Ukraine says its troops have encircled Russian Forces in a key eastern town. Lehman has been under russian control since the spring. Ukraines military says that thousands of Russian Troops there are now surrounded. President Vladimir Zalinski is chief of staff, posted this video on twitter. Its sent to show ukrainian troops raising the ukrainian flag on the outskirts of the town. The mon is didnt ask region one, a for that russian president Vladimir Putin proclaim to be part of russia. On friday, in cranes president s lensky has condemned the legal annexation and vowed to keep fighting to regain last territory. Miles, we have achieved a significant results in the east of our country. There is already enough information out there about this. Every one has heard about what is happening in the man internet screeching. This means a lot to us. Just a bar. And our correspondence ne connelly joins us now from the cleaning capital key of hello to you neck. So as weve been talking about ukraines military and says it has encircled a Russian Troops in li mon. Whats the latest you can tell us about the fighting there . Well, this is a very important town, indeed, this is a kind of strategic part of the dumbass regions. The northwestern corner, as ukraines would say, at the beginning of their retaking churchy, the russia has basically spent a lot of energy, lots of lives and lots of tech taking over the past few months. And it seems like those Russian Troops are indeed now surrounded. There is, or least there was at last checking, one route out, or be one route out. There was under a threat of a to re far from the ukrainian. So there was basically the option for those Russian Troops stuck there. Of which by different accounts are about 5000, some people say it as many as 10000 or either to stay there to fight to potentially to their debts or to hand themselves over is principles the ukrainians or to try and get out. But with that significant risk of being hit by our to re 5 or from the ukrainians. And this is really, really of see important, especially for your current president to lensky a day after that big event in moscow. Those illegal annexations being a mere announced to the world with a lot of fanfare. There a sense and were showing the world that ukraine is taking the surgery back research that russia claims its own. And that, you know, as much as blind putin can claim that this is irreversible, that these parts of ukraine on our russian forever, on the ground for now ukrainian troops are making significant inroads and pushing those Russian Troops back rights. And theres also ukrainian offensive underway in the south. How is that proceeding . Well, thats the thing. All summer you heard the Ukrainian Military took bras, top officials talking about the south, but had song how important it was that this was going to be the big focus. And then in the end, we saw actually compared to little happening down, all the focus being in fact, give region where they took the russians, basically by surprise and pushed them back. Or in the space of a week, ukraine picked up as much surgery as russia had gained in the previous 5 months in a week. And i had sold the progress is a lot smaller to lot slower. But the russians are in a very wonderful situation because theyre basically on the left bank, the deeper river and all the ways across the bridges have been destroyed. So the dependent on fairies and pontoon bridge to try and bring supplies in. There is the expectation that the ukraines will make a move. But again, we may be proved wrong so many times oldman journalists have been blindsided by what ukraines army in the end. I think its a very brave analyst pundit now who no says where the ukraine yeomans going to go next. Well, nick, were getting reports of another russian attack on a civilian evacuation. Convoy. What more can you tell us about that . So weve heard from the ukraine officials in the region just nicola passed 2 hours. They took up 6 cars that were destroyed, had been shot at and burnt out with civilians inside dead during a child. They dont yet know when this happened. This happened basically in the grey zone between ukrainian and russian front lines. Just east the steering cooper of contents, which is in the hockey region towards the border. Whitlow hunts region a. We were there about a week ago and here that grayson, that is a real thing. Even the people on the ground, the soldiers dont necessarily know if its friendly fire or the other side coming at them. We were in that town and suddenly theres a helicopter above us. And everyone assumed it was ukraine helicopter until it started firing at the ukrainian positions. So there are lots of bits of turkey where civilians are in a really, really difficult position because they just dont know where to go for safety. Where to how to get out and where, which troops off. Im and i think of mostly as this goes on, theres going to be a lot more of these kinds of loss of life before this is ivan d. W. Net connolly in cave. Nick, thank you. We appreciate it. All western allies have responded to moscow. The legal annexations of for ukrainian regions with yet more sanctions targeting russian individuals and companies. Meanwhile, the White House National security advisor says another delivery of weapons to ukraine is coming soon. President joe biden said the us and nato would not be intimidated by Vladimir Putin. Americas fully de period prepared with our nato allies to defend every single inch of nato territory. Every single inch. So mister prudent, dont misunderstand what im saying. Every inch us present speaking there, but now we can speak to michael bernacki. He is a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and an expert on defense and eastern europe. Mr. Bernacki, welcome to the w. So as weve been hearing, Ukrainian Forces are now on the offensive around the mon. How is Vladimir Putin likely to respond now that his troops are essentially being pushed out of what hes calling russian territory . Well, putting is responding in the way that we are seeing on tv. Hes trying to freeze the front fries the line of contact. What it is right now, hes not able to push back on Ukrainian Forces with its own military. Therefore, he restart to this sham referendums in trying to put up political barrier backed up by hes new clerk threats. So it, we dont know what he will do next, except that russia continues to los a conventionally in ukraine. And that will continue to be the case while we should of course, remember that these for an x regions are in fact not fully under russian control. So what have protein gained from announcing these annexations . What debt the worst Case Scenario . So to say, the, the negative explanation of this is that putting the switch the direction of the war to say, we all know that this is a war of aggression. Its russia, its putting forces that crossed into your crate by claiming that these 4 regions are part of russia. Hes trying to reverse this logic to say that its ukrainians who are somehow evading, that rate 3 of russia. And in this way, he motivates hes military society for a defensive rather than offensive war. So he is definitely rushing up the escalation pressure on, on ukraine and the west. So does this mean that these annexations essentially make a negotiated settlement or some sort of negotiated end to this conflict . Impossible for a very long time the we will not see negotiated settlement of this conflict also because it is unacceptable right now to the ukrainian side. As president zelinski very clearly stated, to negotiate with putting himself it will be that the line of contact right now cannot be negotiated. Settlement putting would have to withdraw from ukraine, and hes unlikely to do it anytime soon unless expelled, middle, totally. And on the other hand, ukrainian government, even if they wanted to, cannot accept the line between the 4 regions and the rest of ukraine because praying in society is not going to allow this. Ukraine is winning and, and put in is trying to put up this fake political lines, political barrier in order to basically freeze the war where it is right now and have this protracted conflict for many months and had years to come. That was michael bernacki, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund. Thank you so much for your insights. Thank you.
