but has dismissed any suggestion of negotiations. i a mother reunited with her son. he had been fighting in the ukrainian army for days in the hockey vision until his unit liberated his home village. oh, my son, ethan waiting for you, have kept all your things, everything. they set their minds in the apartment. most of them are you looking good. as always, i missed his so much ukrainian soldiers follow a trail of destruction. as they pressed that aback. the russians are in a headlong retreat, shedding that equipment as the fallback. visually there were running like mice, they were running and abandoning everything vehicles the wrong man. they even abandoned one of their rhone,

who was wounded just to get away. the kremlin denies reports that the military said backs, atoning people against president vladimir putin. christianity. but usually russian support the precedent here in the mood of the people confirms this of credit union are the people stand firmly behind the decisions made by the head of states to burst. but as ukraine continues to rolled by gains made by russian forces early in the war drunk, so could you not buddhist decision to invade ukraine through them? i could come back to haunt him. no, i was look at that. so i have these ukranian counter offensive been so successful with that question to mike martin, a war said his fellow at king's college london. yeah, it's, you know, all war is psychological. so your emotions can turn from exhilaration to fear immediately. and that's effectively what happened because the russians had sinned out, taken lots of troops in the northeast and taken them down to her. so that meant that

the ukrainians were able to punch through the russian lines. and once they've done that, they were able to track chap pockets and russian soldiers destroy their logistics. when that started happening, all sort of snowballing russians started running away, surrendering, disappearing over the border. and that fear is contagious. and once an army starts collapsing, it's very hard to get it back on it's feet. and the russian defense ministry is coming under fire at home. even pro war pundits and politicians have taken to tv and social media to criticize the handling of the operation. and the growing number of military setbacks, the war is increasingly looking like a losing battle. recent fighting in ukraine is some of the toughest the russian army has seen so far, according to pro kremlin media. and recent setbacks have sport new discussions in moscow called for a general mobilization or getting louder on the platoon skirt bureau,

the military political operation against the nazis and fascist in ukraine has turned into a full fledged war. warren special operations differ radically. so a special military operation can just be ended, but you can't just stop war even if you want to go, you have to go all the way to georgia. war only has 2 outcomes here. i the victory or defeat the did it. but over the kremlin was quick to respond to any demands for a full mobilization. it would mean mandatory military service that would draw many more ordinary russian families into the war. president vladimir putin spokesman. dmitri pet scoff insists that such a step is not on the agenda. but moscow knows that dissatisfaction with the war is growing and though stirrings of discontent are even finding their way on to state control, television broadcasts more of it. but we have to admit that we've suffered a defeat in and around her cave. but we do,
