ah, i've been fuel and welcome dozens of ukrainian soldiers have been killed in a russian missile strike on a military base in mac ally of in southern ukraine. the strike is one of the deadliest attacks on a ukrainian military target since the start of the war and its fear, the death toll could rise significantly. it comes as russia's military pushes further into the besieged port of mary opposite the aftermath of a russian missile attack and nichol live. it's believed 200 soldiers were inside. at the time the base was struck. rescuers raced to find survivors in the rubble, but are forced to seek safety. when an air raid siren rings out,

the constant threat of bombardment has forced people here under ground ideas that was lovely. i can't tell you how scared we are. we will live in the cellar now, when the bombs hit the army base, everything shook to the east. russians are pushing deeper into the besieged city of mario pole. ukraine says 90 percent of the city has been damaged or destroyed by russian bombardment. it's thought over a 1000 people were sheltering inside this theatre when it was destroyed by a russian strike. hundreds are still missing. the city has no heat, water or power. the mayor said that fighting in the city center made rescue mission impossible. those who were able to flee said the situation was desperate immediately, but we sat in the basement for 10 days without going outside, even once we didn't have water or electricity. luckily,

we could use our neighbor's bomb shelter when he's on his way. and he couldn't even, i could never imagine that a bomb would had a house next to mine, that my district will be literally wiped out. the outskirts of the city were simply destroyed. and then i realized that there were no safe places in the city any more was what she was up on me in a potential escalation, russia says it's used a hypersonic missile for the 1st time in combat in ukraine. the missile shown here, and footage from the defense ministry has a range of up to 2000 kilometers and is difficult to intercept. unfortunately, it may be, they case sir, but very important. yes, you're drawing attention that they did. they fired this hypersonic. i me south, which means that most likely, they are testy in the, you know, they so kind of weapons and as well as other you weapon on the, the ukrainian territory. so, unfortunately, and this might be the case in further, they operations. ukraine's president has called for peace talks,

but russia's war machine shows no signs of stopping. they w corresponded they connolly joins us from the vivian waste in ukraine. nick, what can you tell us about this strike on the ukrainian military base at mc goliath where we have 1st few details because in times of war and the cranial authorities are keeping all these details very tightly under wraps, this military sense, ship hearing crane as there is on the russian side, but we know that michael have is the seen of pretty intense fighting some of the most intense fighting you've seen in recent weeks here. it's a key city on the way to odessa, ukraine's biggest port on the black sea. the russian seemingly trying to cut ukraine off from its anti coastline. it's already almost done that in the see of as of oni multiple holding out. so the next target would be a desa without which ukraine is very, am in it very difficult place in terms of economically into the exports in terms of getting supplies to fuel the future. so a lot of fighting going on that it had seemed, in recent days, like the ukrainians were actually pushing the russian forces back back towards had

sold the only major russian city that ukraine's to rather the russians had taken so far. but now it seems an uptick in russian activity in the air and using rushes at predominance in the skies to bomb this military facility. and if the reports marrying are correct, then significant casualties, indic alive among those ukrainian soldiers. i mentioned the other main port, city of money all pulled before. what's the latest you're hearing about the fighting that witnessing extraordinary depressing, sad images marble city as one of its residents who i was able to reach told me just isn't there any more the city is gone. mary poll is no more. that's what he had to say. at least and pretty difficult to give more in the way of detail. bizarre basic, no independent journalist on the ground, but she monitoring catastrophe, certainly people there without power, without heating, without reliable food supplies. now for weeks, people are beginning to get out some of those humanitarian corridors that had failed in recent weeks and now happening. but it's all pretty chaotic. some of

people i spoke to told me they just got in their car and there was no coordination . they were just able to get out, so there wasn't any coordinated route out by bus. they just got in the car, had heard that it was possible and didn't even meet any russian or ukrainian checkpoints until they'd got a couple of 100 kilometers away. so that gives you a sense for quite how chaotic situation is on the ground. some people lucky enough to get out. and but lots people not wanting to risk being attacked on the way out, and just hunkering down their sellers for further days to come. and i understand it's difficult to get a reliable information. but what about these accusations from the city administration of morale poles that are russians have been abducting several 1000 people from that city and bring them to russia. we're definitely seems a listen. what we've heard from people down the ground that out of certain parts of the city, those pot city that are closer to where the russian forces are based, where the russians have more sway weights, very difficult to get to ukrainian held. but the city that those who place he there in the auction out is to leave via russian control territory. and that basically

people are not being given the choice if they want to, to head west to was agreeing hel, tirty. that basically being told you are only what option now is to lead towards rush. we've heard reports of the russians then organizing camps on russian territory to then busy or go through these people to work out who they are to work out if they're gonna allow them to stay in russia. or if these are people who, who may be ukrainian or loyal, this is where people have served in ukraine's much in the past, sort of fear their long people, marable, that if they have served new friends military, if they have been active in your politics, that if they end up being taken to rush against their will, that they will facing differently negative consequences for themselves. so a lot of uncertainty out of worry there marable and other people who are still trying to get out. but don't know how and what about the situation where you are in live, if well, the live is a city that is just full to the brim with refugees from across the country. you see, number plates with numbers from and plates from across the country had different key of from odessa. so it's basically impossible get a hotel room and apartment,

lots of people trying to head towards europe towards the you through leave, but of cement in age of 18. 60 aren't allowed to leave you crying right now. so this is basically the end of the life for them. lots of men here trying to work out, they can still make a living of c. crane's economic situation is very difficult. but equally often now they're not being called up there. sort of full mobilization. only people who have combat experience are being pulled up. she claims military for now. so lots people just waiting, trying to work out what to do. wondering whether to send their families west to safety in the you or to stay together here and a very tense to especially since in recent days we have seen air attacks on targets here leaf. so the sense that there is no way really on ukrainian church that is fully safe from russian attacks right now. economy. thank you very much for the update. nato was currently sending more troops to its eastern border. the u. s. alone will soon have more than 100000 troops across all of europe presents not seen on the continent in almost 20 years.

