w news talked to survivors in one ukrainian town that was left devastating. ah, i bring golf. it's good to have you with us tonight. russia says that it has struck a missile factory on the outskirts of keep, and it appears to be in retaliation for the sinking of russia's largest worship in the black sea yesterday with the u. s. saying tonight that it believes that vessel was struck by at least one ukrainian missile. moscow is now bowing more attacks against ukraine's capital. meanwhile, ukraine says that russian forces have used a long range bombers for the 1st time to attack the city of mario pole. and there are reports of fatalities after strikes on city in the east and south of the

country. as the war passes its 50th day air raid sirens have been sounding across the entire country. ah, 50 days into the war. and this is still the wake up call and keith, heavy explosions were heard here over night. they said to be the most powerful since russian forces pulled out of the region around the capitol hill progress. russia says it will step up its attacks alicia civilian mosher with tonight the sea based high precision long range missiles hit, a military facility on the outskirts of keith. the number and scale of missile strikes against objects. and keith will increase in response to any attacks of a terrorist nature or sabotage on russian territory. by the keyed nationalist regime, the distorted sama asking if it's also in retaliation for the sinking of this war ship them moskva. russia is acknowledged. the ship has been lost,

but not that it was due to ukrainian missiles. either way, a big blow, according to the pentagon. this is a cruiser. they only have 3 in this class, and it's basically designed for air defense. that's that, that's what the ship is designed to do, not unlike our own cruisers. so it's going to have an impact on their capabilities, certainly in the near term. but this for th, from the southern port city of mario paul, serves as a reminder of moscow's military might and brutality. with russia now focusing its attention on ukraine's east, mary, you, paul, would be key and connecting the southern and east and friends despite a strong russian presence. ukraine says the city hasn't fall, and yet the country is president, used his nightly address to praise ukrainian resilience, yackel gushing if tunable for to put it mildly. no one was sure that we would survive. she's beat everyone's sympathised. heart of dora. many advised us to leave

the country and i go for the advisers to actually surrender to tyranny. i'll evil mean if they didn't know us either online isn't and they did not know how brave ukrainians ask you. how much we value freedom. now some of our opportunity to live the way we want to work some way this war continues and ukrainians will need to show even more of that bravery if that repel the eminent russian onslaughts in the east. well, i asked the ws russia analyst konstantin, eager to whether the kremlin has stepped up, strikes on, keep in retaliation for the sinking of that worship. the must. well, officially, it isn't. because officially the ship sang because of mysterious bar which damage that's essentially so weapons supply and because of that, so no. and so, yes, because of course,

the loss of the mosque law must have really hit the the, the russian isn't leadership very off bought as it hurts from the russian spokesman. it isn't the retaliation for those mysterious explosions near the southern russian city of balance. which as the russians say, were caused by you credit attack. so there is a way of putting it and creating this kind of smoke screen. but i think that if and i think it is, as you said, retaliation from last. what is a bit of a sign of desperation and irritation which it should be, by the way, and how, how does the criminal report this to the russian people. i mean, you've got the main worship in your black c fleet that is now at the bottom of the ocean, our ordinary russians, are they going to believe the claim that the ship was lost in a fire? friends?

i think if you're talking about the russians on the continues to understand the support for coaching, which is all in the center for the last. most of it is not people believing the government, but it's people choosing to believe the government, which is a significant slide. but significant difference people who prefer to stay in the company or not to face reality. and yes, these people will say, oh yeah, there was a fire and, and things that didn't go well. the official russian news agency, top publish photos all were kind of good by far, well, ceremony to, to, to the cruiser in the, in the crimea, the main base of the russian. basically it, it was, i mean, what's truck, the actually in the photos from the ceremony that read la will read that will put that had to ribbons which said to the ship into the same. so the ship goes. that probably tells me a bit about the atmosphere in the russian navy and what goes 1st in the pecking

order for. but you know, there are some estimates that may be as many as 300 semen could have lost their lives in this sinking. and if that is, so that's $300.00 people who will not be going home to their families. at some point, the public has to see, you know, body bags coming home and then hear what the news networks in russia are, are telling them, and there has to be some cognitive dissonance. there are not well, there should be and a, someone who lives through the war in afghanistan and know that eventually that sinks in. but i think this moment is a bit far away. for now, one has to understand quite a bit of those soldiers. a contract soldiers, i mean it's a volunteer force and people say, well ok, they chose to fight that's. that's the kind of price you pay. second, you have to remember, official russian propaganda, which i said most people choose to believe it puts it in

a different context and it puts it completely differently. for example, the numbers of semen that will last a, during the thinking of the cruiser. no one, no one knows officially how many died. essentially, the russian government said, well, a lot of that will state. so that is a, there is, there's going to be a dissonant, but i think that's one. now, it's not going to happen tomorrow. and we've got rushes internet authority threatening to find google and we could pedia for spreading. what it says is false information regarding the war. you know, you're not even allowed to describe it as a war. is this the kremlin trying to have total control of the narrative? they're trying to have total control of the narrative, but with all the threats, the pay him to shut down gucci, which they threatened to shut down several times already. i think there was a struggle going on at the top with the, basically the,

the regime trying to decide different factions, the regime, trying to decide what to do next. i have to tell you, right. problem for russia is that as opposed to china of korea, it had a fairly free internet basically like even a few months ago. okay. a year, year and a half ago. it's very difficult to roll these things back as opposed to china, north korea, where they are, they're kind of internet system was from the beginning that are repressed. and frankly speaking, just a very small example, they tried to bandwalk, but they didn't do that. one simple reason you have parents groups. yeah, in schools and kids got which are all on what's up. so it's a very, very delicate thing for them to try not to disturb public opinion. that was constantine and they're reporting. well, since that russian troops withdrew from parts of northern ukraine, evidence of possible war crimes has emerged almost on a daily basis. the mayor of the town of mockery, which is near the capital keep,

has accused russian soldiers of shooting more than a 130 civilians. and he says they destroyed almost the entire town. w john philip shoulds traveled there to hear what survivors say they saw and heard. it's hard to believe that there is still human life among all the destruction bus sealants, his wife, natalia, where it's home. when russian troops took over my car, ethan late february when morning. so just came to that house and accused of us see, love taking pictures. they tied him up and left him outside and his tooth shed, hulu. but it was very cold, especially at night. would you the worst that i had? no idea what happened to my wife forbush. one day a soldier came and brought me my special medicine, leaky. this was the moment when i understood that my wife was alive everywhere. it's a similar picture. neighbors of us sealant natalia, tell us that in this neighbourhood alone, russian, so just could 53 people. a 17 year old gro was allegedly raped for weeks,

what are you digging here? he said a grave for my dog. what they told him of this is your great now. and i just shot him 3 weeks ago, my carrier was liberated by the ukrainian army. since then, many volunteers have come to her with the clean up work about the gruesome memories of the survivors will probably stay with them forever. but here, more headlines now connected to the war in ukraine. german chancellor o sholtes reportedly wants to increase defense spending by an additional $2000000000.00 euros. 400000000 of that would go to fund e u. shipments of weapons to ukraine. finland is reportedly close to saying yes to applying to join nato, and that's despite threats from russia. the countries, europe minister says that the fins have already made up their mind to that polling shows strong support for joining the alliance. russia says the move would risk
