fact that this humanitarian corridor did not result in large-scale evacuations today from the city of mariupol as had been hoped for, there had been some hope from ukrainian officials that up to 6,000 people perhaps in a single day could be evacuated from the city, and it didn't happen. that is exactly what needs to happen because of the huge amount of people that are still in mariupol that need to be evacuated. some 100,000 people across that city, in and around it, need to be taken out. after weeks and weeks of no food, no water, no medical supplies, a lack of infrastructure for communications, for power in general, it is an incredibly dire situation for those people there which is why you've seen such an emphasis in recent days from ukrainian officials to try and get people out. and yet their best attempt today after there being some hope over the fact that simply a humanitarian corridor was established, which hadn't happened in many days, it did not work out as planned. >> matt rivers for us there in lviv. thank you, matt. >>> for more on russia's missile test, let's get more information n

the enemy may seize the land that mariupol used to stand on, but the city of mariupol is no more. the city of mariupol has been wiped off the face of the earth by the russian federation. by those who will never be able to restore it. and i will say this with full responsibility as a representative of the ukrainian government, because to restore mariupol, that is only something ukraine can do, something that ukraine can do with the leadership of the head of state, and the whole presidential and government hierarchy. because i was involved in the restoring mariupol's infrastructure and building the european standard infrastructure there, and that is something the russians will never be able to do. so the city of mariupol is no more. however, as for the land bridge, the so-called land bridge with crimea that the russian federation is talking about, well, i will say there is still fighting in zaporizhzhia region, fighting goeing on around khersn and they're pushing the enemy and the so-called land bridge to crimea, that is something that is an illusion of the enemy. as is the blitzkrie

just that there are some i don't know a couple make sketches, outline this character in the city of mariupol, who knew there was a company of azov machine builders there, a machine of a construction company that was cut into scrap metal and many constructions were taken out of the city of mariupol uhu please tell me , mr. ivan, why azovstal is so confidently being destroyed, trying to be destroyed by the russian federation we have already outlined this certain symbolism , just like the whole of mariupol, mariupol was and still is an example of how it can to develop a city that actually refused to go to russian peace in 2014, and you know this contrast between , for example, donetsk luhansk and ukrainian mariupol, ah, it was very striking, so destroy mariupol . i think it was. however, we are aware that the people of mariupol, a large number of these people left the city in different directions and under different circumstances for completely different reasons. the employees of your company are exhausted, are there any contacts with these people, understanding what they need now, are they cur

, the building of the city council, and 56 schools, all libraries of the city, it was the fury of the doomed ring around mariupolrinking for a long time and on the night of september 10, the forty- third land units of the red army attacked, the city at the same time the marines of the azov flotilla landed troops near a small suburban village, yalta and in the mariupol port, carrying liberation literally on their shoulders, kozhevnikov was the first to jump into the water and took the gangway from the boat and held it on his shoulders until the landing command was completely disembarked. after landing, comrade kozhevnikov immediately returned to his combat post and, in wet clothes, suppressed enemy firing points from a machine gun oerlikon the germans have powerful fortifications on both banks of the kalmios river, especially in the industrial zone, but the onslaught of the soviet troops is too strong for the enemy, they literally crush. mariupol was taken in 10 hours on the day of the assault. special squads of arsonists are still operating in the city, having lost their heads from fear and hatred. they fire the

bring aid in, and get the disabled people out. >> so your biggest person is that mariupol will not be the last sort of sieged city aboutable poblly 20,000 dead civilians inside mariupol. when you talk about these cities besieged by the russian forces, it is the most vulnerable who are left behind. it is the elderly, the disabled as you say. that presents its own unique challenges for groups like yours, so how do you deal with that? >> people have to move voluntarily, and my own staff last night and colleague, ukrainian colleagues who are courageously keeping up these lifelines. they tell about parents being trapped in the east. that we have both staff, colleagues, and their relatives now controlled by russian forces or in areas in crossfire where we have lost all contact with people. it's a desperate situation. it cannot go on like this for -- for -- for long. the death toll will just skyrocket. it will be a bloodbath. >> the initial request was $1.7 billion. um, has that been raised? and is that enough, if this continues to dwn g on because obviously, no one thought it would last two months and now there is fear

mariupol. rapid explosions russia has bombarded this city into near submission.e home to about 500,000 people, thousands are believed to have been killed. emergency workers from russia are filmed here, retrieving the dead. moscow has repeatedly denied that its troops are responsible for the mass killings of civilians in ukraine, but mariupol�*s mayor says some of the worst war crimes have been committed there. translation: they | killed 20,000 people. they did it on purpose. this is what i think. they intentionally prevented people from leaving mariupol. they set this genocide up by closing the city down and using land artillery and air strikes first, and then the warships that arrived later. russian forces have been accused of hiding civilian bodies in mass graves. these satellite images show them appearing over the course of a month. the civilians have been buried in the village of manhush, outside mariupol, the southern city which has been besieged and encircled by russian forces for weeks. the last ukrainian troops in the city are holed up inside the azovstal
