a dumbass 8 years ago, capturing part of the region. now it says it has to take the rest. d, w. correspondence. mathias bellinger has visited a town called new york, living under the shadow of war. for years occasional shelling has occurred here. but now the shells had daily. welcome to new york. that is what this town on the front line in eastern ukraine is officially called. german settlers picked the name in the 19th century style and renamed it novgorod scale. the name was officially changed back last year, june boris boucher of a local poet was hoping the name of new york would bring a new spirit to the former industrial town. where it's worth, look at that couple when there's no production anymore. yes. that we thought the name would attract investors who would help us deal with this building has been restored with foreign

a has been married yet. we've been holding forums and cultural events here, given circle sabrina. now bomb craters lined the road in front of the cultural club . several shells of hit the neighbourhood, wharton. oh, my windows burst and the roof was lifted. i was sitting in the basement when it happened. i opened while he gala instead of reading his poetry. oh, trav now looks after the remaining inhabitants and organizes aid. i am in the basement every day and what we've been sitting in basements for 8 years. yes. many houses in town are damaged or destroyed. under 3 quarters of the 8000 inhabitants have left. those who remain live in constant fear. alayna vos joke is picking up the pieces. a rocket came down in her yard 2 days ago . she doesn't really but then we're trying to replace the doors. we find some old

ones because there are no more doors, not here and not there. i don't even know what the use of restoring everything is that we fix it now and tomorrow, another shell hit boris as evacuated his wife to western ukraine where his daughter lives. you see what is happening here. nevertheless, he's determined to stay as long as help is needed. now, yes, her on, as the saying goes, i hope is the last one to die. i'm on ukraine side. hold. i trust the news and i was born in this town yet. i will tell you what, so i hope there will be no incoming shell to stop this whistling humiliate. which sounds almost like we need to dive. just months ago, they were dreaming of creating

a cultural hub in new york. now it's all about surviving. i spoke to military unless frank led, which earlier, and he said russia is likely to suffer more true clauses as they try to take major towns in the dumbass. let's put the days that they've made it to perspective the russians is nothing particularly, i know it sounds callous but unexpected. here the gains i've made this, i've been slow over the last few weeks and the casualties have been very high. and i say grind through interest of the era, the net which is now the focus of the entire russian more effort. so right now, those casualties will get higher, the games will get slower. they will have expended their momentum after this fight and taken even more cryptic losses. so can they be stopped? yes, they can. we must get fixated on one battle in what's going to be a long war, attrition davis ukraine in the medium and longer terms. ok,

so the gains might get slower, but if larger parts of his ukraine are. com, could you expect the russians to go for other parts of the country again, like they tried? well, it seems that they'll have enough trouble holding on to what they have rather than trying to over extend what they, what the attacks that they've already made. i don't think they'll have the momentum to go further. they are making attempts now in the south towards upper asia. they're being repulsed. they will of course, try and extend their line in bus further west. i suspect they'll be reposed the choice for the training i come out, not by the way is whether to try and pull back out of our events. i don't think they'll do that. they're prepared positions and they wanted to show today casualties to the russians. so the russian problem over the summer will be holding on to what they have, especially as western american start getting through. that's a slow process, but eventually that bite will start to take home. ok when the dust settles as it

were, and the dumbass whenever that is, do you expect we will find evidence of atrocities like the ones committed in boot or pain or in maria, pull them those atrocities that are taking place? i certainly think they are taking place, of course now behind russian lines and we will find out against the crating military will find evidence once a re take the ground maybe into next year. who knows when, but look, russian army does what the russian army does. it's an army deficit of professional standards, of ethical standards. it seems entirely unfamiliar and willing to comply with the basic laws and customs of war as wanted. a veteran colonel said only 2 weeks ago that i me suffering from a severe lack of professionalism. and i think it was internally right. what else to professionalism is not only the ability to apply force to targets in the pursuit of operational games. there's also to do so while complying with the laws and customs of war that malaria russians have shown themselves incapable of doing so. so,

the question we will be finding more evidence of atrocities and they'll be terrible . but we won't be seeing that for quite some time. we suspect you kind of start taking back them to talking to frank lead, which thanks for your analysis. thank you all. and has a quick look at some other stories making use around the world. several civilians have been killed in easton democratic republic of congo by members of the adf rebel group, the tech to place in the benny region in north keeping province early on saturday. the local red cross said 24 people died. and in the same d. s. e province, the u. n says more than 72000 people have been displaced in just one week. is due to fighting between the army and the m. 23 rebel group. the u. n said around 7000 people seeking safety had crossed the border into uganda in the last week alone. israeli police have class with palestinians at the alex, a mosque in jerusalem. the unrest comes ahead of

that he's transparent body, and he has nothing to do with any criminal group going. i would not dare with him that he or your companion. but there is one goal, gutierrez and laura say they aim to achieve above all. it's perhaps colombians greatest hope. but something that has eluded the current administration to bring peace to the country after 50 years of civil war. oh. at the cannes film festival, the pound dog, the coveted top prize, has gone to swedish director reuben assailant, for triangle of sadness, a satire on modern day capitalism. catherine cinema talent also made waves this year, which hark chan, walk winning, best director for his erotic crime thriller decision to leave sang ho, became the 1st south korean to pick up the best actor prize for his role in broker . i don't go to the room until june,
