A year after the start of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, return to Izioum, a martyr city in the east of the country, 80% destroyed by six months of Russian occupation. Izioum tastes very little of its regained freedom, so slow is the reconstruction, as if the city was still paralyzed by what it experienced. A report by our special correspondent in Ukraine Céline Galipeau.

In Ukraine, the Russian offensive is concentrated mainly in the east. But the whole country fears a larger attack, a few days before the first anniversary of the invasion. This fear, a city in the suburbs of kyiv feels it in its flesh: Irpin, a city occupied in the first days of the Russian invasion. She endured a hellish month of bombings, executions, rapes, before the Russians were forced to retreat. Today, its inhabitants, still in shock, live in fear of seeing the return of Russian soldiers. And as our special correspondent Céline Galipeau has noted, even if the city tries to regain some semblance of normal life, the road to reconstruction will be long.
Irpin, bruised city. The report of our special correspondent in Ukraine Céline Galipeau.
As Moscow continues to strike at energy infrastructure, the Russians are also trying to retake the eastern city of Bakhmout. A victory that would have symbolic value for them after several military setbacks. They've been bombing the city for months. More than 90% of the population has already fled. Report by Marie-Eve Bédard.

From the start of the war in Ukraine, the city of Kherson was surrounded and then occupied by Russian forces. But now that the Russian soldiers have entrenched themselves on the other side of the river, we discover the essential role that simple civilians played at the risk of their lives and in the greatest secrecy to ensure the reconquest of the city by the Ukrainian forces.

Russia calls on the international community to condemn the dismantling of Soviet monuments in the Baltic countries. A report by Tamara Altéresco.
The Soviet monument honoring Ukrainian-Russian friendship was dismantled in kyiv on Tuesday evening. Tamara Alteresco's report.
To counter this increasingly intense Kremlin propaganda, the independent press went into exile. She struggles to be heard in Russia. The vast majority settled in neighboring Baltic countries, free from censorship and repression. This is the case of the independent television channel Dozhd, which has resumed its activities and which today manages to reach millions of Russians, in the hope of exposing them to the truth. But informing a population practically indoctrinated by Vladimir Putin's media machine is a colossal challenge. Our special correspondent Tamara Altéresco is in Riga, Latvia.

Canada will send additional military hardware and winter equipment to support Ukraine. France will deliver anti-aircraft defense systems, like other allied countries. As seen in recent days, Russia has resumed its massive strikes on Ukrainian cities, killing civilians; even Kyiv, the capital, was targeted. Faced with barely veiled threats from Vladimir Putin, everyone fears a nuclear attack. Here is what our special correspondent Marie-Eve Bédard found in Kiev.
kyiv's city center still bears the scars of the most recent Russian bombings.
Volodymyr Zelensky virtually attended a G7 meeting. He called for more weapons to ensure the air defense of Ukraine. G7 leaders, including Justin Trudeau, have denounced the strikes on a scale not seen in months, carried out against civilian infrastructure by Russia in the past two days. War crimes, they say.

< p class="e-p">The yellow and blue flag is flying again in the Luhansk region liberated by Ukrainian forces which continue to regain ground, after inroads in the south of the country, in Kherson and in the northeast in Kharkiv. Despite these setbacks, Vladimir Putin still formalized today the annexation of the four Ukrainian territories where referendums were held. Marie Eve Bédard and Paul André St-Onge Fleurent were able to travel to the devastated town of Lyman, an important railway junction occupied for four months by the Russians and where the reconquest was long and violent.

On the ground, we continue to discover the horrors committed in the areas that have just been liberated in the east of the country. Evidence of possible war crimes is mounting once again. Our special correspondent Marie-Eve Bédard went to the city of Izioum where despite everything, in the ruins, she found an incredible story of solidarity.
The question now is whether the arrival of new Russian troops in Ukraine will further prolong a conflict that is already very deadly? On the ground, in any case, we continue to discover horrors committed in the zones which have just been liberated in the east of the country. Evidence of possible war crimes is once again mounting. Our special correspondent Marie-Eve Bédard went to the town of Izioum, where she collected very disturbing testimonies.
Despite advances in northeastern Ukraine, part of the country's south, from Crimea to Kherson, is still under Russian occupation. The counter-offensive led by the forces of kyiv proceeds more slowly, but it remains crucial to block the road to the Russians towards Odessa. This strategic city on the Black Sea which is also the cultural and architectural jewel of Ukraine. The city has been bombed several times since the beginning of the Russian invasion and it is feared to be Vladimir Putin's ultimate target. As our special correspondent Tamara Alteresco reports, Odessa stands tall with boldness and composure.
Odessa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater is the oldest theater in the city.

Russians retreat in Ukraine. Is this a turning point in the war? We find, on the ground, our special correspondent Tamara Alteresco.
After 200 days of war, the tide seems to be turning in Ukraine. kyiv's counter-offensive, launched earlier this month, is forcing Moscow to retreat to the east of the country. In response, Russian troops are stepping up strikes against civilian infrastructure, including a power plant in Kharkiv, which has plunged the region into darkness this evening. Interview with our special correspondent in Ukraine, Tamara Altéresco.
Ukrainian first responders attempt to control a fire at a Kharkiv power plant on Sunday, September 11 .
The Ukrainian army is still trying to regain lost ground. Officials report progress in Kharkiv, in the east, and in the south, too, the counter-offensive continues. It is in this key region that most of the Ukrainian military resources are located. Tamara Altéresco went to Mikolaiv, where this counter-offensive is being organized and where the population is torn between terror and hope.
We are going this evening to the south of Ukraine, to Mikolaiv, near the front line. It is about thirty kilometers from Kherson, which has been occupied by the Russians since February. The fear of bombs is part of everyday life, as Tamara Alteresco has seen.
After weeks of stagnation, the Ukrainian army launched a counter-offensive on Tuesday to liberate the south of the country. Fighting is intense in the region of Kherson, the first major city captured by the Russians at the start of their invasion. Our special correspondent Tamara Altéresco has arrived in Ukraine, in Odessa, where civilians who have fled the Russian occupation are taking refuge.

100 days have passed since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24. While the scale of the destruction “defies belief”, according to the Red Cross, neither Russia nor Ukraine seem about to give up. Here are the highlights of this terrible conflict.
In Ukraine, even if most of the fighting is now concentrated in the Donbass, in the east, the other regions of the country are not immune. But in Odessa, the inhabitants have an original shelter: the catacombs of the city. A report by our special correspondent Jean-François Bélanger.

Russia carried out a rare attack on the backbone of Ukraine. Six strikes targeting the rail network, including one in Krasne, in the west of the country. The objective is to hinder the delivery of arms and food to the Ukrainian forces who are standing up to the Russian assault in the Donbass.
