a neighbor ogre is the caretaker of these 82 flats and she lives in one of the top general with my apartment is in this part of the building that was damaged by missiles. she stayed right through the occupation to try to save them from russian soldiers taking them over, but was helpless to stop the missiles. moreover, now it is in this state, the house is uninhabitable until we rebuild it. do you more next door to olga, another group with a similar story. they tell me this wasn't the 1st time they've had to flee. one of putin's was on what you wanted. it made me live here as a last resort. do you understand what many of us are from done boss? we came here from war just to simply live and war came here after us. se loves we are peaceful people. we don't want anything bad. we just want to live what law, horror, new, hiking him, what brought the human rubbish? the most important thing is that it doesn't happen again. person could come back at

any time even to morrow. they are building was also badly damaged by rocket fire. one woman shows me where her flat used to be level almost filing. this was my bedroom and there was a balcony behind it larger and no, there is no balcony there at all or so. my things where they are like a little away says which of which had never it's gone. oh, with butter on awhile for many who fled when the war broke out. they have little left to come back to. but for those who stayed behind many will have an even bigger recovery to contend with the dye dye. if the wall comes again, i will survive in any case. i will always survive because i have a bear and he protects me. oh no one yes, a shad yards de la shortness. i still get frightened by every loud noise,

which i don't know if it will ever go away, but for now, and that's how i am more than less your ordinance a talk. the not so silent trauma that may live on in their lives forever. the russian attacks are currently focused on eastern and southern ukraine. the port city of mario pole has been largely destroyed. now, the residence of odessa are preparing for the worst of the road to safety, leads deep beneath odessa, more than 20 meters below the port city is a 2500 kilometer long tunneled system. nobody knows this underground labyrinth better than engineer rowman mazda and his friend, alexander, when the 1st rocket said odessa, the pair began converging the tunnels into shelters almost every night. doesn't self families seek refuge here during air, rage alerts,

we're really deep on to ground. and we don't, he has explosions on the surface. the whole house is shattering. the windows shattering is to very scary. and her here children behaves them very come. the tunnel system is actually an old curry where limestone was minds more than 100 years ago. since then, they've provided a retreat for gangsters and soviet troops during the 2nd world war, the channels were used as a hide out for resistance fighters. their messages are still on the walls to day dated 1941. this catacombs were used by parties as to fight against nazi and nowadays we also use this cat to comp in this war is new war. and i think in, sometimes in some time, 1st we have to write new inscription here, 2022 above the ground. odessa, residents are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain some kind of normality

. the city was supposed to celebrate its world war to victory over the nazis last weekend, but the events were cancelled for security reasons. instead, a 36 hour curfew was imposed. the security forces in odessa are looking with concern towards other black see cities where the fighting has been intensifying. many military analysts believe putin is planning to cut ukraine off from the c. taco there, said sir odessa, i said, very important city, we call it the pearl of ukraine, unless it is also a port city. this is why it's so crucial for osley, and of course, also for the enemy, for putin, which in the best wishes roman mouser, fierce defending odessa, will involve many more nights spent under ground. he is even started to install an internet network in the tunnels, in preparation for a possible long bachelor het ah,

now to western ukraine, hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have fled to safety in the city of live, among other places. but russian strikes are continuing there as well. every one is longing for a bit of normality. oh, for the 2nd time today air raid sirens and leave. people rush off to find shelter. oh, oh no. when the all clear is given a different sound is heard, lou street musicians have always been a part of the city. but since the war began, a familiar song means something more. oh, yeah. has i? so i think street music is exactly what we need right now. because it takes us back

to the time before the war, the time when we didn't have problems here with the what law. julie foyzey kara, was i should see a problem with them. we're showing that. i think it's good because it helps people stay calm, quiet. it's a tough situation right now, and when you're walking the street and you see musicians still singing, gives you a little bit of a, he's lucky sort of thing. it doesn't work. we'll never block us that she was crying . it was her favorite song. when my husband is not home all day, i listen to this music to listen to that song at home when i'm deployed local minima with hers were the only tears in this side street off of rock square lou. oh. even those headed home before the curfew seemed to walk a bit slower. ah,

there was a tremendous willingness to help refugees from ukraine just now. even a russian orthodox monastery in germany is offering shelter to them in opposition to the official position of the rush orthodox church. oh much oh yeah. habit. the new greets his guests. that normally only has 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 and shifts settle, although you'd have dog. sonya has found refuge here to the school. now one is

never, she's innocent to give just as we are, as i met you guys, we're all just waiting for peace law. peace everywhere in the world. that's my greatest wish. now that with their common language is russian habit to neil has integrated the refugees into the monasteries daily routine, including the chores. but you'll see here in the mona stream, you live by the principal audra at la bora, labord, pre and work that we have for pictures of land. and so there's plenty to do at the low butte has been assigned to the hosting together with her daughter and parents, she's found sanctuary in the russian orthodox monastery. as a practicing christian, she assumed the monks would help her family. she got to know, father de niel some time ago by a facebook could i believe i knew it. so when mister lamar knows my chair to me being here is heavenly, peaceful as spooky in the night required. she and we help and know we'll wake up

every morning and i d. m. sun up as sure and everything will be peaceful and calm. he said that the whole emma had no clue from the outside. the russian orthodox monastery looks impressive, but the manor house is dilapidated and unsafe. the monks and refugees are crowded into the former servants quarters. these every little bit of space? yes, all that our housekeeper, this is our house chapel gets hubble via, you know, set up temporary beds for our refugee families here who it wasn't a if looked at the family the room is cluttered before any mess would have had to have been quickly tidy. but now father de neal doesn't mind that hobbs or had the food and what's important is that they feel good here and 0. that's the mean thing for me as a safety, stephanie, that was my then converse was crystal cindy that we have to ask,

what would christ have done? thinker, i think christ would have a lightless holes. abbot neil is convinced that christ is on his side. yet the russian orthodox church supports the war and ukraine. that pains father de niel. his monastery was built partly with funding from russia who separate us citizens. this is supposedly too slow. this little fis, hopefully comes out in the see the can. can any war is terrible and it doesn't have to be this way and the machine, and we all have to live together in p n a. and if needed, us diplomatic solution should be fine to be watching over. but please, like i never wor, no, the russian orthodox cleric is standing by ukrainian refugees. elizabeth elizabeth . he sees how these war victims are suffering and his heart goes out to them. ah,
