you correspond nick connelly, he's in chief. nick, tell us more about these overnight air strikes. so we've seen attacks not only on key of but also across the country and notably in the easton, at the pro regency of their public dot. and they're, they're pretty striking images of destroyed homes, destroyed infrastructure. we have recent reports from the authorities, if 25 casualties are not saying if those are fatalities or people who been wounded, but certainly it looks like a very heavy strike, as you mentioned, are key of in a much better position. the city that is privileged has much better ad offenses. and as such, there hasn't been any tangible damage. we just heard a lot of noise of the night as those rockets were shot down. now this is the 2nd wave of missile strikes nick on, on ukraine since friday. there had been a low in air strikes previously. why is russia intensifying its attacks? now? obviously that's what everyone is asking themselves. i think the basic and kind of

most obvious answer is because they can, it really seems like at the end of the, or when to campaign to attack ukraine's energy infrastructure. russia really was running out of missiles. and when the cranial authorities picked up, those missiles had been shot down, looked at the serial numbers, they really found that these were weapons that have been just produced, a couple of weeks before were being shipped to the frontlines almost immediately. and it seems like russia of the past month and a half, 2 months when they were very few of these attacks, was just building up supplies to then use these are 1520 near 30 missiles at a time to try and overwhelm ukraine's at events. is that isn't working for now, but there's also the motivation, as you mentioned, that to try and created a panic carry crane to try and see if the civilian population that got used to sleeping safely in the houses for the most part. if they were further away from the front lines, if they will put pressure on their government to come to some kind of deal with russia to go back to the negotiating table to looks possible explanations there. but certainly a bit of a shock to people in ukraine who'd kind of got used to nuts without the is aaron

winnings next say we're the so we're going to take a look at a report on the situation in batman, in eastern ukraine, the defense, the russian defense ministry says its troops have captured more territory, their kid maintains is still in control of a vital supply line into the area that i wanted. the ukrainian soldiers doing maintenance on the tank on the outskirts of been moved to the city is often referred to as the meat grinder, on account of the heavy losses. both sides have suffered, their ukraine's troops say that bit by bit that being squeezed out to lot of of as far as i can see, there's almost nothing left in back moot that is controlled by us by giving a roku, develop moscow's defense ministry now says it's come a little closer to its goal of taking all of the city what i was in your building and we're virtually and they have come up. already in the direction of donnelly, assault teams continued to displace the enemy in the western part of bamlett and

captured for quarters or their villanova. google is on the out. the other rushes military, along with the wagner mercenary group, have been trying to capture the city for months when a portion, but despite russia's claimed advance, key appears to still have a foothold and most critically, a supply line into the city. and right now both sides are running low on supplies of ammunition near me and just car. now the russians are shooting last year. but when you have them stop, then much more restrained compared to when we got here. sure. back then, are they were shooting all nice arcada what? but now they only shoot in response to our artillery wouldn't was actually said, you keep the head of the wagner group. you gave me progression as threatened to pull his troops out of pop mote. he blames a lack of ammunition, but the credibility of such statements is difficult to verify. what are you just

was you mislead law. keep has taken delivery of a host of new western weaponry and is getting sent to launch. it's coming counter offensive. speaking to a newly formed battle squad, president vladimir zalinski said ukrainian blood spoken back would, would not be in vain. shall only owen, him, just call the main battles are coming soon. i'm attending it. and as i say, we must free our land and our peoples from russian. slavery is going to william. we must restore our full state buddha, both on the land and that seems al cardona yet no solution. it's unclear when the counter offensive will start. but keith hopes that you western firepower, will make all the difference. nick, the battle for buck mode has been going on now for a long time. tell us more about what ukrainian forces are up against their

well, they're basically facing as good a attack as russia can muster right now. this is the number one priority. it has become so crucial to rush the narrative. all this and you can, it's very difficult see how russia could explain away to its own population if it didn't end up match managing to take the city. right now. those gains are incremental street by street. this is urban warfare is incredibly slow and incredibly bloody. we don't have any reliable figures about the casualties, but it does seem that ukraine is losing, for many less, rather far less people than the russian side. and as such, it could be seen as a good investment, as it were for ukraine to try and bind russia's potential there and buy motor, and to basically draw away forces from other parts of russia's campaign. right now the kind of focus seems to be on the main route that main road leading into by moon is constantly rushing pressure on that road to try and deprive you creating forces of their supply. and every couple of weeks you hear about your brains pushing the russians further away from that road and try and get it

a different section of the road. no one he can really make a prediction about how long ukrainian force is going to stay in battle. but certainly, it is a battle that has claim more lives and gone off along with anyone here could be imagined even a few months ago. and it has become something that is almost simple. and i guess in the kind of ukrainian imagination as it is and the rest of it. thank you very much for. no, that was our correspond. nick connelly there in q now to sudan and rival military factions have agreed to extend fragile cease fire agreement for another 72 hours. renewed truce, which started at midnight on sunday is supposed to provide some relief for civilians caught up in the fighting. now in its 3rd week, and there are growing concerns about the wider impact, the united nations is warning that an escalating humanitarian crisis could affect all vsoft reco. as the conflict in sudan rages on, the human impact intensifies. heavy fighting has led tens of thousands to seek
