u. n. and the red cross will be involved in evacuations of civilians from the as of styles. steel plant and mar, you pull, that's a huge steel plan that has been besieged by russia. it's almost like a city within the city. and there's an estimated 2000 soldiers in there, but also around a 1000 us civilians. apparently that would be significant if an international organization is involved in the evacuation of civilians from mario, paul. but on the other hand, putin, they're claiming that ukrainian soldiers, again, claiming that ukrainian soldiers were using civilians as human shields. we've heard that quite a bit from other russians in recent weeks. so we have to kind of wait and see whether there are any concrete results. i would say there wasn't a break through, but this was, you know, symbolically important, that garage even came to russia, potentially dialogue could prevent things getting even worse in ukraine. that's true, or definitely a good thing, but does the kremlin take the un sushi as as a mediator? how much of an influence does get her as heifer? i would say that russia does tak

u. n . and the red cross to help evacuate civilians from the steel plant. mary paul, after fusions meeting with you and 6, she general on tuesday, no more doable school will not be in the mary pulled direction, the enemies exerting massive fire and blocking our unit, said the area of the ups store plant in the city occupies continue to carry out filtration measures against the civilian population. and there's been protests and key of demanding safe humanitarian corridors out of the oven style steel, plant, mothers, and wives of soldiers fighting in mary paul attended the demonstrations agreements between ukraine and russia to allow safe passage of fighters and civilians have failed. so far. i ukrainian forces also confronting the russian military in the east fire if he is fighting has been reported in mc alive and her son in the southeast. russian forces also shelled the town of lyman in southern ukraine. the russian military fire tear gas and stun grenades of protest is in the city of her. some people are rallying against while they're calling a sham refere

red cross of the un. and they want to create a committee, a council where 3 sides. so from the russian government and the red cross in the u . n. come together and try and ease suffering for it's really population and maybe open up a humanitarian corridors. now, laughter of accuses western nations of circumventing the international framework of the united nations, a body that was created specifically to avoid the type of war. russia has unleashed on ukraine. what do you make of that statement? or can you repeat the question, please? i didn't catch it. a lover of, he accused her new west germany and france of putting aside the principles of the united nations in, in what he says. trigger, and his response for his military encouraging or that that's a special operation as russia is calling it. what do you make of that accusation? well, i don't think russia can really accused the west of the un, the west throne, the yen for starting the war against ukraine. and so i, i don't think there's really a basis for that statement by love. rough and the un secretary general said he would bring together actors from both sides in that conta

u. n and the international committee of the red cross, i can tell you the you and have brought in officials. not only those that are in ukraine, they bought in experts from other parts of the world. some of the most experienced people in the u. n. system. but they're not really giving us any details of the time frame for this operation to try and get them out of the steel works where most the civilians are and to take them to take them out of mary apple and set take them to safety. now it's also worth bearing in mind that these people, we understand in the still works are there along side fighters, ukrainian fighters. and there are some, certainly, some in the ukraine in public, even who would like those fighters to be brought out as well. and i think that's the difficulty of negotiations. they're going to take place. and the russians, i think, will be very keen that the civilians, if they are allowed out, are only the ones allowed out and every one else is screened and checked. and this is going to be, i think, potentially the problem with this sort of operation. it does feel to me as we t
