an already scary situation has just become terrifying. with heavy fighting still going on on the cities outskirts, thrush them? both the said, just scared. which i just want to live and i'm scared for my child. could be ask was under russian occupation for months. it is all in manila taught us . moment was when they didn't let us use the internet or contact anyone. they said it's because of people like you, our soldiers and our vehicles get targeted, verifying reports from the battlefield. is almost impossible, but ukraine's military says it's crossed the oscar river, which runs through to be honest, and is now continuing its advance east. he cranes, president says his forces are solidifying their control of the newly recaptured regions, but of august in hockey, if we are stabilizing the situation,

we firmly holding our positions with so strong that the occupiers are really panicking. we warned the russian soldiers in ukraine they had only to auctions to flee or surrender. meanwhile, there are reports of ukrainian shelling for the east in separatist held regions. authorities in the separatist controlled city of den etzky se 13 people died after a ukrainian missile strike. there they accuse keith of deliberately targeting civilians. this came as cave accused moscow of deliberately dropping missiles near a nuclear power plant in ukraine. southern michel, i've region missiles, fell just some 300 meters away from the palace station. the country 2nd largest. the 3 reactors were not damaged, but the incident has stopped fears that the war could lead to a new killer disaster. following the success of ukraine's counter offensive in the

east rushes vladimir putin has promised to step up a tax on ukrainian infrastructure, endangering the lives of civilians across the country. d, w isn't it commonly isn't high k, then he gave us this update on the fi thing in ukraine's east for i get that you might be hearing you crazy national and from the background there that something that is part of everyday life here every morning at 9 local time as society. well, even hearing have keep you on not totally removed from this. there are lots of arid warnings. lots of missile strikes pretty much every day. so, you know, if you're really following those warnings or in the cellar in your place of safety a couple times every night, further away from here to woods where most of those fighting that fighting is still going on. we are seeing the cranes making slow but steady progress. nothing on the scale and the speed of what happened in previous weeks, but they are pushing back russian forces in the northern part of dumbass, which is a lot far away from here because they basically cut off the russians from their

supply lines. they cut off their logistics hubs, them and it seems like they are now moving the direction of silicon is that with the city that russia took at the cost of thousands of lives and a huge amount of material in the middle of the summer time. and in kind of for the south towards done yet. so we've seen the, the russians trying to advance, trying to push up against positions whether ukraine's had been says, 2014, lots of outside observer saying it's pretty much pointless, given that these up some of the best defended bits of the front lines. so we're seeing active fighting, but nothing of the kind of intensity and speed that we saw. and prior to this, okay, say the ukrainian military has regained ground really quite quickly in this latest offensive is slowing down now. but how difficult will it be and to hold on to best regain territory? well, some of it is hot up against the russian border. so in theory, if the russians did have the results, it did have the to kind of personnel to reinforce their force, their, their, their groups here, they could attack just directly from their own territory. so in

a sense, that's easier. and he said that ukraine has shown all along that is very good at defending. that's basically what they've been doing since the beginning of this conflict with russian 2014. and they also have the superior motivation is as big problems among the russian forces among people who basically don't know why they're fighting. don't feel any particular connection to this campaign loss. people have been forced to fight, have been recruited in place like lots, convenience, others who've been lured in with high salaries. they are not often actually getting paid out in full. so since that, that isn't the bigger problem, the bigger problem is actually now going to be just preparing for the winter and getting ukraine's army ready for fighting 30 different conditions. we know that missiles have fallen ne ukraine, 2nd to elijah nuclear facility, close to nikolai of how worried are authorities there about what's happened? well, definitely this is very scary. couple 100 meters only dividing that missile strike from the main power station. this after seen weeks of tensions and of fighting around the other big power station. the south you ukraine is a put asia. i think this is about 2 things. on the one hand,

this is about upping the stakes and scaring people in europe who've been supporting ukraine. that russia is really willing to go all out and to risk these kind of catastrophic events to really put pressure on european back as of ukraine to kind of force you claim back to the negotiating table at moscow's conditions. but this is also about civilian infrastructure. people here in ukraine could be facing a very cold, very uncomfortable winter. and if they lose these power pounds, they have to be shut down. it's all going to be a lot more difficult. so far ukraine has done a pretty amazing job, but recovering and of kind of rebuilding stuff after damage. but if you're to shoot power stations along with all kinds of other infrastructure are out of a kind of out of work out of her normal routine functioning. then this is going to be stressful. a lot of people may be who want to come back to deliberate spots. you plan what be able to possess, no, it normal. 70 like possible. thanks so much, nick. that's nick connelly, reporting from hockey. let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. protests broken out
