invading troops now closing in on a city in ruins after weeks of bombardment led by a newly appointed general with a reputation for brutal tactics. but ukraine s forces flush with victories of recent weeks now digging in and ready to resist. there will be a lot of troops here, he says there will be a fight. ukraine won the battle for kyiv. now another battle is coming the battle of donbas every day matters and things might be supplied on a daily basis to strengthen our defense capability reporter: even after the attack where at least 57 were killed, including children, ukrainians still rushing to flee by train 10 million have been already forced from their homes, many arriving here in the relative safety of lviv the trains have been a lifeline for the ukrainian people dilute the war,

what you are seeing there in lviv and the sense of updates in the state of the fighting around the country? jonathan, the ukrainian and russian governments don t agree on very much, but they do agree that this war is turning decisively to the east. the ukrainian foreign minister on meet the press this weekend saying ukraine has won the battle of kyiv, but the battle of donbas is just beginning. and we are seeing all sorts of signs of russian forces bearing down anew in the east. as you said, kharkiv, under intense new assault. and we are seeing that massive column, eight miles long, of russian tanks and artillery east of the city, in the besieged port of mariupol, president zelenskyy now saying this morning, there could be tens of thousands of people dead inside that city. the effort continues to try to get civilians out, and it is going to painfully, deadly,
