two. that was not a plane, that was a cruise missile. they are fired in 30-second inintervals. cruise missile, stand by. six, six eight, nine, ten, 11 yeah, there it is. there s the smoke. there s the smoke. that s three. so three cruise missiles. yeah. wild and scary. the ukrainian forces are closing in on the city of mariupol, and the fall of that city would be a major win for the kremlin especially after the defeat in kyiv. the city has already been devastated, that is mariupol, by russian attacks over the last six weeks, but the remaining ukrainian forces have so far refused to surrender. mariupol s mayor says more than
carrick, thank you for joining us. are you anticipating more attacks into the heart of lviv? good evening. thank you so much for having me. yes, we are anticipate the attacks will continue. they are right now the result of two things. first, the overall intensive firing and attacks on ukraine cities, we have seen that in kyiv and have seen that in kharkiv, and now putin is basically saying there s no place in ukraine where you can feel safe. and the second point is, this is the revenge of our forces sinking the moskva, and we knew there would be a fight and this is what it is.
the first time people have died there when the missile hit and it does shatter all the feelings of safety the people all the refugees from all over the country they had there. we will not be able to stop attacks like that if we would not have the fighter jets that for 54 days we have been asking for. before we can close our sky and protect ourselves with our pilots, we will not be able to protect any single city from being attacked from the air. what is your message to ukrainians now? i have spoken to other officials that said come back to kyiv. kyiv is well, it s not 100% safe but we are getting back to a new normal in kyiv. with this attack in lviv, what is the message to ukrainians who are thinking to themselves, should i stay or should i go? i don t think kyiv is safe

yet, however the question is is there anyplace that can be considered safe. so the message to all the ukrainians is you have to wait for yourself and figure it out if it s absolutely necessary for you to come back to kyiv and try to be as usual as possible to our land, then do that. if there s a way for you to be useful where you are right now, stay there. we need to wait on a decision for only one point, is we are making the best to help our mother land, our country to win this war. this is their only and main way to make decisions. what about the people in lviv right now? there are refugees who don t feel safe should probably be moving further west, especially the kids and families whose
