5:03 pm
huge costs to its own soldiers and tech back in the summer. and i think there's also been a lot of reaction here on social media, e crane, the russians try to put a brave face on it saying that they left disney controlled fashion and that they were doing it to basically retreat to more advantageous positions and frontline kind of positions and, and yet of the pictures coming out of the mon show quite the opposite. lots of images of destroyed russian vehicles trying to get out of them on dead soldiers, but been hit by ukrainian artillery. and this is of see a big, big deal for kind of morale, hearing ukraine said munson this was it signed that ukraine is still on the front foot is pushing russia back in spite of all the threats coming on moscow. and now at nick, we're also getting reports of a further attack on a civilian evacuation convoy in ukraine. what more can you tell us about that? to this was near city of cooper county, which is actually not that far away from lemons. the same part of the country,
5:04 pm
the north east. and as we understand from the cranial authorities not part of the country. these were civilians who were in the basic, the gray zone between the russian and the ukrainian front lines. they seemingly were trying to get safety. 6 cars have been found destroyed with people in them, including a dead child, and a sense that this is just really characteristic of the can celtic situation. war often enough civilians are basically left without mobile phone coverage without the option of finding out what's going on around them. not knowing where the nearest front lines are, how to get to ukraine control territory, and often ob, no lives there lives in this kind of tragedy. this is unfortunately, a picture that we've seen repeated across the country. and that looks at to repeat itself again. and again, i'm, and i think it's also just, it gives you a sense for the chaos of war that people, even locals, who think they know what situation is where safety is, are often then surprised by finding that they come across a russian patrol. ukraine patrol somewhere where they weren't expecting it. and there's a lot a lot, a lot of risks for civilians and often disciplines. don't want to leave home until
5:05 pm
it's basically too dangerous to do. so that has been the patent time time again this world, people just don't want to believe that the dangers down till it's basically too late to get out and safety. and nick, just briefly, we know there's another ukraine offensive in the south. how is that proceeding? well that was the thing that was talked out of all, some of the discount, the focus, this was gonna be ukraine's number one target. and then as we saw, it all happened in exactly the opposite side of the country in hockey. so i think that was a bit of a distraction tactic from the ukrainian leadership, but it does seem that they are pushing the russians back will be not at the same speed as in don bass, the russians are pretty exposed. they're, they're stuck on the left bank of the new pro, with the bridges across their side where the russian supply lines are destroyed. but for now, no major developments, no sense that this is going to be a change in the next day or 2 a week or 2, but incremental developments there and a sense that ukraine, what's those russians are pushback from the left bank of the pro, at least before winter sets in and the kind of fighting season ends till the spring
