are open for type a control problem entry and local elections. long time lead alexander to contain code placed his vote at a public station in the capital means way he can fund his intention to run again for president. next year. thousands of on position bodies have been denied registration for today's ballad, one opposition leader in exile has urged voters to blank on the head, full parties which support lucas shank. those policies have been granted. official registration. alexander lucas and co signs new agreements with his master flooded may boots in the war, and ukraine has seen him seek even close. the ties with the kremlin, like boots in look, the same type of traces. country as being on the siege uses but west of plugged into seas power during the elections due to courtney for us. this is not an easy time on that as you can see, things i call over here and i'm sure we can prepare for the elections and then hold

them just as com. lady told me to me, to please, to ensure that look a shame kind of has stepped up his crack down on this end. the only safe place to protest is abroad, like a neighboring left you a and e, a in bill or was right now, that is a political prison. this house in coming to kid on the lives of go. i spoke to each marshal, colleagues, think a lot of these be asking my husband, said he and all this on now, on the direct threats. we don't even know if the life is constrained, co has ruled by the roost, affinity, 30 years or true opposition. parties have been dissolved only candidates who support the regime are allowed to run for office elections who have become just a vigil for the last time bella roost went to the post, was in august 2020 look a shane co secure to 6 times in a boat the opposition said was the shop. it triggered

a wave of protests and ability to crack down. more than 35000 people were arrested in these parliamentary elections the results. oh, so you see a full gone conclusion the i'm, you know, and his health as opposed to when it's under the constraint, i will respond isabella ross and know position veto says on it. so you can know sky is calling for a boy called a chief, political advisor joins us find out. gotcha. ok. welcome to d. w. use you've called the elections a foss. so what can we actually expect from them or nothing, nothing. you look for a couple of tried to use these selections to legitimize himself, to show that the page has store and that everything is normalized that people are going to vote. but we see something different. we said the minute, the reparation. there are police gauging vs every polling stations we see must have

arrests every day taking place. and the we see extremely unrealistic door now to that official central term commission is showing which is not true because foldable const patients are empty. basically, for the question kate's at the task before 2025 presidential elections, you want to make sure that the 2020 protest will not repeat. he's afraid of people . he's afraid of mass on the rest. and he's statements today basically proves he's the fragility. and also those massive crackdowns on the drug tests of 2020 we'll. so what stage is the opposition in today right now. so a lot of channels can created, then the government and example united transitional cabinet. and she's leading the resistance movement inside the country and delivery san exam. the last 4 of the trying to mobilize support for ukraine, support them on the ground movement inside the country. yesterday, that was impressive. the fact you had came at talk on that there were some screens

uh uh, advertising commercial screenful over bill it. it was 2000 screens. we're showing the bonus address to be able to send people and for 2 hours to christian cause the region was not able to switch it off. and basically we are making the sample dash x to show the 3 jimmy's week and the resume is not able to control the situation. and to find the license side nomenklatura. so when the window of opportunity opened, so they will be on our site. but how much support would you say a secret australia has in the country? or i think more than the false believers population will vote for her again. but her promise in blankets bent, it was very simple. i promised to come until you free and fair elections. so she did not fulfilled her monday yet about she promised to step down immediately after it happens. but i think many people support her activities to advocate the interest

of deliver send people that role tried. now, there are many people who joined the movement off to 2020 because they believe that's a long term. ok to the right person to lead the country about the there are no independent polls. so it's difficult to assess. but the behavior focus shrink of shows that she is very afraid of her, and all the criminal cases against her husband, against her support there's against supply, the tunnels. get herself showed that he sees the most because he's made an opponent, isn't going to be able to keep her away. he would love to destroy, to get net, to ask you did with her mind for the same age in 2021. by hijacking the airplane, she would like to destroy her, but you know, she's on your piano union. 33. she's not easily accessible to him. so he's trying to describe it for through informational and for media. all the propaganda works against her. but i don't think she will stop her. now. he keeps said her husband

