just devastating because of the building is completely ruined inside. so there are no windows glass and that's why the soviet style building with the walls and also are there other building that's me that residential building are also without any windows and their dema just the the, the street is destroyed. so we don't the haven't yet numbers of the last us to learn, but we have already yesterday. well, that's just concerned and the 2 children and one of the rockets the car where there was a family in their moments. so and today also, but there are kids told their administrative build and they're brought me up by no cars and people on the street. so they were not one about that kind of attack. my

maria, russia is insisting that it is not firing on civilians. do you think that these attacks that you've just described or targeted on civilian buildings, or is it what could be called collateral damage? now it's not, of course, the collateral. it's just done on purpose and that this your clearly can see that i will tell you more. research in russia isn't formation for a long time. and now when i see what russia need, they say that they deliberately did that because they want people to get inside and hide out on this. meaning that now people are one on the, on the us as seen as close to just because they need to hide in the basement or in the underground. they have no ability to go out. some of the people, you know, fence cold days and nights cried in there. and there is no foot supplies at the moment though, we are on the verge of the humanitarian crisis,

and russia knows that and they deliberately continue, shall, and then he discontinued. so it's still continuous so that people will not be able to go out. i myself wasn't outside today because of the constant shell in that role with or so you mentioned a food supplies. there are reports of food and medicine shows, shortages in many cities. can you explain to us what the situation is like in call, keith at the moment. how's the, how you experience it? well, it's that no transportation is, is i was civil right now because of the russian system. they fall on the street. so the shop in the residential area on the line with for example, where i leave there is completely nothing right now in the shop shelf,

complete with empty and everything. what was last people already and for that? so we have the day i wasn't outside, but yesterday that was that was the bread and people are standing in long line before the breadth in front of the bag to get a loaf of bread and water. and. and also there the lines in front of the small shops. so people wanted to get in because there was so little and so many people wanted to get sampson. that's why. and so apparently it's already a critical situation because russia is deliberately blockade. and that the seat and so their, their supplies are not possible. that's why the colon and the knowledge and, and the colon for international humanitarian organization to force and the know make some kind of corridor that says where the supplies to the c t would be

organized. thank you very much, maria. i've day of a resident in her kieffer. thank you. and we can all go to key for i'm joined by natalia banker. she's a lawyer, a based in the ukrainian capital. then i'll tell you when you look outside your window, right, non keys, what do you see? hello. what i don't see is people. there are very, very few people on the streets because we have air strikes warning, ha, like every hour. so most people are hiding in their basement shelters, and they're afraid to go out. however, the situation is stable dance, but stay below the brain. an armed forces are still have control over the scene. but as i said, their situation is very,

very sense. i tried to answer the supermarket yesterday. however, there was a very long you. i found it to like 150 people trying to get teeth. so i would not answer. i still have my supplies, so i decided to, to try to go out and try to enter today. so what about, you mentioned long queues at the local supermarket. there was a general situation if, if we're talking about food and medicine supplies ah, it can be seen that there is an sharpeners, there's a sharp edge because only a few supermarkets and pharmacists are open. so people try to get in and my address in there. and from our local authorities to receive the least

open to their markets and pharmacists every day. and people go there from the very, very early in the morning and try to find what they can do are you were personally affected by the fighter i hear fighting on my street every night. and of course the air strikes warning are very, very, you know, morally to certain, very, very difficult. because of the 1st 2 nights i went to shelter every time when they asked i will warm him came but now i just go to my bathroom because it is impossible to go to the shelter every hour and a sound. the members of your family are involved in the fighting. is that correct? ah, not directly, but my boyfriend,

it tries to help the tutorial defense unique in the region where, where she's now. so what's the mood like? do you feel that you are getting the help from the international community that you need? oh, very grateful for the all imposed assumptions and all measures taken. both are in terms of threw away from her life in the many darren assistance. but we still feel that you crane fights alone in this war because it is a war which will effect not only the whole europe effect, but also the whole world. and her from my talks to my colleagues and friends over a grand with all the beans, tabitha, close in this kind of an urgent need for you. so you kind of fights alone, as you say, in the lead by an experienced president that really was thrown into this situation

