thousands of people have been killed and injured. millions have been displaced. this is a memorial slide to remember those who have been killed in this conflict. there's also this book that you can see here where people can come and write their own personal story. they have been coming here steadily all day, remembering those they have lost. this is, it's a big concern because i see the play says the war has cost extensive damage, especially in southern and eastern ukraine, where the fighting is ongoing. risk of seen all around ukraine as a result of this conflict. a tremendous amount of suffering of physical suffering, of also mental suffering. a population that is traumatized. we see, you know, critical infrastructure damaged or destroyed, including water infrastructure, also health facilities, also educational facilities. some really basic goods are very hard to come by,

including food, including water, presidency, land can re, affirmed his call to recover the territories occupied by russia. he walked through the centre of kia, accompanied by british prime minister, maurice johnson, 100 of destroyed russian tanks were put on display on the street, an open act of defiance to russia. zelinski had sat moscow was planning a series of cruel attacks on independence day. they were up on my board if the enemy thought we would greet them with flowers and champagne, received reeves molotov cocktails instead of them. they waited for innovation, got explosions. the occupy believed you could parade through the centre of our capital. i'm not. you could witnesses parade to day on crusher. cheek street, you'll get me approved that enemy equipment can only appear the center of key f like this, but, and destroyed dorcas ah! on wednesday, air raid sirens sounded all day across the country. i remind her of the imminent

threat by people in keith remain on the streets. many say they've been afraid for too long this year, the marking of independence has a different meaning. people say they are still fighting for it. and the only option they have against russian aggression right now is to win the war. it is, i will, i just see that you while european leaders have sent messages of solidarity to the ukranian, people by any pledge, more military support for ukraine's army as russian troops continue to launch attacks. the dean barbara has more singing the national anthem in belgium. but this of course, is ukraine's unfair parts of a coordinated effort by europe to send a renewed message of solidarity. and sheila, on the lion was wearing the colors of ukraine's flag as she joined other leaders in addressing the ukrainian population. we can never match the sacrifices you are making every day that we can. and we will stand by your side the formula

when data and the finding the sovereignty and independence of ukraine is defending the stability of our world. we have invited from the time we will continue delivering weapons from all that. how it says to antea craft systems, month after month. the britain's prime minister, who is in cave on wednesday, promised ukraine every possible military economic and humanitarian support, including new drones or us v's. today, i can tell you that more artillery artillery a more ammunition is on its way and a 2000 you avi's. johnson's not being seen at 10 downing street for a while. he's been holiday before leaving office next month, but there's no missing the symbolism of the flowers outside across europe than we've seen. austin taishan displays of support for ukraine. but as the war drags on the international communities, appetite for continuing its military support to the key of government could be

severely tested since february, many european nations including the u. k. france and germany had provided weapons and training directly to the ukrainian army. but last month, europe 6 lodges, countries offered ukraine, no new bilateral, military commitment. for the 1st time since russia invaded the struggle to cushion the public from soaring energy, price rises and knock on from the conflict. could make it harder for political leaders to justify more spending on ukraine. now as we see gas prices rise even further, likely to push your up into a recession. this winter we have elections coming up in particular in italy that are going to be quite significant. and we're some of the right, but not all of them are, are more friendly towards the regime. and i think the real focus needs to be understanding that there is the economic war going on simultaneously for now. the words and gestures of support showed no sign of drawing up the ukrainians might be tempted to wonder is how long will be outside world, make sure their country can resist on the battlefield the deem bought the al

jazeera london, least, 22 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a russian rocket strike on the ukrainian train station in chaplin in the east and done yet screeching. president vladimir zalinski had warned, of increased the tax 6 months into russia's invasion. rescue workers are searching for more victims under the rubble will half a world away in new york city. the united nations has been weighing in the security council held in open session to discuss the war, both the ukrainian president and russia's ambassador to the un had a chance to address the meeting. so lensky use the moment to call attention to a possible nuclear catastrophe of the russian held zap parisha power plant. what's happening right now is that russia has put the world on the brink of a radiation catastrophe. its effect that the russian military has turned the territory of the largest nuclear power plant in europe. does a parisian nuclear power plant into a war zone on us a will through zillow,

