rationality. if i spotted this around and on boss and wants to seize the whole region, the fight for eastern ukraine is intensifying. absolutely. right. but officials in the don best region, se ukrainian forces are putting up a fierce fight. the claims from both sides are difficult to verify. in an interview, the governor of the lo hunter region says russia is suffering significant losses. the reason russians are blowing up bridges is to stop our reinforcements and severe donuts. our guys are defending the whole new hunt region and the russians are afraid. our defenders will stay successful. according to information from ukraine. russia has been pushed back from moving into territory west of severe don't ask, striking a blow to russian efforts to claim the entire don best region. i see the system for

its prior to russia says its military has managed several successful attacks. julian, this footage is from the russian defense ministry, and the location cannot be verified. but russia says its course is shot down, ukrainian plain carrying weapons and munitions near the black sea port of odessa. the ministry says russian missiles also struck an artillery training center in the sumi region where foreign instructors worked. we don't have it in the capital, keith. the u. s. ambassador ukraine promised that america will assist with investigations into thousands of war crimes allegations against the russian army. i think the efforts of the prosecutor general are really important, and i do not think they should stop or be paused, just because the war continues. i think people deserve justice and they deserve justice. now, after more than 3 months of war, people who've held out for this long are still looking to leave the evacuations and

the deep sense of separation and loss that come with them or a daily reality. while ukraine says it now controls half of sovereign and ask deed of use that yon phillip shows in chief says that can't be confirmed. yes, we're 1st talked to several people on the ground in the past hours, and it's simply impossible to verify if ukraine has really regained a half of the territory in several dannetta. but what a certain is that ukrainian troops have been able to push back russian forces in many parts of the city. and this is quite remarkable because until some days ago, it seemed as if russia had taken control of almost all of the city. there were even reports that are russians had so taken full control of the cities. so this is,

probably until the weapons are ready to use. this also has to do with effect that additional technical training is needed for some of the new weapons systems. of course you, the ukrainians are trying to speed up the process. but it were, the weapons would probably arrive to late to make a difference in the current fighting. and that done by 3, john. however, everybody is getting prepared for a long war of attrition here. so the weapons could make a difference and possible upcoming counter offenses. did of your correspondence, ian philip shows in key. thank you. a heavy police presence in hong kong is preventing any public operation of the anniversary of china's tiana man square massacre. police have made several arrest authorities of pseudo victoria pac, where thousands got it annually until the genes security law band rallies last year
