friday. in crane's presence, zalinski condemned the illegal annexation and vowed to keep fighting to regain laws territory. my mother, we have achieved a significant results in the east of our country. there is already enough information out there about this. everyone has heard about what is happening in the man in bitter net screeching. this means a lot to us. jabbar. earlier i spent to our correspondence in a connolly in kiev, and he told me why the town of the man is strategically significant. well, this is a very important town. indeed, this is a kind of strategic part of the dumbass reasons. the northwestern corner, as ukraine's would say, at the beginning of their retaking churches that russia has basically spent a lot of energy, lots of lives and lots of tech taking over the past few months. and it seems like those russian troops are indeed now surrounded. there is, or least there was at last checking,

one route out will be one route out. there was under a threat of our to re far from the ukrainians. so there was busy the option for those russian troops stuck there, of which by different accounts are about $5000.00. some people say it as many as 10000 or either to stay there to fight to potentially to their debts or to hand themselves. overs prince was the ukrainians or to try and get out, but with that significant risk of being hit by our to re 5 or from the ukrainians. and this is really, really of see important, especially for ukraine, president to lensky a day after that big event in moscow. those illegal annexations being a mere announced to the world with a lot of fanfare. there, a sense of near showing the world that ukraine is taking the surgery back, research that russia claims its own. and that, you know, as much as blown uprooting can claim that this is irreversible, that these parts of ukraine on our russian forever, on the ground for now, ukraine troops all making significant inroads and pushing those russian troops. but right, and there's also ukrainian offensive underway in the south. how is that proceeding?

well, that's the thing all summer you heard the ukrainian military took bras, top officials talking about the south, but had song how important it was that this was going to be the big focus. and then in the end we saw actually compared to little happening there. and all the focus being, in fact, give region where they took the russians, basically by surprise and pushed them back. in the space of a week, ukraine picked up as much surgery as russia had gained in the previous 5 months in a week. and i had sold the progress is a lot smaller to lot slower. but the russians are in a very wonderful situation because they're basically on the left bank, the deeper river and old ways across the bridges had been destroyed. so the dependent on fairies and pontoon bridge to try and bring supplies in. there is the expectation that the ukraine's will make a move. but again, we may be proved wrong. so many times ultimate journalists have been blindsided by what ukraine's army in the end. i think it's a very brave analyst pundit now who no says whether ukraine yomi is going to go next. well, nick, we're getting reports of another russian attack on a civilian evacuation. convoy, what more can you tell us about that?
