old war rescue workers are on the scene. let's bring in toby frick her. he's a units of spokesman, who joins us from shore and west in ukraine. mr. for you'll unicef team was in chrome at all today when you talk happened. could you tell us more about that? yeah, that's right. thanks for giving me a new stuff on today. so we had a team in climate. so scott, at the time, and i just been on the phone to them, actually, they were actually offloading some supplies for the hospitals that they submitted medical equipment, some hygiene items, and they were having those over to the local administration. when the sound of the bangs happened, and clearly everyone realized something serious was happening at that time. like the new situation ran out to respond. and that was the situation. so that happened just just a little bit earlier. so it won't, do you know about that transition?

how busy is it? usually a common source translation is a very busy session. in fact, it has been for a long time. i've been there a number of times when i've been working in easton ukraine, and it gets very busy. i'm particularly now as people were fleeing that one area. as we know, there was the governor had put out a request to people to leave women and children, to head for safety. and, and women and children have been arriving all over the country even here in this field where i am now. there's a, it's a massive area for it's on the displaced people. there's many, many children who come here for the relative safety that it provides. so how would you now describe the general situation in, across the top and the of the area around it? a situation from what i think that at least the children have been killed and that's like it's been many, many mall. so it's really horrific. and you know, you said we've been trying to, we are providing supplies. like i said, medical equipment to hospitals. i was actually in south georgia,

which is in the southeast of ukraine just a few days back. and we have provided medical equipment, surgical license to hospital there. we went to the intensive care unit where a number of children being cared for children who had tried to get out there where those very heavy fighting. but i'm thought she had been hit by bullets 4 year old flat twice in the afternoon. do you and all the un agencies or receive cooperation from a russian forces? well, yeah, you said you and, and, and other agencies and partners were working, trying to get access to the most vulnerable children, wherever they are. and that can be marble. it can be across the, across the country where the head fighting is the heaviest and clearly access to my whole access to other areas as an extremely difficult. but we have been able to move supplies around like us to not reach we, we've had supplies into changing it as well. very recently deleted. so we are getting around that. but clearly some of the most vulnerable children are still

stuck. they need safe passage out. terrific. of her unit surf spokesman in short and western ukraine. thank you very much. and ukrainian authorities of racing for even more gruesome discoveries in the wake of the russian troop withdrawal from the north. there was mounting evidence that civilians there were killed, raped and tortured with hundreds of victims in the town of boucher alone. but he cranium, president. law them is a landscape, says the situation and go to the uncle that 70 kilometers north west of keith is even more horrific. all correspondent, alexander phenomena was just there and file this report. they have began clearing the rubble, 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 emergency workers seem shock. this sham of why sure is why live it by now we've 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 straightaway, i don't understand why really bad the bullet here give issue. when russian planes dropped their bombs on the town in early march, these apartment buildings were demolished. local authorities feared that up to $200.00 civilians were killed. their bodies still buried under the rubble. with marie holes in one of the blocks we meet alexander, he is back to sell with some items from his ruined apartment. somewhere with you, when the russian bombardment started, he managed to flee together with his family. oh, horrible, it's better than it. but like, i'm still rain, same clothes i had on. when i left at least i want to take some things with me super gross. will this used to be his children's room his life.

i don't really know what to say. don't have words left. their bastards, gra putin, in his whole government. you've see, can you prove you to florida? oh, 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 hometown, including hunger and constant fear. for dawn dawn, last of 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 tomorrow night there from a boy. many he told us, similar story is lena says she is still shaking when she thinks about the weeks under russian occupation. but she will not include them. we have to thank her soldiers, they're so brave. if they are so brave that they freed up already,

i can look what they did to my tan 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. when are joined by dw correspondent, alexandra for norman, who is in the cave at the moment i somebody present to lance. he said that atrocities, atrocities committed in the now free town of bird younger or even greater than in butcher. you visited both places. so what's your impression? well i think that in those towns, of course, in boucher and broad younger russian soldiers sent accuse of terrible war crimes in boucher witnesses, spoke of for summary executions of civilians killed at will. and so when we visited the town of butcher,

