ukraine's president villamor zalinski says the outcome of this fight could determine the fate of the critical dom past region. the shelling is relentless in the dawn bass. ukrainian soldiers assess the damage available. it was an air bomb student. the russians dropped an air bomb ukraine's industrial hot land is the current focus of fresh as onslaught. it's defense, a heavy responsibility for these soldiers to georgia. first look of it is a very dreadful and difficult fighting mama had no haps is one of the most difficult battles during this war. even yet, i am thankful to each and every one who is defending this region and will not. to a great extent, the fate of our dunbar is being decided. they are now naturally done boss. and for some soldiers do are frustrated by the presence of the civilians who refused to leave the english. we are to be able to do our job as fighters, michael,

but instead we're having to make sure civilians don't get killed. that's how we lose battles. aside leaving though is not easy in this city. indo natalie residents are tired of spending most of their days in basement shelters, but they say they don't have an option by me now. where do they wait for me? tell me, how should i leave my 85 year old mother who do i leave her with? she would not move out, appeal nobility. we know you'll be a thing that we live here that we were born here. i've just been to see my garden and my home and then is it going to end my live sugar? this are good to live with rushes, brutal, onslaught showing no signs of abating. that is a difficult question to answer. so i is samaritan asked,

so significant i put that very question to deal with correspondence, but he has bellinger. well, the city does not have a strategic importance in the way that it would open a vast opportunities. but of course, russia needs to control it. if it wants to control the whole of don bass, it's the last or a city, the last patch of land on that side of the sea. whisky done f river, which russia has so far, had very big difficulties to cross. and at least it would allow russia to concentrate its forces on crossing the river at the moment, of course, meant russia is assaulting the city with a lot of power, a lot of firepower, but also a lot of manpower. and as long as this manpower is busy fighting in this city, it would be very difficult for them to advance in other places to have been some advances in other places as well. in the us with the he is for example, which is

a little bit up upstream at the same river. but sir, so far this seems to be there, the barrier that they need to get over if they want to or want to advance for it. ukraine, of course, it is an important way to keep russian forces engaged in that city. it's important to hold that city as it was already with maribelle, which was and circled at the time. because of this, russia cannot re deploy these troops. and it's also important because it used to be the administrative capital of the law hands, grecian of those parts of the lawns, region that we're under ukrainian control. and as much as things are going well, either a for keith and, and with regards to the southern region of her son, a russia point, a leader there is said that you have claimed that the integration of her son into russia has begun. what exactly does he mean by that? yeah, we've been hearing this kind of news for service for some time,

so they're forcing businesses to use rubles, instead of leaving as the russian currency instead of the ukranian currency is one of the things the authorities have been done. they have been doing, they have been trying to do there. we don't know all the details, of course. another one is to hand out russian passports or in the neighboring city of my milly topple. we've heard that the 1st russian passports are going to be ready soon. um and then basically putting pressure on the people to accept those russian passports to renounce their ukrainian citizenship. of course, the plan of russia is to k a. to create facts on the ground that will make it more difficult, or chew it for ukraine to gain back these areas. not only militarily, but russia is also trying to create some kind of a, of a judicial legitimacy for these reasons being russian. this will not be recognized either by ukraine or by most western countries. but out from the russian

perspective, it seems to be some kind of a way to create facts on the ground. as a final thoughts from you when russia continues to refused on the international stage to accept responsibility for a c blockade of ukrainian grain can, you can find an alternative route out for these large volumes of gray. well, that's exactly the problem why we have been talking about these grain blockades, these port blockades for so long. there is no i alternative route that would be allow ukraine to export as many tons as they have been exporting before. and they have, of course, been alternatives to have also been an attempt to create alternatives. a lot more grain is being shipped by tre, now, or by truck on the road. but the roads and trains can not carry the same amount as a big ship. and that's the problem. now the, the,

the alternative routes they are in place, there's grain ship to romania and then by train brought to romania by train and then shipped out of romanian ports. there's grain being brought to europe on trucks and trains. but none of this is enough to compensate for what these married cim routes have been providing for before the war. they have a correspondence, mateus spending a reporting from the ukrainian capital k. thank you. great for, for your reporting. 3 foreign fighters have been sentenced to death by a court in russian control the eastern ukraine. the 2 british men and american were captured by russian forces while fighting with ukrainian troops. after a 3 day trial, the trio were convicted of acting as mercenaries, as well as other alleged crimes. the you k slam the verdict saying the geneva convention prohibits prosecution of prisoners of war.
