11:03 am
a big victory for most ukrainians. wake up this morning, getting this news, and they are thrilled, quite frankly. and the reason is, is because these soldiers that were released by the russians in his prisoners swap, any soldiers would have been considered a victory for ukrainians. but this is particularly bitter sweet for them if you will use that terminology. because of who they were. more than the majority of these $215.00 prisoners that were released were soldiers from the as of regiment that held out for weeks and weeks at the as a steel plant in mighty they are considered and have been considered for many months down national heroes for what many ukrainians consider their incredible bravery during the early and middle stages of this war. and you can see it all over the city. in fact, right behind you can actually see this is the city hall building here and key. and
11:04 am
they've had this huge banner. it's been on the front of this building for many months now, reminding ukrainians every day on how they wanted to free the soldiers from this regiment. so this considered a very big day for the ukrainians they deal with this is a huge victory because of these soldiers that were now released when to kill played a major role in the negotiations that paved the way for one of these deals and casinos. joining us live now from the stumble, who are the prisoners that were brought to took in well, rob the prison, 5 prisoners for brought to turkey. 5 our high profile. 5 a commanders from the battalion, it since the beginning of the war. it is also fighters, have been, and name the heroes of the resilience and ukraine, as we all know. and some of the,
11:05 am

11:06 am
guarantees of the turkish president as well. these fighters are going to be staying into care instead of like, i would imagine the process like this takes quite a long time. do we know any more about how the mediation process works, particularly tricky as point of view a well, rob, actually, as far as we know, the turkish president has been cooking this mediation process with a turkish intelligence and his counterparts on both ukraine and russia. it's been more than 3 months, and the other fighters wise, as i said, have been traveling to turkey for a couple of time in the last couple of months. and they were also suggesting that their husbands shall be brought to true key. if putin agrees to release them so that they could stay here into, into a care, sorry,
11:07 am

11:09 am
assembly, saying moscow is not serious about ending the war. i'll am fisher reports from new york. it's rare for a president to shoe up to the un general assembly and attack another world leader directly. but that's exactly what you bite and decided to do. let us speak plainly . a permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. russia has shamelessly violated the court tenants of the united nations charter has comments coming just hours after vladimir putin announced the biggest military mobilization in russia. since world war 2, an announcement which warned of a nuclear response to threats to russia is raul should see these outrageous zacks for what they are putting claims he had to act. because russia was threatened, but no one threatened russia. and no one other than russia sought
11:10 am
conflict biden's address set the scene for perhaps the most eagerly anticipated speech of this general assembly from ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. it was prerecorded and that had to be approved by a separate vote. president zalinski demanded the you in itself, do more to punish russia for what he called its aggression or reject the right to walled, deprive delegation, right, or remove the right of veto. if it is a member of the un security council, in order to banish then resar within their institutions. so lensky said the russian mobilization was a sign. it was not serious about peace, as he laid out his 5 point plan to end the war. what is true then the military members, zation in russia, is sure sham referendums are also to rule russia once war
11:11 am
