ukrainian soldiers are still in the steel mill. however, to parting in darkness and under russian guard, the 1st ukrainian troops have left the as of style still works. off to weeks of fierce resistance. buses brought 53 of the worst injured to a hospital here in the nearby russian controlled town of nova, as often ukrainian officials said another 211 soldiers had been taken to separate his territory. further north presence lensky made clear that getting as of stells, defend his home, was a priority. when my mom had you, she does, we hope to save the lives of our boys, that among them are heavily wounded. they have been treated obama. i want to on the line ukraine needs its ukranian heroes alive. this is our principal gentlemen, chevrolet to hopes of the work continues to bring our boys home. and it requires

delicacy and time just. it's unclear just how many soldiers still left inside the heavily bombarded as of style complex. but the evacuation seems to indicate that the long and bitter siege is drawing to an end. ukrainian army announced late on monday that the main goal now was to save the lives of the remaining defenders. and it had been cars, flooded like sand that joins us now from live and west in ukraine. max, 260 troops have now been evacuated from the as a sell. still plant been now in russian control territory. what more do we know? so that's right on his from what we know right now is that more than $260.00 defenders, the ukranian military personnel were evacuated from the as of steel plant. i'm 53 of them are supposed to be in that critical condition. are supposed to be heavily wounded animals will receive medical treatment in russian health territory and the

remaining of roughly 211 are supposed to be transferred. and then later take part in a prisoner swap. needless to say and the situation in the us tell, steal work. so we've heard of it a lot in the last couple months as was incredibly dire. so the people who were fighting they were all in a quite difficult condition. and there have been many calls for their evacuation, though not to russian territory. something that the russians out would not agree out, did not agree on in the past. so now it seems that this indicates a change in politics. there, there in the region actually sending military personal ukrainians into russian territory and now putting, putting them in into that situation. but as we heard just now, that report on the priority now seems to be to save lives and do whatever it takes . and in the hope of getting them back from craig, how they have also been reports about explosions in live the night. can you tell us

the performance of russian troops and the development of the conflict have taken many analysts by surprise. when russian troops 1st entered ukraine, a quick victory is what president putin may have been hoping for. but a long drawn out conflict is what he is getting ukrainian troops say they've managed to push the russians back to the border doubles and as arms from the west continued to rollin, he brought the russian troops have been forced to change strategies. analysts say what's happening now could become a war of attrition. the development of the war house confounded ah, on the list, i think it every 10. i think that i all seen the initial stages. there was the belief that russia probably wouldn't quickly because they didn't. they, they withdrew from around

a cave in order to concentrate their forces to attack a new crying. don't pass. i'm what is interesting is the extent to which they have now, or are now in the process. i think of failing at dot. this footage, released by the ukranian armed forces, purports to show the destruction of a russian held bridge in the hands region. ukrainian forces have also recaptured several villages. rosco, whatsoever is one of them. much residence here say it was under russian control for 2 months. though the fighting has stopped. the village now lies in ruins. down the stairs. oh gosh, no. it is scary to see it like this. the village was beautiful and big. now it's all broken. everything is destroyed, williams, the village council of school and everything it's destroyed. people have died as well as the war drags on and the death toll continues to climb. so

a diplomatic nightmare. as turkish president reach up, tie up, or the one shot down, any hopes, 1st smooth process. azure. juan accuses the nordic countries of working against his government. that includes a recent refuses to extradite kurdish militants that turkey considers terrorists is welcome, good man, heard you can and neither sweden nor finland has an open, clear stance against terrorist organizational solutions. besides, throughout this process, even if they say they're against harris organizations through teachers, on the contrary, they have statements saying they would not expedite certain terrorists as even if they say they'll be exercising them. we believe once bitten, twice, shy, acute hallmarks in many fear, the fracture could play into peyton's hands at a time when western leaders are desperate to display unity. okay. has a quite look at some of the stories away from the war. flashes have broken off as
