donations were collected for the victims of oh, i meanwhile moving video messages this time from christina at the heart of the suffering and uncertainty, she fears her country could literally be wiped off the map, like millions of other young men and women from this once. flourishing country, there appears to be no future between the bombs and the bunkers. we have some shattering testimonies, and cries, fell from ukraine from young people in her heave, her son and levine. aah! christina, was born and raised in harkins. 21 year old. had built a life fair together with her partner. the war took them in so many others by surprise. i talk and it started sooner. my phone was in lori as to why now,

after arriving in the view, she tried to focus on the positive it was the most have his one 0 this week and i have a normal food and out wash my hair. and i said, i know fantastic. and in height, if you can do this. but the happiness was short lived. christina soon began to feel guilty and blamed herself from some missouri would be good for her. it was why i said myself, he gave me i. i with an acquaintance, sent christina photos of people in harkey of trying to keep themselves supplied with the bare necessities. christina has been in constant contact with her family and friends. ah, they asked me all the height that i think in my

life in the morning, she saw that i was sad and yuri how lube is and hark is we 1st made contact with him just after the war started. he's an avid soccer fan with her munich or amsterdam hardly any stadium was too far for him and his wife victoria, during peacetime, but then they became trapped in an air raid shelter in his hometown. definitely they're not only hitting military targets here, but regular apartment buildings as well. we can't even go out to get a breath of fresh air and believe them, he and his wife stayed in this seller and central hark of together with their neighbors and their dogs and cats. a beverage with you arms and we're hoping our partners will help us to stop these idiots. these enemies go up at the water here.

harker has been under siege. many civilians were said to have been killed during the previous night. of the war, full of them was always of them will show harder for you. we stay in the bomb shelter the funeral because so many sabbath tours are at work is to let laying booby traps e and killing people in the street that they will behave. uri went out every day to try to scrape together food for his family and others, and the building. fuel has also been in short supply. and hark of them, what is the other? the city is very big and people need fuel for their cars to get to the supermarkets that are open with people wait in their cars for hours to get sun, but, but that's necessary for survival here. that was, it was like yury as a retail buyer for supermarkets. he showed us the empty shelves saying there was

hardly any bread left nor fish, milk, semolina, or barley. a pallet of fresh eggs went to minutes. 3 days earlier, an apartment complex had been hid in this city alone, the death toll climbed over 150 before the war. hark, have had a population of a 1000000 and a half. nobody knows how many remain. let us pray, leap just driven to a spring, to pick up water for the residence of our building. we they can't go out. was thrust because out of shots are being fired right now, but not here in this district. newton were you in the jury was trying to get his wife and relatives out of the city. the danger was too great for them to stay. at last he looked like he found away. today, we are at the train station, trying to evacuate. our families were standing by the train hoping everything will work out. all right. then his wife victoria set out for the polish

border. without him we were at the station on the whole, everything fine were alive. we were later informed that his wife had made it during state on an hark of to help over 500 kilometers further south and harrison. katarina is also taking shelter here today. its my latin to viola talk. i have the time right now, my boyfriends. i love him because i didn't know which message me which message gun was caterina's. boyfriend enters is from denmark. we have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years. now she's in a war zone and he's over 2000 kilometers away. it's really still help us to cannot stop thinking about what's going on in your brain. what is going on with my

girlfriend? just a few months ago, they celebrated christmas together. they began the new year with mutual plans. in march, we plan together. right now do you time? no, it's my time. the last time they saw each other was in late january when they said good bye enters had had a bad feeling as if he'd sensed hard times lay ahead. i remember this conflict as being more and more present in the news, applying maybe a mistake to let her go home at this point. he wishes he had been wrong, but anna is feeling has proven all too true. the evening before we had a she had to talk to her around that you're starting to get worried and they wanted her to leave as fast as possible. so we had decided to plane tickets or 6 march. but then the following morning, she woke me with a match, ah,

a picture of one of these clouds an explosion and said that it has begun. caterina's family has a small shop. during the 1st days of the war, they kept their neighbor supplied with groceries. but as the russian forces moved closer, even that got to be too dangerous, either 100 a, we didn't want to say, shoot us all come and take out. i'll food like and then just i, her son was the 1st major ukrainian city to be occupied by russian forces. some residents are still venturing out into the streets to protest against the war. but not katerina, she's afraid to leave her building. the family still has enough provisions, they only go out to board up the doors and windows that freeze in our own. c. 2, we have brazen in our own houses. now brazen and powerless.

right now it's ours. shell layer asleep. you can see place for mom. little my down for me and runs aside from was a fire. every moment. i'm scared that something will happen. sure. and i try not true. sure this too much to her bank and won't my wife no. no, that's otherwise. i've gotten to the end. you just trials line i wanna, i wanna say and wow, that's right. oh and that's the only place i am until they meet again. ah, well, in russia itself, the propaganda war is in full swing as tens of thousands join

a rally to mark the invasion of ukraine. the message is, the russian people are standing by their leader outside russia. only very few countries have given visible backing to ports in one is serbia belgrade traditionally has close ties with russia and many serv. see the russians as their brothers. so some are not protesting against the invasion, but demonstrating fear support for it. these serbia nationalists are staging a pro russian car rally in belgrade. there on russian. president vladimir putin side were here because of russia. barbara do not fight naziism any. naziism was not exterminated in 1945. but if you have survived and must be destroyed, they're convinced that hootin is doing just that fighting naziism and ukraine. the letter z adorns many cars here. the same as can be found on russian army vehicles.

