a russian forces have now entered the city of c of yellow, the net scarf, the days of intense shelling. the eastern city has become the focus of moscow's pushed to capture all of the don bus region. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, said russian bombs had destroyed almost all the city's critical infrastructure and damaged most buildings. meanwhile, on sunday, zalinski made his 1st official visit outside of the capital to meet troops on the front line near. hark, if assessing the damage with his own eyes, ukraine's president visited the war ravaged region of ha keith. ukraine has pushed back the russian offensive here, leaving behind ruins in his 1st official trip out of keith since the russian invasion. zalinski also met troops have been fighting on the front lines wrong. what i want to thank each of you for your service. you risk your life for all of us

and for our state. thank you for defending the independence of our country. it will take care of yourselves glory to ukraine. so, so lensky says, ukraine is doing everything to defend the country's east, where russia is focusing its assault. russia aims to capture the entire don bass region, calling at an unconditional priority for the kremlin. the fighting has made evacuating besieged towns across don bass, dangerous, but aid groups are working to bring the seek and injured out. in google. oh, most of them of wounded people who ah, have a great and the from the hospitals. in eastern regions, the tumult safe and and more and to be of upgrade them to the hospitals in western grain than we've had no pill and a song to but that of them and to give them proper medical care. in savannah,

donetta, shelling has destroyed old, critical infrastructure, and russian troops are now storming the largest city still held by keep in the loo . hunt's great in of don bass. thousands of civilians are believed to still be in the city. the governor of lou, hans said the constant shelling makes it impossible to count casualties. did have you corresponding to her rebecca writ as is in chief. and earlier i asked her whether ukrainian forces are able to keep up moral in the face of be continued to russian aggression. well, on a whole, yes, i think across the country civilians and in the military and morale is strong. and i think ukraine still believes that it can win this battle, but, but at the moment is a bit of a law because, you know, russia really are taking the upper hand in the battle for don bass is it's been dubbed, we've known for a few days now that they've had that upper hand, that they now have 95 percent of the hans region, that's half of the don bass and they are pushing forward the fighting now in

several donates the last ukrainian st stronghold. the last ukranian city in that area fighting is now st by street, and we're seeing about $200.00 shells an hour. so they've even stopped counting the casualties in that city. and in that region at the moment, get hundreds of really dire situation down there. of course, again level reiterating that they're trying to liberate that region, but it's hard to see how the people down there who are living through this hell will be feeling very liberated at the moment. now you current it probably has lost a counter offensive in the south towards the occupied city of care. so what can you tell us about that? her son was one of the 1st areas, 1st cities to fall to russia. it was taken quite quickly at the beginning, at people there have been living under occupation since almost the beginning of the conflict. and now you're seeing a counter offensive find ukraine. that's also, you know, obviously to try and re take the territory but also to try and thin out resources

on the russian side. tron finn out there troops and trying to pull direction away from the dumbass a little bit as well. so that has taken place over the weekend and they will have coffee attempting to try and re take that area. that's something that presidents zalinski has reiterated time. and again, he said, you know, wanting russia not to get too cozy in the places that they have taken, that, that ukraine plans on taking everything that has been taken since the beginning of this conflict back. and that certainly what they're attempting in her son zalinski and i've interviewed sunday. her said the duration of the war party depends on support from the west. is you crime? getting the help with needs i think he's been even stronger than that in the past. i think it depends very much on the west, and particularly of course, the weapons coming from the west. they've been calling, jumping up and down, really insisting that the international community support are more if they are to

in the whole the russians will push them back. that they've seen a slowing down of the, of the kind of weapons that they were seeing coming into the country and that they desperately need them. and they are completely outweighed in the dorm bass. when it comes to heavy weapons, they really need those multi rocket launchers that can, that can go to distances of 2 or 300 kilometers in, in, in the distance. that's the kind of weaponry they need, that they don't have that the russians do have. and that the russians are using to completely annihilate those areas. and when control, i mean it's not being one sort of in a traditional on the battlefield style. it's really being one by and by the russian using this heavy weaponry to pommel and completely destroy these areas. so you kind saying without them, we're just not going to be able to stop the, the, the, the sheer force coming from the other side. that's rebecca with us in there for us . thank you. i'm joined by military analyst, frank leverage, frank, russian artillery, relentlessly,

pounding. if you don't. that's why our russian forces now focusing on the city and get out. they belong to the city for 8 years or so. since the start of that, so the 1st phase of the overall campaign of 2014, unless it was a major battle around that. and it's a continuation, i suppose of those efforts. also, there is an, it's a major time. don't forget this chunks called mr. jones, which is right next door, is probably the next target. what's interesting with respect to the previous report in the likelihood or the possibility of rush actually taking this is that your credit is not necessarily bad news. you credit this entirely. it does seem that they're not focusing on, this is a last stand. what they're doing, rather than simply looks to me anyway, if they withdraw the bulk of their forces. so it's not to be surrounding the colon . so, so those are that, you know, to be candid,

i'd rather thought it might be something for to city, but rather sensitive, you kind of drawing from looking like they're willing to give it up without a sort of decisive fight that we'll see. but that's how it looks to me. if i do you think that russia then is going to achieve its goal of capturing the whole don bus region quite quickly? no, i don't think they are. they say this is the point of a salient severity that's gets the town i think none of us expected it not to be surrounded. what you might expect to find is mike mike to hold it a bit longer than a yet. but there's a lot more to go. we have the towns of chronicles with russians are still trying to push the issue to the northwest. this campaign has been discussed at the end of the beginning for the don't bass couldn't pay the respect to the russian. so it does seem as if they are looking for their objective is to take the bus and we'll see if they leave a lot of set on. on friday i think that the bus was the unconditional priority. so

