where we've had reports of troops fighting straight by street. he craned admits its forces are out numbered, but says it won't give up territory to russia. is inflicting maximum damage. that is the goal for moscow which released this footage of the pallets was at work across few cranes, east. the destruction is evident. many of those who the mean have lost everything from viet miss. oh, i do not even know where to start for you. i am standing here and looking, but i have no idea what to do with my blood. i started crying, do i come down and then i try again. and again,

the focus now is on the city of 7, o dot net, which could be key to gain control of the don bass. ukraine says it's troops out numbered, but holding strong. now she's away. and as the youth was, our heroes are not giving up their positions in severe ordones. woolley fierce street fights continue in the city. and i'm a guy, the russian army is trying to deploy additional forces in the danverse direction. but it's the 103rd day you and the ukranian done but stand say it stands firmly meets the cost of that resistance has been high even as russia threatens dire consequences to more help from the west. ukraine says that for its embattled troops, more rapid would be the difference between life and death. men time, millions of tons of gray now piling up in southern ukraine,

they need of informing will refineries forming oil storage units and roads. and i think now that russia is nursing, this is a topic that is getting a lot of traction internationally. also in countries in african to believe that traditionally are a lot more sympathetic to russian narrative than is the case in europe and north america. and seeing that concern, then i'll try to play the game based again on ukraine that has very little reason to trust. russian guarantees that if it takes the minds away from addresses coastline to protecting a data from rational ration right now, that, that will be respected in that it won't be used by russia to come here to the us or invade the city. nick connelly then will in her 1st public comments since leaving office last year. former german chancellor angela medical has defended her policy towards russia during her 16 years in leadership. she called the war in ukraine a huge tragedy. but while defending her legacy, she admits questioning herself if she could have done more to prevent cruising from inviting ukraine an evening with angela merkel at the berliner ensemble theater.