it stands for the phrase for victory. like most serbians, the boyish era do lavish, rejects these nationalists and the war, even so he feels a strong connection to russia and has long perceived nato as a threat. he was a teenager when his native belgrade was bombed during the course of a war. thus he wants that as well. i was 14 in an 8th grade with us, but instead of figuring out which high school to go to court, we were preoccupied with trying to survive. the bombings respond as we see those most up. as a little moment. to this day, there are still ruins in central belgrade. a grim reminder of the war. redo, the vish, says the bombings destroyed more than bridges and residential buildings. they also undermined his trust in the west and its values, and he says many here feel similarly, rushes influence in serbia, meanwhile, grew stronger over the years. putin is currently on almost every front page.

many serbians view russians as their slavic brothers. russia is admired and few criticize its war against ukraine. i'm his mother there at bill, which i think this war has been inevitable for a long time, really at the west is hypocritical, especially western media that report on it had him up a little bit pathology. say saga is lanelle go on the whole night. we are the largest balkan nation. we should feel the greatest responsibility was thought it. but we have not learned from our history and that's awful for slash players. one group with a long history of fighting for civil and human rights are the women in black, but few joined their protest against the war in ukraine. the activists said the low turnout was sobering. they believe it was linked to the fact that many serbians long for a strong leader rather than

a true democracy. what is good dollars should be a bullet do serbians like russia, or putin, louisville at this to an auto. what they like are authoritarian government guessing that has nothing to do with russia per se. not long ago, german foreign minister on alina burbock visited serbian president, alexander luke. the meeting was tense as roaches known for his close ties to boot him since the war broke out, boucher chance attempted a political balancing act approving a un resolution condemning the russian invasion, yet refusing to carry western sanctions against the country. msm will trigger me, this is what are we supposed to distance ourselves from me? almost. in what sense are we connected to the conflict in ukraine? what did serbia do wrong cycle? so we were, serbia, is not talking about anyone. not bringing up any names or there was no love or hate when it comes to us, we only respect international law, and these are not an overall president boots,

which is currently campaigning to be reelected in april. and polls suggest he and his party are set to win. most serbians share his view on the ukraine war. in tosh, my dad park in central belgrade this monument commemorates the children killed during nato. attacks on the city. memories of that old war are still alive. this, that'd be serbia, russia, we're not in this war english, but the u. s. england. france, they need to recognize how it came to this. yes, i'm brought to fly. i'm against every war. i was against the cause of a war and against the one before that, flocking that event. i'm against interventions and opposed using force against independence status. so but now boy shall reduce rubbish. and his friends say the ukraine war has pushed them to reassess their long held loyalty to russia and critical opinion of nato in the west. they feel isolated and wonder where that leaves them and their country, serbia. miss mont,

neil louis that we've always been caught in the middle is valid said, and that's where we are again now. i'm not sure what difficulties we would encounter if we were to go along with sanctions against russia. that got to be a little us and we just cannot take that road right now. on the don't emo, our tires with rush are too strong, economically speaking. and there's also an element of fear film, the economic ski relative. molly's daughter. their biggest hope is that the war in ukraine will end soon and that hope is shared by many russians. tens of thousands have already left their homeland said the conflict began. and indeed amy gray russians have austin, sought refuge in paris in the upheaval that followed the russian revolution in 1917 and in soviet times. and in recent weeks, many have expressed their dismay over the war among the most outspoken as gallia. i command, she's investigated issues like electoral fraud and politically motivated violence.

now she's focusing on developments in russia itself. her goal to oust putin from power. her weapon information. the ukranian national anthem at the plaster ladder pu bleak in the center of paris. gallia ackerman is showing her solidarity. she was born in russia, but as lived in exile and france for more than 30 years. she was popular among ukrainians because they know she has been mourning about putin for a very long time since long before the war exec. this is exactly the new attempt to stifle not only to liquidate ukrainians, but also to extinguish the ukrainian culture. n ackerman began her political activism from her paris exile. last year she found a desk host, see an online publication by well known russian exiles and russia, experts. their articles describe how potent has grown increasingly authoritarian over the years how he has extended his influence. and how his toyed with his

foreign counterparts bundle this any or some yell for years, both in france and germany. and there has been a strong pro ration sentiment yearbook and jo. yes, there have been many real agents of influence and many people who have simply acted in good faith. the one for who have believed wanted to believe that russia wouldn't be a good partner survey on board, backed on their adulthood ciboney. but all their well meaning words have made a slow to recognise the extreme danger represented by the russian regime. i'm dulcie gurgle, puzzled, nourishing with his desk close. he has attracted a large audience up to 150000 readers. click on the analyses and opinion pieces, some of them in russia. the fact that the ukraine invasion is turning out differently than potent imagined gives ackerman hope. if a cracky luis, glen mud, i think he might even be overthrown because he has been

