hans russian forces claimed complete control of blue haunts following weeks of relentless shelling. both lo, hunter and annette's can make up the don bass area, which has become russia's main target. the frontline has now moved further west. russia has increased attacks on the cities of slope young square on the city of slogans where missiles have destroyed homes and killed several people. in recent days. moms have also fallen on crime. a torso prompting the few remaining residents there to try to get out. but ukraine's present bologna. miss zalinski has said his forces reclaimed more than a 1000 villages, and he bowed to continue retaking lost territory. d. w corresponding mano, ashes is following developments. forrest from kia emma. good. see you again. russian and ukrainian forces. apparently preparing to take the battle to the done that's region. what are the main flashpoints likely to be there?

well, terry, that was so very much expected, as it looked more and more likely that serv, russia would install its of forces in a new hands. so de ukraine, an armed forces had been prepared, you know, to have retreated from san antonio, then to have retreated from lazy chance. they could have done so much earlier. but it seems to have been a tactic to also, you know, try to exhaust as much as possible of the russian for caesar in that area. perhaps to prepare a dis, new line of defense, which is now situated in the area between sloppy and spark, more back moved, in contrast to where we can expect again, that very fierce fighting. yesterday we've had a governor of little harm. sadly, i had a acknowledging or, you know, that little house was now under russian control, but it's, he says, this is one battle, this warmed determined, the outcome of the war momentum on the battlefield appears to be with russia for

now. emma, how is that affecting more morale, only ukrainian saw it? well, like i said, i think ukrainians, d, the expect a rush hour to make some gains in no hands. this house been an objective for moscow from the onset of the war and even more so after day failed to seize the capital here in p. if so, i think this victory or for russia doesn't necessarily ards add on to the morale or the already low morale of ukrainians when it comes to russians invading their country. i think there's also a lot of hope, a key from the ukranian side, when we look at the se, se, and the front are in the direction of harrison in the direction of michel i have where indeed ukrainian or armed forces or have her begin quite consistently. to retake villages and also a discount or offensive sees, you know,

a lot of western weapons being used to destroy, for example, a russian, i'm munition warehouses and the likes. oh so there's, there are victories. oh, so in a southern, so finding particularly, and i think that the attention of ukrainians is rather focused on top of the mountains, ukraine's president zalinski. he spoke to ukraine, ukrainians, telling him about the need to prepare for winter. what have you had to say, emma? about the way the war is proceeding. when yesterday, val on him is a lensky ukrainians. president really focused on the, on the years after the war. he, of course pledged for reconstruction of ukraine. that's who said, this would not only mean the reconstruction of walls, the reconstruction of everything that has been destroyed. he is a place that ukraine would become the free is european country, delivering been

a message of how to people who very much also need out at a time where, you know, everybody has gone really wary of that situation. this millions of people who are no longer living in their homes who are separated from their loved ones. so those addresses by president zaleski are so meant to be a moral booster for millions of ukrainian living. today's, for a thank you very much. the w as in manuel shaws their reporting from kia now ukraine and russia recently carried out their largest prisoner swapped since the war began, exchanging a $144.00 soldiers each. both countries insist they are treating prisoners of war according to international agreements, but the united nations has called for investigations into torture allegations on both sides. the w was the pers media outlet to be given access to a ukrainian pre trial detention center. a reporter on

a field spoke to rush impure w's in the presence of ukrainian soldiers. the identities of the prisoners were kept anonymous. russian prisoners of war, a kept on a separate floor at this ukrainian prison. the gods say it to protect them from the other prisoners. many of the russians here openly critical about the war which the kremlin calls a special military operation. the ukrainian prison gods at present during most about interviews, but they keep their distance. the russians say they had no idea what they were getting into. don to your school. we weren't told where we were going. we only found out we're in ukraine when we saw the license plates and flags. when i asked my commander, what are we doing here? i was told don't ask unnecessary questions, keep driving. that was all, many of the prisoners here talk about how russian state television to picks the war as a fight against ukrainian fascists. landry multiple, but on t v in russia,

they idealize it. they say that we're going to fight for the right thing we're doing, but it's all not true. my eyes were only opened when i got to ukraine, sen, mr. from romper clinic. the little clinicals over. well, i was captured by the as of battalion be even there, i didn't see any fascists or them. they fed us or gave us cigarettes. they even asked him, so do you see any fashion? hey, like on t v. i feel bitterly disappointed in the russian government and in the people who supported on order for total for lyrical oh, it's time for lunch. ukrainian detainees, do shout the food to the russians. the schedule here is precise, the russian prisoners of war a given 3 meals a day and allowed daily walks and showers. and they're allowed to raid. we aren't told how many russians are being held here, but they seem to be around 50. the prison as we speak to say they're

satisfied with their treatment gravity, like what has become in every day and asked if we need anything or want anything if they're able to provide it they do. whose voice you the meals a balanced mainly. it's porridge and meet so we will lose the christmas. the ukrainian government has talked about the importance of treating russian prisoners of more humanely showing their treatment of publicly may be one of the reasons why way given permission to film here. but both russia and ukraine have accused each other of torturing captured servicemen, and according to the un, ukraine's track record isn't spotless when it comes to prisoners of war. unfortunately, we do have information but particularly on capture as they are at risk of ill treatment or torture. i can be subjected to beatings and generally difficult conditions on upon capture what they are

transferred to the pre trial detention centers and see those. we understand that the information that we have is that they are treated without consent in terms of treatment captured enemy soldiers, a valuable currency for both warring parties. the russian soldiers being held at these detention center can be exchanged for ukrainians if they aren't tried for war . crimes, the prisoners here harp, that means they would just have to sit tight and wait. in the united states, independence day celebrations were marred by mass shootings which left a mass shooting which left 6 people dead and 30 injured in the chicago, a suburb of highland park. a gunman opened fire from a roof top striking crowds gathered for a 4th of july parade. after hours of uncertainty, police have detained a 22 year old suspect. it was supposed to be a day of celebration of fun with friends and family. instead,
