been one year since russian president vladimir putin announced the military operation in ukraine, leading to the largest war in europe since world war 2, thousands of people have lost their lives and millions have been displaced since the start of the conflict on the front lines. russia controls much of the territory east to the, to the pro river, but the ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn reclaimed sways of land in the north and the south, including the key city of hassan. now the focus is on the city of back moot which at present, lensky sex has been reduced to ruins by the russian offensive. cha, stratford is in cave and take a look at the key moments from the past year. on february, the 24th 2022 was the 1st wave of russian troops crossed the border. russian missiles struck it past became clear that blood may putin's insistence that he would not invite ukraine, that beat ally. it was

a multi pronged attack quotient forces crossed from ben roussel, advanced towards keith, was a similar push in the northeast. oh, and in the east towards ukraine's 2nd city car cave. at the same time, mainly pro russia separate his forces, a tax of towns in ukrainian controlled areas of don ex ganske, ukrainian president. not yet in his trademark military fatigues, cold for help till november. i had a conversation with you as president joe biden. the u. s. is starting to gather international support. paul planning and brave ukrainian defense quickly scalp at putin's immediate plans to take give the russian army columns will soon bogged down and smashed water. know that a whole wolf, the enemy pretty calculated their communications in logistic needs and their supply warehouses were across the border. this meant that after 2 days there were stopped without fuel, ammunition,
10:04 am
and food. and they lost the effective management of their troops. on the 1st of april, ukraine announced it had recaptured the entire region around cave dead civilians. some with their hands bound behind their backs were discovered seemingly with a hippy shot. russia was accused war crimes. the russian army which ukrainian intelligences had planned on taking control keeping 3 days itself at a story humiliating defeat. in may, after months of intense fighting in the port city of mariel, the last remaining ukrainian fighters surrendered as a star steal plot. but ukraine by now was receiving what would become tens of billions of dollars worth military aid. autumn counter offensive liberated tens of thousands of square kilometers, including the city of care. so watch out the preparations for the counter offensive started in april by june when we had received western weapons,
10:05 am
we were better able to hit their supply lines, command centers, and weapons, and fuel depot. we could also attack the reserve troops as they approached the front line keeps going up. but since december, ukrainian gaines have slowed to a virtual standstill, russia has made small advances in eastern dawn by using what ukrainian forces say waves off the wave of infantry soldiers and mercenaries from the wagner group. some of the heaviest fighting continues around the town of buck moot. where many of the estimated $5000.00 civilians who remained there refused to be evacuated. officials here and here on their western allies, convinced that russia is about to launch what they describe as a spring offensive. more sophisticated weaponry, such as tanks, is on its way from nato countries, but with no end in sight to the fighting. many are asking just how long ukraine's allies can fund this war. despite their lead is saying, it is a flight,
10:06 am
the democracy. they cannot lose. stafford, i'll just 0 here. let's go live, not to the ukraine capital case, where we're joined by saying that the rob is saying we understand presence lensky spoken. what does he have to say? that's right, to mark this anniversary, the ukrainian leader has made a very rousing 15 minute long speech that he's posted on social media. you know, before he became president, he was a media tycoon. he knows how to message, but this speech is very different from what he was saying about a year ago. admitting himself that the last time a year ago when he spoke to people, he spoke for about a minute, he informed people of russia's invasion and he told them to be strong. but we are far away a year later from those selfie videos and the messaging from the president and his leadership from underground bunkers, from the safety of, of underground shelters,
10:07 am
recording celsius really seeming like a government that was caught a little bit off guard by this invasion what we're seeing now is a very polished president, a war time leader who has been tested and who has proven that he can withstand the pressures of an invasion of war in his country, making this speech, calling out for people to remain strong. and really it is, it is very different from what it was a year ago. this is a leader who has, has gone through the hardships of this russian invasion, has pushed back against a larger invading force, has secured resources for his country. and now going into the next war is encouraging people to stay united to stay the course. and he's got the weight of the western world at his back. so it's a very different ukranian leadership than we saw a year ago today. and then, given what he said, then what's the mood on the ground that well,
10:08 am
you know, the word resilient is something that says journalists will have to come up with another word for because it's used over and over again to describe the ukrainian people. and it really is one that fits, we speak to people who say that they really echo the, the resilience of their own leadership. they will stay the course. but they also say that they are feeling everything at the same time. they feel confident, but afraid they feel motivated but exhausted by this war. and they say that they want peace, but they want to redefine what that piece looks like. what piece with russia means they want to redefine, they don't want piece by acquiescing to russian demands. they say they want peace to victory, they want all of their territory back. and they need to do that by getting more weapons from the west faster to end this war quickly. the hope is that it's over shortly after the spring, they do not want to see another year of war. they do not want to celebrate any more war and adversary's for now saying, because we live in key for us. thank you. well,
10:09 am
china has urged moscow and chiva to hold. p stokes is part of a 12 point proposal to end the conflict in ukraine. let's go live now to beijing. we're katrina you joins us now. katrina tells us more about what china is proposing . well, china says its main concern is preventing the war and ukraine from spiraling out of control. and that's according to a 12 point piece. position plan released by time has foreign ministry on friday. and in this document, fading seems to be putting itself forward as a mediator. it says it wants to see a ceasefire and a gradual dis deescalate of the fi saying now china says it's calling for an end to rest and sanctions in russia. and his hold on moscow and key to hold peace talks. the plan calls to the establishment of humanitarian corridors for civilians, as well as steps to ensure grain can be safely exported from the region. it also
10:10 am
warns against the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict, as well as attacks of nuclear power plants. now, since the beginning of russia's invasion of ukraine, bating has said it's a neutral party when it comes to this conflict, but we have seen bating meanwhile, it's how it's so called north limits friendship. we the rush, it keeps on saying at this relationship is only getting stronger. it's called it rock solid since a beat that the beginning of the war in ukraine present. she did thing has spoken to putin personally 3 times and beta has refused to condemn the invasion of frame. conversely, we have seen no chinese official at a high level present. she jenkins himself speak to lensky or any other member of ukrainian leadership. now the united states says that china support of russia is going to go even further that they do is considering supplying rushes with it with weapons. but so far this is something that they deny. my 1st in beijing that katrina, thank q. we're going to stay with this and that's bringing victor gao. he's vice
10:11 am
president at the center for china and globalization. he joins us from basing. welcome to the program. so overall, then how critical do you think is this 12 point proposal from china? festival. what china has proposed is the only viable. ready framework for ending the war being ukraine. now, whether china does the media issue or another country does mediation, that's another issue. so let's separate these 2 things. whereas other countries are prolonging the war, you're praying, leading towards greater em all sufferings of the civilians in ukraine. what china is urging for russia and ukraine to do is to end the war, achieve a cities via and use diplomacy and negotiation to resolve whatever disputes there are between them and restore peace debility development for the ukrainian people.
10:12 am
now of utmost importance is the number one that is being measured that is to respect the united nations charter to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the you are members. for example. this indeed will be the cornerstone of whatever that can be done to try to mediate between these 2 competence as well as laws, countries behind that ukraine, because more or less this war is becoming a proxy war by the united states and metals using u grey as a proxy to achieve its own geopolitical goals against russia. therefore, i am so happy that there is a viable framework for ending the war e o cray. and it takes at least a 2 to tango. and in this particular case, it probably will take many parties to tangle together ending the war and creating restoring peace. you mentioned diplomacy there,
10:13 am
the proposal calls for an end to quote, cold war mentality. what is measuring mean by that? is very obvious that there aren't countries in the world which want to create a new cold war. for example, they tried to separate countries into different blocks, opposed against each other. they emphasized, for example, dividing up countries into groups based on what, not based on fundamental national interests, but based on what they call a values. for example, they forget that there is no common value for mankind. different countries, different nations, different ethnic groups, difference to relations have very different values in dealing with many different things in the world of today. therefore, that the efforts of their separate, separate a separate he will nations into opposing groups is in the sense up creation of
10:14 am
a cold war. and they use confrontation, conflict, or even war to achieve their goal. this is what china is opposed against. and china wants to create a peaceful world where every country is big or small will be respected as equal. we already behind the united nations, we respect the you and charter, for example. whereas the other countries want to differentiate countries based on what they define as values or ideologies. if you do not call it a cold war based on self enclosed ideological differences, what else can you call it? at this cold war will lead the world into an abyss. it will be a load of confrontation conflict, a war in freaking huge damages and deaths to mankind as a whole. ok, victor gal,
10:15 am
thank you very much for joining us. thank you very much for having me. thank you. started nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on russia to withdraw from ukraine. the u. s. ukraine and the you wanted a strong show of unity against russia on anniversary of the invasion for some key nations, abstained, and she had returned see no recalls. this non binding resolution was based on the fundamental principle of the un charter. it is against international law for one member state to invade another ukraine and the you wanted as many member states as possible to vote in favor of their drove a new from recent history that anything more strongly worded would lose support. and the strategy paid off with 141 of the 193 members of the un general assembly voting in favor 7 voting against. and 32 abstaining. the message is clear. it doesn't matter what russia thrice and how it attempts to undermine international