a great military failure unconditionally death. the parisian russian exiles are using the power of words to lend support. at an event in a paris theater, they read letters by imprison russian opposition liter alexson of albany, about hootin and the oligarchy. roman abramoff, which owner of the british football club, chelsea adult on board, a very expensive plane, hooton's wallet, abram, of which is flying to a nato country. what audacity and every once happy putin and abramoff which steal money from the budget and invested in the west. behind the camera is donati vista, who comes from ukraine, is rest. there are some things that are, i am delighted with golly, is commitment to her right against putin for merck. a sure it's very, very near to my heart for the war earth earth i have rush. gallia ackerman fled the communist dictatorship of the soviet union for paris. she had hoped for a different future for russia, but putin has returned her former homeland to

a dictatorship. she says, while ukraine has experienced a different development for decor, kenyon, i am ukrainian by adoption. so i have always held morally and intellectually more at home there than america. and especially in putins, russia ackerman, in desco see, are determined to work even harder into be a voice of the russian opposition and of ukrainians in this war to hungary. now where this giant t v truck is criss crossing the country, it's election time and a group called parties and wants to make sure that there is at least some plurality and diversity in the political discourse. for the 1st time in over a decade and opposition coalition could challenge authoritarian prime minister, fixed to all bound for power. but albany is omnipresent. after all, he has a strangle hold on state media. and here to prudence. war is top of the agenda.

the mobile tv studio parties on hits the road today. they're heading north to the small town of t, the weaver, roche. after setting up filmmaker and activists, martin, gloria sh, is ready to receive his 1st get. his goal is to inform as many as possible about the elections. we are doing the show, especially in the countryside, because we are mostly located in budapest, in the capital, to have more access to people who are living in immoral areas of the country in rural hungry. most people vote for the ruling she does party and most watch pro government tv channels. martin glee, actually, youtube channel is financed through private donations. he produces critical content also because he says ernest political debate is lacking in hungary media escape. just you have to imagine that today on this particular day, this was the 1st time in 4 years time than the opposition candidate of prime

minister had 5 minutes on air. but over the past weeks, both prime minister victor or band and his challenge of peter my keys, i have adjusted their campaign focus to reflect rushes invasion in ukraine. nissan marquise i is criticizing the pro russia position or been took for years, or one is the one who supported put in state, reduced reading pro russia propaganda. still old old one also approved european banning of russia today and would think those. but here are state media and private viewed us media is still supporting, put in and condemning the ukraine. we would have liked to put this criticism to our vans he does party. but despite numerous requests, we received no response from party headquarters in budapest, a national day in mid march, hundreds of thousands came from across hungry. here to putins war was in the forefront of people's minds as they waited to see or been was out of shambrika. we

don't think this war just happened. there's a background to it. everything has led up to this. what y'all's or is it the hillary duck? what act recall on f? what in the world and especially the western media have double standards. all blog lockheed, although grew the seal every day that you can understand the ukrainians. but you also have to understand the russian and some bottled i'm shells would run over them bottled em, your chin. i all. no one is really talking about the fact that it was actually america that ignited aspire. chickasha, nacken kish, also ahmed equal, and that they did it on purpose and i'll make sure shanks m yankee. then victor or van made his appearance like most independent media. we were given a seat far away from the podium, that of state was barely visible to the naked eye. but his rhetoric about hungary role in the ukraine more came across all the more sharply. fog. russia has russian interests movie. ukraine is looking after ukrainian interests. neither the u. s.

nor brussels will sink with the mind of a hungarian folk. i will not feel with the heart of a hungarian. he's my dorsey val. we must advance our interests ourselves. soberly and courageously khaki for shouting. he got on his bottle. the ukraine more has become a political football in hungary selection campaign. real political debate is lacking . instead, there's mainly mudslinging between incumbent prime minister or man and his challenger mater kitley. a bottle of all alabaster though use on the political left has lost it. senses is old gordo shot. we want to sleep. walk us into a war cat yet. lamb the left is want to send hungarian soldiers hungarian weapons to the front of the world. all my dogs caught one up. we won't allow that to happen . o clar, food on your phone to law as nam full. you come again, get me before he was lying about us wanting to bring in my glass to hungry, not his lighting above us. it wanting to set the kids to die in ukraine. it's

discussed school disgusting and, and this is i accusations, falsehoods, provocations for martin glitch. these are incentive enough to take a stand and reveal the urgent need for independent reporting. during the selection campaign, i would be able to do my work in a better way if governments relate to people, voted accept my invitation, these kind of a bubble of each day or artificially created around the governments related voters be towards not just the entire society, but especially those voters and so martin, glean and his mobile tv studio head back on the road. they plan many more broadcasts between now and election day. oh clearly dale position is still got a lot of work to do if it's going to push all been hard in april to vote for now. that was all of this additional folks on europe to come back next time around until

the end. bye bye. just ah, ah, with
