a naval port city on the sea of as off and somewhere where we had always suspected am and military analysts had said that there would be a big fight because of the amount of ukrainian military and ukrainian paramilitaries in that city. a city. it was very proud of having pushed separatists back out of it in 2014. the reason that that city is so important for the russians . so analysts say is because if they were to take control of it, it would give them a land corridor from the east, further east, where the separatists have been in control for, for 7898 years now and northern crimea. and we know that the russians have been suffering terribly with respect to water resources on in, in crimea, water resources that have been taken controllable, were taking control of by the ukrainians in 2014. we also hear of terrible shelling, am and mass casualties around the town of vol, nova, that is also north of mariel pool. and we understand that there had been an attempt earlier in the day to try and organize some sort of corridor or so civilians could get out. and we've heard nothing since cha. stratfo

, taking ukraine's 3rd largest city would effectively cut the rest of the country off from the black sea. but the city is prepared for that bill. hamid has more from odessa in southern ukraine. ah, the russian invasion is yet to reach odessa. but here is a feeling that is just a matter of time and not much longer to wait. a president followed the mirror, zalinski has called an all ukrainians who joined the war effort and people like and the have lamb of who's an opera singer. have answered his call. it's oddly warm for dad. maybe 20. yeah. he thinks that it's going to be a long war despite ongoing negotiation and complaints that ukraine has been left to fight. hello. i knew you could almost no success. they didn't want to help us right now. they promised weapons more active involvement in the war fighter just now the u. s. is refusing by them hasn't delivered. they are not closing the sky. they're not taking away rushes ability to bomb our peaceful cities and annihilate women, children, and the elderly. they're not protecting the humanitarian corridors from mario po. the city is frantica

city. it's the last major port on the black sea.the sandbagging's, and narrowing streets and preparing for that invasion, there are also preparing civilians to take over some of these checkpoints and protecting of hospitals that have been targeted. we spent yesterday at training center for civilians. where they're putting them through a quick crash course of a type of boot camp, where veterans are trying to train them up on basic gun skills. movement skills. medic skills, and everyone is very much preparing, but there is also a sense that you have to go on living your life in a small degree while they wait. the city was very quiet when we originally arrived. we're starting to see more and more people on the streets going to the grocery store, going on aaron's. we see one or two restaurants opening up. but there are still very ♪ and everyone telling you'll be of good cheer ♪ it's spring! claritin provides non-drowsy symptom relief from over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens, day after day. ♪ oh the most wonderful time ♪ feel the clari

cities by the russians, there are? >> and colonel, just a timeframe here. in order for the russians to possibly be moved over to the sea, and then move up as the cease-fire exists, and a cease-fire is leaving, how long would it take to actually evacuate the cities, because it is a mass exodus? >> weeks and weeks, and weeks, and probably much longer then the ukrainians have the capability to defend. like i said, they are running low on supplies and food. ukraine has, it had 40 million people in it. a lot of them were situated in the eastern part of the country. our view sometimes is skewed by -- we in europe and maybe asia, the only built-up areas, but this part of eastern europe is very, very buildup, it's very urbanized. you've got 40 million people, in an area the size of texas. so it's very concentrated. it's going to take a long, long time to evacuate people, particularly from this part of the ukraine. i'm afraid it's much longer than even the cease-fire, or the ukrainians capability to defend will be, so lots and lots of ukrainians will ultimately be trapped, if and when the russians seal the area off from the sou

is going to be a war crime, a historic crime. odessa is the 3rd largest city in ukraine is often known as the peril of the black sea, but it's also significant port for the wider region with strategic pipelines, oil, and chemical processing facilities, as well as major transport hubs. if russia managers to take the city, it would cut off ukraine's access to the black sea. john hall has this update from the live, see. they look at the horizon at elements of the black sea fleet, including landing craft and support craft hovering there. and they are aware that forces that have overtaken the town of song on the black sea just to the west of crimea, moving through house on expanding territory, heading towards mc alive, a big ship building center, and then potentially turning westwards to double back on themselves. and hit our data, it would be an enormous loss for ukraine if odessa were to become a new frontline and perhaps eventually be encircled and occupied accounts for 70 percent of commercial shipping. it is the biggest port. it is a huge economic thoroughfare. it would effectively be an expansion of rushes, strate

the east of the country which is where we are seeing the war continue on unabated, those black sea cities from cure sean, which is on the western tip of the black sea, to marry-able which is on the eastern tip. we are seeing cities surrounded and bond into dust. those are the words of the local mayor in one of those cities. maria poll we heard from the energy sector is now completely cut off. it's cut off. the power will not come back on in that city. certainly not anytime soon. in the north of the country where russians are moving from the south, you have similar situations. at least a dozen villages they are now cut off for at least four days. some of them up to six days -- residents trapped unable to a times even get above ground. we heard from the united kingdom ministry of defense in the last few hours that in the humanitarian quarters were actually targeted by russian forces, and as you mentioned, depending on which version of the negotiations you listen to, either nine of the ten corridors or 11 of the corridors led to russia or the roofs, which is just simply not going to be an op
