ground was rapidly deteriorating. and let's bring him funny for char, who joins us now from key funny, how are you creating and reacting to these allegations about the possible use of a dirty bomb? if you listen to mr. clever the, for a minister here from the very official ukrainian perspective, they call it vote, observed these accusations made by russia. they are, in fact they are seeing that this is being used as a information, a miss information campaign by russia to stage a false flag operation. which basically means that then russia is going to accuse ukraine of planting these bomb and accusing ukraine food for doing this. so now ukraine is accusing russia that the actually point to plant this bomb. however, if you look back on the contacts. yeah, and vladimir putin was sad recently that if ukraine attacks russia and so on, and they do consider an ex territory in ukraine such as her swans up her regional

region, the dumbass region, as russia right now, if you claim attacks it than russia is going to resort to nuclear bombs. and what i find quite particularly interesting here is how ordinary citizens have reacted to this development. you will really find reactions from a scale of very angry to very concerned people who are angry because they say vote, they feel terrorized by this ongoing fear and fear mongering by russia. but you will also find people just simply say, so much so many things have happened over the course of the past 8 months in ukraine. that they believe anything and everything that's quote, inhumane, is possible. and that it is possible that russia may actually plant a or half such a plan and actually execute this plan and have a dirty bomb in place for a ukrainians for ukraine activities to suffer. we do not know, cetera what he's going to happen. but one thing is clear that not just rhetorically, but in many ways if you look at what happened during the past of just 2 weeks,

things are escalating here in ukraine. and that comes, it made funny reports of a russian troop build up in belarus. you've been to the border, what are people they're telling you? i was stunned when i spoke to a local in a village. they are very close to the barouche and boarded just about 25 to 30. can meet the way they said they're much more afraid of letting me put in and russian forces than if winter arriving. and you have to see that so much of critical infrastructure of energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed. of the past few weeks. elderly women who really aqua soon about the winter, but they said they're rather more concerned about bloody mood put in da, send a message to you. just haul nazi, a traumatized over the fact that russian forces have been through that village already. the way in the northern part of ukraine, at the 1st phase, at the beginning of this full scale escalation is fullest. getting the asian in, in march, and april and soldiers themselves have a very own perspective. as well as the preparing for that offensive lightly to come

from belarus. let's have a look at that report. fear a keeps you alert when it's dangerous. the soldier sans mortar attacks and shelling, having creased here and paper maps work. when technology doesn't, he staking us close to the water with beller oath. there's no need to spend time thinking will inoffensive happen or not. we're preparing for the enemy to come. work is to play. this part of northern ukraine is were russian forces swept through when they 1st had it for keith. at the start of the war. the push back broke though ukrainian 3 took the area in april may but to remove that but we patrol these positions. this forest was angry, really proud to have such trophies for the ukrainian army, vanessa locally. so this is a former russian position. oh, dirt. yes it is. so user,

this is what's left of one russian fighting vehicle after those battles in march. the soldiers here expect new ones to arrive soon. so i'm them. we are prepared when motivated we have no way back. we are defending, our homeland mothers shoves whose throttle many here suspected their neighbors and bella, ruth had helped the russians from the star. but now it's official. on the other side of the frontier, they are joining forces. they say they are preparing to defend themselves, but people here at the border with bella, ruth assured that will take the form of an attack. although they don't know when it will come. village or snow. they are russian soldiers just 30 kilometers away. just gotta look, oh, how me who should i go to look a hey, i'm not afraid of the winter, but i am afraid of the russians. they are traumatized by the violence and very worried that rush in forces might return. but they won't leave say

yet, casual law. so this is our home lans we were born here it is. we live here and we won't go anywhere. so valentina, like most people in his village has lived here all her life. she desperately wants peace. that's what the soldiers in the forest say. they are fighting for the york. i want this war to stop with me. i have much to lose this, only one life, but it's better. i fight this than my children, all my grandchildren. and yet some of his children's generation have not been spared the war there. prepare for the winter for the russians, and now for the bell russians using fear to stay alert. so that's the situation where you are funny along the border with fellow verse. how about on the active front in the south near her san but you claim forces definitely continue with the counter offensive in harrison region. their goal is certainly to liberate harrison city. while on the,

on the russian or from the russian side, the russian forces actually have you draw from certain settlement, say in hassan region. and i was calling on civilians as a sake for to safe and protect their lives and to leave a port of the west bank of the detroit river. where has the cities located and go and move towards a crimea or to rush in occupied territories. what, of course, a lot of civilians there as see as a force bill of being force billy and moved to to other parts of the country. whereas many of course also would like to go to ukrainian control territories. i expect a little more chaos actually in that region has in region as ukrainian forces want to make headway there. but of course russians, even though from some settlements they have drawn, they're not just gonna give up on harrison city. it is very strategically important to them. so what is the com? that's the question of which actually takes us back to the 1st question. what is

going to be the reaction of russia? if ukraine succeeds to liberate such a strategic town harrison city? nobody knows. and if a child came, thank you. and here are some other stories making news around the world. militant storm day hotel in the somali in port city of his, my o on sunday, killing at least 9 people and wounding dozens more. security forces said that they killed all the attackers and an hours long siege, the militant islamist group. all sure, bob has claimed responsibility for that attack. tens of thousands have joined protest in the hungarian capital. budapest, demonstrators criticized to the right wing government ideological influence on what is taught in schools and its control over the media. crowds also denounced prime minister victor or bonds of friendly relations with russia. with media, salman rushdie, the agent says that the author lost sight in one eye and the use of
