russia claims it has struck hundreds of military targets and weapons in recent days . but civilians too are under fire. a warning the following report contains some graphic images civilized. this is what russian shelling does. medics rush to help a wounded woman next to her. another person is clinging to life. then, sirens and more explosions. the emergency workers rush for covered with they have no choice but to leave the victims exposed and bleeding out on the street . why? and sunday shelling of her keys, ukraine's 2nd largest city, killed at least 5 people, and wounded another. 13 graphic scenes like this one have become commonplace around the country. as russian forces bear down on eastern ukraine,
6:03 pm
they're keeping up with attacks elsewhere from an apparent effort to weaken ukraine's ability to defend itself. but it's the wo i call on all those who live under unending bombardment to leave. our volunteers will help you do that. oh it the russian defense ministry said it struck more than $300.00 targets over night across the country and downed ukrainian fighter jets. and monday, the governor of the leave region said strikes. they are killed and wounded several people, including civilians at non military sites. thank you. felix moon. this is an absolutely barbaric attack on an absolutely civilian target. you people came to work in the morning when the grizzly marble of the western part of ukraine has largely avoided russia's wrath. but it's not been totally immune. russian military
6:04 pm
planners have said no where in ukraine is safe. something the country's civilian population knows painfully well on me while a few 1000 fighters and some civilians are holding out in a vast steel plant in the eastern port city of murray, who bull. it's the last pocket of ukrainian resistance in the city. authorities say the defenders will fight to the end. i shall claims to control all of mario pals. urban areas most are in rooms. mariel pole has not fallen yet. the port city has suffered the brunt of russian attacks in ukraine. it has been under siege for several weeks now. ukraine says at least 21000 people have been killed. and those who remain in the city are trapped without the barest of necessities. what is happening here and mario pole is expected to soon spread to
6:05 pm
other areas to what is his ged sca russian troops are preparing for an offensive operation and eastern ukraine in the near future. what they want to literally finish off and destroy the don bass. this you destroy everything that brought theme to this industrial regional russian forces or destroying mario poll. the want to wipe it off the face of the earth and other cities in the done yet. and lou hands regions remedy done it. he will as go velocity on sunday, ukraine's remaining troops and mario poll defined rushes, surrender or die ultimatum. some tune, a half 1000 ukrainian troops are dug in here at the sprawling as of stall steel plant. it is now the only known remaining pocket of resistance. many civilians and children also sheltering here with the passing of the surrender
6:06 pm
deadline. pro russian separatist forces say they are now preparing for attack. look, but it's there 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, you're going to get those, and we're preparing the ground assault. the artillery will show them 1st. before we send in close quarters, assault troops will show up a bottle of tomato. meanwhile, mario paul defenders are set to fight till the end. earlier i spoke to military analyst or frank a lead which and i asked him what we know about the ukranian forces. still holding out invariable yes, we know a little bit. the made core of the defenders is composed by the us of battalion, which is highly experienced. a bunch of fighters have been fighting off the last 8 years in that region. from the russian perspective are often seen as highly nationalistic, very far right wing,
6:07 pm
and made himself of the us about symbolic target. the other unit that made it unit is a unit of thought ukrainian marines, many from, i think, were captured early this week. it's my money up, or would you say a defining battle in the course of this war? and if so, why is it so important? yes, i think so later from 2 to perspective, from the russian perspective, it's the 1st major city they will have taken if they take it when they take it. the 2nd reason, of course, is that it is the final leak in the land bridge between metropolitan russia in call it, that the main body of russia. and there is a bus and the crimea. so that's very important. it is a major industrial center as well. of course. the 2nd perspective course is the ukrainians, and i would suggest that over the next few days, what we're going to see is a bottle very much like that. which rack standing right with the red october
6:08 pm
steel factory day and it took 3 months for the germans even to to get to the point where they thought they were taking it held on for 3 months. i don't think the defenders in my up all of the of style are going to last that long, but it's going to be a very tough fight for both sides. very nice. the baltic, one of course, the ukrainians and the symbolic one and did it. it's been 3 weeks or i says russia announced that it's turning, it's attention to ukraine's east, but then a sense of has been slow to get going. what's been holding them back? yes, they've taken almost no ground and they've done best area actually throughout the whole. the whole campaign, what's happening now of course is that they're recessing their forces from the defeating care. that will take some time. i don't think we're going to be seeing a major offense if they're for the insert the next week, or maybe in the next 2 weeks. we are seeing a tax, also seeing you crated counter attacks. but the endemic problems with the russian forces remain, which is why it's taking them weapons,
6:09 pm
which will certainly contribute to this battle going on on internet problems. big corruption, poll logistics, poor planning, poor command structures and antiquated doctrine. eventually they will get themselves together. we can see now force is forming north of, of is you making no probing attacks as a while we have you with us. i want to get your take on what happened in the live city, relatively untouched by fighting compared to places like my you ball, a safe haven for those fleeing violence and other parts of the country. at least 7 people killed in russian strikes is the nature of the war changing but seems to me the next of the war has been fairly consistent with russian attacks and civilian populations. trying to deliver that message later. this is, this is not a safe area, but there are no safe areas that we can catch caption can you almost anywhere.
