fighting is taking a heavy toll on surveillance in the distance, the sound of russian shelling for the people in missy chance the twin city of seattle, john, yet the chance to escape is getting smaller and smaller ukrainian police officers drive from house to house to find those who want to leave, but for many here it feels like they're giving up their town. if you will surely show them that your partner, we weren't sure until it became unbearable. then i got sick. she has an endless list of illnesses and i'm also sick to put away the head brush over if there was a hospital here where i would have stayed here until the very last moment. she due only a few kilometers away and severe done yet, leaving has become nearly impossible. with all the main bridges destroyed, the city is now cut off. ukraine says more than $500.00 civilians,

a hiding inside the assault chemical factory alongside ukrainian soldiers. moscow announced a humanitarian corridor for the civilians, but then claimed ukrainian shelling disrupted the plan with moscow having more man, power, and weapons. it's becoming increasingly difficult for the ukrainians to hold their few remaining positions in the city. a ration deadline for the forces in the chemical plant to surrender has passed, form a ukrainian president polish ankle told the w. ukraine will not given. situation is extremely difficult and the concentration of troops there is enormous. but our heroic soldiers is keeping said it had been yet squee, keeping their asoft or not those or what the result chemical plan. and we never surrender away from the dumbass. russian forces have been aiming for

other high value targets. this foot is shared by the russian military claims to show high precision low range missiles, targeting a depot in the western living region where ammunition for nature supplied weapons. a stuart if to it could be rash as latest effort to disrupt the international supply of weapons. ukrainian president fellow to mister lensky, his welcome to pledge by washington to provide an additional $1000000000.00 in military out to ukraine. it's the largest package since rushes invasion began. speaking in brussels, us secretary of defense, lloyd austin, called on other countries to also step up support. austin says the war has reached a pivotal moment. permitting includes nato members, as well as dozens of additional countries known as the ukrainian defense contact group is the us defense secretary, boyd,

austin. so the contact route 1st came together nearly 3 months ago. we broke tremendous momentum for donations and delivery of notary assistance. and after this, this afternoon's discussions were not just going to maintain that momentum. we're going to move even faster and push even harder. will deepen our coordination and cooperation and will book bolster ukraine's armed forces to help them repel russian aggression. mel and in future. mark montgomery is a military expert with the foundation for defense of democracies who served in the u. s. navy for more than 30 years, and helped to build us ukrainian military relations. welcome to you, mark. i wonder what will this lightest pledge of weapons allow ukrainian forces to do on the battlefield that they are currently able to do well, 1st, thank you for having me and i, you know, that is the big question. and i would say it's really more about maintaining their

ability to do what they, what they can do right now. which is you have to have these replenishment packages flowing every few weeks. if you cranes it, if you crating to succeed in and preventing further russia, russian encroachment in the dom boss region, they're burning through artillery very rapidly. and they need these replenishment packages, not just from the u. s. from the rest of our european allies and partners in the contract. is there a chance that this war will be decided by the outcome of battles mark, or is it going to come down if you my suggest they're down to who runs out of money 1st? well, you're exactly right, this is a grinding campaign. so i don't think this is about some, you know, my, you know, some military flare maneuver that settles things rapidly, but it's about who can maintain their resilience, russia, or ukraine and it's european american allies. and so, you know,

this kind of slug fest requires this constant replenishment. and like i said, every 2 or 3 weeks with these were, these are totally route. what we're transferring here is only 36000 rounds. they're expanding 5000 rounds a day. so this is 7 days of artillery rounds being transferred in this package. it's an incredible stat, just just a week's with a supplies, if you like it. is there a risk with that in mind that this help as significant as it sounds has just come to light? i think it's, it's a question of persistence will the u. s. and it's a european allies show the same resilience, the ukrainian people and their army are showing on the battle for we continue to provide these packages every few weeks. you know, every 2 weeks from united states, every 2 weeks from europe to bring artillery rounds, the rocket rounds that are also clued in this package. but also vehicles are chill

re vehicles. there's 18 in this package, but we need other ones from our european partners. and then rocket launching systems where european partners as well. u. s. army chief stuff mac mili spoke today. mike saying he thought russia lost somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of the ahmed force. do you believe that to be true and does that offer hope? if so figure crime in a war of attrition. first i do believe it's true and i believe you could even caveat that with it. some of their, their better equipment that was more likely than not able to operate. in other words, some of their 100 percent of equipment is equipment that just doesn't get out of the hangar or the garage. and so i really think they've lost a significant, we're fighting capacity in this, in this $300.00 plus days, a combat so far. and if they try to grind it out over the summer in eastern crane, they're going to lose another 20 to 30 percent military expert. my montgomery,

thanks so much for your time. thank you. well, ukrainian forces had managed to push back russian troops from several areas in places like boca p and and book yucca evidence of atrocities had been found authorities and now investigating either 15000 suspected cases of war crimes, tuscan, it is a town in the north and ukraine that spent a month on the russian occupation data. please. rebecca with us went there and spoke to residents who shade harrowing stories the trust and yet train station, or what's left of it for more than a month, russian troops used it as their headquarters. it was from here, alexander tells me that they carried out some of their crimes. whenever the wall is here, the russians were based right there where we're going a bomb shelter. that's where we're going for the mood them. on like sander, an auto mechanic says the russians came in the night and pulled him straight out of

to alexander and his fellow captives. these alleged war crimes. they happened here under ground, when no one could hear their cries or the blows of the russian soldiers. but not all the crimes that took place in this city happened under ground. some happened right up here in broad daylight. the laws of war prohibit attacks on civilians and torture as well as attacks on hospitals. so there, there was a direct hit from a tank. they were position there and they were shooting at us, not billable, and our shifts over the hospitals. director says the russians knew what they were doing. roughly my of the early for ya thing. we have no explanation of it. i see that there was a big hospital sign. we had a big white flag with a red cross really felt, but it would, it didn't matter to them at all. no millennia was nudging, her doctor shifts over, says the 2 nights before the russians left trust units were the worst. the hospital
