the hockey's, russia has warned residence there to flee as it plans for the air strikes like those seen in recent days. a russian missile strikes a tv tower in cave. in her cave, a government building goes up in flames. both attacks killed people. russia is ramping up its assault on ukraine as a 60 kilometer long, russian convoy of armored vehicles closes in on the capital. thousands of ukrainians still desperately trying to flee. though, staying behind a facing the horrors of war, washington will not be. we had a fight at 5 am. is the color the them all. we were retreating and near us. a meter away from me. a mine blue of my friend's arms and

legs. little grey, the wife. i tried to save him. i pulled him away, but he didn't make it. yeah, your demo them? no, sir. so why you're warmer ukraine's president valona me. zalinski has asked nato to set up a no fly zone and has also applied to join the european union. are fighting processes and it just for our land. and for our freedom, alicia diesel. when might the fighting in santa that's all like cities of our country are now blocked a lot. we are facing them also him to be equal members of europe. ers, i believe that good to day me. we book motion with our showing everybody. that's exactly what we are used to do,

prove that you are with us. so when do prove it, you will not let us go. it was an impassioned plea for help. as the political discussions continue, the ukrainian fighting spirit remains strong, antidote correspond mathias bullying. i now joins us from alvis and west and ukraine for the latest from the grandeur mathias reports are coming in that the russian military has taken control over the city. of course, on what more can you tell us while it's a bit unclear at the moment when we've seen as pictures of tags inside the city center of casanya, the railway station and also some administrative buildings. it seems that they have entered the city whether they have full control or not is unclear where fighting seems to be going on. or the ukrainian cy denies that the, the russians have taken full control and are saying that they still control parts

of the city. i think we'll get to clear a picture in a few hours or maybe days. so your current president vladimir zalinski. i gave her an address today and he sounded very defiant. let's a listening to what he said. to make it such a slow, just think about this figure. these almost 6000 russians died or as his russian serviceman here within 6 days of war, a figure without the enemy's losses from the past night, 6000 to get what about their mother ukraine? it isn't possible then that will not happen with rockets there. it will not happen with bombs net tanks or any strikes. we are on our land and they'll be an international tribunal to prosecute them for the war against us mission. our old me there will now global president louise lansky. this, he mentioned the ukrainian estimate of russia's death toll so far. what do we know

about her? the morale among russia's military ended on the ukrainian side. yeah, this is the yoke ukrainian estimate. of course, you need to treat this with caution. there are no numbers by the russian side published by the russian side. also, there are no numbers published by the ukrainian side on ukrainian losses, or at least no angle cases or whether this is systemic. it, it is something that the soviet union and russia have done before that they bring in young recruits without giving them the full picture. we also hearing that communication or is often lost for these are these groups death. cell phones have been, have been confiscated so they can not report back from the front, but there were not given proper maps that something the ukrainian military says that they have not file found a single map inside of these vehicles that they have captured. so it's it, the picture that we're getting now now we need to really be careful with this

because this is a war and every side gives only the information that they want to give. but the picture that we're getting now is that this has been a terrible miss plan of became a misconception of this incursion, badly equipped, badly prepared russian military. but a russian military that has a lot of arms, a lot of tags, and a lot of manpower. so we shouldn't draw the conclusion from this than this is over in any way. i think this is, this might be a lasting for some time. even despite these reports, the parts are off of those are that, that manpower and our weaponry, it seems to be fully a massive column of earth, or on the outskirts of a keith. is the capital capable of a palate attack by a force like that. well, you could expect that the capital is one of the most fortified places, one of the places that ukraine has prepared to defend. it's a question of course,

on how long this will last and also how well russia organize. is there support from the other side? you will see all these vehicles on satellite imagery, but we don't really know how well they are, for example, equipped with, with fuel, with food, how long they can stand, then they don't seem to be moving at the moment. we also don't know what that meant to do. are they meant to invade into into the city and engaged in fights in the streets of ki, of, or are they meant to encircle the city, to lay siege on the city. this, these 2 things are completely different and they would needed completely different response from those who defend the city. so that's very hard to say at the moment. we see it's an impressive number and we've seen impressive numbers all over. now of course, on the ground, we are also seeing that ukraine has been prepared much better than many have so thought it is not here. and we have some more headlines related to the war in ukraine for you. you, as president joe biden says,

the united states and its allies are standing united in the face of russia's aggression towards ukraine. in his 1st state of the union address to lawmakers, biden's that the, the craniums fight wasn't. it's by inspiration to the world. and the russian president vladimir putin was now more isolated than ever before. while we're 29 of the u. k. has relaxed its immigration rules for ukrainians, fleeing rushes, invasion of the public criticism, at least $100000.00 ukrainians with close family ties will be allowed to enter the country. they'll have the right to stay for 12 months, but we'll still have to pass security checks. ty, once president has urged the wealth democracies not to turn a blind eye to military aggression, sighing when also pledge to donate a month salary. to ukraine's relief efforts, attentions are high between taiwan and its neighbour china, which considers the either the breakaway province and has vowed reunification with

