this one, so we're just trying to think about some future, but you know, after this sucks immediately, you can destroy this one from your mind. that must be a difficult situation on data time wishing you all the best phillips soul of the chunk of the way cross in odessa. thank you, and stay safe as well. thank you very much. here's a quick look now at some of the other stories related to the war we've been following for you. ukrainian troops have re taken control of the and tone of airport close to the capital kiva. after pushing back russian forces, the wreckage of the world's largest cargo airplane was found in one of the hangers, severely damaged military equipment was also left behind. more than 200 people were arrested in cities across russia during protest against the war with ukraine on saturday. that's according to a group monitoring political detention in the country. demonstrations continue despite the harsh penalties imposed by the government for what it considers to be

the discrediting of its armed forces. russia gas is no longer flowing into life via stony and lithuania. the baltic states have stopped in ports and lithuanian president has called on other you countries to do the same. but germany and other nations are still buying russian energy rushes gas industry has been excluded from the sanctions on the country. people in hungry are heading to the polls to vote in an election seen as key to its future direction. it's expected to be the tightest election race in more than a decade. voters are choosing between national as prime minister victor orbit. and a coalition of 6 opposition parties, the groups have little in common, other than a shared goal to oust the long term prime minister, or ban of the right wing she. dest party is seeking a 4th consecutive term, and has served 12 years in office. d w, correspond funny for char is in budapest,

force a funny. this election in hungary has been called the most important in a generation. does that sound right to you? it is most important in terms of what you have on that a bell, at least today. you don't only have the government who wants to be reelected in a few opposition parties who would like to enter parliament, but you have an alliance of various opposition parties who came together to alex prime, the civic to albany. now you see behind me, long use forming people who want to cast their ballots even though compared to the numbers from 4 years ago. at this time they already higher when it comes to voter participation. and this is exactly what actually the opposition hopes for the opposition alliance from left to right. that more people turn out to cast a ballot, hopefully, then this may increase their chances of winning because if you look at the pools, nano of the post the was far has a sad that the opposition allies is going to win. but rather the forecast a very,

very tight ratio. so everything is up in the air, still an unpredictable who is going to win. all these ballast have been cast and counted to nice and funny for the 1st time. 6 parties from the left and right have formed this desperate opposition force hoping to prevent or been from getting reelected. what are their chances in any action, there's a chance for every party. however, when you zoom in on the situation of hungary and the hungarian media situation as well, if you look at the budget to that, the hungarian government had and has it to you to booster campaign compared to the fraction that the opposition party sat in that regard observer say that already the lead up to this election wasn't really very just something that prime is civic to albany was asked about after casting his ballad this morning. he says, no, that's not the case. it's a very fair election. so that's one way of looking at it just really healthy or is

it even before people come to make a decision here how. * well, they could actually be informed on the various arguments that are here on display, both from the government and from the opposition parties. but once again, if you look at those poles and people here who want to believe that your position parties do have a chance to win today, the alliance does have a chance to win today did do not really want to consider those balls. because as i say, all of them, even though some with a narrow margin, one of them actually forecasting a bigger margin for the government. but all of the bottom line forecasts the prime is to victor o bonds. fetus bond is going to win for a 4 consecutive term. we will have to see if that's the case. and just to final question, if i may about the inevitable, you know, she a political situation, the war next door, victor or burn is seen as a soulmate of russian president vladimir putin and has been proud of that friendship miss campaign. however, saying he can keep his nation out of the ukraine war has that relationship

a personal relationship, hurt him or helped him or had no effect? defense really, which voter you ask if you got the if you look at the pools, it definitely didn't hurt him according to pause. in fact, those people who really i like like are or bond for the very fact that he has such a close economic partnership with a put in. they expect him not to say anything personally, against russia or pooty, and, and describe in as a, as an aggressor. why the opposition and people who are undecided would like him to have a much stronger stance against someone who we just threw it in a report before. it's a basically a committing atrocities right now in ukraine and really people asking themselves, you're hungry. those who do not want to vote for a primary civic to all, but why he's not taking a much stronger stance. so yes, a lot will come down to the political narrative right now. what's happening in the neighboring country in ukraine?

thank you. funny, it'll certainly be interesting to see how d images play out in the minds of the hungarian voters today. thanks for that. update from budapest, serbians are going to the pools for presidential and parliamentary elections taking place under the shadow of the invasion of ukraine. president alexander, of which it is on course to win a 2nd term in the largely pro russian country. but his balancing act with a european union may become increasingly complicated after the vote did have your correspondent jack parrot is in belgrade and sent us this report. 5 years the president alexander v church is expecting to retain his office during the elections. here in serbia. under his leadership, serbia has remained the only european country to resist imposing sanctions on russia over the invasion of ukraine. the pro russian stance is shared by future political opponents, including conservative presidential candidate milosevic passing by the most