burglary bought new, our former western partners instead of condemning their ukrainian mentees are supplying them with more and more new types of weapons. which reach areas which give good not previously reach them and doing this there are becoming accomplishes in crimes against a civilian population. was when you are chris and to lou me has more from the you and the new york as ukraine and russia continued to blame each other for escalating the conflict un officials or warning of deepening global divisions. what some members of the security council have described as a return to the cold war. those divisions were on display in a meeting called by ukraine's backers, marking 6 months of conflict ukraine's president. for a lot of years, the lensky took part, virtually warning that the world's future would be decided on ukraine's territory. russia accused the un secretary general antonio the terrace, of taking sides for calling out its invasion of ukraine as

a legal. but the secretary general's remarks focused on de escalation and the humanitarian impact of the conflict, whether it's thousands of civilians who have been killed. the 13000000 ukrainians who've been displaced or the 84 countries now facing food and security as a result of rising prices linked to the conflicts. the secretary general called on all countries to put people 1st as happened in the black sea green initiative when ukraine and russia work together to increase food exports. but he warned that insecurity would only get worse and much more rush and fertilizer currently impeded by western sanctions. can come to market overall, it was a grim assessment with un officials warning that 6 months into the conflict. there's still no end in sight saying with the ukraine us present. joe biden has announced the nearly $3000000000.00 military, a package for the country. kimberly how kit has more from the white house. not only

is this the largest single package of security assistance, but it really signals a shift in terms of how the united states is supplying ukraine moving forward. because initially, the security package is, has been really short term supplies in the united states was utilizing what they had on have the pentagon was really giving to ukraine. what could we should quickly and what was in stock? in other words, it was for the immediate needs weapons led ammunition that the pentagon have on hand for the short term, but now the focus is on the medium and the long term. so the supplies will be utilized through the department of defense, long term contracts. so what we can expect that much of this will be air defense systems, our systems and munitions radar that will really allow for ukraine to really combat rushes tags. it is helicopters and really what this also signals is

a shift in terms of us support. and the fact that this means that not only will the united states be supplying these weapons, but also that the united states will have a presence. this is really something that the u. s. president has said all along with the united states as it is for the long haul. what this means is that really the united states will have a true presence in europe for the foreseeable future. ah, israel says it comes accept a revival of the 2015 nuclear deal with iran warning it will be used to, to stabilize the world. it follows accusations from iran nuclear chief, that israel has been waging what he calls psychological warfare to sabotage. return to the agreement, iran has denied us media reports that it's dropped, some of it's key to moms. under the table, iran agreed to limited sneak of the program in return for the easing of

international sanctions. till such a power is following developments from to run. as iran get closer to as reaching some kind of an agreement with the united states and the european powers, israel opposition becomes louder and louder according to the foreign ministry spokesperson here in terra that the united states government has officially responded to the suggestions that the iranians had around that final text put forth by the p 5 plus one. a few days ago, the united states government has passed on what they believe to be their answers to the u coordinator. that is joseph brown. and joseph ro hasn't turn, given that response from the american government to the reigning officials, who are now studying what the americans have come back with and will respond in due time. this is what we've been waiting for over the past few days since the rain is also responded to a text that was according to officials in vienna. a final text about iran

coming back into full compliance along with the united states under the 2015 nuclear deal. i think you'll be very, very telling in the next few hours and days what the united states come back with and what the iranians will respond as far as we understand. one of the main sticking points about coming back to that nuclear deal for iran has been some kind of a guarantee that we're looking for in terms of if, when there was a new administration in washington. if the next president decides to do the same thing that donald trump it, then they will have to pay some kind of a penalty to the iranians still to come allow to 0 among the song, sees far disrupted as fighting rooms between ethiopian government policies and troops from to cry and thailand's prime minister, suspended from duty while the cool considers the length of his tenure. ah
