that's creating even further bombardment from the russian side. i've spoken very hard to get news out of mary paul, but i have spoken to a couple of people who escaped and they told me of their harrowing stories of living under that sage. so hard to get out of that city. one doctor i spoke to you told me that those same so terrific scenes we've seen in boucher once we say what's happening and married paul, that'll be boucher times 10 votes at times 100 times 1000. so it's very hard to imagine that president. so as he, unfortunately, that his estimates are very far off, responded rebecca, readers, they're reporting from la beef. rebecca has also visited the zip and to ria and then the poor regions to talk to the people who fled those areas as russian forces regroup. now for a more focused attack on the shelf east of ukraine, people in those areas that i just mentioned, they've been told it to evacuate. well,

people are also waiting for news of the disappeared. they leave notes for any one who can help them find their loved ones. see as searching for wives searching for ah, father and mother to the north. the city of ni pro where even more people come to escape the fighting. nay pro is the main hub for people evacuating the south and south east areas in the dawn bass and zap erasure regions. thousands of people have come through here already and thousands more. are expected in the coming days as the southeast region prepared for an intensified russian attack. they're also coming here shocked by what happened on the weekend. in another train station, just a few hours up the tracks. the rocket attack that killed 50 people, including children and crammed tours as they were trying to live in the pro the refugees. mostly women and children have found relative safety. but

the mayor is asking them to move on further west. there's no guarantee the war won't come here to a war. the men must stay behind and fight if they can or not. her ill, bruce me. my husband told me to leave him in the cellar and to go on my own. i said, no, i will not leave you now. how could i leave you here to die? one is the hotels my husband didn't want to leave on. he sent us away. he said, he said if the russians come, he would tear them apart. it looked a little bit of light families being torn apart too, as the battle for control of the east. cuz ever vieza austria's champs are called ne hummer mit today with russian president vladimir putin in moscow. now he's the 1st european union leader to hold face to face talks with putin since the started the war. the homer says he did not get a positive impression from the talk. see says he did, however,

tell booted to end the war. me of i reached each in gao house. it was important to me to state clearly that the war must end for the people in ukraine, thus from great. and that the crimes taking place must be investigated by international organizations, the united nations funding them as well as international criminal justice system, which works slowly but steadily with it. and we have seen how successful they can be in. we have one great, there's a langham everywhere now. we want to go to our reporter and russia analyst constantine, you're going to see you konstantin, to let, let's talk about the role of the austrian chancellor here western europe. the european union is trying to isolate vladimir putin, but here we have the chancellor of austria paying him a visit at the kremlin to day. what's your read on that? well, miss in the home or is mr. perkins care or student just since he exceeded to the

presidency, 2000. so for him it's nothing surprising to deal with austin politicians. so it's clear that so traditionally austria tries to play up it's neutral status. plus it has a very close i would say to close ties with common. and i think this was an attempt by the austrian ahead of government to basically show that he plays the 2nd row in european politics. a lot of politicians, including the german speaking world, have this illusion that the somehow can sway missed this trip. although before it was the austin chuckle spoke to build european official and to present the landscape grant are different. and they had a very strange timing and the personal impression, a very strange location,

because the of the central europeans actually were talking before the visit about yet another or student attempt to pick a point to them. the final press conference was held in the austrian embassy, which actually housed in 1939. your people or even talk. it was foreign minister when you signed the infamous back that started in 1939. so the location wasn't great too. i suppose that this attempt was also dictated by or 3 is a situation economic situation. it is very much reliant on russian gas. and one of the biggest bang, probably probably the biggest bank, right by some bank has very, very close connections. an important business in russia, so probably have to show that he talks to put in about things that are relevant to the austin public. but i'm absolutely certain that this didn't work out. that was
