First line of russian defences and part of the south. Now mine fields have been blocking the troops for weeks. That means when they are blocked, of course they are vulnerable to russian shelly. Its been dangerous, but careful my Clearing Operation has been making it where they can advance. Ukraine says gains have been made in the south and have expanded their units towards the town of tokmak, Logistics Centre for russian forces. In the last hour or two we have these pictures into the newsroom of zelensky there visiting with troops on the front line. This is it donetsk. I spoke to drjenny mathers. She is a Senior Lecturer at the department of International Politics of the Aberystwyth University in wales. I asked just how significant this is.

Ukraines black sea ports are now effectively blockaded by russia, experts say it will have to rely heavily on its ports along the danube river to export grain into neighbouring romania from where it can be transported further afield as romanias ports remain open.
