a fire for the loss. ukraine, though, has a slightly different take. on the warfare, better seniors or in europe in the black sea region, the mosque bar warship was hit by next june and to ship myself and sustained substantial damage. when a fire started, good other ships tried to provide assistance, but a storm and the powerful explosion of ammunition turned the ship overview and it started sinking after northern. the mass car came to prominence at the start of the war being told to go f itself. when it tried to capture ukraine's snake island in the black sea. oh, i

literally last month, the man behind those words was awarded a metal for his bravery more because it initially feared, killed. he and other soldiers were taken captive before being freed in a prison exchange. the must car was the main ship in russia's black sea fleet. it's lost marks, a significant reduction in russia's fire power in the area, and a huge symbolic blow. for moscow. it is russia analyst, constantine aga, explains just how significant the loss of that warship is. for russia, it is done in did i surgery as of the soviet on nothing more got could have been imagined that well, it is a blow to prestige. definitely. it is a very practical blow to the black sea lead to rob. all calling mentioned 16 cruise missiles. i spoke to navy experts today all through the day,

speaking to us earlier. now, following the withdrawal of russian troops from many regions of northern ukraine, almost every day, new evidence of war crimes comes to light. the mayor of the town of macquarie's near keith says, russian soldiers shot more than a 130 civilians. much of the town is completely destroyed. our course, when at yan phillip sholtes went to mockery of to get eye witness accounts of the russian siege. it's hard to believe that there is still human life among all the destruction basil and his wife natalia, where it's home when russian troops took over mockery in late february when morning . so just came to their house and accused basil of taking pictures. they tied him up and left him outside in his 2 shed, hulu, but it was very cold and particular at night, the worst was that i had no idea what happened to my wife drives them barbara. one day a soldier came and brought me my special medicine. this was the moment when i understood

that my wife was still alive for a little while. everywhere it's a similar picture. neighbors of a sealant, natalia tell us that in this neighbourhood alone, russian soldiers killed 53 people. a 17 year old gro was allegedly raped for weeks, their family had to hide in this small basement room, always fearing that they could be the next target. it's hard to imagine a place with more destruction and to with more human suffering than here in my carries. the town of butcher has become a worldwide symbol of russia's war crimes. but it becomes more and more apparent that there are many more butchers all across ukraine. igor worked as a teacher in my car if before the war started. now he walks through the town, distributing donated medicine often he only finds and t ruins. 90 percent of my car, if residents have left or been killed. he goes friends used to live in this house.

he doesn't know what has become ms. ellis booky, we used to have to come and peaceful life here. this family was just renovating their house. they were constructing a little summer cottage in their bag yardage. get it, but you are over there. you see the kinda garden, the dutch. what happened to all of it? she's nervously she'll nearby. igor has more success. he finds an elderly men who still lives amongst all the destruction. he has hardly left the house since the attacks began. russian soldiers shot one of his neighbors on the street. you told him, they asked, what are you digging here? he said it's a grey for my dog. then they told him it's all so you are grave now and they just shot him. 3 weeks ago, my carrier was liberated by the ukrainian army. since then, many volunteers have come to head with the clean up work about the gruesome memories of the survivors will probably stay with them forever. ukraine's trains played a central role in the country's defense against the russian invasion,

moving people out of harm's way and bringing in supplies and aid. russia has bombed some lines, but the trains keep moving thanks to the the determination avail for of the operators t w's. rebecca ritters has been talking with one of them. when russia invaded ukraine, yvonne was on duty traveling his regular route. for more than 10 years, the train conductor served passengers betweens aperture, in the southeast elevator, in the west, a 15 hour journey. but on february 24, life changed forever. as dawn broke news of the invasion broke to you comma blanca, a woman started to cry and said, have you heard anything? i said, no. she said that bombing me pro. i didn't believe it. i started to check facebook to check the news, and it turned out that there was bombing all around ukraine. we arrived late to

have stayed on the job. despite the danger, over 60 railway workers have been killed in the line of duty as trains come on to rush and fire. that hasn't happened to yvonne, but the work is taking its toll. the will of her it is very hard, psychologically. when you go back to separation in an empty carriage, and you hear sirens on the stations or the feeling psalms all with worrying dreams of it. i'm very tired. what is morally oh and there's little rest and head that isn't as the railway needs me for half a year, so i can't be called for conscription, which means they will not make me join the army. once that time is up, i'll be drafted and will go to war. until then, ivan will be fighting for his country, doing what used to be just a regular job through the stations and towns he knows by heart. crossing his

question for the team is, where do you even start? you can see this massive destruction and the force of nature right here. the economic consequences of these natural disasters, they are very visible now, but they are likely going to be troubling this region. for a long time. the destruction is visible in many parts of durban. thousands lost their houses and help hasn't reached every one. like corn, our house is on this friday. some of us don't have jobs and no money, so we don't even know where we would like to not be okay. we have lost food, grocery, everything, even our clothes and property looks like we don't know what we're going to do. so many people have the idea of being pleading for assistance that we don't want the promise of us morgan lewis dinning accord. hey, it's a very, very, very better because i had no place to sleep. i'm sleeping, i'm standing like this,

but i can sleep. so i can't do nothing. my my twitchy bed. my dad chewed are now when mad a nip us because we have no place to sleep. rescue operations by helicopters on the way as someplace us still not accessible by roads. the death toll is likely to continue rising. the 1st 2 days we are all going for the risk using rescues and just trying to make a difference in getting people out for the last 2 days. and i think the couple of days to come in it's just party recoveries. so we all, we've all got that that, that urge in us and that, that hope that was still fun for a few people to love folks, yards just mostly body recoveries. back the container depot, sachi hurry, suca and his team are still busy removing containers from the nearby highway to at least the traffic can flow a deck. things won't get back to normal any time
