rockets hit from a task station on friday, edward speaking to the finished parliament president vladimir lensky, condemned russia for striking, cleared civilian targets. they hit yup, with a little foolish, i will start with what happens this morning when you write russian forces hit the train station in our city of chrome at oscar, an ordinary train station, with ordinary people cannibalization. there were no military personnel there, and there were people who are waiting for a train to get to a safe territory where russian forces hit them with military missiles. would that only academy or lose the criminal has denied they employed this type of projectile . but ukrainian military officials said they being used throughout the war on a visit to london to meet british prime minister boris johnson. german chancellor,

ola sholtes, never called the attack. atrocious. pleasure after welcome you, the buddha reveals will be images we have seen from bushels here from maria pole. and from 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 gazelle, didn't garza, as the sun calls on my creek. around 4000 people were thought to be at the station . they came with their pets and personal possessions, hoping to escape the worst hazards of war. and fiercer, growing in the ukrainian port city of odessa, that it could become russia's next target. the city has imposed a weakened curfew after the missile attack in chromatic. odessa is on the black sea, which is strategically important to both sides in this war. over the last few days,

when people in the city usually celebrate the liberation from the nazi forces. so it's a very bitter irony that at a time where they should be celebrating, they have to worry about a possible new occupation. i. yeah. how well prepared is the ukrainian military to protect this city odessa? i think it's very well prepared. so from what we hear, the road blocks are in place and a tank or barriers are in place. the air defense systems are operational and also the city is prepared for a possible blending attempt from the sea side as well. so people are prepared, they are willing to defend their city, and they have a very strong belief and the power of their military. oh, european commission president was the laugh on the line. has just been to keith, offering ukraine

a fast track in to the european union. what does this mean for ukraine? it means a lot. a visit was highly appreciated, especially also the fact that she personally came to kia. also, of course her announcements to speed up the you application process a was very well received by the ukrainians, even though no concrete promises were mates. and of course the, the main issue, or one of the main issues for the ukrainian sites remain unsolved. and this is a europe's continuous import off of oil and gas from russia. mirage. anthony schultz, they're reporting for us from ukraine. thank you so much. thank you. and here are some of the headlines on the war in ukraine. the german government says 40