. what is your opinion of of a lot of a miss zalinski is a performance in the last couple of weeks. i believe that he's great. i believe it, he is great and he's done everything possible in this situation and even more honestly, many ukrainian did not expect such dedication such power from him. but now we're all proud of him and support you very much. that's how they were benco. thank you very much for joining us. he on the w news. but it's there from ok, a friend coming up we're expecting to hear from you. crane and president of law to me. it zelinski. he's speaking virtually in the european parliament will bring you that live shortly. these pictures show him on monday signing you friends, the latest application to join the european union. but 1st, the emergency session of the united nations general assembly in decades opened with

a nuclear conflict is simply an conceivable award. the scale seemed inconceivable. his days before the invasion, ukraine's envoy to the un spoke passionately about civilian suffering in his country, and warned that global peace is at stake. a few crane does not survive invention, you survive. international peace will not survive. if ukraine does not survive, the united nations will not survive, have no illusions. rushes envoy accused the media creating fake news about what putin calls a special military operation and blamed ukraine for causing the war by mistreating russian supporters and break away regions of the dead. of the political group, this definitely persuaded us that we could no longer ignore the suffering to people in don bass. the leaders of breakaway regents turned to us for military support.

monday's emergency session and the un general assembly lays the groundwork for a resolution members will vote on later in the week. in part, it demands russia immediately stops its attack and withdraws all troops from ukraine. the international criminal court in the hague will launch an investigation of the situation in ukraine following russia's invasion, that the chief prosecutor current con, says this reasonable basis to believe alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in the attacks. neither of the 2 countries are members of the i. c. c bought ukraine has accepted his jurisdiction in the past. russia for its part, does not recognize the court's authority a toll. meanwhile, an amnesty international and human rights watch of accused russia if he was in cluster ammunition and vacuum bombs on civilians. weapons are banned under the geneva convention. but moscow is not part of that international treaty. and out of

some of the other headlines related to the war in ukraine, ukraine's navy says its soldiers stationed on snake island are alive and have been taken as prisoners of war by russia. they were presumed killed, after refusing to surrender to a russian warship in the black sea. there defined response went viral and ukrainian president brought him his lensky, honor them as heroes of ukraine. the united states as expelling 12 russian un diplomats accusing them of being spies, rushes u. n. a basset of a silly events here told a session and the security council about the move calling it a hostile step. he later refused to specify whether he was among those told to leave his to grade miss unit turkeys. president recipe ad one says he'll block russian warships from key waterways to the black sea. 1936 treaty gives turkey the right to stop military vessels from passing through the darden els and boss for

a straits. during wartime, several russian ships have recently passed through the straits into the black sea, which also borders ukraine. western sanctions have sent the value of the russian rouble plummeting. the currency has fallen to record lowe's. russian scramble to withdraw money from cash machines. russia central bank doubled its key interest rate to prop up the cut currency. united nations says more than 660000 people have fled ukraine since the invasion began. the majority have so far headed to poland, un fears that number could rise to 4000000 in the coming weeks. shelters have been set up along the border with ukraine. our following report comes from a pretty jam shop where ordinary polish people are giving some of the refugees. a welcome. another train arrives at pre jama. shall station in

poland on board. refugees who are fleeing from the neighboring woods zone in ukraine. most arriving here are women, children, and the elderly. at the moment, ukrainian man age between 18 and 60 who are fit for military service are not allowed to leave ukraine. it is heartily very hard, especially for little children, but somehow we did it and we're here now. i am glad for the children, but i am very worried about the family members who decided to stay in ukraine prevents with us. we are so grateful to the polish people who are helping ukraine putting is a sick man. something is wrong with him. if he were smart, he wouldn't have begun the war and the 1st place. we're living the 21st century gospel, my teaching volunteers give the refugees food and every day items they might find useful in the main whole courts have been lay down

