skin. the russians dropped an air bomb. you cleans industrial hot land is the current focus of russia's onslaught. it's defense, a heavy responsibility for these soldiers. that doesn't 1st look at it is a very dreadful and difficult fighting mom would have 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 from one up to a great extent, the fate of our dunbar is being decided. they are now naturally done by us. 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. okay. as i am leaving though, is not easy in this city, in the net, including the residents,

are tired of spending most of their days in basement shelters. but they say they don't have an option. but mean as they do, they read for me, tell me, how should i leave my 85 year old mother who do i leave her with? she would not move out of pure norville. anyway. i know you're visiting. 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, that of so good with russia? brutal onslaught showing no signs of abating. that is a difficult question to answer. every correspond. mathias bellinger, explain the significance of sarah don't ask. well, this 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 whiskey. donnette 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 with the he is for example, which is a little bit 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. i 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 marie upa, 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 lu, hands region of those parts of the lawns, region that were 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? here 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

or for 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 fats on the ground. as a final thoughts from you when russia continues to refuse 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 grain.

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. they have also been have attempts 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 did the alternative routes, they are in place, there's great 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 are maritime routes have

been providing for before the war. daily correspondence mathias spelling of reporting from the ukrainian capital k. thank you. great for, for your reporting. and in another development, 3 foreign fighters have been sentenced to death by a court in russian controlled east and 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 ukraine has slammed the verdict saying that geneva convention prohibits prosecution as prisoners of war. or as the war has largely shifted to the east many who fled rushes invasion around the capital. keith are now going back to try and rebuild your graces. some 2000000 people have returned home in recent weeks, including to places like boucher,
