hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. we'll have more on the war in ukraine in just a moment. but 1st, some breaking news. coming in, a ukraine's state rail company says to russian, rockets have hit a rail station in a crumb a torque in eastern ukraine. the nation, the station is used by civilians trying to evacuate to save her parts of the country. more than 30 people have been reported, killed in over a 100 wounded will bring you more on that to store story as details become available. well, in northern ukraine, authorities are bracing for more gruesome discoveries in the wake of the russian troop withdrawal. there, there is mounting evidence that civilians were killed, raped, and tortured authorities believe hundreds of died in one town alone. mass graves

were recently uncovered in the town of boucher ra, but ukrainian president blossom usa lensky says a situation in borrowed a young co, 70 kilometers northwest of kia is much more horrific or corresponded. alexandra phenomena was just there and piled this report. they have began clearing the rabble, but any hope of finding survivors here is long gone. for a dan car lay on the main root of the russian offensive on key of the scale of the destruction is so massive that even the emergency workers seem shock. this sham of budget is why live it by now we seen with our eyes what the russians did to a peaceful tan. there are no military bases here, means they shot people dead. bombed high rise blocks. so 32, i don't understand why we're behind the bullet here in the v shoe. when russian planes dropped their bombs on the town in early march,

these apartment buildings were demolished. local authorities fear that up to $200.00 civilians were killed. their bodies still buried under the rubble blueberry hole. in one of the blocks we meet alexander, he is back to sell with some items from his ruined apartment. with you, when the russian bombardment started, he managed to flee together with his family a horrible it's bitter damage. but like i'm still writing the same clothes i had on . when i left, at least i want to take some things with me. his growth will one. this used to be his children's room, his life. i don't really know what to say, so you don't have words left there. bastards, reputed him. his whole government. you see, can you prove you to florida what a few blocks away a distribution center for humanitarian aid. among the residents lining up nina and her family. they lived through a lot during the russian occupation of their home town,

including hunger and constant fear. perfect dawn of y'all that they were pointing that guns at my daughter and the kids. i went down on my knees and screamed begging them not to rape. my daughter, you know what can happen, seal was neither from a boy. many he had told us, similar story is lena says she is still shaking when she thinks about the weeks under russian occupation. but she bought him clothes and we have to thank our soldiers. they're so brave. they are so brave that they freed up already. okay. look what they did to my town already unco was once beautiful and green residence told us, now it lies in ruins. the town is free, but it has paid a high price for its freedom. he w corresponding to con, lays in care of and joins us now. nick,

ukrainian president vladimir zalinski said that the horrors inflicted on that town borrowed younger were even worse than what we saw in boucher tell us more about what's been found there. i think most people here in ukraine can't basically take their eyes off those images of those destroyed tab luxembourg junker . everyone's here, but he guessing how many people are still trapped under those ruins or how many people manage to get out before those are homing. those shillings happened, and i think the real difficulty now is trying to work out the numbers, trying to get some kind of handle on the scale of this. and for now, you as you concern that report, and it's all pretty celtic, there are locals turning up, trying to salvage what's left of their property and other government organizations trying to d mind to make sure that if people go back, they're not going to face the risk of traps of minds, but it certainly seems like the kind of images we saw in boucher on no exception. that this was a more widespread thing in the territories around ki,

if that were controlled by russian army forces for the best part of a month. and we're getting some very, very, very distressing reports. not only of that, oh shilling is the indiscriminate selling of residential areas bombing of the kind . we've seen mariposa of arbitrary killings on the streets of the guy resort future loss of sexual violence. and the war is continuing, of course, in other parts of the country, where is the fighting, concentrated now neck. so right now it seems like mary poll is still the number one target because after will marapoo on the see of as of is basically be anything between russia and its self proclaimed republics in the hans going against and crimea and it's crimea. so that's the irony, basically a thing in the way of russia, basically having an easier time of controlling that se of ukraine. so is a lot of a fighting going on there. some you painful still there now, more than

a month after that stage began and then further to the north or near city called zoom, which is based southeast of had give you cranes, 2nd city at so base have sense now that russia is putting all its forces into the south, south east, in hope of encircling a ukraine's forces in don bass. now that solar be so easy because don bass, as you remember, is the place where war has been, are basically in full full swing since 2014. since rush supported those separatist movement stair said the ukranian army is very well defended. there has trenches has other con defensive set up. so this is not going to be easy. this is going to be very hard, a very static, we've really had ukrainian government sources voting. this could be a battle on the scale and of the kind we sold at last, i guess in europe in world war 2 tanks, trench warfare and very, very high losses on both sides. nick, the new commission president and the blocks top diplomat, are planning to meet with ukraine's present in t uh today. what quick specter were overseas for the ukranian

