for renick's -- for forensics to come into play. -- track their names and find out what happened to them and we are. there is an expectation in the part of ukraine that this will not be the last grave to be found. and there's more to be found area -- as soon as there minds were cleared in the forest they expect to find more people trying to get safety on their own possibly front lines -- for people who have been detained by the russian authorities that we have not seen or heard from since. >> is you just mentioned, you track the ukrainian border north of kharkiv with an area that was abandoned by russian troops only a few days ago. stay with us while we watch a report and we will come back to you. >> less than a week ago this is

a journey in an attack. an hours drive separate of kharkiv -- the metro villages emerging fm six mont occupation. here insight of the border, -- held on the longest. throwing everything advancing ukraine forces. the locals did not stick around. pets and livestock left behind. -- this is one of the hdful of residents left on r street. she has been without power -- to the last week without a roof. >> i came out of the seller and after the:, it seemed like everything was all right. i had to go down again, and i left everything was gone. the door, the roof, all just gone. the blast wave took it straight off. all that is left are my --

>> it was another first time that she was able to patch things up but not this time. many of her neighbors have worse. >> a boy next door was killed and two houses down the road there was a neighbor. a defender of the soviet army. he was sitting in his yard, and out of nowhere a piece of shrapnel hit him in the head and killed him. >> the russians kept asking me why i did not leave, i turned around and asked them why they came in the first place. i have been here for 39 years. >>'s a light sleeper, she tells is that she hopes to wake up in time to see -- falling down. like millions of other ukrainian refugees her daughter is now in poland. with her family scattered, she realizes her -- call for help. as a man of fighting age she was

constantly in the science of the russian army. >> i only left the house during the day you just keep your head down. the first time the russians picked me up was in april. a few times a month, they would come in again. i still have the marks from the bullets they shot in my legs. they were assessed with finding out where my brother was in the military and where his documents were hidden. >> he says his father was taken away by the russians in march since then retracing them has been lost on both sides of the border. this is just some of the shrapnel's that have been collected. with no end in sight to the shelling on the border, why not take a chance to get out? tel is ukrainiatroops offered to - a response was simple. not until i repair my roof. >> nick isis still with us.

what would you say after having been there on the ukrainian russian border aren't the ukrainian forces able to maintain that momentum going forward? >> definitely, we are seeing the ukrainian army continuing to push the russians back. maybe not at the same pace we saw last week, but it is because we exploded the front line which was the worst defendant. but for most of the -- south which seems to be a distraction area tactic to force the russians to send better resources that direction and leave this part of the country exposed. we see ukraine is coming up against more aggression defenses. but a lot of this region is crucial. this is the main supply route for russian forces -- and without that that gets more complicated. we hear reports of ukraine pushing forward which many

remember that the city that russia spent weeks over the summer at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives. and now, it ukraine is on a roll and they can put the russians under pressure even with the amount -- ty have so far. so there is more to come but they are able to make russia struggle and put them under the pressure that no one thought possible. it is an expectation that this is not the last -- use the ukrainians a look next couple of months. >> thank you, nick. let's have a look at the other headlines related to the war in ukraine. ukraine's president asked germany to become the first country to sit -- send that'll tanks to help fight russia. volodymyr zelenskyy said they should take a lead in supplying the tax -- not outweighing the u.s. they need the equipment for

the territory to not be captured by russia. champ -- chancellor scholz announced that -- oil. this puts the regulator in charge of three refineries including ace facility in northeastern germany. it is called illegal and bacon go to court to challenge the decision. -- they can go to court to challenge the decision. president putin is trying to decide whether he would attend the g20 summit in indonesia in september. but he said russia would be represented there. he also spoke about the ukraine more -- war -- saying he ended restaurant troops. after that summit, it was putin who also met with -- president saied one. turkey and the u.n. back in july

announcing ukraine to resume exporting grain from its black seaports. during the meeting couldn't reiterated that months -- much of the grain was not making it to poor countries that need it the most. >> wheat from ukraine arrives in africa. the first aid shipment from the world food or grab reach harbor in late august carrying much needed grain destined for ethiopia. only two deliveries have taken place since july where were the 100 ships have set cell from ukraine. bigger countries are the biggest winners. >> practically all the grain exported from ukraine has been shipped not to developing poor countries but to countries in the european union. any european countries in previous centuries -- colonialist this is how they

continue acting today. they have once again cheated the developing countries and continue cheating them. >> under the black greek -- black sea grain initiative they pass through and expection in turkey. -- and expection -- an inspection in turkey. -- 38% followed by asia in the middle east. african countries have received 6% of all the exports so far. while the poorest nations have seen the least of ukraine's grain. the united nations has defended the deal saying it has helped by putting downward pressure on global food prices. >> because of that drop, people who have been -- hoping to sell grain at a high price -- it will put more on the market and hopefully that will bring some of the local prices down.

>> russia is also upset that it's fertilizer exports have not restarted as agreed under the deal. fertilizer ingredient monia from russia to ukraine's odessa to export by c has been closed since the start of the war. u.n. is trying to get it flowing again. time is running out. the current deal expires in november unless all sides agree that grain and fertilizer exports from ukraine could come to a halt again. >> earlier i spoke with demetrius -- he is the ceo of -- companies in ukraine. i asked him how important the grain deal between ukraine and russia is. >[no audio] >> -- we will not be able to sell any grain.

we are selling some through poland but it is an absolutely new way of exporting. and we have such a big amount of grain that we cannot export -- you made our life better but it did not -- consult our problem. i expect the grain will grow at least at least -- 20%. >> we heard earlier in our work important claims that the grain that you are shipping out of ukraine is not reaching the countries that need it most. like sub-saharan africa what do you say to that? >> it very simple. it is mainly exported to turkey. and turkey -- is buying grain not for their own but hoping to export it to any other countries

so turkey is not buying for themselves they are buying to sell to these continents that are having struggle with prudence demands. and the whole market is working like one market it does not matter where in particular our grain goes. in total in the world market, our grain becomes small whether ukrainians export it. it makes them -- we need to get more grain in the market available. >> thank you very much. the ceo of one of the biggest companies in ukraine. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> let's look at the other stories making headlines around the world. authorities in kurdistan are reporting battles of neighboring to g qassem.

>> it has been shared in french, english, and in german. as you will see, it seems to show the european commission president washing her hands and showing us how to wash our hands without wasting water. as you can see, it was shared by this twitter account, it shares news alerts and breaking news in french, and has been tweeted and liked thousands of times. it's got quite a reach. the video itself is being shared in the context of a european political context of energy savings and encouraging people to cut down on energy use. you have sarcastic comments like soon she will show us how to have dinner without turning on the lights. this video, although it does show her washing her hands, humming the european anthem, she is in fact not doing it for the
