a situation like this and we hope nothing like this will ever happen to us. these poor people don't know where to go. god protect us. so those poor children, it breaks your heart. we are afraid to, it's very close to us to where we live. we worry to about our families and our children. family to look. we head to the city of constantia romania is largest city on the black sea professor emanuel puppy. our new teaches history and politics here at the university. he's also observing the war with concern on the very 1st day, russian troops occupied snake island,

which lies in the black sea. just across romania is maritime border. in bought on saw, it's felicia, florida. no one to send a copy importance of this island to should not be underestimated gardening pre, by the order it was occupied by russia in the 1st hours of the military conflict or for story event. if you got areas that are important, that better important oil and gas reserves have been found near snake island yet us, which are especially important for the russian federation, battiata and also for romania. if you don't front all maniachi, they could help reduce the gas dependency of the european union. her she broke out a board. ah, when you would open it company more than the the conflict is coming closer to the romanian border. not all she does offer. russia is demanding that nieto troops leave romania. she argues, thoughts you are really thought and that their military bases and the weapons station there be destroyed. ok chip, all but

a project up. but the idea that romania would leave nato is not even a hypothetical possibility horse. you got any work? our law on you fellow, you put it back to natalia and dema. they hitch hiked to odessa and managed to reach their children in khaki after just a day's journey by train didn't good many lives in their reporting on their situation, making video calls and sending videos by cell phone number. war is on their doorstep. so initially, yesterday our day goes on in the cellar on the on it was sitting here, plains above us. we hear the sirens live that everything will be okay for ukraine, but when i know it, mm hm. so the gosh, we're going to the did. yes. i am in the local militia on one. yeah. oh not here in hark. every other term were volunteers have collected

at the south church border crossing, a steady stream of refugees from ukraine keeps coming. more tense will put up for people whose travel documents don't made e regulations. huh. so was his. maria's passport problem still hasn't been solved. i thought we'd have, we have to go to the container over there. that's where we take the fingerprints. maria has no travel document that meets the e u requirements. she'll have to apply for asylum here in romania. otherwise, under the law, she would have to go back to ukraine. taking fingerprints is part of the asylum application process. officially, she's still not allowed to enter romania and it's unclear how long she'll have to wait. at $71.00, she's become frail and the weight is hard to endure. but those by in the

morning i'll stay awake, but i can't sleep before i was always alone in peace and quiet. now i have no choice but to sit and wait. what else can i do if there is no other way? i'm here anyhow. what else can i do? nobody at the border crossing has explained much to maria. she doesn't realize the situation she finds herself in class. what mean you said a more you feel about it, and even when my passport problem's been solved, that will have to wait here for someone to come and pick us up. ok, so jacqueline and her i am so grateful to everybody who's taking care of us at him. but he did. my mom was at us. thank you brother. my mother is in europe, but my father is in ukraine. his annual and very worried about him. louis as a shift and all the people who couldn't flee and had to stay to fight for ukraine.

the soup that elena and anica have made it normally this building hosts meetings for local clergy members. now it's a place of shelter for refugees. 12 people arrived here last night. in a way that my we see the terror in their eyes. it's always see a terror and fear of the unknown. they've left their home in and have no idea where they'll end up please acquisition or stay on the edge orange. elena and anake as vegetable soup is welcome here. for many, it's their 1st war meal in days. most of them come from the odessa region, including valerie or alexandrovna. i retire doctor didn't tell us who brought all this is so local people, volunteers,

they come and bring things here. the refugees enjoy the soup, but the fear remains. the last, i believe that putin is threatening the world with nuclear weapons, unfortunately would be to me, we don't want to die. civil. we want to live in my cell for financing. my son told me that anyway, i'll house law. we mustn't mourn the loss of our house is for the funeral that nobody knows whether the refugees will ever be able to return home. at the moment, all that counts is a quiet night away from the bombs and missiles santa marina arrived with her brother and her young son last night like that for that. and he will not this, my son has no idea what's happening in our country. but he thinks we're on holiday

that we want them to feel at home here, that they can feel warmth, and their souls thought the quantity and the warmth of these rooms. kudos that they can rest he and live in dignity here. supposed her for minister father gabriel can only come to rest once every one's been tended to many more refugees are going to need his help. when of most of the people who have arrived here so far is not new, where they were heading next to the not. now the poorer people are starting to come in, people who have nowhere else to go. now the more difficult part is coming because they won't just stay one or 2 night. they'll have to stay here much longer. god and be our strength. be the shield and defender of the humble devout people of the

ukrainian nation. diane. oh, oh. back in turkey is natalia and ema trying to hold out in a city under siege. food and other necessities are in desperately short supply. i'm still on the roller basement not far from our house. you know, you could call it an air raid shelter. it's covered with earth, a relic from soviet times. it's terrifying their bombing civilian facilities. today they hit the city centers a children's hospital. it's barbaric shell grocery stores to you. there are 2 supermarkets here on our street. last night they were targeted, embalmed, and cut off from electricity. water and heating bombing just keeps going. other

grocery stores to. they're doing it on purpose, which i transportation system has collapsed. there are no taxis, me. my public transport is no longer working. anyone who wants to travel has to wait in line for a long time. the same goes for food, water and medicines collapsed. some we know went to line up at 6 am, was already number 120 on line. the shops are only open for 2 hours a day. people are desperate. there will be a humanitarian catastrophe. scheme you. this is what russian pace looks like. now we're in the basement. familiar with the fight agenda. flying over us and dropping bombs all day. every day. with kaiser i done whatever explosions he has, you know who really refuses id love was a communion you and what will become of us 6 days of war. she's always still hiding

ah ah. doesn't say that we in is line for lead. russia claims the 1st stage of its war in ukraine is over and has been a success. it says it will now shift its focus to the eastern don bass region. we look at whether this signals a strategic shift from moscow in the face of 5th, ukrainian resistance. also coming up i think european union strikes a deal to reduce its dependence on russian gas, but increased imports from the us won't break the used.