side. this is about the optics is about europe showing that it cares about ukraine, that europe also believes in ukraine's ability to stand up for itself and to not basically a fall apart under this russian pressure. i think generally it's all about the weapons right now. it's all about the money and yes, but standards of the you and individual european countries, they are doing a lot more than they have done in previous years. but compared to the billions and billions of billions of euros that are being transferred to russia every day for energy, the sums are all pretty small and the crane is going to put more pressure on their guess. show them more of what's happening here in hope of seeing a significant increase to that support and fast because the big thing you hear here, time and time again from ukrainian government officials, you might, you know, make some plans to help us. but given how bureaucratic, how slow you are, that could reach us too late at so if whatever you are planning do it earlier, do it now because we need the help today and not tomorrow. nick,

thank you so much. our correspondent conley, they're in, keith. european union commission president ursula on a lion is to meet president zalinski in t f. in a show of solidarity from the block. the blocks top diplomat as joseph burrell, also attend the meeting under lions new sanctions on russia, including a battle importing coal vodka and timber were backed by the u member states. this week. the new coal band is estimated to be worth $4000000000.00 euros a year. but that is just a fraction of what is spent on russian oil and gas, and the ban isn't due to be implemented until august. our brussels correspond christine manuel is covering this story. christine, you, christian, president, toner, light and foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, are on their way to meet presidents lensky innkeeper. tell us about the significance of this trip. terry, it's, it's a gesture off solidarity i. it is the repeated affirmation to the ukrainians,

that the european union stands with ukraine that will do whatever i can to support ukraine and defending itself against russia. but we've got to be honest about the fact that says she is not necessarily going with everything that is needed in ukraine. for example, the ukraine's would like more support i in terms of weaponry to fight a russia. as we know, for example, that president vladimir zalinski would like to see the european take a stronger stance against am at moscow. yes, he will be able to say that there are now increased. i imply is, excuse me, sanctions on moscow. she will be able to say we have now targeted or rushes energy sector, something that the european union has been very slow to do. and that she is not it . but it is really significant in the sense that it is the gesture of solidarity and it does follow, for example, at the european parliament, our president roberto gonzalez visit last year as well as the prime ministers of poland of czechoslovakia. as well as a selena are also in march belle,

the bra president's landscape. he would have liked to see tougher sanctions on russia, including a complete burn on energy in ports. how far are you members states from winning themselves off russian oil in the us? it seems that some a little bit far away if you consider the messaging coming through from member states like germany, like isler vakio, those who are most dependent on on russian gas for example. these are really the member states and hungry. i can add to that list as well, or who have been blocking the european union from taking such a decision. the baltic states, for example, have become the 1st aid in europe to ban. i guess imports are from russia, but it appears economic interests are at play here. and the likes of germany would also be making the argument that banning or russian gas would hurt their economies more than it would russia. and that was not the design of any targeted measures

against russia. so it does appear that there is more pressure on the european unit, especially as more images like those coming out of boucher come on to the scene. we now see that there have now gone for the energy sector, but it appears it will be at least some time before we see a complete ban on russian gas, for example, which is of course, the main sticking point here. christmas list is also called on the ear to ground ukraine. membership in the block. how likely is it that will happen or terry, i'd been granted. accession into european union is a process that takes years and at the beginning of the invasion are. in fact, days after russia invaded ukraine, ukraine formerly applied for membership of the european union. and you had countries like poland pressuring the block to fast track ukraine's application process. given the developments ad that had taken place there, there is some indication, as we've been reporting yardi w exclusively this week,

that that is going to be happening that ukraine's application is being processed as we speak. that the commission is forming an opinion or writing an opinion on that. press on that application that it will then give to you leaders to consider in june as a fast track that might be, it would still take years before the process is concluded. and before ukraine is given, that membership, but it does appear to be on the gender. and so work is and way for the process as we speak. terry received, thank you very much, shar correspond, christine manuel in brussels. catch up on some all the stories making news round world. today a landslide has killed at least 10 people in northwest columbia after torrential rains, mud and boulders buried a mining camp in the mountains. several people are still missing. a nearby town was a back you 2 people had been killed after a gunman opened fire in the israeli city of tel aviv several others were wounded in
