bridge where they had to slip or pass under, and that's where he went. he went further inside. that's what we know inside the town of it peanuts of a satellite town or a small town just outside of keys. and there somewhere he encountered a checkpoint and he was short there. that's what his a fellow, a fellow journalist was traveling with him and was also shot, but not deadly. told a told, told people and a, yeah, we don't exactly know how he got there and how this happened. but it seems that this, let's what's the key of police said that he was killed by a russian bullet. he was shot in their head. now when he is for also hearing that there appears to be a consolidation of russian forces on the outskirts of t. if, how is this impacting people inside the city? so what's important to know is that there hasn't been

a noticeable advance of russian force if fighting is happening in a pin as the place we've just talked about and neighboring boucher and hostile model, which is an airport next to it, which has been under attack from the very, very beginning, but it seems like that the russians have been able to keep their positions there and to fortify some of the places and to gain firm a control of these places advance is happy also been there. they have also been advances from the north east that's on the other side of town, or from the direction of cheney here. that's the direction of the russian border and the, this, these forces there have been advancing and being repelled over the time. so the games may may not be as noticeable, but what a intelligence is saying is that they have 45, their positions there for the people here and keep this means that most people or

more than half as the official estimate sco have left the city. um and people are expecting some kind of either an attack on the city or the closure of a ringer on the city and siege to the city. and that's why the streets of re empty those who are in the city, which is of course, controlled by the military. lots of block posts and of course barriers on the, on the roads that lead out of the city so that the tongues might be slow down. if they try to enter the city of those who are inside the city, keep the heads low. they don't go out too much. you don't see people like chatting on the street sitting around. but people do go about their daily business, but they don't spend a lot of time on the streets. all right, that was d w, as correspondent, he has bidding of reporting for us from ukraine's capital here mathias, thanks for your reporting will last weekend and key of
