europeans residents are planning the reconstruction of their city. one thing that strikes you when you enter a pain is the silence. these once bustling streets now scorched and deserted, then sometimes the silence is broken. by the sound of people trying to put their lives back together. i have nothing on my route. 300 square meters of roof is missing. above 4 of the apartments, there's nothing but the blue sky above a pop up of the senior neighbor ogre is the caretaker of these $82.00 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, or 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 all did, maybe live here as a last resort. do you understand what many of us are from done bass, we came here from war just to simply live and war came here after us. i think we are peaceful people. we don't want anything bad. we just want to live what law horror knew like you were 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. there building was also badly damaged by rocket fire. one woman shows me where her flat used to be. double almost filing a. this was my bad dream and there was a balcony behind it larger and now there is no balcony there at all or so. um my things were there like a little away switch of it, which had never, it's gone. oh,

with butter on them while for many who fled when the war broke out, they have little left to come back to it for those who stayed behind many will have an even bigger recovery to contend with the day i if the wall comes again, i will survive in any case, i will always survive because i have a bear and he protects manish crime. one yes, the 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 night. and that's how i am on the lesser ordinance of talk. the not so silent trauma that my live on in their lives forever. ah, the russian attacks are currently focused on eastern and southern ukraine. the port city of mateo pole has been largely destroyed. now,

the residence of odessa are preparing for the worst of the road to safety, leads deep beneath odessa to more than 20 meters below the port city is a 2500 kilometer long tunnels system. nobody knows this underground labyrinth better than engineer roman mazda and just friend alexander, when the 1st to rocket said odessa, the pair began converging the tunnels into shelters almost every night. doesn't self families seek refuge here during air ridge alerts. we're really deep on to ground and to we don't he as explosions on the surface. the whole house is shattering the windows, shattering this to where is kerry and her here children behave 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 for used by partisans to fight against nazi. and nowadays, we also use this catacomb in this war is new war. and i think in, sometimes in sometime further, 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 of 36, our curfew was imposed. the security forces in odessa, a looking with concern towards other black see cities where the fighting has been intensifying. many military analysts believed putin as planning to cut ukraine off

from the c tucker this at sir, or death. i said very important city we calling liberal pearl of ukraine, unless it is also a port city. this is why it's so crucial for us, lou, and of course, also for the enemy, for putting which in the best wishes roman mows are fears. defending odessa will involve many more nights spent under ground, 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. everyone 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. busy 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. mm. yeah, his eyes show, 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 julius way as dana was, i should say, 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 because i'm talk will 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, they want 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 . 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. up at 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. said oh, you'd have dog sonya has found refuge here to the school now on is never she's innocent to give just as we are, as i'm ready to cry, we're all just waiting for peace. well, no peace everywhere in the world feature. that's my greatest wish. now what he does with their common language is russian habit. neil has integrated the refugees into the monasteries daily routine, including the chores. by you'll see here in the monastery we live by the principal

audra at la bora, labord, a pre and work vehicle. we have 4 heck chairs of land and so there's plenty to do it. oh, 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 know it's on mr. lemme knows. my chair, to me being here is heavenly, peaceful, a spooky in the night require what she and we help and know we'll wake up every morning and i d. m santa fe. sure and everything will be peaceful and calm. he said that the whole emma are not 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 i 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 you fit 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 are 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 emma duncan bus was crystal cindy, that we have to ask, what would christ have done? thinker i think christ would have a light lesson. once abbot neil is convinced that christ is on his side. yet the russian orthodox church supports the war and ukraine. that pains father de neil his monastery was built partly with funding from russia.

listen, citizen glasses, mostly useless lenses and hopefully it's cancer in the see the can cause any war is terrible. and it doesn't have to be this way on the machine. we all have to live together in peace. and if needed, us diplomatic solution should be fine to be watching over. but please, like i never wore not the russian orthodox cleric is standing by ukrainian refugees of elizabeth. he sees how these war victims are suffering and his heart goes out to them. at this table. all people are just people, all with a shared wish for the war in ukraine to and soon