dies a later than when you called a mote. i'm trying to break her psychologically, but i am every day was atlanta and she's very strong. she's very brave. and they don't single impression could, will manage to still curve to from doing what she's doing right now. the chief political advisor found out the actual care of the officer, somebody to enact software. it's on a tick i'll sky. thank you very much for joining us. see you. thank you. some back to our top story presidents, the landscape. i think the 31000 ukrainian soldiers have died in the war with russia. nick connelly joins us from keith, bring us up to date and bring that a secret for us into perspective. well this really is a big deal with the 1st time we've had a number like this from present valencia. we had heard from a top generals back in the 1st day of the world, a suspect then spoke about 9000 sets. and we're now seeing the further on this will,

this number has to be said significantly lower than the estimates we've heard from . the u. s. government been on names us sofas, of course, in the new york times last year that has spoken to about $70000.00 estimates, it's fatalities amongst the brand. you know me. and there's a more about, over a 100000 on the russian side was logical, given that attack is obviously much more received in defense. and he didn't say anything about the number of a casualty in terms of people wounded or more importantly, people who are missing in action. there is speculation here. they could be those people who have actually died, but just haven't been recovered. their body suddenly recovered. so they know that official number, so it's, it's an official number according to the landscape of maybe not a realistic numbers have what you say. one of the complaint number, it's the same situation with civilian casualties. we have around 10000 civilian casualties, consent, but that's not including people who were killed in russia by territory is body's not accessible. human rights most recently came out with their full saying that an estimated and 8000 people. that's

a conservative estimate. the civilians were killed in mario for a loan that's just based on their analysis of satellite pictures of mass graves. so i think these numbers are likes to rise easily. we just don't care about confirmed death right now. is it lensky sounded confident that western support. uh will come, especially from the u. s. does he have enough ground for such confidence? well, he into the fact that he was expecting finally the us to agree to sending lowering as wesson's. we've already had video. okay. and from sending the scouts will still set themselves are made. a big difference is a cruise themselves are being used protect extensive targets in crimea for instance . and now the americans maybe sending weapons that can have a $300.00 comb with the range. and then the hope would be that germany would use that as a kind of to, to send its own powers themselves, which have long been requested by the great inside my colleague, county and somewhere else that question as a landscape light that he was hoping that has the tanks where the americans made the 1st move and then the germans follow through afterwards. the same would be now

be a distraction before themselves and have a longer range and unable ukraine to hit target for their way. and let's toothpaste . nick, tell us more about this spring p summit. that's the landscape mentioned. we've had the brush. i could also joy. i wouldn't be too optimistic about seeing a russian presence at that summit. i think some more important look at this as a kind of diplomatic offer by ukraine, especially as the global sales, the countries that aren't quite so sure they're supposed to be writing as of the case with most european or north american countries. it's about saying that ukraine is open space is not and fighting for the sake of it that ukraine is protecting its very existence. that's what this is about. there was a kind of comment from zaleski where you basically apply that push. it would be welcome if he was willing to admit that this would be an awful mistake and basically apologize and pay compensation and basically give back all the occupied territory. i think the chances that are pretty low for now, but this is about your grade engaging with the wider world and not just focusing on that kind of unusual candidates in europe and america. okay,

so in the invitation of types, dw corresponded. connelly reporting from keith of the look now at some of the other stories making headlines. polish farmers have blocked a major highway on the countries border with germany, the latest protest against the e. u. of where it's a good cultural policies on this, i think protesting across europe, over government subsidies, environmental regulations and inputs from outside the block come to us is able massively increase output from the world's biggest natural gas field. the countries energy minister said capacity would be brad pump at the north field, west side to meet solar and global demand for liquefied natural gas. talk a little bit about your u. s. and u. k. launched fresh air strikes on the hoody rebel group in yemen. 20 bein said, strikes if the capital son of us and u. k. have conduct the numerous strikes since the start of this year in response to booty attacks on ships passing through the red sea officials for me as well. and

a framework now the details or of course the noun, but this talk about a phase release of hostages up to 40 in the 1st space and exchange for posting in a prison. this. but again, you know, the, the starting points are from which we are seeing how much as a us for a complete hold or cessation of hostilities and into the war. and complete withdrawal of is really a for says this had been rejected by israel. but you heard also the is ready national security adviser to hear next be talking on saturday night, but he says there's room for maneuvering for moving forward. so it's still to see whether this framework will work out this time. you're watching the dw news and look at our top story. ukraine's president lot of mr. lansky has revealed that 131000 ukrainian soldiers have been killed, finding russian forces, i think, a well below russian claims and us estimates of next on dw