6:10 pm
there's no way you can feel safe. we saw the attack last week on crime, a toast, for example, just op ukrainian said look, it's time for people to leave the area, the direct response being the attack on them on one of the main evacuation areas. now this is strategic strike was so called strategic strike. it's the intention is to terrorize and undermine the morale population because it's doing the reverse as the 6 generally do. frankly, richer senior electron line strategy at the university of portsmouth. sir, thank you very much for taking the time to take our questions greatly appreciate it . thank you. all. despite the renewed assault on ukraine, russia suffered a major loss. the black sea flagship, the muskrat sank after allegedly being hit by ukrainian missiles, something the kremlin denies. now images have emerged, appearing to show the worship on fire and engulfed in smoke just moments before it went down. the missile cruiser was the biggest russian warship lost in action since
6:11 pm
world war 2. and a short time ago, i spoke to the w correspondent, konstantin, egret, and i asked him how damaging the sinking of moskva is for the kremlin? very much so you know, i was, i was, i spoke to several minutes or analysts including some specialist in enable affairs over the last 48 hours. and basically the unanimous assessment is that this is of course not only terrible p r and then sure that basically the whole rushing on tools is as well not very competent. but it also points in the view of my interlocutors to kind of reveal slightly if he wish or raises the cause in a bit over the overall unpreparedness. and as your previous speaker said, basically antiquated,
6:12 pm
metra nature of russian military thanking the fact that this was the only blue water ship in the whole black c clean, which actually means that was the only ship that was able to conduct operations globally. also is something to be reckoned with. it underwent a refit in 2018, 2020. and this did not and extensively judging by some russian sources, at least it included a completely new radio electronics system installed in the ship and it didn't save it. so basically tells us, i think, those who watch it, including putting military potential military grocers, them making their conclusions. and these conclusions are not very positive from the point of view of the promise ration of the russian forces, at least the russian needed cause. i hope we can elaborate on that a little bit. this,
6:13 pm
this now raise any doubts about russia's ability to capture and control eastern regions of ukraine. well, i wouldn't go as far and i'm not on the ground to judge, although frankly, the fact that until now it's nearly 2 months of the rule that that would seem there is no major ukrainian city that's been taken by the ross. let me tell you something, but at least we'll go to the navy. i can tell you again, conversing with the experts over the last 2 days, is that it is a major blow to the russian operations general. first and foremost of all, i must lock the cruiser which used to go to law in the solid days, which was glory ah, is was the only ship that could provide a serious air defense to the rest of the baltic sea fleet. that is important also because there are truck transports,
6:14 pm
that potentially transport troops from the rational to bite crime min minutes. oh, to the front, to do essentially to, to the coast you brandon coast. now these ships, if you ever want to send them anywhere, will not be well protected. we'll be essentially, i would say sitting ducks about much easier targets will the ukrainians. and secondly, if, and that is, i quote one of the experts with whom i spoke. if the russians ever thought about amphibious assault on the port of death, a major and very important city for your great, all right, another important point, they must forget about it now, because without the cover from moscow, it will be plain, but it will be a massive w correspondence and russia. alice constantine a good, thank you very much. while as the ukrainian army suffer, his losses in battle more men are being called up to serve for now,
6:15 pm
only were service have to answer the call, but all men deemed eligible are banned from leaving the country and could be drafted to the front lies for some it's a battle they relish for others. it's one they dread you'd abuse. amune as if has been to meet some of them. i'm a peaceful man. i helen or grab a gun. so i not feel myself comfortable because of those thoughts. but i think if i will have to grab a gun, if i will have to fight for ukraine. so i think i will stay and i will do what i need to do. my yes it is. i would give, i'm cold up and i think i'm ready even though i've never held a weapon in my life and everything can be learned step by step, i'm following him so as that it says no, no harm to any living creature. i didn't help some personal hate or
6:16 pm
desire to use a wireless like writing against people, but to well, if, if there was, if there was no option. well, i'm interested in defending this land from intruders. and there's lots of other interesting ways of doing this currently on working, working as, as her dresser. it's my profession and i miss for journalists and i'm just derived from the gina lympics like on the 23rd of february. and like next the next morning, the divorce bars to ah verify y'all be present on our public broadcast. nothings has been moved, nickel we evacuated for keep and we're continuing to work on the information from