rushes fixed its objectives. and as you know, way back in march, that was what was explicitly said we focusing down because we diverted the change up to the north of that nonsense where they were defeated in care. and we're going to focus on don bass and is that it does seem to be what they're doing. now. do you see any progress for the ukrainian elsewhere in the country? i think in the medium term what you train will be focusing on doing. we do see that as you've heard before, that in the south west, they may be looking at. i mean, this is a bit of a left field thing, but left maybe looking at a strike on denying a desk to the ukrainians in some way. nato's already mulling, i think, convoy in conflict vessels in and out there. the russians want that. they want to see you claim is a failed state. and the one way to do that is to seal them off from c. so i think we may see some pushes that way, not the next few weeks,

but certainly later this year. i think. now let's talk about heavy weapons a bit more because it's kind of dominates the political agenda in many western countries. ukraine still pleading for more heavy weapons from the west. how fast do they need to get there to actually make a difference? yesterday would be the answer to that if one was being facetious or indeed accurate . the attorney that is received already is filtering through the cruiser. being trained, the pentagon reported over the weekend, probably 90 percent of maybe the crews have been trained, but look, it's a drop in the ocean. what they need to report that focused on a teller, on the artillery strikes and russia, majors artillery, what you can use it as knockout artillery and deny rush to supply lines. let's your porter quite rightly said they need heavy weapons. high mass for example, m r s. mostly large rocket systems as well as better of the aircraft systems

because that's not to get the russian air force is still a going concern. so they need that stuff. they need a lot of it and they will need it over the summer without delay or prevarication, or they stand to lose the land. never again it well, it's around. i was trying to leverage that tokens us from oxford in the u. k. thank you, frank. fears of russian aggression are spreading beyond ukraine to the united states, where there is a boom and demand for private bunkers, who w's in. this port has visited one of the largest bunk of factories in the us, which is shining out luxury shelters to those who can afford them. he turned on the news, he say, north korea, talking about nukes, you say russia talking about nukes, you see china talking about news. i've never seen so many people talking about nuclear weapons in my lifetime. and it's scary. and that drives people to buy bunkers. ron hubbard owns one of the biggest spunk of building companies in the u.

s. he founded atlas so vital shelter. 11 years ago. the factories based just one hour drive out of dallas, texas. these bunkers are not cheap. they average anywhere from $40000.00 to a $1000000.00. everybody's on board. no one thinks anybody's crazy for buying. i'm shelters now. we have a good business right now in ukraine and poland because war is going on there. i have several ukrainian customer, southern wealthy people in ukraine. they want to get a bunker as soon as they can like mediately. we'll go on this one. this is a standard 10 food by 40 food bunker, starting at $200000.00. this is the new american trend. i sell millions of dollars of these every week. it's got a regular flushing toilet van at 8 granite counters. it's beautiful sliding doors. it has the under floor stored care. so the evil and all this down here is storage

and there's also water tanks that are built in. so he can keep on as soon supplies down here. and then of course the most important thing, the air would run through this carbon filter with the hepa filter in it, it would give you breathe malware. and when this is furnished and everything's going, is still like you're in an apartment or flash. demand is not only growing in eastern europe, it's also exploding in the us even though ukraine is far away. hubbard ceased the reason behind that in the fear oboe violence in the country struggling with extreme inequality and polarization, were more worried about other americans been hungry and star, being and looting. and robin baths are immediate concerns. so people want a place where they can take their family, keep and comfortable, safe and underground, different budgets and who can actually afford that exclusive type of safety tv will

be there. okay, and you're thinking, what about the regular people it's, it's unfortunate, but it's not fair, but the, the least, the wealthy, get to live a better life than the rest of us did abuse. ines poor, bad reporting from texas and others have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. germany's major parties have agreed to increase defense funding, the response to russia's invasion of ukraine and february chancellor. all of shaw said he wanted a 100000000000 euros to better equipped germany's armed forces, which have suffered from a lack of investment. the new deal gets around strict budget rules and also helps to meet natal spending goals. gleason colombo have used tear gas and water common to on students trying to storm a home of sri lanka, president for testers,

more hunger math or, or we can change colombia, columbia federal is a former member of the em 19 gorilla movement. and the former mayor of bogo and his presidential campaign, he has vowed profoundly economic and social change. a petro presidency would be historic, in more ways than one. his running made francy marquez is hoping to become columbia's 1st ever black female vice president. but the come in for us is a black community. it is a great recognition to be a black person. there people have always been enslaved. we have always been at the bottom and to have the opportunity to be there and represent us as black people fill us with pride federal coalition,

feedback or something that could bring peace to the country then of fighting poverty on relaunching economy. as the whole world, most of the war lobby has been hit very hard by the pandemic, and now by the consequences of the war on ukraine. so economies also a very important issue that columbus are raising. that was one of the mayor topics that during the election campaign classes broke out in jerusalem off the 10s of thousands of his railings march through the cities muslim court of many waving national flights of chanting anti arab slogans. the mostly orthodox marches were taking part in the annual annual jerusalem day parade is re to police fives, chiggers and rubber bullets. ask for las tinian protesters. nationalist israelis stage an annual flag march through the damascus gate. and the muslim barrier of jerusalem to the whaling wool the parade celebrates israel's capture in 1967 of
