through almost 4 weeks of war and the most unspeakable conditions. anna, a neurologist worked and lived in the mary hugh paul city hospital. now in the relative safety of love, if she tells me of her ordeal, it's just natasha. during the heaviest, bombardments we had around 50 patients an hour arriving a day, the hospital was so overcrowded and the windows doors and roof wall destroyed stead . not long after it got even worse, the russians cut the water supply as but alice knew we would gather snow. rain water, use the water from inside the boilers and disinfect it so many patients were dying . she tells me they were forced to put the corpses outside in bags, asked her to her will. the worst thing was when the relatives would come to look for their loved ones on him, they had to open all the bags, the bitter cold. they're saving grace as it prevented the worst of the stench,

their shoe, by chill out what i saw. i think that even the most perverted minds wouldn't be able to imagine. they had some knowledge. no bit of the night of the 20th of march, i named this night the genocide lasted me up as wally. this was the night when the bombings just wouldn't stop political, an issue hollow. every time we heard a bomb coming in mitchells i was lying and thinking. i would cover my head like that and think this one will be the one that gets us lost. just a moment comes directly and it's hard to comprehend. a moment when you want it all to be over in a good way that she survives a butcher looking or in a bad way. don't you die to rosa and you don't care how you die. just as long as it's all over among us to both connect to motion and soon it would be she and a few of her colleagues took their chance to escape. were you hollow?

we were driving and then in the distance we saw our flag, a blue and yellow flag and ukrainian troops. the black, goodly proper tumble. one of them gave me a hug. and it's weird, but i asked him, can i be a ukrainian here? is it safe? thought and he said yes you're at home has budged. no for a doctor. dormer said alive, but dead inside. she tells me as she faces a life haunted by what she's witnessed. ah mo dover is one of the poorest countries in europe. here 2 people show great willingness to help and taken refugees from neighboring ukraine. its humble homes like these in this village in all hay, whose doors have opened to ukrainians, fleeing the war in their country. this is maryanne,

his house. 10 people live here now, sharing the little her family has the latter infant. i've earned a small salary. electricity is more expensive. groceries are more expensive. we can't afford everything we need. despite that, she's taken in 2 families from ukraine, including her sister in law, oksana, husky. me sca fled her home in odessa in february. she's here with her daughters latter, who wanted to show us that she can do the splits those latter. oh, probably. well, i miss our home, my husband was there, livermore, and i built our house with our hands was broken. the only thing we have left is our home. i sort of thought no clue. those receipts from lab people, it was in a good sco,

was moved by the plant of ukrainian refugees and decided she had to help. she's using her hand, you making factory to store the donations she's collecting for women and children. it's not much, but you know, lethal and we are collecting the help that we need. i am a mom that i have 2 boys and i cannot imagine what feels that mom does not live in their houses at this christian camp more help for ukrainians. here they can also get medical attention from volunteer nurses. we met an yes of it's guy here. she's longing to go back home. one dreamed that i have just come back to craig. i know is it i want to be stay in ukraine and to we have the plan and just to rebuild our gone, 3 of the full $100000.00 refugees that have passed through moldova since the war began in february. about 100000 are still in the country,

moldova authority said they need help looking after them. the 1st responders, for the support was definitely the government of republic of milan. at the same time, i saw a big apart from the population, civilian population, without with the international support, we cannot face entire that there. if we're geez, to support them. that support is now slowly coming in. and it will go a long way in helping the ukrainian refugees and the modem. evans, who helped them ah, 8 convoys regularly travel from germany via poland to the ukrainian border organized by volunteers. not only do they bring a supplies to the region on the way back, they take refugees to safety via transport or follow. maybe it's in port dr. until big so. okay. initial answer i

was spend of them looked vague. lindsay merc least feeling afflicted to mit niemen . vilma peters is at the wheel. she's from munich and normally works as a tool manager for musicians and bands. but since the war broke out, she's made it her mission to provide humanitarian aid venue them together. when i see all the children definitely hits me like it, but i'm not like, oh this poor kid needs my sympathy or i'm thinking, let's get this kid out of here. get off. the drivers are all volunteers from across germany. some knew each other before, while others joined up to form the convoy. they can't just sit back and watch what's happening in ukraine. as isn't, is ours. i'm not afraid to like, given, think of is what the space certainly have a degree of respect from situation. but my motivation to help is far greater than any fear something might happen with program cuba and actually prevail. we're right

