city of pablo. here, arg was struck twice by russian. ms. idols. overnight added strikes, destroyed dozens of private houses, and is parked a mess of fire. listen to this booster. when i saw another spark, i thought we should get out of the house. we were in the hallway putting on our shoes when both doors were smashed by the explosions. then there was a fire. i ran outside and saw that the grass was destroyed. everything was on fire glass shots, every move or fish and sea dozens, including children for wounded and recent attacks. many residents are still frightened, who took always catching cutting door. we rushed from the hallway and lay on the floor, the gravel now and then the explosion waved, twisted the door itself,

dawn. we would have been trapped here if we stayed for 5 more seconds. then there were more explosion, ways. i don't know what happened to the door, but it wasn't easy to get inside the room. we did not sleep at night and in the morning, my child will need psychological help. it's harder. in the morning air defense dresser fire lit up these guys or will give, what do you could in military said it shut down 15 of the 18 cruise missiles fired across the country. it's the latest wave of russian air strikes and many places far from the front blades are being targeted across ukraine. a correspondent nick connelly is in care of and he has more on mondays attacks. well, as you mentioned, there no casualties in here, but certainly a lot more activity. you. why did your graffiti, than just give will the 30 people wounded in the east,

the country near the stiff new pro? it's believe they live near an industrial facility and that this was kind of collateral damage, people suffering from smoking relation and also from the explosion windows being blown out of their friends. there was a more recently in recent hours we've heard more detail about other attacks, other missiles in the west, the country, there's a 2 middle. so we need ski. so it does seem like there is some kind of logic behind these attacks, but it certainly comes as a shock after basically the best part of 2 months without attacks beyond the front lines i, people here and key of now very coach the fact that those arid warnings all very serious indeed. and all the european union has struck a deal to resume imports of ukrainian agricultural products. you states boring, re buttering ukraine had been torn between helping their neighbor and protecting their own farmers, leading some of them to ban imports. the you hope to keep the grain

trucks from ukraine on the go and europe, united ukraine had long been a big agricultural exporter. but russia's invasion changed that with its black see ports partly blocked. ukraine got their products to market, surround the world overland through europe, and the e. u wave tariffs on ukrainian goods to hell. but farmers in eastern europe complained that they were being left with mountains of unsold produce and that the availability of cheaper ukrainian grains damaged their business. poland normally a staunch ally of ukraine, even band imports unilaterally leaving long lines of ukrainian trucks stuck out the border. in april,

you cranes foreign ministry called the restrictions on its grain exports via the e. you quote, categorically, unacceptable. the agreement aims to let ukrainian agricultural products travel through the e u, but allow poland, romania, bulgaria, slovakia, and hungary to impose internal temporary restrictions on some grain. plus it gives the option to restrict more produce and future. at the same time, it lets ukrainian goods into the e u without tariffs for another year. miss as opposed to this one you. i think this is a success for the european union that it was possible to reach a compromise solution and get out of this crisis, which seemed to be potentially dangerous economically and also politically already the issue that compromise solution may get the trucks moving again
