a peanuts, the place we've just talked about and neighboring, boucher and hostile mode, 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 javier. so been there. they have also been atlantis 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 these are 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 are more than half as the officials estimate sco i have left the city am and

people are expecting some kind of either an attack on the city or the closure of a ringer on the city and the 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, those who are inside the city and 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. let's look at some other developments in the conflict . ukraine's besieged port city of maria paul is running out of its last reserves of food and water. the city council said it also alleged that russian forces blockading the city continue to shall, non military targets. ukrainian president followed me. zalinski urged the russian

and that makes the city likely russian targets and capturing or death ports. russia would be able to cut off ukraine from the black sea and from all supplies coming in by ship. ah, time and again, air raid sirens, go off and to residents have to seek shelter. it's almost too much to bear. alexandra tells me. her family has lived in odessa for 4 generations, but now alexandra says it's time for her and her daughter to flee. this issue, so boom, on behalf of wilma, i've been thinking the long should i leave my home, my family, my husband was who's been my i love it, it's so hard. accordingly, you take only the necessities and go, but everything it's necessary when they're when they move. so but as far as mama go at each time i wake up and my mom says for we need to take cover,

i would take the cad, the phone and height of the home. so we sit there until the alarm is over and we seemed on lot of copies of winchester warmer. many people have already left believing that it's just a question of time before moscow twice to capture odessa. or this is ties with russia, stretch back many centuries to city founded by russian empress. catherine the great is still largely russian speaking. but despite the deep seated connections, the people of odessa are prepared to meet, put in full dress with fierce resistance. we visited, it's called it's now a volunteer center. one is natalia, it's in charge here. her message to the russian troops is simple. robin, i know him again. we don't want to be liberated. we are living wonderful news. we don't need to be liberated. they should not make up any myths about that or believe them and use them as a pretext to violate or a peaceful life. natalia says,
