further progress by ukrainian troops in clearing russian forces from around hockey . that's what we're hearing and the area that has been re taken by the ukranian troops now is quite large. we are even seeing observers are predicting that russia will withdraw completely, that as they have done in the areas around key of the situation was very similar. they are russian troops standing in the north of the city and forming a half circle around the city until they were and there until they were pushed back by a counter offensive and then decided to leave in. hark, if they have been staying longer, they have been a trying to hold the territory, but as they are losing more and more territory, we might see the same scenario that they're completely withdrawn from the area. we've heard the term style not used in some places. are there any other places in

the east where forces are making any type of significant progress on either side or the situation and on bus is much different from what we are seeing in heart. give no side has the upper hand and it in there, and if you're fighting is very intense there and or the russians have made some gains there. the the, the town of robina, it's north of seaver underneath. that's one of the 2 main administrative centers of the ukrainian control territories is said to be fully under russian control, which means that they have advanced quite a, quite a bit towards this critical a city of civil donetta. so, and there is another place where the russians have also made advances. however, these advances are not breakthroughs. so they're not that they haven't decided the, the trajectory of the war yet the, the ukrainians are putting up fierce resistance to these advances. so stalemate is of course,

one term that we could use there. he often about how galvanized how committed the cranium people are to the defense of their country. is news of progress in places like hockey, allowing some genuine optimism to grow in ukraine. good news or fueling optimism, that's not a secret, but i would say that this optimism and this are resolve that the ukrainians have shown what was pretty much formed before the war on one hand. but also in, within the 1st days of the war when ukrainian forces showed that they could put up resistance to russian advances. and when the russian advances that were quite quick in the 1st few days are met with fierce resistance. and they were stalled and they were not able to encircle key if the president stayed in the city. and this is, i think, where optimism had started to grow. and of course,

everything that now works in favor of the ukrainian forces fuels that optimism. the w correspondent, mathias billing in keith. thank you. a russian soldier has gone on trial in cube accused of committing war crimes during the 1st weeks of the invasion of ukraine. the 21 year olds of is alleged to have shot and unarmed civilian in a car. it's the 1st trial of its kind with ukrainian prosecutors preparing cases against at least 40 other soldiers and investigating thousands more possible war cramps and media scrum that ukraine 1st trial of a russian soldier on war crimes charges. the 21 year old is accused of killing a 62 year old man, shooting him dead to stop him from reporting the russian soldiers presence to the ukrainian military. put a version of the recorder some screwed on february 28th in a village northwest of her chief. the accused shot an unarmed and on threatening
