kids for the latest. get to see you next. so tell us what you're hearing from the heart of region regarding this latest assault by russia. one man at 24 hours into this russian advance and the kind of give and we are still scratching our heads, trying to work out what exactly is going on. we've had reports that they have basically gone into photo villages therapy notes. kind of give us about 35 kilometers north of ukraine, 2nd city and northeast of had given you both chance credit of 6065 thomasville, defective city, the 2 separate areas on the russian border yesterday evening. we had retail ukrainian of will. 30 saying that the russians basically would controlling any villages. now that doesn't seem to be quite the case with international kind of observes alice trying to look for g, are located footage, satellite imagery to try and confirm this reports and still struggling. but certainly we've seen lots of regions, social media, of a fighting of fires of, you know, the kind of this you can see in the distance. so you're fighting going on that

location. so there was a sense that the russians, really, the seeds come in big of this big scale and trying to really make it difficult for the ukrainian side. we do believe that these, but it's on the board of what logins like a gray zone. so they haven't really been fully controlled by the crating side. they were basically abandoned, but we're still really struggling to yeah. get for this. there have been months of russian attacks in this area, but do people really feel that this is somehow different of the so if you look at this, yes, certainly this is different in the sense that russia has crossed the border previously it was just menu showing from the from the russian side of the crate inside showing back. so that certainly is different. and there was a sense that this could still get figured out, but we don't expect the russians to try and take kind of give that would be cubic a challenge. given the results is given that the kind of manpower that you see the russians collecting on the side of the board. but it does seem most of the kind of

pundits in cuba arguments. so this is about distracting ukraine, forcing ukraine to take, sold as a result is away from don't buy from the east, the country, but we seem most of, i think we some months to protect your credit. second city as that is obviously a very real threat. having said that, you know, we have seen the russians talked about this for, you know, the best part of a few months. we've had people in russian state tv threatened to flatten the how to keep. so this isn't something they've been trying to secretly, this is something they've been wanting people in ukraine to think about trying to create panic, try and see if people can be kind of move to evacuate competitive and to really create a sense of kind of people with the you guys, so i teach, so there is a lot of kind of propaganda and kind of working with ukrainian kind of fee is here to setting up something they were trying to do in secret and make you mentioned ukraine having to re shift its resources from dunbar to the heart of region. the concern for a long time has been a lack of weaponry and manpower on the ukranian side. is this likely to change or

will things improve with this new delivery of military assistance from the us? of the certainly myra may. we've heard from us what's the thing that they're working basically around the clock to make sure that this newly approved us aid actually arrives in the front lines. we don't really know in what quantity that's actually happening. i think in terms of product for now it's not so much about the resources and the shells because this is basically kind of border rate kind of situation that we're in. so it's more about tracking down with the rest of the try to tech than we've had lots of quotes of searching, you know, kind of machine guns that was relevant to kind of heavy us a refund that is characteristic of the don't passive finality. it's more about based on the ground, having enough people to kind of follow what these questions about as well. but certainly ukraine is a situation where it is a good thing. we could that it was a year ago because of that delay in the us. and you know, the rest of the used to using that opportunity now the full, the 8, her eyes are correspondents and economy reporting for us from
