ukrainian soldiers in sally dark face oblique battle against russia's constant attacks. the fight here is bloody and brutal. wow. russia is determined to take control of this small salt mining town in the eastern region of de next, a rare push forward after numerous military setbacks. its forces are already claiming victory was the only never complete control. so it makes it possible to cut off the supply line. the red printer force is located in the southwest bottom. then to laughlin close the cranial units located there, 1 o'clock, and run a zillion ukraine swiftly rejected the claim that us valid. now the terrorist state and his propagandist, tried to pretend the, our city of solider almost completely destroyed by the occupy as is some kind of achievement for russia safety. but they're already presenting this as

a success to their society in order to support the military mobilization and give hope to those who want aggression what. but the fighting continues to the next front. we is holding a live, elaborate among the loss of sally dark. would be a blow for ukraine after months of hard won successes, retaking towns and territories, but the fighting comes at a high cost. it's close gone, but we have gunshots. yeah, we have for grenades. sure. up now once and so on. so this kind of wounds. in the increased rush i claims to was killed, hundreds of ukrainian soldiers in the battle for sali darn, but there is no confirmed death toil. more than $550.00 civilians are reportedly still living in the town in horrific conditions without running water or

electricity. donatello sag remote, so specializes in russian foreign and security policy at king's college, london. i asked her about the significance of solid, are falling to russia. if that is confirmed. yes, i think it is. it is quite significant from that sort of point of view of russia's moran because they finally, after so many months and so many casualties. and so much sort of artillery and use of times they, they finally managed, it seems to take on crowd of the city. i think it is important, i mean, terms of oh, so that the low cost of tactic aren't on mention because it can fit acton, not only potentially, eventually in startlement of the city of mac mode, which is for the south, but also the connection, the line, the road settling by mode to severe disc further to the north, north east. so i think that there are, you know, from the ukrainian point of view,

you know, it is, it is on the issue of concern out, of course, if we look at the entire map of ukraine, i, it is not a major advance from the russian point of view, but we'll, if we look at the theater warning, this area, you know, it codes start sort of challenging other ukranian positions around of course, by moved by potentially also towards love yonce gun. could i, my thoughts which are sort of learning polar done sort of military base is full the ukrainians, but the ukraine us up into, i think, very effective defensive line. so i don't think this when the domain's, the car lapse of ukrainian lines and ukraine's western allies just looking forward are promising armored vehicles and training for ukrainian soldiers over the next few months. and if all of those mooted promises of weapons come through, how will that change things? i think that is the most significant question. none, i'm glad you raised it because here,

but the key point is how much support you are. ukraine is going to go on whether potentially it will eventually get the famous on my parts of which of the tanks that are originally producing germany. so germany has a very po, done sort of decision there to make to allow other countries to lee expo a, you know, they let post that they apply from germany. but oh, so for example, that the british are probably seeing other challenges, food ahmed vehicles which are quite effective. so i think that if the ukrainians receive addition of the old to carry out offensive operations. and that includes not only tanks, but also asked support, which is often not addressed very much under is very little information, much as support or ukraine might get in terms of aircraft and training. i think then we can see a significant change on if i may add, i think what is interesting is address note we're seeing that a western countries you know,

tend to provide additional support to ukraine when there are no says when there is a particular difficulty when ukraine is supposed to be treat or when it's massively bombarded as is happening now. i mean, at the moment in finding another 6, this is a, it seems the wise sort of thoughts on i'm providing the necessary perfect. thank you . i miss sagger most. i'm sorry, we have to leave it there just for time. reasons. thank you so much for your insightful and and the u. k. has now confirmed it will send those challenger to tanks to ukraine. these will be the 1st advanced tanks sent to the country by its allies since the war began. keith has been requesting more modern weaponry for months and hopes the british decision will put greater pressure on germany to allow the delivery of its own leopard tanks. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. in germany, media reports are circulating that defense minister,
