a russian artillery attack on the outskirts of q. the family who lived here clearly escaped with their lives. look now they watched their home go up in flames. it didn't come to me. i was opening the fridge and it fell on me. i could barely get out. my wife was in another room. she broke the window and got out as well. before we went to the cellar, but it was burning. so we went to our neighbors. in a village further to the west of kias, the people in this van were not so lucky. witnesses say they were killed by russian forces passing through war to jackie coleclo. when the convoy was driving him, one person went outside and he was shot, a local medic and his son tried to take him to the hospital, but they didn't let them. and we lost 3 people. no one wants to pick them up from the car because, well, there might be explosives inside neighbors. i've been frederick our furniture

before. the key of itself has suffered massive damage under russian bombardment. security forces here are preparing for a possible ground assault in the occupied city of melli topple to the south of the country. russian soldiers were handing out food. it's the 2nd city and ukraine said to be under the invaders control after have sung. ukrainian officials say the cities of mich alive and mar, you pull, have repelled attacks. so far. military analysts say the russians are trying to establish a southeastern corridor between the crimean peninsula and the lou ganske region. if russia's plan works, it would mean ukrainian forces, like this tank unit in lugens, would be encircled on 3 sides. but spirits here are still high. i with wouldn't that the m will when not allowing the enemy to advance and we're

defending our infantry. we won't allow it to be destroyed. we're back in them up. gunner's sweat as infantry blood, as we say. were brittle dorothy grog, lindsay. ukraine is hanging on, but seems to be losing ground. and the cost in human life rises every day. our correspondent, funny for sure is joining me now. she is in a chair. nifty in western ukraine. funny russian forces will stop will have partly stopped already firing to allow humanitarian corridors out of the ukrainian cities are of maria paul are vol nava car. what do you know about that? local authority, semarino pool, have just confirmed that that she may to inquiry door will start so people can be evacuated during the day to day. now we have to remind everyone here that mario pool was heavily shell during the past couple of days. people are not just spending just your night in bomb shelters, but basically we're staying there for days. also,

the a mayor of muddy poor in a very emotional address in a video address and friday may clear that elegy that apparently there's no electricity, no running water. so very basics of, of, of what you need are missing are lacking right now for people. so it's very, very crucial time now to evacuate people as a, as ukrainian forces are actually expecting that regardless whether they say, unity of course, or is going to be set up. and that's not going to stop russia to a shall other cities in the meantime. in fact, rushes defense minister has just said that they're going to continue with their attacks. there is hope now, at least for the citizens of matthew pool, that at least the citizens of that city in the south is strategically a located in a southern, a part of ukraine can leave mario pool. but let's really see how that's going to a tour. now the i will, so skepticism is also skepticism on the ground here after all. oh, and after the 2nd round of the so called peace talks between ukrainian,

russian delegation says ceasefire and, and, and to many tearing corridors. we're also promised that we haven't seen that unfold, but now that the local authorities in muddy pool are seeing that they believe that's going to happen. at least the hopes are increasing for the people of mario poor. and of course you mentioned already, the intensity of the fighting off attacks is increasing. what's the situation where you are? i'm here basically at the i would call it the trends each town a towards the remaining board of yeah. about 50 kilometers away from a romania people who come here internally displaced. people from ukraine are trying to say, let's say for a couple of hours a couple of days before they face that next challenge crossing the border to both a romania things here in the study, tennessee are quite peaceful, i should say, relatively peaceful because of course we have heard the sirens blaring during the

past couple of days. people going to bomb shelters here as well. there's a civilian airport nearby. no, russia claims. they're not going to attack civilian infrastructure on the military units. but of course, we have seen that during the past couple of days, or in fact, i should rather say for more than a week now that civilian infrastructure has been also affected. so people here in this relatively peaceful our town in the southern, the western part of ukraine. ah, not a 100 percent. sure. obviously just how long this town is going to remain safe. right . funny, fisher stay safe. ah, and thank you so much for this report. of a more let sir, bring in consenting, exit. now he's a russian political analyst and he can tell us more about the russian perspective. konstantin, let's 1st begin with this recent development. russia ordering a ceasefire to ensure humanitarian corridors. what's behind that move?

what does that mean? well unfortunately i think that behind this move is a massive sold on value, but i think this is a way for the driver to say, well you see we made everything possible. ready to save the civilians, whoever didn't leave the city. well, we have nothing more to do that. we are not to blame. as you probably see, the offense it seems to be focusing now not on taking the sit is which i think military is quite quite said because trying to storm even my job, who will mean house to house fighting, which is next huge casualties. all the attacking side, but i think it's actually besieging the cities, including an important mario and showing them indiscriminately. and this is really, really, i'm afraid, very bad news for the civilian population. and this seems to be the tactic now

order than the strategy of the russian boston grants, which has been losing steam and which seems to be drummed into a hole it's, it will be, i mean, it will require, it's difficult for the russian forces. now to continue taking more territory, taking more it is controlling more. but the certainly trying to take more nuclear power plants view as a message to the u. n. says that russian forces are now closing in on ukraine. second largest nuclear power plant. after receiving the largest one on friday, what is russia strategy here? well, i am afraid, there are 2 aims here. one is purely strict. did you go to control a significant part of ukraine's energy grid and supply of energy central. but the 2nd thing is a psychological parkway, which is very much in the style of love to hear fulton look. i'm so crazy. i don't

care if i show your problems. so hoping that the west will rush to him and say, well whatever you want, but just don't leave districts. and i think that this maybe even the main calculation in terms of psychological warfare with ukraine. and frankly, speaking with the west, i suppose that this is one. this is one of the very few tools that are in the kremlin cycle war arsenal, and they are using right company, a little analyst, and russia expose. thank you so much. the you and refugee agency says more than 1200000 people have fled ukraine to neighboring countries. many of them are children fleeing with their mothers, while ukrainian men stay and fight, help us in the neighboring countries say children are arriving traumatized. d. w correspondent, monica she, raska reports from finish shell near the polish border with ukraine.

around 40000 people are arriving here each day. one, the refugee from we'll korean told me or is something for other not for children. the children of ukraine are fleeing who are and are arriving here at this railway station near the border. they bring with them the trauma of upheaval, fear, and sometimes wars, lima williams. if there's been no war, our houses would have stood. my grandfather now sleeps with a gun or one yet. so little. i think we can do it, that it will get better in ukraine and that we will win. ah, see just that? i cannot say anything. i waited so long i cried so much. i have nothing to say. we spend a very long time on the train and a very long time standing. i am grateful to poland that it welcomes our compatriots