and it's not just the land american ships are underway in european waters, including the aircraft carrier. harry s truman didn't use steven beardsley was on board the ship in the mediterranean. he sent us this report. the constant wine of jet engines, day and night, aboard this carrier. the u. s. s. harry s. truman lodges. f. 18 super hornets. like these daily to patrol nato's eastern flank for stray russian jets. there are fuel in the sky with nato partners, and remain on station for hours under nato command. it's a level coordination. the alliance has been practicing for decades to day with added urgency. ah, below decks, the pressure is always high. now the chance of an encounter with russian aircraft added to it. yes, it's in the back of our mind, but i think that the level training we've gotten in our expectations relative to

our rules of engagement is such that we're in a position to, to really deal with whatever comes with the truman is more than air power. it's accompanied by missile carrying destroyers, almost certainly a submarine, thousands of sailors work to keep operations going. they've been at sea for months, and no one knows how long the deployment will last. carriers like the truman or classic symbol of us and nato power projection. the ability to deliver military might almost that will around the world for nato members. that's reassuring for the current conflict in ukraine, all this fire power still doesn't have much use. nato's focus instead has been preventing the war from widening. that's why the u. s. wants these deployments to be visible. it's wide invites reporters aboard. and it's why the navy secretary has come to the truman for a visit. i would argue that the situation is quite stable here in the mediterranean

sea. we have russian vessels that are out here. the american vessels, we have french vessels, we have italian vessels, we have spanish vessels, and it's a piece of situation here, as long as the russians continued to behave. and so, and that's what we want them to do. a message amplified by truman's presence that a native not yet at war believes that can still deter one through strength is a look at some other developments in the conflict. ukrainian president brought him his the lensky, his accused roster of deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine. he repeated his appeal for direct talks with russian president vladimir putin. cholenski said negotiations would not be easy or pleasant, but they unnecessary women and the leaders of india and japan of cold for an immediate hold to the violence in ukraine. japan's full yoke is shita had urged no end remotely to take a tough a line on russia's invasion after india abstained in you when votes condemning its invasion. but the joint statement fell short of criticizing moscow's actions even

written that this will be signed on the japanese. this week was the 11th anniversary of the uprising that led to serious civil war. thousands protested in cities across the rebel held north. boyd, by the global outcry over the other russian invasion of ukraine. they expressed solidarity with the ukrainian people and demanded action against vladimir putin. analysts say the russian president used syria as a practice ground for his troops. but i, his soldiers in ukraine running out of steam because now moscow says it's recruiting fighters from syria to join the assault on ukrainian cities. moscow has spoken of bringing in thousands of syrian militia fight, has with experience in urban combat. and a lot of shows you were not afraid of this war and are ready and waiting for a marching orders, you know, those yard assyrian militia leader delivering a warning to ukraine from a church. now bill abdulla says he wants to give the ukrainians a lesson. they will never forget. no,

you didn't. bureaus ya are $700.00 orthodox christian fighters under his command, a militia that takes his orders from president, a sad, serious ruler, has equipped them with weapons and heavy equipment including tanks. destination here on the front line in the lab series, last remaining rebel stronghold. the militia shall close links with russia for russian state tv. the christian fight is let themselves be filmed in a convoy on every car, the zed symbol of rushes, invasion of ukraine. that would be like the head of the u. k. bay syrian observatory for human rights says that while much is propaganda, his source is confirmed. the basic facts behind it to transport planes with fighters have already departed syria. woman besides a political move, they were already requested by russia if will, some of them could already be in moscow or ukraine malady. they have urban combat experience and have taken part in military operations. and i'm an under russians

supervision in syria, a daughter, rosie alaska. if you sophia, according to the observatory, 40000 fighters are ready to join putin's war and have registered to fight. 22000 have been accepted by russia so far, but whether they are really a certain of victory as they appear in the cremeans propaganda videos is questionable. oh, be home club wood, was it all in syria? they wanted to save their home in them, but when they're fighting on foreign soil, he will they show the same motivation will do enough or will they just be cannon fodder in the end? well, i have to hold little a mommy. many a drawn to recruitment centers like this one out of sheer necessity hoping to secure a ticket to europe even if they're bound for wolves own. and there's a lot of money on the line as this in raleigh. and as the wida told a japanese reporter at that hour, they say that i can get $7000.00 a month on the front line, $3000.00 for other positions. and i think that that after the

a difficult choice for syria's would be fight is poverty at home or war and even death in a foreign country. you're watching the w news life from both in for more analysis and the latest news had to our website, the w dot com. i've been fizzling. thanks for watching it. ah, you know, is increasing every year, many im gonna working on lengthy only work various holiday destinations drowning in plastic white wine at the cause of

every year of the exports.
