10:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow's papers in a moment. a military intelligence chief in kyiv says moscow may be attempting to split ukraine in two afterfailing to conquer the whole country. it comes as refugees fleeing from the southern city of mariupol say they are being forced to go to russia. as russia's offensive stalls, and civilian deaths continue to rise, the two sides agree to face—to—face talks in turkey on monday.
10:31 pm
and walking it back: america's top diplomat says the country has no plans for regime change in russia after president biden said vladimir putin shouldn't be allowed to remain in power. in a special report we hear how sex traffickers are seeking to exploit ukraine's refugees fleeing the war. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejemma forte, the broadcaster and writer, and anna mikhailova, deputy political editor of the mail on sunday. these are say hello in a moment to both of them. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the i headlines the suggestion from the ukrainian head of military intelligence
10:32 pm
that russia is �*trying to split ukraine in two'. the guaridan has a similar headline and reports that leaders in the breakaway republics in eastern ukraine are planning referendums on their future status. the main story on the financial times is the diplomatic row around president biden�*s comments about president putin. it also reports on tight new restrictions being introduced in shanghai to combat a growing covid outbreak. joe biden�*s comments also feature on the telegraph — which reports on the growing backlash against the us president's calls for putin to go. �*putin out to starve us all�* is the headline on the metro — the paper reports on conditions in the beseiged ukrainian city of chernihiv. i think we are going to start with that story, the front page of the metro, that awful headline, putin out to starve us all. good to have you both. anna, could you talk us

10:34 pm
we have talks in turkey next week starting on monday. we will see if and what they lead to, optimism isn't particularly high in many parts of ukraine on that. but it is important to remember the human elements here alongside all the geopolitical suggestions and strategies and actually, let's move to the front page of the i. russia is trying to split ukraine in two. that is the headline and we have been detailing a bit of that, but gemma, could you tell us what this is referring to?— is referring to? this does seem like a very new — is referring to? this does seem like a very new idea- — is referring to? this does seem like a very new idea. one _ is referring to? this does seem like a very new idea. one could - is referring to? this does seem like | a very new idea. one could interpret this as _ a very new idea. one could interpret this as perhaps the war hasn't gone as tooting — this as perhaps the war hasn't gone as tooting anticipated. the ukrainian resistance was underestimated and his army was overestimated. we have a situation where, _ overestimated. we have a situation where, a _ overestimated. we have a situation where, a month on, he hasn't achieved _ where, a month on, he hasn't achieved what he thought was going to happen _

10:36 pm
looking at. the donbas area was traditionally, before the actual war broke out, is what putin had in his sights. the area has been under constant fighting since 2014. it was a self—declared republic, but effectively a war zone where separatist ukrainian forces which are backed by russia and battle the ukrainian forces. this is assumed to have been the end game before the war broke out. an annexation, similar to crimea but a lot more bloody and well, a lot less to parts of ukraine, it is a chunk of the mainland. the intelligence chief he
10:37 pm
suggested this option, he has actually said the next phase will be guerrilla warfare, which is what certainly in the uk senior politicians have been assuming from the start. first there will be the land war with russia trying to seize as much territory as possible. this is completely not how russia expected it to go because the ukrainian army have put up a very good fight. but at the start, i spoke with ben wallace on the second day of the war and he said the first invasion, rush it will try to seize as much territory as possible. the next stage will be much more difficult because it will descend into guerrilla warfare. that difficult because it will descend into guerrilla warfare.— difficult because it will descend into guerrilla warfare. that is the fear and reasons _ into guerrilla warfare. that is the fear and reasons for _ into guerrilla warfare. that is the