so ukrainians can rest outside the station, volunteers off of the new come as a free ride to the next city, they take them to cat to reach a crack out, or even berlin young people. i can give 3 people a ride. for example, a woman and 2 children. i am willing and able to help my mother the most. poland is well prepared for this stream of people. for weeks they've been following government orders to set up 8 centers like this one called ukranian house to offer help, including temporary accommodation. but these are chaotic times and not every one fling ukraine has found poland, quite so welcoming, including foreign students the ukrainians. well, we're looking in the foreigners,

noah. they're going to get their dorms like some have also complained of pulled treatment at the hands of ukrainian border gods hold the black people are the people, especially big while i sold made them little were they are gone to them have minds . there was no way like just people wanted to or they stop us like got see our they didn't let oswald land and people get like aggressive poll says it submitted your man 3 150000 people for more than a 120 countries with more raging just a few kilometers away. sympathy for the refugees is mixed with a fear of what might come next of one of the refugee situation that's being chris meltzer. he's a senior spokesperson with the you and refugee agency, the you and hcr, and he joins me from chest off near the polish border with you cried a chris describe for us a situation. where are you right now?

what are we seeing behind you? well, i mean directly in a, at the, at the board i am close to a reception center and very busy are many refugees of course. but he also many, many poets who help these refugees offering free rights, offering free zone cards and other things. and that's why the, it's a little cloud, chaotic here but, but actually the, the boot is not bad. okay, so this is the hot spot where you are a right now a reception center near the polish border, but give us a broader picture about the refugee situation. what does it look like right now? i've mentioned that figure 660000. this is quite a recent figure, it's quite new, more than half of them are here. holland right now, we have to expect many more people because we know that there are still long lines of cars. many kilometers 15, maybe 20 kilometers on the border crossing points. so there are still many people

who are trying to flee ukraine and yet they were coming here to poland, but also to early hungary, mo, davia, slovakia, and other countries. so we all remember the, the refugee crisis in a 2015, but has europe seen anything like this? the refugee refugees coming from ukraine since the 2nd world war? actually, not since the 2nd world war 2 sat there. well, many refugee crisis. i remember probably the balkans all when the russians invaded hungary and 9056, hundreds of thousands fled to austria and other countries, but 66060000 within less than 5 days. this is indeed unprecedented. from your point of view, are the refugees getting the support they need? probably not they need because you when you are rectory you need so much more. but

we can really say that the polish government and also the polish people are really trying to help. so yes, so many initiatives, so many so many support for the people that is really hard warming when we talk to the refugees. they also say that it is that, that, that the, the, the feel that they are welcomed. but of course they were left to go home to normal . it's what we're here. so often in the house i want to go home. i will appear to have lost a video with you there. chris nelson speaking there from you and hcr crystal, how difficult is it for ukrainians to get out of the country? it is difficult because they are so many who try to go get out of the country. so some have to wait $3040.00 even 50 hours. but in the opponent had opened the border and that's why it can be sure that they are accepted in poland.

and this is probably the most important thing. so what are you expecting for the days ahead? a similar situation like we have right now, as mentioned, still so many try to come on and we hope that the reception facilities here in poland and the other neighboring countries are good enough to to accept so many more people. but it will be a challenge. definitely, because most of their from thank you and hcr. thank you. thank you. bye bye. you are in need of you still to come just moments from now? we expect him to hear from your cranium president vladimir lensky, who is in ki, if he'll be speaking virtually to the european parliament. and we'll bring you that live as soon as it happens. she. but 1st, the latest developments russian troops are continuing their advance on the ukrainian capital keefe satellite images appear to show a convoy of military vehicles stretching more than 60 kilometers just north of the