we saw the bodies of sick civilians who were according to your creed and authorities shot dead 1st and then set on fire. in broad yonkers situation seems to be a bit different or still we are talking here as well, about a ledge to war crimes. are there more huge parts of this? of this town were destroyed by russian as strikes 10 high rise houses were, as we saw, and the report completely demolished and of course, killing civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure is considered a war crime as well. no. so look at the political situation. the u commission president was left on the line and the block stop diplomat shows a pro both arrived and keith to day to meet president zalinski. this just a symbolic gesture is this important? well, i think it is important and of course, as symbolic gesture at the same time and according to european commission, president was all

a funder lion. this visit is meant to underlying europe unwavering support for ukraine. she will be meeting with the queen and president, they will talk about additional financial, humanitarian, helpful ukraine. they probably also talk about sanctions. however, we have to say that we have seen prominent visitor as he and keith in the past weeks. and some people say that so fund alliance visits may come a bit late. and 2 of the people that i've been speaking with, he and key have told me that they are frustrated and a bit disappointed with their, the european response to the war so far that they would wish to, to have more support from the european union. now in the meantime, the war of course continues in other parts of the country. where's the fighting? concentrated right now. well, we know that the russian army has shifted its focus to the east and the south of

ukraine. and that ukrainian, or officials say that they do expect a major offensive, they're soon they do expected the russian army to try to take her full control of that are nets, can low hands co region and to capture the city of mar, you pull that has been under siege for so many weeks now, and there is also, there are reports about fighting going on in the call. i have for instance. so the authorities here and here are expected, expecting an ad major, a russian offensive in the east and selves of the countries on what has been suggested that this war could drag on 4 months or even years how the ukrainians, ordinary ukrainians see their prospects well, i have to be honest, here i spoke with many of them and almost all of them told me they don't believe that the war would be over soon. so they are preparing it's to continue. at the

same time, there are exhausted, they are tired and they are losing their faith and believe in the international community. because they are saying they would like to see more support. there are more weapons of course, to be able to defend their country. and also as they say to fight for you are p values are correspondent i some are phenomena, they're reporting from ca. thank you. alex summer, with russian forces now retreating from northern ukraine and regrouping in the east . more details are emerging about how people survive their time under russian bombardments. now that fighting in some cities at least has stopped. many of those emerging from bunkers have found their homes destroyed the meantime, they've adapted to life underground. abandoned weapons. devastated buildings. the russian soldiers might have withdrawn from chinese have

but they have left an indelible mark on the town and on the minds of the people, as homes were attacked and destroyed, the people here took shelter together in places like this, sharing the relative safety of on the ground spaces, but now that the bombing had stopped, some of finding it hard to leave the place is that saved their lives. some have nowhere else to go. others feel unsafe, going back like eula and her 8 year old daughter. my band saws, the lesser less of now there are approximately 60 people here, mostly people who lost their homes and people whose houses are not livable. at some point, they were up to 600 people. they were sleeping all over the place at that time. this boston, the book hordes in the besieged town of mario paul bunker living has become a way of life. 12 year old masha and her sister valeria have done to come out into

the courtyard. they spend most of that time in the shelter. i. before i was afraid of everything of the slightest noise, but little by little you get used to it. a few weeks ago they tried to leave by car in the middle of a battle, but had to turn back after a few meters. another shelter had been fatally hit when we are on our way, the children and grandparents in the back. i was in the front of them with them. when we turned in front of the theater, that was something exploded in front of us and the windshield was blown out. for us . now they have been living under ground for several weeks with little light and 12 other people. there are a few home comforts, but masha long's to her old life. first minister them, i just want to go home and go back to school, do my activities to live like i used to write,
