ah ah, i'm healing mohammed, welcome to the program, negotiations between ukraine and russia have failed to deliver progress toward ending moscow's 12 day war. before the talks began, ukraine rejected a russian proposal to create humanitarian corridors for civilians to escape. most of the corridors would lead to russia or as ally, bella roost. a plan that ukraine has caused, immoral. ukrainian delegation flew to buy the roof for the 3rd round of negotiations with russia. after ukraine said there were small positive steps, but no significant improvements. meanwhile, russian forces continued to attack cities across ukraine, south and east, and ukraine. army chief has warned that russian troops are preparing to storm the capital. a warning this report contains images. some viewers may find distressing.

the people of european just outside key of our leaving their city has become the latest front line moved on us. there's a huge column right now around $200.00 men up to 50 light armored vehicles. several tanks, literally 2 kilometers from here on the main street of your pain. after negotiations for a safe evacuation route out of your pin failed, many of the cities inhabitants decided to flee to the capitol. europeans, mayor, said 8 civilians were killed on sunday alone. many are angry at the west for not stepping in to tell the whole world that they should help. why aren't they helping the americans and the british? where are the plains shout to the world, get every one to help france germany, britain should help young. i live with guy, far to the east of give in ukraine's 2nd largest city. her keith,
12:03 am
the emergency hospital is full of wounded civilians. most of us is on the 25th. we were shelled my brother and i came to get blood and were shelled. the blood transfusion center was shelled. we had just left the center and we were shell by rushing occupier bomb. this is more abroad. my mother died the next day and i remained at the hospital as shrapnel wounds in my legs. i was so so really caught in. patience can hear the bombs outside as russian artillery and airstrikes ran deadly munitions on her keith. here to another appeal to the rest of the world to intervene. yellowstone was begging the whole of society, say, please get together and help to close the skies over ukraine, but help our military save our civilian something good and i must have it. but at the moment, nato has decided not to close the airspace, citing the risk of starting a much larger war with russia. people here holding on,
12:04 am
but it is unclear what will remain of their city if russian bombardment continues at this rate. although been a rushing military convoy outside cave for days, the w correspondent, nick connolly is there and sent us this assessment of what people in the ukrainian capital feel is yet to come. i think in the early days of this war, there was a hope that somehow ukraine could reach ordinary russians. we saw lots of, you can pop stall, youtube. people have a falling in russia, trying to directly address people in russia. get those people out on the street to moscow, pittsburgh city to protest, try and put pressure on the russian government to draw back to end this war. i think lots of great news now are increasingly disillusioned and less willing to believe that the russian brought population, even if they're against this war, willing to risk anything and actually come out against this. i think in ukraine now it was, it is increasing disillusionment with the west. yes. the west is getting weapons
12:05 am
but not as many of the kind that you can once nature refuse to close the sky. it's great and no flood zone over the country, which would allow ukraine to push its advantage on the ground through and to really make inroads into that rushing involved. so i think there is increasing kind of understanding here in ukraine that basically agree brand can only rely. ready on itself, its own army and people are increasingly believing that they might even have a chance against russia given how many difficulties russians are having with just sticks. how many problems with their own hardware, lots of which isn't a lot worse condition than what's expected. so it's basically a question of switching this out and trying to keep on going until somehow miraculously, maybe ukraine is able to push these are some troops out, or the russians decide to call it quits. but i think the hope that somehow russian civil society would weigh in and prevent the criminal doing is i think that is unfortunately, i hope that is growing increasingly scattered among ordinary things. earlier we spoke to our russia analyst from and gone to ranko. and after thousands of
12:06 am
protesters were arrested across russia over the weekend, we asked him how russians are viewing this invasion. we've seen that russian propaganda is very effective. it is working, and it has been working for years. so when we look at the state polls in russia, they show that up to the 4th of the russian population actually support lodging, their schools in actions in ukraine. some independent polls make a different picture, but not very much. so we've seen, for example, estimates of the live auto center in moscow. they say am up to 2 thirds of russian . so 60 percent plus support the current russian actions in ukraine support this war. so i would say it is possible that russians could stop large and they're putting but, but there are a few russians who can do that. it's in minority. meanwhile, russia announced several local si,
12:07 am
fi is that would open up humanitarian corridors. he w william craft takes a closer look at this. there does seem to be some irony here in russian forces that have been firing on civilians now saying they are going to be the ones to protect them. and let's look at what the so called humanitarian quarters look like that. the russian military announce today they've said they're going to come out of 4 cities, the capital of keys, the 2nd largest city. hi keith. maria. paula, we've been hearing is completely surrounded, besieged cut off from the rest of the country, and the city of sue me now from cave. they're saying they would take ukrainian civilians into bel errors into the city of homo, and from hockey and sue me to the russian city of belgrade. and for maria, maria paul, just across the border into ross, off on gone. now, you might be wondering why would ukrainian civilians bee put their fates into the hands of russian soldiers and be brought to fates on certain in russia and bellow roots,
12:08 am
which are enemies of ukraine right now. and if you're wondering that you're not alone, ukraine's government has called this announcement immoral french president emanuel mac phone said it's cynical and hypocritical, especially in light of 2 attempts over the weekend to get civilians out of maria poll. both fail due to suspected russian attacks breaking those local cease fires. now the cities are major population centers and they've been under heavy bombardment for days. we can see on our next map, when we overlay where the cities are, where the fighting is. you can see it might not look like things have changed much in the last few days. but that's because military analysts say a russian forces are regrouping. they're getting ready for renewed assaults on key . if you could see here they're moving in both from the north coming around from the west and also coming across the east trying to surround that city. we've heard of course, maria poll is completely cut off, besieged by sit by russian forces on all sides. heavy bombardment and hi keith. so
12:09 am
it is very, very heavy fighting, even as ukraine forces have reportedly been able to beat back some of the advances and are still challenging russia for control of the air space. now regardless of how these humanitarian quarters worked out, if they hold it all. busy how successful they might be if anybody even takes them up on that offer. the overall picture, as you can see here remains one of sheer terror and all out war. and remember, it is still rather unclear what latimer putin's ultimate in game is. now weston ukraine has remained relatively safe so far with the heaviest fighting taking place in other parts of the country which a crane's offense forces are preparing for a possible russian attack. d. w is alexandra vaughan. norman purports a chick point on the outskirts of loot, skin, north western ukraine, sasha barbados, one of the local fighters who have joined ukraine's defense forces. he tells me
