ah, i'm nick spicer, welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is visiting the war tourneys on his 1st official trip outside the capitol. keith, since russia invaded the lensky survey damage in the harkey region where ukrainian forces have pushed back the russian offensive. they also met with troops fighting on the front lines. i asked he w, correspondent mathias burning her in cremmit taurus what signals lensky is trying to send by leaving the capital and risking a front line visit. well, the battle for the most important battle is now happening here in the east of the country and on bass. we are seeing the battle around sea over the net, which is around 60 kilometers from where i am standing now from, from a toss. and we are seeing multiple heavy fighting along the front line in

this area. harkey is not exactly in the dumbass, but it's quite close to you. and it's one of the places where the ukranian army has been able to push back the russian forces. so the city of harker is more or less cell safe now, safer than it used to be. and it's probably worth taking the risk for the president to go there still within reach of rockets anyway, which is every city in ukraine, but it's not within reach of artillery. and it's an important signal because things are getting a bit more dire here. the russians have made some advances and the sign of support is, is quite important. now, at this point of the war, you cray, of course, has been supplied with loss of weapons from nato countries. is as it still wants more weapons including from germany, wants to take back all of its territory. what does it need precisely, and what could happen if it doesn't get those weapons?

well, the russians have put a lot of equipment and a lot of soldiers into exactly this region where i am now. so they're making advances just by sheer firepower. they are not very good at tactics. they have problems of logistics, but they have a lot of ammunition and a lot of firepower, and they keep telling the ukrainian positions in infinitely they just shell and shell and shell until they're ready to advance a little bit. the advances they're making are not big, but they are there. and the only way to beat them back is to sell back and to fire their positions. that's what ukrainian soldiers have told us, and that's exactly why they are saying they need the weapons. the artillery, heavy artillery, especially the western heavy artery, which is a libby, little bit superior to the russian heavy artillery because it's newer, it is more explosive and it can reach further. so that would give them an advantage

and that would give them the possibility to push back at these advances. ok, thanks. did have a horse farm at his barrier in characteristic and before heading to crime towards her correspondence visited another dumbass community rushing back separatist 1st took over part of the industrial region 8 years ago. now russia says it aims to take the rest mathias or it's, or a town called new york, where people have long lived 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. boris boucher

potentially perceived as a product provocation by the palestinian is the most islamist group. forgive me, i am ass, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the german government, the u. u. s. and so on. as there any real threat of a repeat of last year shelling between garza and israel and another war one in the lead up to our to with some day we seen a lot of tensions here recently. also are after the killing of a 0 journalist to read or are clear and the violence at her funeral. so there has been a lot of tension year already, but hamas and militant groups in garza have a warrant and they said, you know, we will be watching very closely. also what is happening to day during the march. also what is happening on her arm, i sharif or the temple mount the oxer moscow compound and there this morning, it's part of the whistling day. it's not just as black march, we saw
