there in that piece, lviv in the last few days. as you saw out there in that piece, lviv really - in the last few days. as you saw out there in that piece, lviv really has l there in that piece, lviv really has become a hub, a hub between east and west. 65 kilometres away from the polish border, those who can afford to stay in hotels, we are seeing so many internally displaced people staying in hotel here. i met a young family with a two and a half year old child who told me they had come from kyiv, and i asked them, how long do you plan to stay? they said, maybe another two weeks, they do not know. they hope to return home to theirfamilies. families here are torn apart. some families, their parents do not want to leave their land and home behind, they want to stay and protect what they have built their entire lives and generations, and then there is martial law that exists here in ukraine and has been enacted and put in place last week, meaning between the ages of 18 and 60 must rem
on an oil depot. and i want to show you these latest drone pictures from borodanyanka, that s about an hour north of kyiv. you can see many buildings are now rubble from shelling and air strikes. on the outskirts of kyiv, this long convoy of russian military vehicles we ve been talking about it for a few days now because it s said to be on its way to kyiv. lyse doucet explains. we hear both from british defence experts, us defence officials and the ukrainians, they report that there is a mechanical breakdown, congestion, wheels stuck in the mud, shortages of food and fuel. all of this sending an image to the world that the brave ukrainian army, however outmanned and outgunned by the russian military, is still standing. so that convoy might have stalled for now, but kyiv is preparing its defences. civilians have made barricades in the centre of the city,
where russian is advancing most. they seized their first major city kherson. and they ve encircled mariupol, where residents are trapped from shelling. let s focus on south ukraine. russia is targeting these cities for strategic reasons. controlling the south cuts ukraine off from the sea and creates a direct link between russia and crimea, which it anexxed in 2014. you can see from this map, troops are advancing from crimea. let s show you what mariupol looks like it s had hours of sustained shelling. hundreds are feared dead. it s still under ukrainian control, but russian troops surround it. electricity, water and heat supplies have been cut. authorities say, they are hindering food supplies, blocking us like in leningrad.
hello, i m ros atkins, this is outside source. russia takes its first major city in ukraine, and its bombardment continues. strikes in the north, east and south this, just a few hours from the capital kyiv. people in the city of mariupol say they re under siege shelling is so fierce, they can t rescue the injured. vladimir putin says the invasion will go on. translation: i would never announce my conviction translation: i would never announce my conviction that translation: i would never announce my conviction that russians translation: i would never announce my conviction that russians and - my conviction that russians and ukrainians are one people, despite part of the residents of ukraine having been brainwashed by the nazi nationalist propaganda. the un says more than1 million people, have now fled ukraine and we ll look at europe s efforts to reduce its dependency on russia s oil and gas.
that s a reference to the deadly nazi siege of st petersburg formerly leningrad in world war two. they add they re constantly shelling the city, preventing us from evacuating the injured, and women and children. here s mariupol s deputy mayor. we still do not have electricity, water, sanitary system and heating system, only natural gases we have. and we do not know whether it will be possible to restore electricity because continuous shelling does not allow repairmen to do their work. let s look at kherson now. 24 hours ago, its mayor confirmed russia is in control. pictures from residents show russian vehicles are making their way through the streets. russian forces have taken over a state government building, but local authorities say they ll still carry out their duties. this is a resident of kherson responding to the idea of a power sharing deal between russia and ukraine.
