but many of these 23 soldiers don't have relatives here to move there on the other side of the front line. their comrades stand, god paying a fine. the tribute this a yeah. yeah. purplish ro, chest or the domino or join. the shooter recently is an honor for me. as part of my family and stay, the mom was snatched away from our military family. we are very deeply her. we feel emotional huffy. he gave his life for our country. may he rest in peace? he will always be remembered. may god take him to a better place because it's a holy deed. when one sacrifices himself for his country together with his motto. yeah. oh, it's the last family they had. oh, priests say the final pres. and coffins are taken on their final journey, far from the soldier's homes. with no certainty, their parents,

siblings or partners will ever get to visit their final resting place. although we should just do not sir, or her. just because we've got the most wealthy soldiers fell at the battle of vol navarro. most of them were brought here from their unfortunately, some of them were very young. i'm sorry, this is very difficult to me, but very young men have died while protecting ukraine. protecting all of us the war in the east is fierce and the russians appeared to be slowly but surely grinding the ukrainians. gang with ukrainian forces continued to resist. russian artillery has pounded the 2nd largest city club cave and the port city of mary upon the freezing graveyard of denise pro far from killing the will to resist losses on the battlefield. further fused, the anger was neither to build up. wants to bolster ticket booster,

or we can think of his revenge, revenge avenging our men. this gives us motivation to protect our country. it's the only way the conflict in the east has been going on since invasion of crimean 2014. an estimated 14000 people have been killed. these latest casualties, a sense of recent russian basia. this graveyard is full of young men that have died from this conflict, but the reality is, as long as this war goes on, more will follow. as that bag i'll jazeera, the negro i ukraine's president vladimir n scares, criticized russia for, glorifying the invasion. with a large rally on friday, the landscape said it's in everyone's interest to begin meaningful peace talks to avoid high losses in the war. just over 80 must have just, this is the time to meet. this is the time to speak time to restore territorial

integrity and fairness for ukraine. otherwise, the losses of russia will be such that you won't have any resources to get up after that, we'll have to say today in russia, they celebrate the annexation of crimea. i would like to highlight one detail. they reported that overall there were 200000 people participating, 100000 outside and approximately 95000 in the stadium. this is the exact number of the russian manpower involved in the invasion of ukraine, 14000 dead bodies, and hundreds of thousands of wounded. this is the exact number of russian forces during this war. this is the price and just over 3 weeks, 1st of william, that's cat, more from iran con. now he joins us live from the capital kids. so him robin hearing ha, how the rush, the ukrainian president is calling for more talks. will that have been talks going on? is there a concern? is there a fear that the talks might break down?

well every word the laudermill zalinski says is picked over obviously is just the nature of these things. and there's actually a little bit of confusion right now as to what he meant by this latest statement. did he or was he encouraging the talks to keep going on? was he encouraging the talks to continue? or was this a much more frustrated statement asking for more talks lots of people kind of divided on what he meant that talks have been going on. in the last few days, there has been a disconnect between the public statement and the problem statement. and the russians, the russians, even a go shaping a very much a big picture thing. they want the lens of the sanctions due to the war in ukraine . they want a demilitarization of the re, cranium forces. he armed forces much more along the lines of a swedish or not stream model that you're quoting. however, there's a very clear demand from the ukrainians who say, leave our territory, stop occupying alons, stop bombing up people, and withdraw. and then we can have

a serious talk about bigger future issues in a spot 3 days ago when we were in the 2nd day of this 4th round of towards or it was alleged that they gone down to subcommittees, which meant i were talking about the nitty gritty however, we haven't heard anything since then, so we're a bit concerned of ukrainians. are a bit concerned about the way the talks are going and bloody may zalinski statement today is like i say being picked over, was it an encouragement to keep talking or was our frustration that the folks weren't going as well as, wow, and meanwhile we've been hearing about reports about how the russian forces are being re stocks. how nervous are people in the capital about a renewed push for keith? well the last few days we've witnessed the attacks against residential blocks in the building as our residential blocks and buildings or that that housing civilians, ukrainians here in the city incredibly nervous. actually i have to say people

didn't quite believe that their blocks, their houses, civilian targets would be or it, they had been hit. now a lot of people living in the outskirts room, this city is about 50 percent empty. people living in the outskirts are in the north, in the southeast, near where those front lines are, are actually sleeping now in their corridors are not sleeping in their rooms anymore cuz i've seen the damage that's taken place. there was a security briefing that we went to yesterday or from one of the senior military people here in cave. he was saying that look, ah, we are aware of these attacks we're trying to figure out or if there's a pattern that doesn't seem to be a matter to the attacks are taking place. it just seems to be chaotic shelling ah, but i did push him on the idea. how was this a precursor to warn you wouldn't be drawn on that for we have spoken to military and others who suggest that the they rockets on the shelling that's coming in is

a way of testing ukrainians. ukrainian air defense systems, perhaps for a big push into the capitol in the coming weeks in the coming days. all right, thanks so much im non con there. now, as we mentioned, russian president vladimir putin has praised the war and ukraine as a success. he appeared before large crowds gathered to celebrate 8 years since russia annexed crimea. burnet smith reports from moscow. ah, this was a powerful show of patriotism. in moscow, russia's biggest stadium was filled to its 81000 capacity to celebrate 8 years since the annexation of crimea, or as it's called here, the re unification. and everywhere the said, the sign, the 1st appeared on russian military vehicles in ukraine, and has now become a symbol of support for russia's war. then it was a stage set for vladimir putin who told the crowd that the united states is using

ukraine to threaten russia. is that the soldiers fighting their illustrated russian unity, bleacher beecham, shoulder to shoulder. they help each other support each other i easily. and when needed, they shield each other from bullets with their bodies like brothers. pretty good such unity we have not had for a long time. napoleon, a survey after the 1st week of the war, showed that what the kremlin calls its special operation in ukraine. we supported by 58 percent of russians. there have been attempts to protest against the war, but they are quickly, often brutally suppressed. but others are finding ways to voice their opposition, such as this art group called party of the dead, protesting somewhere in russia. we've heard, he shifters, if you are young very mean we are practically living on a war footing. there's no way for it not to affect us any more. we have to fight this war, and those were stoking it for keeping it going and are prepared to take it to some

catastrophic finale that show of descent won't get covered by russian television, but friday's flag waving in moscow. another city's will, though you won't hear that ukraine says it's fighting for survival of the west. dismiss his accusations that it wants to rip russia apart. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow. while still i had an al jazeera, we meet some of the russians who fled their country, the start, a new life in turkey, plus out tensions about the war and ukraine could threaten collaboration on the international space station. ah, how i we got some lovely weather shaping up across northern parts of europe over the next couple of days. lost a clear skies. we have got a high pressure in charged alex is the lead on the atmosphere. so even though they
