Russia Ukraine Conflict |
Russia has formally warned the united
states and its allies against supplying
further weapons to ukraine
the kremlin said that the arms shipments
could lead to what it called
unpredictable consequences speaking
during an interview president zielenski
has acknowledged that up to 3 000
ukrainian soldiers have died and as many as 10 000 have been left injured since
russia invaded his country in february
meanw.
I'm hile there have been reports of new
strikes on the outskirts of the
ukrainian capital kyiv and also
explosions have been heard in the
western city of levive
and in the last hour the russian foreign
ministry has said that it's banning the
british prime minister boris johnson as
well as other senior ministers from
entering russia over the uk's hostile
stance on the war in ukraine. once one of russia's most
prized warships now the moskva lies at
the bottom of the black sea it's a huge
blow to the country and its naval. power
ukraine claimed it hit the cruiser with
two missiles russia denied this saying
an explosion on board caused it to sink
the country held a ceremony to mourn its loss
for ukrainians .the sinking of the
warship is a morale boost many have
queued to buy this stamp showing a
ukrainian border guard defiantly
standing up to the vessel
but there have already been
repercussions. russia says it hit a
military facility outside the ukrainian
capital an attack seen as retaliation
it's threatened more strikes on kiev. if
ukraine attacks russian territory
the kremlin has also issued a warning tothe united states and its allies
saying supplying further arms to ukraine would add fuel to the conflict and could lead to unpredictable
consequences. but president zielenski has issued another call for world leaders to
back the ukrainian effort with weapons. if someone says a year or years i answer
you can make the war much shorter the
more weapons we get and the sooner we
get all the weapons we have requested
the stronger opposition will be and the
sooner peace will come
he's also warned the world should be
ready for a possible russian nuclear or
chemical attack speaking on cnn he said
russia could do it because people's
lives meant nothing to
moscow as the fighting continues so too
does the grim task of recovering those
who've been killed in the war
ukrainian police say they found the
bodies of 900 civilians in the region
around kiev. the capital remains a target and there
are fears there could be fresh attacks
in and around it in the coming days

well our correspondent dan johnson is in la vie and he gave me more detail about
those overnight strikes. yeah explosions reported in one of the
suburbs on the edge of kiev the mayor of the city says that emergency teams are responding to that blast we don't have any confirmation yet of exactly homuch damage has been done whether there are
any injuries or loss of life .there there
was also an air raid attack on leviev
last night on this city we're told by
local officials that two russian jets
launched an attack having flown from
belarus apparently four missiles were
fired at targets in la vie but they were
shot down by ukrainian air defenses it's a reminder to people here that even though they're hundreds of miles from the really intense fighting in the east of ukraine. there are still risks and russia had threatened renewed attacks
it said in response to ukrainian
helicopters firing on villages over the
border in russia itself the suspicion is that russia is responding to show thatits firepower isn't diminished despitethe flagship of the black sea fleet having sunk to the bottom of the oceanwe also have that warning from vladimir putin which was messaged to the americans earlier this week that if they continue to supply weapons to ukraine there could be unintended consequences president vladimir zelinsky has talked about the potential for russia to launch chemical weapons attacks and potentially nuclear attacks as well. but it was after that message was sent to the americans that they announced further supplies
would be sent to reinforce the ukrainian resistance in expectation of those even greater battles to come in the east of the country but right across ukraine renewed strikes further air raid warnings and nervousness for people in this country.