10:17 am
to and respecting the reasonable security concerns of all countries. while we take note of the stated objectives of today's resolution, given its inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting peace, we are constrained to abstain. and even though several northern line countries like my jury and in an easier did vote for the resolution, they'd register their reservations criticizing it for not promoting storks and conflict resolution. ukraine. the you and the u. s. can once again say for a majority of nations at the un general assembly house voted against the russian invasion, even of finding unity on more punitive actions against moscow has proved more elusive schubert, nancy al jazeera united measures still ahead on al jazeera, find out how russia's invasion of ukraine is impacting on bangladesh is 1st ever nuclear power plant. ah.

10:21 am
imposed after its invasion of ukraine, a threatening to undermine the scheme. some expert say the only have minimal impact, the short term we publish and will be dead. and i don't think of no one can continue for longer period because countries will find a way to resolve that money transfer to russia from bangladesh as payment for equipment for the project have also stalled. last month, the u. s. sanction ship carrying equipment for the project was turned away after bangladesh failed reprisals from the west. but not all the equipment comes from russia. our machinery comes from western europe, so functionals should not have any impact on that. our works are progressing pretty well. and i think all the, all the worse will be finished on still nearly 5000 russians and other expert trips are working on the scheme. many restaurants, shops and small commercial establishments have sprouted up in this remote town in

10:28 am
to reassure people that it is safe to move back into solid structures once more, the fact that they'll be low rise, 2 or 3 stories. also more importantly perhaps that, that alone, they not come within $500.00 is of a fault lines, but it is still an ongoing issue. and of course we still having small quakes. there was a quake thursday evening yesterday evening in the district of deaf the i know people were injured in that, but again, 2 homes of the buildings that had been damaged collapsed as a result of that ongoing. quite well. mcbride, thank you. her student protests has have been voice in her anger. after raids buys very forces killed 11 people injured more than a 100. they rallied in the occupy to westbank cities of ramada, nablus, and hebron. the protests were organized by palestinian group, lyons den or news continues here in al jazeera, after inside story stated,
