6:03 pm
init cup in eastern ukraine's don bass region suddenly around this area seen some of the heaviest fighting in the last 48 hours or so. and that was up until this morning. certainly around here. we've heard sporadic shelling in this area. we've been to a village basically the closest bill as you can get to the frontline, ukrainian military advising heavily on us. not going any further. we've met a woman in that village. i suppose. you could really describe it more of a hamlet and 4 or 5 houses. aha, a shell had landed very close to her home. and basically much of the home destroyed . we asked her why she hasn't joined the hundreds of thousands of other people that have left this area. and it's often the same response that you get from people still here, which is literally, i have no where else to go. meanwhile, we understand that there has been shelling in various different places along the
6:04 pm
front line. we can hear stuff going on both to our east and west and the rumbling of what sound like can possibly air strikes, possibly heavy artillery. we cannot confirm either side whether whether it's incoming or outgoing. and interestingly, there is this sense of a renew confidence if you like, in the ukraine and military amongst the ukraine and officials who are saying that there has been, well they describe as an offensive to try or at least repelling the success in repelling russia's move. the russian forces moves on a number of different areas escalade to moscow on to cirrus, dawson's barriers, therefore a store. so within the past few minutes, russia said that it's test launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. or more you hearing about that? yes, we'd heard from the russian defense ministry who said that they've successfully tested
6:05 pm
a new long range intercontinental ballistic missile called this our mats and according to the country's defense minister survey chicago, this test was carried out at 1512 m. rush a time in the country's northern area near finland, and if the test was successful, now this is the latest in, in new series of ballistic missiles that will be replacing at the previous ones that is in rushes missile weapons. and the russian president vladimir putin has since congratulated at the defense minister and he has said that this is sar mata intercontinental ballistic missiles, will reliably insure the security of russia from current threats. and letting me put in also said that it will make those who are trying to threaten russia to think certainly a significant development here as, as the situation in ukraine is currently escalating. and the russian president
6:06 pm
clearly very satisfied with the results that was delivered from the country's defense ministry. now, this intercontinental ballistic missile is apparently a, has a range of up to 18000 kilometers and it will be replacing as the previous one. that was one of the heaviest missiles in the world. it is now going to be the largest and nuclear capable ballistic missile that russia will have in its fleet and an arsenal. and according to the defense ministry, this is this assignment missile will be a part of a ongoing series of tests. and then if, once those tests are completed they um miss al will be replacing what they, he has in their arsenal at this is one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest and ballistic missile in the world that will be joining
6:07 pm
russia's current stockpile dos. as we reported a few months ago, western powers ascending new shipments of heavy weaponry to help ukraine. how does russia view those arms shipments? well i think adrian ad, today's events speak to that a clearly i think it is not a coincidence that this intercontinental ballistic missile was tested on air this day. as the russians have said, the weapons that are pouring into ukraine are a really counterproductive and the western countries that are supplying them are just trying to prolong the conflict that is ongoing. the russian defense minister has said on tuesday that and the weapons that are coming in to ukraine by the western countries, are those with the aim of trying to extend the conflict. and they will continue to do so until the very last ukrainian soldier. we had also understand that last week
6:08 pm
the russian embassy in washington had delivered a hand written note to officials in washington saying that they would be unexpected consequences. should they continue to supply weapons to ukraine. the officials here say that the nearly $2500000000.00 of security assistance that the united states alone has provided to kiev is an example of how the west is using ukraine to further a it can prolong this conflict and to try and de stabilize and we can russia, and i think today's dead test launch of this new inter ballistic missile. and vladimir putin's words clearly speak to how the russians feel. or i tell somebody thinks they don't 0 torso jibari reporting live there from moscow, from the russian capital to the u. s. capital let's esprit to our white house correspondent. kimberly how good, who's in washington dc. kimberly throws more about us plans to provide further

6:10 pm
defense minister. so plenty of opportunity to discuss exactly what is needed, what will be given. but we do know that there have been questions in recent days by reporters about the concern that ukraine is running dangerously low on ammunition. and this is provoked the need for discussion here in the west, as well as other parts of europe that there is this need for our re upping of supplies if you will. so in recent days, the white house, as well as the white house press secretary and the pentagon spokesperson saying that this is something that is being considered. we are expecting an announcement imminently. what will this package look like? the details have not been revealed, but given the fact that the previous package included a small arms as well as ammunition, but also helicopters have v naval drone vessels. we expect that it will be something similar. what we do know is that the u. s. considers this to be vital

but also chancellor of shoals has started yesterday, is not sending heavy weapons now because the government says the military, it doesn't have these weapons. now, germany has been sending lighter and defensive weapons to ukraine, but these have a weapons. they simply don't have. basically, there is this fear behind it that germany doesn't want to be drawn into a war directly with russia. what germany is offering though, is financial assistance. apparently, there is a list of weapons that germany has shown to ukraine in which are ukraine can pick up. the ukranian basset to berlin has said that the weapons, the happy weapons that they really desperately need or not on this list. they have specifically asked for tanks, the 2nd hand lap one tanks have been mentioned and murdered armored vehicles. basically, they are available at the company. the company is that they can prepare them in the next couple of weeks and send them to ukraine. but also the government can san
6:13 pm
tanks now from the military and they will be replaced by this company. but so far, the government has set will not gun assent. this which has led to strong criticism, not only from the ukrainian ambassador here, but also from coalition partner from olaf shoulds the chancellor. the greens and the liberals have actually complained that germany as this very important country in the you, you should do more to help you grain. and that germany is basically isolating itself within europe by did so different stance of 0 stop person reporting life from berlin strip manufacturing. dude, the un says that more than 5000000 people have fled ukraine, but mainly women and children. because men have been ordered to stay behind and fight, or the half of the refugees have ended up in neighboring poland, where the government has given them access to health care and education. the fighting has led to europe's biggest refugee crisis since the 2nd world war. flight, humanly fear of what we cry. we all have the feeling that we've no home. we've no

6:31 pm
a whole war so until the 29th of march in the basement of her house. and when she came out, this is what she found. her whole life reduced absolutely to rubble. and then if you have a little walk around here now the, the, it has been some work to clear out all this area of piles and piles of rubble. but look at this apartment building is quite impressive to see. you can see just one block of the apartment, not there anymore. everything charge. i don't think anyone can come and live here. maybe those buildings will have to be torn down and brought up again. now driving here was about a 2 hour drive from kim. what you do see is pockets of exactly that same scene. civilian targets. oh, houses lives of people completely destroyed and there's no way they could come back and live in this village at least for the foreseeable future. and as i said,

6:34 pm
a practical difference though on, on the ground when, as you say, this offensive on the east is already taking place as we speak. you know, it does require some training, it does require not only, you know, handing over the keys to, to the, the tanks or the arm or vehicles, but also the maintenance that comes along with it. having said that though, it's not learning something new. you know, artillery pieces, you know, you just learned a specific items that you need to learn for, for specific tillery piece. however, in essence, you don't have to read, learn how to use it. so there is some training involved, but it's not impossible. international monetary fund of the war in ukraine is driving a global economic downturn. it's slashed, it's group forecast from 6 point one percent to 3.6 percent this year. on to 0 shop returns the reports for washington. b, i m. s. projections for the world economy have worse and significantly since its last report in january, when it predicted a post pandemic recovery. the reason is,
