i've been pushed to the margins under the taliban. but now some hope to turn a new page. open the library just forward. ah, i'm glad else has a woke up to the program calls from around the world for russia to end its war, went unanswered on ukraine's independence day. at least 25 people were killed and dozens injured in a russian attack on an eastern ukrainian town. ukrainian officials say russia launched shells that hit homes and set a passenger train on fire. and chap lena, the attack came 6 months to the day after russia invaded it's neighbor room. this is what ukrainians had feared for days. i rush an attack on civilian infrastructure on the 6 month anniversary of its

invasion with the small town of chapel lena in easton, ukraine was shalt twice who this man found his son's body off at the blast. his decision that he was in the house and he was thrown out of there and we looked for him and he was lying here. nobody knew that he was here was we're in new york. there was no sound. was nothing at all, was heard. one, just an explosion, a blast. and then the fire started this chest. walt authority says several people were born in a car. as the un security council met to mark 6 months of the ukraine war, president zalinski addressed the session to tell the world about the latest russian at actually near 400 despite moscow's attempt to block his appearance at wanting to

rescuers or working. but unfortunately, the death toll could increase that at our russia prepared for this session. thing out of basil but with the debts rising every day. there appears little hope for the war 2 and any time soon. while the w corresponded roman gone to rank her now joins may from the ukrainian capital key of rama. what more can you tell us about that? most recent missiles strike the well, at this point, the search and rescue operations are over, according to the ukranian officials has been the deadliest attack in ukraine on independence day 25 people died. 2 boys among them 11 and 6 years old and one boy was killed in his home. his house and the other one in was killed in a car, probably with his family. there were a few 5 people killed in that crowd. we just driving by that railway station, a lot of people died in the passenger train so it's, it's very tragic

a day for that region for crime as well because of this attack. but this is something that you crank and authorities have been warning about the whole week. now as you say, your grades have been warned about possible brutal attacks like this one, do ukrainians expect this intensity to continue? well there is a big difference between the day of independence and the next day or so. in key of alone, we stopped counting the air raids after 8 or 9. there was a 190 air raid sirens in the whole of ukraine on the independence day. it's much less than the day after and her. but on the other hand, as of just said, the authorities want ukrainians, that this whole week is dangerous and a big air strikes are possible. so am until the end of the week. and so i, i guess the situation will be very tense and will remain tense and also in the

capital kia. now in recent weeks, one of the major concerns was the safety of the nuclear power plant ends up or is your, what's the latest from there? well, the situation remains very volatile and tense. there were no reports about shillings from the ukrainian side. the russian side is claiming that the ukrainian sir shall be station. we cannot verify that from here and keith. so the station remains the power station, the biggest in europe, remains under russian control and the control of the russian military. and the biggest question, the biggest issue is whether there could be an international control nation to that station. a lead by the international atomic energy agency i. e, i, a, we had some telephone calls between france, present, micron and russian peasant hootin. and according to the french president, putin agreed to let international delegation via the u. n. delegation. we have the

un secretary general retailer saying that he is ready and his organization is ready to support such a mission. but there is, there is a problem here and the problem is how could such a mission go. busy there over russia control territory or ukrainian control territory you can in president zalinski has said that ukraine is ready to assist such admission, but the experts should go over ukrainian territory and just to the frontline. and if they should take the route for through the annex crimea, for example, then this would mean an end of cooperation between ukraine and the i e. a. so it's a very sensitive issue and it is still unclear how and when such a mission can take place. the ws roman contra banker in care of their thank you very much. rahman as a war, ukraine has also served as a wake up call across europe regarding the threats posed by russia is given the

nato military alliance, not 30 countries, including the u. s. and most of europe, as well as turkey, a new sense of purpose, something many felt had been lacking in nato in recent years. with in just a few months of the invasion, finland and sweden also announced their intentions to seek nato membership of the decades of neutrality. division of finland is especially relevant. it means that nature will have a much larger border with russia. and as the alliance has started upgrading as rapid response force in europe from about 40000 before the war to over 300008 is also bumped up its forces in countries at europe's eastern border from romania and her vog area in the south to latvia. and lithuania, up there in the north, and for more we can now cross to brussels, where nato is headquartered. and as it happens, terry shoals are corresponded there is standing by terry. i'm at the start of that

war. we saw natal more united than ever. is that still the case? that's right, gearhart in, in many ways as, as horrible as it sounds to say this conflict between russia and ukraine has galvanized nato in a way we've never seen before. as you mentioned, it has beefed up its defenses along the eastern border for the 1st time ever. it activated its rapid response force, and countries have pledged hundreds of thousands more troops to that force as well as resources to have at the ready nato as completely reconfigured itself so that it could move much more quickly. should russia dare to step into nato territory, and exactly as russia did not want nato has now determined that it will keep many of these resources and troops in these places, long term, perhaps even permanently, to defend against whatever russia may have in store. now that moscow has turned out to be so unpredictable and so brutal. now the head of natal. yes. stoughton back

told ukraine, it could rely on nato. nate to support for quote, as long as it takes, but how long member says realistically, keep up public support in their own countries. this is a big question. nan, of course, is being watched in every capital but a very closely in keith as well with ukranian officials warning or warning daily that in europe i cannot experience fatigue that the united states must keep up his support. and in fact, that is more difficult to say as gas prices rise as citizens start looking at where the money is going and wondering if, if military support for ukraine is in their interest. and in fact, there was some concern in july as european governments did not make any new military commitments of equipment. some of the other stories making headlines today . taiwan has proposed a $19000000000.00 hike in defense spending after china's stage, its largest ever military drills around the island. the funds would boost,
