a way that safe for them. you have to understand that russian forces are basically fighting over every village over every roll over every bridge and same way, obviously, ukrainians as well as they want to make sure and prevent that russian forces do not advance further into the dumbass region. but while this is ongoing, especially after zooming on the swan toss several doing yes, which is the administrative capital of the ones region, which is one of the 2 regions of the dumbass region. and ever since i was his 2014 the russian back separatist to control over the capital affluence, which is the one city allison's that basically senator don. yes, is the ukranian territory in that regard that ukraine wants to make sure that this is not falling also into the hands of separatist or russian forces right now. so as a result, this is was shelling is really, really increasing. and this is, unfortunately, you have the casualties over the past 24 hours alone,

about 13 people at reportedly killed in a new hands region and about 12 of them, according to the loo hunts governor instead of don't yet. so really the focus here is on the city and unfortunately this is were increased fighting increased shelling is going to make the life of people who are hunkering down there in their basement, wherever they can find shelter. it is making the alive as an ascii, sat pointed out there as, as, as how and the really, the question is just how long does is going to go on. because in fact, just yesterday, president savanski signed a, i am the decision that the marshal law is going to be extended by 3 more months in ukraine to very likely unfortunately this what he describes as quote hell is going to last for quite some time. unfortunately, that seems the recent success of ukraine's troops has bolstered keith's confidence . we're going to take a quick look at this tweet by an adviser to president zalinski and mc ilo. put all jak, he's been involved in peace with russia. he writes, do not offer us a ceasefire, and then he adds, keith is not interested in

a new minsk agreement. the ceasefire agreed in 2014, 2015 aimed at ending the fighting. and the dumbass suggesting moscow would simply launch another war in a few years. and then he goes on until russia is ready to fully liberate occupied territories. ukraine's negotiating team is weapons, sanctions, and money funny from, from what you're hearing, have the ukrainians now basically given up on peace talks. and do they believe that they can keep going head to head with the russians if this war continues to drag on as you're suggesting? ukraine certainly did not give up on p stokes, but what they may clear they made clear over and over ever since this will has begun or this new offensive to say so because people are actually still seeing the work she began 2014 for the 1st time of the separatist attack, the dumbass region and notting february this year. however, they say they definitely want to have peace,

but they don't want that piece to be dictated by russia. they do not want russia to basically dictate the conditions under which this piece is going to be a reach or let's just at 1st talk about the possible ceasefire at some point because this is what people are looking at. that just have a ceasefire on the, which we can talk about what's, what's the way forward. but given the full picture that now ukraine is receiving billions of dollars from the u. s. but also from the g 7 countries. this is the tom and ukraine says they want to win this will because they don't want this war to be frozen and russia to attack again in a few years from that from now. he w correspondent, funny fetch our reporting from keith. thank you. now al fighting rages in dumbass, the city of hockey is firmly in ukrainian hands after russian troops were driven away. authorities are eager to restore public life and that includes getting the khaki the subway running again. but there are some obstacles to that. as our correspondent mathias bellinger has been finding out,