next to us. we'd have to make a quick getaway than most, most never gone for their 1st stop there. visiting canoe bowski, the berlin is renting a room in a hotel in southern poland. from here, he crosses the ukrainian border with private aid transports. once a day, his usual cargo consists of medicine, medical supplies, and devices. he urgently needs all the donations from vilma peters, his convoy her father, thus complex law lou, this will go to a children's hospital and believe this treating many children from the conflict areas and they absolutely need the supplies are good bowski and his crew immediately set off for ukraine to help us convoy from germany is continuing onwards to a refugee camp for new arrivals in spanish. they all have to register to journey

onward. the same goes for dr. is coming here to pick up refugees. they must provide their personal data to help prevent human trafficking. these refugees, like most are women and children. they're from mia hockey and eastern ukraine. one of the hardest hit regions after over 2 days of traveling by bus and train, they want to it's germany, both. they're at their wits end, or if not, slowly and 3rd box. oh, oh is of in our with all was a booms in the city center. how her, our house is. okay. but it's so scary. these refugees have a 10 hour drive ahead of them. but they won't be stopped at the border. they can stay in germany for 3 years and to work. and their children can go to school. they're over throwing putin is the

goal of a group of russian intellectuals in france. their weapon is information. they publish the events of the ukraine, russia war, and have a growing readership also in russia. the ukrainian national anthem at the plaster ladder pu bleak in the center of paris . gallia ackerman is showing her solidarity. she was born in russia but as live in exile and france for more than 30 years. she was popular among ukrainians because they know she has been warning about putin for a very long time since long before the war. exec or this is exactly the new attempt to stifle not only to liquidate ukrainians, but also to extinguish the ukrainian culture. n ackerman began her political activism from her paris exile. last year, she found a desk whose see an online publication by well known russian exiles and russia,

experts. their articles describe how potent has grown increasingly authoritarian over the years how he has extended his influence and how his toyed with his foreign counterparts. pung, all this, and there are some yell for years, both in france and germany. there has been a strong pro russian sentiment yearbook and jo you there have been many real agents of influence and many people who have simply acted in good faith. the one for who have believed wanted to believe that russia would be a good partner. so hey, on board, back to now adulthood ciboney, but all their well meaning words have made a slow to recognise the extreme danger represented by the russian regime from delphi gurgle puzzled mortgage and with his desk. cuz he has attracted a large audience up to 150000 readers, click on the analyses and opinion pieces, some of them in russia. the fact that the ukraine invasion is turning out differently than potent imagined gives ackerman hope. if a cracky lucas, glen mud,

i think he might even be overthrown because he has been a great military failure unconditioned military. gallia ackerman fled the communist dictatorship of the soviet union for paris. she had hoped for a different future for russia, but potent has returned her former homeland to a dictatorship. she says, while ukraine has experienced a different development but decor, kenyon, i am ukrainian by adoption. i have always felt morally and intellectually more at home there than a masha and especially impudence, russia ackerman and dusk. lucille determined to work even her and to be a voice of the russian opposition and of ukrainians in this war. ah

and to the conflict. so with sebastian fresh allegation with russian forces lead ukrainian pavilions outside here have rapidly found no way to do with the best rush. i really care what the well, the invasion, i guess if we go to perform a deputy because i'm very few other conflicts own next on d. w with oh, sure, a

fresh allegations of russian forces murder, ukrainian civilians outside k f, have rapidly found their way to the un general assembly. 93 countries voted to suspend russia from the un human rice council. a humiliating move of moscow immediately condemned as illegitimate and politically motivated. but does russia really care what the world thinks about the invasion? i guess this week for moscow is perform a deputy foreign minister and very few other off. as russia finally acknowledges

significant military losses.
