for 7 weeks now. ukraine says at least 21000 people have been killed. out of a pre war population of 450000. some 100000 people have remained trapped with that. the barest of necessities varies ukraine's prime minister says russia's merciless attack on mary april has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe. talk, but he maintains ukrainian troops won't surrender. they re, no city steel is not fallen. there is still our military forces. our soldiers, so they will fight those end. and on sunday, ukraine's remaining troops and merry oppo did indeed defy rushes, surrender or die ultimatum. this is the soul known, remaining pocket of resistance. some 2500 ukrainian troops and a few 100 foreign mercenaries are dug in here at the sprawling as of stall steel

mill. many civilians and children are also sheltering here. with the passing of the surrender deadline progression, separatists forces say they're now preparing for attack level loop, but there are only 2 blocks of buildings left before the mill. yeah. there's a small area around the factory and enemies. they're hiding the basements there. your father gets off and we're preparing the ground assault. the artillery will shell them 1st before we send in close quarters, assault troops, which all over bottles of the litter she'd read. in his latest video address, ukraine's president volota musa lensky said he believed the russian offensive in the east of the country will begin soon was. but he accused russia of wanting to finish off and destroy the don bass. just as russian troops have raised mary a pole to the ground, they w correspond rebecca writ as is monitoring events from the ukrainian capital. i

asked her how the situation in mary or paul might affect piece talks. mary paul, very much front and center in this conflict at the moment as you just heard those ukrainian forces, ignoring russian orders to come out with their arms up band. the russians continuing to fight for that k target cc president. and he came out yesterday after that surrender and di order was made by russia and said they've russia went ahead and indeed, killed those ukrainian soldiers. then the peace talks would die with them a bit. in reality, those pieces have been on ice already for a couple of weeks now. ever since russia retreated from areas here in around keven to the north of this city. and the true scale of the atrocities that went on there under the occupation came to light that really the ukrainians and russians have not been talking since then. there was a room as over the weekend that the russian oligarchy, roman abramoff, which was in town to try and resuscitate those talks. but the foreign minister has

said that the russians and the ukrainians have not been speaking. so mary paul will play a key, the events, what happens they will play a key role as to whether those pay talks can get back on the way. right. and as these assaults increase, how people prepare it. well, i mean, you know, definitely, and married you polar situation is dia citizens, they're apparently being controlled by the russians. now the russians a ton of control movement in the city, removing even mobile phones of people and the like people in other parts of the country preparing for the heavier cell that's expected on the east. so overnight we saw it more shelling in hard key 5 people reported to have been killed there. we've same increase shelling in mid july of a city in the 8th, sorry in the south near odessa, so that the mayor there has said it's been under almost constant bombardment overnight. the citizens of the don bass have been told to get out as they prepare

for the russians to re focus their attack on that region. particularly lou haskell people are the author is they're saying get out while you still can. i mean that order has been for more and a week now, but that's in the calls are increasing as they really are expecting some of the worse fighting to, to, to return there. and fighting. also returning to the capital case where you our bring us up to date also this is a city that is trying to carry on is trying to get back to some semblance of normality under the most difficult circumstances. in recent days, we have seen people coming out in the streets, the traffic is increasing in the capital or some shops are opening some non essential shop, some restaurants as well. but of course the authorities here are preparing for increased attacks in the mer. vitale, cliff go wanting people not to return to the city to really take those air raid sirens very seriously. and we have seen some renewed attacks on the city over the weekend,

some successful tar targets on military artillery factories. so definitely expecting a more attacks here on the capital as well. it's rebecca written in cave, well away from the current fighting people in the ukrainian towns that had previously been held by russian forces and are trying to restart their lives in towns like butcher where mass graves are being unnerved. residents are processing the horrors they endured under weeks of russian occupation. while the fighting may have ended in boucher mourning is far from over. locals here struggling to deal with what they went through. yeah, sure. what do you think? i just pray to day to stop crying. i didn't stop crying for a whole day. it is like very difficult. it's difficult to talk about the war mom. we need to come to our senses and then talk, because we've survived these horrors can and are constantly crying. christina, black to my da bodies, the horrified the world a fortnight ago, a gone from the streets. but the russian troops,

