president vladimir lensky, condemned russia. if a striking clear civilian targets they hit yeah, but little foolish. i will start with what happened this morning when you write russian forces hit the train station in our city of cremmit, ask an ordinary train station with ordinary people channels. in general, there were no military personnel there, and there were people who are waiting for a train to get to a safe territory when bush and forces hit them with military may files without a getaway or lose. the criminal has denied they employed this type of projectile, but ukrainian military officials said they being used throughout the wall on a visit to london to meet british prime minister barak johnson. german chancellor, olaf sholtes never called the attack. atrocious pleasure. afterward,

the bid at the vales would be images we have seen from bushels here from marielle, paul. and for many of the places the dramatic attack we have been told about to day too. it shocks us, and we must say here in clear terms. it is a cruel, cruel wall. loudon von gazette that goes on. as the sun calls on my creek, around $4000.00 people were thought to be at the station. they came with thy pets and personal possessions, hoping to escape the worst hazards of wall. earlier i spoke to d. w, a correspondent nick connelly in chief. he told us just how shocking the attack was . it's pretty extraordinary that this is even possible a time where it is well known by every one that lot sicilians all get ahead of don bass. now, regional governments in that part of the country are now calling on all civilians who can't get out before it's too late before it becomes too dangerous to leave. in recent weeks, though, the situation there in dumbass,

which has been the scene of fighting since 2014, had been comparatively quiet, at least in that part of don bass, around crematory, had been less dangerous. now the pots, the country, but people now increasingly panic, increasingly convinced that this could be situation where the russian army will try to in circle ukrainian forces from the north and the south. and the east was from those separatist l churches there. so lots people trying to get out in a hurry and basically for most people, the train, the rail road is the only way out. and now increasingly we've seen attacks on the actual railroad tracks themselves. so increasingly fewer options to get out and more people try and get on fewer trains and now seemingly not even safe while they're waiting on the trains. how is a ursula funded lines visit received in keith? does ukraine think the e was doing enough? i think it's always gonna be difficult to meet expectations here, but there is a sense that you're is waking up to the scale of this. i think this was,

it was taken a very well of was received very well, but also ukrainians who had been frustrated with what they saw as fairly meaningless can message of solidarity and sympathy from the west that weren't backed up with real action and real promises of action, i think the words we heard from was on the line basically promising ukraine at turbocharged kind of fast process into you. that was something that was very well received and was received with yeah, the some positivity unexpected positive t given basically the nato is for now at least seemingly close to ukraine. i think you membership is the one kind of process towards closer ties with west that people think is tangible is realistic that maybe you crank it, end up with the status like finland for inside the outside nato. and he said that filling now off to decades, neutrality is trying to get into nature itself. so i think people are acutely aware that you doesn't bring security guarantees in the way that nature would. and all these attempts now to kind of organize bilateral security guarantees from the u. s . or germany or the countries all quite the same deal as nature would bring. d,

w 's and nick connelly in keys here now or some other stories making headlines in the ukraine crisis. the german government says 40 russian diplomats have left the country. berlin ordered their expulsion saying they were carrying out espionage and more danger to public security. slovakia has donated it's air defense system to ukraine. the soviet era, s 300 system is already in use by ukrainian forces requiring no extra training. it's ukraine's only defense against ballistic missiles. us says it's re equipping slovakia with a modern patriot missile defense system. the war and ukraine pushed world food prices up by newly 13 percent last month. the united nations is warning that costs are likely to rise further. the when food agency says the increase puts much of the world's population at risk of malnutrition. fears are growing

in the ukrainian port city of odessa that it could become russia's next target. the city has imposed a weekend curfew after the missile attack and come and tossed. odessa is on the black sea, which is strategically important to both sides in this war. over the last few days, russia has launched 2 attacks near the city even before these latest attacks, many ukrainians, mostly women and children, have been leaving odessa. and for some, it's been a heart breaking decision. looked as though it, though it is hard, very hard. moth bridge, we sent my daughter in law with the kids and we'll stay here. i don't know how it's going to be. i hope we'll meet again with the, with the, with the 3 this city looks calm,

but we need to generalize them according to officials. in warsaw, the capital alone has taken in 300000 refugees given to me. if we are faced with further waves of refugees, every one in europe must share the responsibility for his honors. around 2400000 ukrainians have fled to poland. most of them are staying many ukrainians, have relatives in poland. ships at the chance of the g for someone 800000 people can be easily integrated into polish society. this won't cause tension or potential aversion sheet, but it depends on the number is needed. ok. there's medical care here at the exhibitions center shower facilities. a bit of respite after a dangerous escape and it won't be ending here as more people continue to arrive. here are some other stories now making headlines around the world at this hour. in pakistan, there were angry exchanges between lawmakers over plans to oust prime minister iran
