after milk is spilled, you are trying to hold your water, if you understand the meaning of this. definitely after we have been betrayed so many times during his eight years, when one statement is made but the next day or even during the negotiations, if you remember how the minsk agreement was signed, the next day russians started a very violent military operation. that is why definitely now, with the statements and requests, we first would like to see the actions. actions not for one night, but at least for several days to confirm it is notjust words. while we were listening to that, a line from the un refugee agency, saying more than 4 million refugees have now fled ukraine since russia launched its war on february 24th, 4 million ukrainians have left the country, a tenth of the population
that battle in this war. that battle in this war. thank you very much- more than three million people are now known to have fled the conflict in ukraine but despite the threat of shelling, many remain determined to stay behind. as russian forces re focus their attention on the south east of the country, our correspondent wyre davies has been meeting some of those civilians living on the front line of a war zone. a street market in 0rikhiv, southern ukraine. at first glance nothing out of the ordinary. but this is a town right up against the front line with russian forces. these people are only out on the streets and shopping because they have to. the local supermarket closed weeks ago and this village is far from safe. we just want peace we can live without a lot, she says. but tell them the russians to stop bombing us. locals debate passionately over what ukraine should do next.
the russian shells. translation: i m hiding here in this bunker - because they are bombing us and attacking us from each side. i hate them, i hate them. we used to live in peace and we were happy. in a small town where war is an unwelcome visitor, everyone is adapting quickly. doctors from 0rikhiv s small hospital, nurses and first aiders, given a crash course in battlefield medicine and dealing with trauma. they are keen to learn, but they know this is serious. shortly after we left 0rikhiv we got a call from lida. there had just been a big attack. 0ne shell landed in herfield, more in the town itself.