actions afresh in residence mines up yet again, they chased people like they were on a safari. less that they tried to take the highest positions on the top floor of houses that they could see everything like that actual video in nearby bird younger, much of the town has been left in ruins, rescue as a still searching good bodies. beneath the rubble, dozens of residence remain missing and feared dead. wallen, barred yankee and butcher, the worst may be over the now far to the east. in hawk eve residence still living under relentless bombardment in just the last few days, more than a dozen civilians have been killed by russians shelling at least 5 more died in strikes on sunday. survivors are traumatized. i do it because, you know, when a dog hears a bang and it starts to tremble all over,

even if the noise is far away, i'm like that now. everything, every part of me is trembling here. unfortunately for hockey's inhabitants, the worst may still lie ahead. ukrainian officials warned that russia is preparing for a fresh assault on the battered city. all this by those warnings of attacks, observe a say, a full russian offensive in ukraine's. the east has yet to get off the ground. asked the w. russia. unless konstantin aga, what's holding russian forces back, i think that the russian generals unlocked very keen on this major offense. that wasn't out, as you rightly said, quite some time ago. because there's almost little, don't really know that you bring in resistance. it's very, very different, very professional. so casualties are very much in the order of the, the major major will also want to be able to block maybe non achievement of that

was go that problem. and they know already put in dove to those who and he's, you do not serve well the, the said the mysterious speak to the commander of the lexi lead disappeared from, from, from the public. and when he's on, come on that one of the russian, maybe it will probably tells you quite a bit about the fear that well, if i were rushing general, i would be very reluctant to undertake any very, any specific major offensive now. well, very, very explicit. and force, right, another poll which has seemed so much damaged and now the principal focus of the battle. remind us why it's so important. it is important because it is a major port and that either it is a major points, major city. that will it fall into the russians will help greet land corridor or between the russian federation proper. and the crime is something that wanted to

achieve actually since 2014, when the annex the peninsula center. and also it's become symbolically important. that is so much of being said, even on rational propaganda television, about the importance of mar, you build it, you just can't go back on that. you can't just leave it alone and insert way, but it will be extremely difficult because it is still very, very significant. i will say many fortress or the russians to take the style, the steel from which oh colleague reporters is basically kilometers a bone square kilometers of territory, which will be extremely difficult to take. so i think expect very have, if i think, but they say that probably russell bosses will still continue to show indiscriminately because in this situation, it's better for them then john to take basically house to house fighting. right.

but presidents as the landscape has said, wiping out ukrainian soldiers, defending money or poll would mean the end of peace talks. does president you actually care about peace talks now? well, i think that's true, tim doesn't care that much for him. the piece talks mostly i got a window dressing for the public, domestic and in for the west to say, well, you know, i'm, i'm a peaceful ma'am. i'd like to ask you to surrender. i suppose that it is just signalling that he's defined. and in one of his interviews recently a day or 2 ago, he said that basically the aim is to retake the whole east from wooten, which is basically an offensive offensive order all the gradient drop. so he's defined and i think that's really the fate of more you will now looks a bit like for give me the comparison it's, it's becoming a grainy installing job. and in this respect it's, it's

a major symbol for both grants and right. i see them correspondent, under russia, expert constantine, i get no vladimir prudence war on you. credit has gone ahead with the blessing of the head of the russian orthodox church. but on all of the churches follows up behind the invasion on russian monastery. here in germany is taking a different stand amongst that this and gales, abbey, just north of berlin, have opened their doors to ukrainian refugees seeking shelter from moscow's bumps. the w went to visit them. o national combat, to kneel, earbuds greets his guests. normally his 9 months would be eating in the small kitchen, but this russian orthodox monastery has taken in about 20 refugees from ukraine. so now everyone takes their meals in ships. they communicate in ration. the refugees
