. 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 widely. he gala instead of reading his poetry, oh, trav now looks after the remaining inhabitants and organizes aid. i guess i'm in the basement every day and we've been sitting in basements for 8 years. yes. many houses in town are damaged or destroyed. 3 quarters of the 8000 inhabitants have left those who remain live in constant fear. alane, a vast joke is picking up the pieces. a rocket came down in her yard 2 days ago. he doesn't really but that 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 shall head morris has 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. yes, her as the saying goes, i hope is the last one to die. i'm on ukraine side who 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 with 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.

earlier i asked military unless frank lead, which if recent rush in advance as me and they'll be able to seize control of the entire dumbass region. well, let's put the grades 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 is i've been slow over the last few weeks and the casualties have been very high. and i say grind through into serbia internet, which is now the focus of the entire russian war effort. so right now those casualties will get higher, the gains will get slower. they will have expended momentum after this fight and take it even more cryptic losses. so can they be stopped? yes, they can, but we mustn't get fixated on one battle in what's going to be a long war? a lot where 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 the bus further west. i suspect they'll be reposed the choice for the credit high command, by the way, is whether to try and pull back out. i don't think they'll do that. they're prepared positions and they want to, to, to dish out today, casualties to the russians. so i think 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 my real pull then well, those atrocities that are taking place. i certainly think they are taking place, of course now behind russian lines and we will find evidence of the crate in military will find evidence once they retake that ground. maybe to 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 or unwilling to comply with the basic laws and customs of war. as one of the veteran, connell said only 2 weeks ago, there are me suffering from a severe lack of professionalism. and i think it was entirely right. and one element to professionalism is not only the ability to apply force to targets in the, in the pursuit of operational games. there's also to do so while comply with the laws and customs of war that go about maliah. russians have shown themselves incapable of doing so. so the question we will be finding more evidence of

atrocities and i'll be terrible. but we won't be seeing that for quite some time. we suspect you can start taking back. good, talking to you, frank. lead, which thanks for your analysis. thank you all. here's a quick look at some other stories making news around the world. several civilians have been killed in eastern democratic republic of congo by members of the adf rebel group. the attack took place in the many region in north key the province early on saturday. the local red cross said 24 people died. and in the same d r c 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 you and said around 7000 people seeking safety had crossed the border into uganda. in the last week alone is ready. police have class with palestinians at the alexa mosque in jerusalem. the unrest comes ahead of a planned nationalist parade through the old city. israel says the march is meant
