the shells were flying and scared for my grandchildren. and my children look i, we were told that we had to leave very quickly, my husband, son and daughter, all state that everyone has their own household to look after their own job to go to. unless you thought that this situation started back in 2014 and then my son became disabled. my daughter in law died and one year old grandson received a head injury. of course, we are now very, very afraid. neither shall yet, as i say the, the situation is on the raises edge of them. and we've also, we've also seen our correspondence from our arabic says the channel come under fire yesterday while visiting an area near the front lines. a town that was shelled by ukrainian troops over the over the course of the last the week or so. we also heard from a foreign journalism c, n n a p, saying that they will shell on the other side of the conflict live on the ukrainian side. so suddenly she's for violations of being registered for both in the breakaway republics. and on the ukrainian side of the conflict

i had the shelling through the whole night. if the local school was shelled that was gary . my children live in crimea, not my daughter, often calls me and tells me to come to where she lives. there wasn't really was tomorrow i will leave work and go to my daughter, which condition me. and it isn't confined to any one place. this escalation tore through entire regions in le ganske and a parent car bombing targeting a separatist official engaged in sees var monitoring and compliance in the netscape to schools hit by mortar rounds. amid the barrage of shelling by the ukrainian military liberty with no staff needed to be at school by 8 am, i got a call at 3 24 am and was told that there had been a massive explosion there. i could not go to the scene of the accident right away because of the shelling we at 7 am. we found 4 classrooms had been destroyed and around $65.00 windows of the facade and the roof were also damaged. i understand that 2 shells landed on the building, does not seen in towns, villages, and cities across east than ukraine. fear permeates everywhere. people tr

i was just shell landed in the yard of the neighboring house, but it didn't go. uh huh. not great since the very beginning of the war. there'd been no black with me. no. and now right at the end of the war. oh, this tragedy has stronger. sway me right at the start of the war and i decided to stay and don't get sick. and i will not leave it. i will stay here and protect my territory as the shock of my give as it now doesn't ask is quite a large sissy answer. many of its outskirts are right there on the front line. we're a heavy artillery. do also continue and many of the local residents so were forced to hide in a bomb shelter as well. it's nothing for them to get used to because that's been going on for 8 years already, but a lot of civilian infrastructure was damaged as well, like a water pumping plans like a power station. so many of the residents in done ask and in settlements just outside of the city right now have no access to a drink in water or electricity. rahman rushers, defense ministry is announcing that a militias from the break away republics, however libera

they've been facing shelling an attacks. they have been ongoing a situation in the country where their rights have not been protected. and furthermore, the men's agreements have not been implemented. ukraine has not implemented the men's agreements. uminski agreement was signed at 2015, but yet it has not been implemented. they went on to point out that this minsk agreement, that was to protect the people of these regions. it hasn't been followed through with now. and the idea that russia is responsible for that is simply inaccurate as russia is not obligated under the men's agreements, they're not part of the mental agreements. there was no expectation on russia itself to fulfill those agreements. now, russia went on to talk about how the leaders of the united states and the west need to try and restrain the government in keo. because if the government and key is to move ahead and to, to escalate this situation and continue shelling the eastern regions to attack, you know, that could lead to more serious consequences. and t

a republic was a shell as well. it was all happening on the front line. the representative of the people's militia of the self proclaimed people's republic says that the ukraine is at ready for a full scale war. he just on the friday night there was a blast, right in the center of the city, one, a car was blowing up a car belonging to the head of the peoples militia. when i arrived on the scene, there were engineers working. there were other cars, a park nearby and we had to be very careful a while working there. also it's a center of the city, of course, a lot of 1st civilians are walking around but so thankfully no one was heard. also what we're getting from the local press service, a power station, the and a water pumping plans were all sold damaged by shelley. and as the results are nearly 2000000 people are now left without any water supplies. and those people live in 40 sounds on both sides of the conflict. nevertheless, the leaders of both the republics have announced mobilization off armed forces in both republics. i'm actually standing outside o,

we have shelling every day. you can hear it now. i've just come down to check that it hasn't scared the fish away. this is one of a number of destroyed homes in the village. i think 70 year old svetlana whose home was damaged by shelling in december describes what some nights are like. oh, village shadow. decoy, much of the sort of new the fireballs, this big fly over houses. and i see they pass our windows lighting the room with the explosions are so loud on the drive home. sudden and terrifying lasts hidden ukrainian, artillery fires shells towards separatist held territory. what do you crane, an army say is defensive action against the russian back threat just over the hills . charged for al jazeera, grinning their easton ukraine. ida adel, i mean, is life for sound come at tolorisk in easton, ukraine's daniel region. tell us more about his plans for a state of emergency honda. what would it involve? what is the 1st step will be for that to be ratified by parliament. it has 48 hours to do that, so he expects it to happen on thurs

i understand in the shelling matinees. i survey yes, the village offices side of our it's located near the town of fall of k. it's about an hour and a half away drive from the city all for generic. now the village of zyden, i had seen quite a lot of shilling of the last 8 years and that's because the village is divided in half and the front line goes right through the village. half of it is on the ukrainian territory, and the other half is on the territory of the self proclaimed genetics people's republic. our crew headed by a mock seam altieri was there earlier to talk to film or what's happening in the village, and about the lives of people that remains in that village. and once they were there, while they were filming out the area, once again came under a mortar fire. from what i understand. after talking to some locals, there were $82.00 millimeter mortars. thankfully, the crew didn't come under fire, it was right around them, and they quickly got their things and left the area safe and sound, of course, where we, they