6:17 pm
martini from that of. it's a very important moment now to most of the victims, we will not get up with someone. may i ask why we men aren't on the front lines, but i would say, anthea, we're also on a front line right now, but a very, some of that of, i don't know what will happen, like in 2 days in 3 days here, but i suppose like every ukrainian have to who have to do their job. what to do? it's a main question. my wife and my daughter are in another country now and in poland. i can probably only see them off the wool when they can return to ukraine river in it. because i never thought, oh, clean my mom and my girlfriend's parents sold, they left on either on the road and i got the hod didn't i didn't call my daughter for the 1st 3 weeks from like,
6:18 pm
cuz it was very emotional and i couldn't hold back my tears but so i didn't call 3 weeks up a phone call about it since i started to calm down because we've been in touch with miss shelf. ms. varner, my chance. now just stay here waiting for something i don't know, actually waiting for victory of the ukrainian army and that the compilation was produced by my colleague. i mean, i see from who is here with me on the set. i mean so many impressions there share with some of some of your experiences talking to these men. well, it was actually difficult to get people to go on camera and tell me what they thought. a lot of men thought that i wanted them to go on, and so they were scared to fight that they were cowards because i specifically focused on and who weren't fighting already. but what i found was that most people, while they wanted to help, they didn't know exactly the best way to do that. so you had some people, even one of the men in the report, he had tried on the very 1st day of the war to go sign up. and he was turned away
6:19 pm
because they had so many volunteers who already had combat experience. that he didn't get a chance, you know somebody, he was outraged by what had happened to his country and he wanted to sacrificed his life for it. then on the other hand, you had men who said, i've never shot a gun. i wouldn't be a good fighter. i don't want to go to the front lines because of that, but i could serve my country in a better way. and in the end, i saw that what bothered people, the most is that they won't be able to see their families who have for the country until the war is over. and no one really knows when that's going to be. it's a terrible predicament or all around. can you outline for us the rules of engagement in terms of who has to serve and who doesn't have to serve in the army? well, as the lensky said, on the 1st day of the war, that no man between the age of 18 and 60 who's fit to serve could leave the country . now, there are exemptions for that. if you have a health problem, then if you're not fit to serve, then you can leave the country. or if you have more than 3 children, or if one of your children is disabled, then you can also leave the country to take care of them. in another country, they are,
6:20 pm
there are 4 steps of the conscription process. we're at stage 3 right now, which means that people who have had some kind of military training, even if that was just a course at the university that had to do with military, then they have to serve. but so far, stage 4 hasn't been engaged. and that would be all civilians, all civilian men have to present themselves to be drafted to the military. we're not that far, but some people think if that continues, if we see continual losses like this, ukraine might have to go that way. and in conclusion, i mean has there been it, are people are biding by these rules? are they accepting of this marshall? i understand it for the most part. yeah. for the most part yes. i didn't talk to a single man. he didn't say that they wanted to stay in the country and help, but there are reports of a lot of men fleeing over 1000 about 1090. 1 men were reported to have crossed the border illegally into moldova. and there's a smuggling rings,
6:21 pm
or were smugglers charging up to $15000.00 to get men over the borders? people, falsifying paper senior, they have disabled children. this is a very small percentage, but their experience is pretty unique. you know, poland said that they wouldn't turn anybody back because they said it's a human right to flee from a war, and that's ukraine's business. if they want to keep men there. but according to you and law, refugees are allowed to the country. if they feel threatened by that war, menissi for thank you so much for this very interesting perspective. thank you. ah, and football, byron munich, coach sher julian august, man says he received death threats from fans at the club was knocked out of the champions league. but the various had better luck in the bonus league, moving closer to claiming the german title after beating armenia b, the felt julian novels men's bye and have only the bonus league. it's a focus on now. 3 points in bill of feldwood edged them agonisingly close to