. the united nations says more than 660000 people have now fled ukraine. since the invasion began with the majority crossing over into poland, but some ukrainians are travelling in the other direction. the men who were out of harm's way returning to defend their homeland dw mcsaunder reports shamika the train station is no place to stay. those who can keep on going inland and away from the border. not these men. they are heading in the other direction. oh, i'm not risking anything a month on the road. you need all jacked a mam. how could i live with myself and stay here in a stretch to play? sergey has a wife and 2 daughters in ukraine, leaving his job in poland and returning home to ukraine to fight was not a hard choice for him. not old will. i was just in shock mow my yard units on

which was door more. my family was home, my wife called me when you and i could hear the bombings over the phone says, telephone or your girl. she's got them rebel with patricia. he has a bullet proof vest and 2 helmets organized by his friends. i ask him if he thinks they are going to keep him safe, not doing it or not with the girl. i am going to put it on and i'm going to shoot russians until i find out a job watching tough talk to cope with the situation. sir gays scared, he tells us who would be on the platform. the train to warsaw is expected any minutes? here we meet katerina, she just arrived from ukraine. in my susie, i have mother and grandmother and they're, they're probably coming to here. my father trained to defend as well as missing proud of him and of course and worries like most ukrainian men. her father had to

stay and fight. the 21 year old is moved by the volunteers returning to ukraine to join her father's wrecks. i admire their etiquette and courage, like i said, they're going from other countries to our country to defend its ends and that's admirable. their time has come together with his comrades. sergei makes his way to the bus. he doesn't know if he will ever come back. but for now, there's only one thing on his mind defending the homeland from the russian invasion . ah, that's a cross over to the w grossman, a max santo file that we bought. he's standing by for us at the polish ukrainian board, a max men returning to you trying to fight. is that a big movement that you're seeing there? we'll more can you tell us? oh yes. got it seems that there are quite a few people,

not just coming from ukraine, but actually moving the opposite way, going, backing to and we've heard some really moving in, partially very desperate before. so when we working on that story that we just saw, everybody who voted that bus that was going across from the border, going to move that they were putting themselves into a very dangerous situation. that was not just men were going to fight that also number of women. i spoke to a lady mom who was working in cyprus and now decided to come back to ukraine to be with her 2 children. and she said they need their mama and she is very afraid herself, but she said, what else can i do? i just normally choice and this is also the, the feeling that a lot of men have right now that are working abroad. like so. again, you showing the report i, he's a forklift driver who is working and pauses on who has his family and you and he never carried a gun. he's not a military man. he knows that he's putting himself in

a very difficult situation. and the very horrible experience, perhaps in which you might end up giving his life. but he's determined to, to fight this fight and his, he and the other people who are going to fight know that if they don't do this, they don't help their military. nobody else probably will have been for a couple of days now where you are there near the polish ukrainian board on the polish side. what else have you been seeing that? so we're at the train nations shamelessly alyssa, watertown, this is the place we're trains coming from ukraine would make the 1st entry into poland. and let's sit the scene a bit. let's give you a little view of what the situation is here on the ground. it's become a little bit calm over the last hours or so people come and then they go. so the

polish authorities are trying to make sure that people are really transported away from this place. however, when they come here and there is no proper registration but they are trying to help out with transportation with coordination, people also can receive some food. there's a place to rest so they can catch her breath and get some much needed rest after days on the run. but at the end of the day, as some people who come here are quite frankly, the people who works would stay here. the train station or people that are in a situation where they don't know where exactly they can turn to, they don't have family or friends in crane or perhaps not other places in europe. so some of them the site to stand, stay here despite free transportation going inland on because this place for them is as good as any other opponent bearing the brunt they're off that a huge influx of refugees from ukraine. and paula being a country that has been a reluctant in the past to take in refugees from the middle east. for example. how

come there's such a shift in the mindset now? that's very hard question to answer on your right in the past of poland was among the countries in the u. that would always blocker a common migration. the style policy, for example, would refuse to take in people from the middle east. now the situation is very different. i minister him of his mill, i guess he said a mistake from a couple days ago that he was very happy and he was overwhelmed by how polish people were actually helping pitching in trying to receive equal here i'm so what, what caused this change sentiment not really clear on perhaps a candidate could be that polish government feels a more close.
