you point out, what this would do essentially is allow for the united states to expedite it's support in terms of not just military equipment, but also food medicine weapons. but you have to remember to this is the only support that the united states has offered ukraine already. there has been 13600000000 in economic and military aid that the u. s. president says is nearly exhausted. that's why the president has asked the u. s. congress for another $33000000000.00 in economic humanitarian and military aid. the u. s. congress, according to how speaker nancy pelosi said to approve that package, which is size more than double. that is expected to be approved some time next month. as she's anticipating a vote on bad and to be signed into law sometime by the end of june. so i, again, we're watching very carefully for the president assigned this latest bill into law . and it is definitely designed to send a message to vladimir putin on
10:14 pm
a very timely day. okay, kimberly, how can it the white house? thank you now. so to come here on al jazeera, a tragic life captured and vibrant color. the staggering price expected for andy will house classic portraits of marilyn ah well it may, it should be blooming in europe and it is, is getting warm actually. i mean, it looks like a lot of clarks from across the bridge out. maybe scandinavia and things aren't quite as warm here, but for most of europe, even the shower dying down there around in romania cross, croatia, at least during tuesday. but there's quite a large gap with knowing much private in the sky. and if you over lay the temperature forecast, plenty of oranges and reds, which means temperature, well up now are going up fairly steadily. and example,
10:15 pm
vienne is going up to 25 to 29 by thursday, the of the average and steadily warming fancy doing something pretty similar. i have to say, but i get to wednesday. borders at $32.00 south coast got on shore breeze, but again, it's sunshine for most countries in europe, england, denmark, i think probably netherlands being exception during wednesday, though still on shore breeze for libya and egypt. so it's a bit cor into broke the cars at $31.00, so strong a wind for the sas. still keeping the dust up in the air all the way down to the sale is to very hot in senegal. but the seasonal showers, which are moving their way now though they look a fairly rare event when they do get in, are significant. the proper seasonal rains, bit further east and south, principally in galvan cameron. ah, lateral capital is capital which nature rated us when nature is transformed into a commodity. big business takes
10:16 pm
a new interest by landscape protecting landscapes. it's a phenomenal opportunity to be able to use a business model to achieve sustainability of nature. but at what risk, thanks. of course, don't do that because they have at the height, pretension of nature. they do that because to see a business in pricing the planets on al jazeera. ah, ah, ah, a reminder of the top stories here on out here. and so lancaster prime minister may hinder roger packs has resigned following weeks of protest against the government's failure to solve an unprecedented of economic crisis. at least 4 people, including a member of parliament, died and fighting between rival political groups. on monday,