of shelling on ukrainian villages. we have less information from the other side. right? so very where you are in the east of ukraine. that's a place where the fighting and never really stop to our people. they're afraid of a wider russian invasion. people here are afraid of an escalation of an intensifying of fighting here. as you said, it has never stopped it. there has been fighting for 8 years, although i believe my ears were in place and they were respected at times. they were violated only slightly. and now we are seeing this escalation, that prospect of a wider invasion that would include many other parts of ukraine. they would, for example, include an incursion or from the north or onto kia, for example. that is something of course, people in other parts of ukraine are worried about. however, the worries here in ukraine do not match the international warnings. the ukrainian government has sad once again that they do not see preparations on the russian side for a full scale invasion arm. and are the people are ju

so shelling from the ukrainian side and from the self proclaimed all at the now recognised republic of lugens. nevertheless, the operation, the offensive that they have launched this morning following, following a very sustained, very loud and very sustained artillery shelling campaign this morning at the, the operation they say is progressing according to plan. they say they have penetrated 3 kilometers into, into ukrainian lines more i believe on that than yet. side just south of us. nevertheless, the frontline stretches for the hundreds of kilometers and we haven't been able to to get close to the front lines. we have in thought back because of the dangerous situation that as we were told, nevertheless, across you crave as a whole. this has been a chaotic day. a complete surprise for every one we saw russian 9 units. russian forces launch caliber cruise missiles at various military installations. the for the ministry of defense came out and said it themselves that they lodged precision strikes against ukrainian military infrastructure against air defense sites, as well as against ai

at the moment, as you save is the shelling and it to be fair. the o. s. c says is happening on both sides of the com site line. it's not just one side to make that clear. but it's the 1st step to get some sort of sci fi there. if so, what sort of price you should be placed on key f? well, i mean there's been efforts to have a ceasefire for the last, whatever is 7 years. i'm not so sure. i don't know what pressure should be put on kia. i mean, a lot of certainly from the ukrainian perspective, they're reacting defensively. the shelling that's coming from the shepherdess regions, i suppose shepherdess russia has a different view to maine. the best way to resolve this would be to have the leaders of countries that are interested in this obviously is a landscape president biden ivy. the germans being the european countries that are most directly affected, which would be germany and france. so being the closest as well as forest johnson. there's some way that these leaders of, you know, the major countries in the west can try to find resolve the way to resolve

the coolest, sane is heavy shelling. why are they shelling? i'm not afraid, but you couldn't leave me alone. i can barely walk. my wife is scared. she came on the heavy shelling. will you? yeah, i wouldn't have left. i stayed there in 2016. not leaving york. yeah. when you were here here. i wouldn't have left. i'm not afraid of anything. it's all the same to me. i'm used to it. i was a soldier in the past. i'm used to it. but her now she is shaking the stuttering cuff dish. when were you? if i were healthy, i would have joined the militia right behind me. you can see the sheer number of the vacuum use that are waiting to get into just this area. told me one of many spread across the russian region of ross. earlier i spoke to a staff member here. she said that already since yesterday, 500 evacuated from the don boss region have arrived and have settled here. and this is the temporary settlement cafeteria i already 10, 15 in the morning and breakfast is coming to a close. so you can't see too many people behind me, but for hours already, the sta

that's up from 84 incidents of shelling just a day before. so there's an increase of violence, again to have been hundreds and hundreds of of sci fi violations. actually, that have been reported already last week by o. s. c. and it seems that the situation is likely to, unfortunately worse and before if there is actually any form of a resolution at all in the situation in the mean time, unfortunately, civilians on both sides are going to have to be at the bronze for this. the kid is not mobilizing its entire military at this point, i understand what it is calling up reservists for its armed forces. how are people that are reacting to that funny their concern on one hand, of course, because that truly singles to them that more is likely to come even many people he and keith that i've spoken to a week ago, a know a changing their opinion just before they said an assault and key f unlikely and now with everything that's escalating and entering a new face of a violence also at the boot as we have just pointed out, add that to alive the separatist

massive shelling from the armaments from the minsk agreement. it is important to allow for the observers to admit that they are being threatened, and they are scared. all humanitarian questions are being rokita. years ago, i signed into law the unconditional access of humanitarian organizations to the detainees. it was a temporary occupied nature. after the exchange of prisoners, the process has been stalled, although, the ukraine has been sharing the privilege of torches until the notorious -- flat fee. -- latvia recently. in november, the two new process points that we opened it open, putting operation as we see this, and an obstruction. under false pretext, and the ukraine is doing its best to push these discussions their political questions as well. and we have made proposals and drafts of law, but everything is broken, and no one is talking about them. >> the ukraine demands urgently to unblock the negotiation process. at the same time, we are looking for peace and restricted only by that. we are prepared to look for the keys to end the war

it's not a shell. maybe it's an intimidation act as we understand the war is not only at the front line. it's also in the information space. yeah, that was closed. i think it is be a threat to journalists to say there will be further terror attacks against them. now are shelling hearings, anesco hasn't been as the frequency and so the sun came up, however, over the last few days. so there was quite a lot of artillery duels along the front lines. and on tuesday we received a report that says multiple a rocket launchers had been used by the ukranian, a military now around 4 o'clock or this morning from the village of spar talk on the outskirts of the city was a shelled, as well as the result of several houses, a court ugh, were caught on fire and apparently a mortar fire was used by the ukrainian military also cease fire violations had been recorded by the o. s. c, a monitoring mission the here in donors chemical. across the front line. however, ukrainian authorities are denying and he sees far violation
