4:04 pm
a lack of those kinds of big gatherings because people here are concerned about russia targeting that kind of event. they don't want a mass casualty event, but people have been marking the occasion in smaller ceremonies. there are things planned throughout the throughout the day, and a lot of people have been going to church services as you saw, the president do as well. we've been to one, we went to saint michael's cathedral, we saw a military unit. they're offering prayers, lighting, candles. we saw individuals lighting candles and saying prayers and people here now are remembering those that have died. thousands of people have, have been killed in this conflict, not just soldiers, civilians as well. and people are taking this day to, to remember those that the last president zalinski made a speech this morning in it. he even struck an emotional tone saying that there is no one who doesn't have a contact in their phone. that will never answer a call again. will never respond to a text message again to, to
4:05 pm
a message that inquires, how are you people will go without responses. so certainly a very somber moment, but people here are also doubling down on their resilience. they, they know that the, the path ahead will carry on with the conflict likely for another year, maybe more. but there is hope that it will be over soon. the intelligence a senior intelligence official in ukraine has said that decisive battles will happen in the spring. but that the war will end this year. how does that resemble swaby reporting live there from downtown keys? charging me here now is the ukrainian m. p. alexi. conchella ankle could have you with us, sir. what did you make of what president zalinski said earlier on this the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion? he is right that this year really was a tragedy. but also this is a history and also this is a victory garza put in,
4:06 pm
never thought that in one year after start of his invasion, ukraine will be free. keith will be free and that is our victory. but i would like to see that today we would already discuss the lessons of this war because we could win this war earlier if we would receive more weaponry earlier. and speaking of that, you know, your just back from the munich security conference, what message will you pressing the, are you satisfied with the response and speed of your allies? an, an are your colleagues and parliament. we're very thankful for all support you are receiving. but the answer is no. now we're not satisfied because we want to win quicker in the benefit of the whole world. it's not just about ukraine, or foot, cries is energy crisis. refugee cries is all of them worse and from day to day. and we want to finish these as quickly as possible, but for these we need finally, air. do really have a weaponry and quickly and now and do not like it was, it was,
4:07 pm
was petros, just remember for one year there were discussions and still we're waiting. i was in tutorial defense when the russians were taken care of. and i can tell you if it would have in march weaponry that we received in may, would finish everything in april, who would have more weaponry in summer would finish everything in autumn. so i hope that the free world will stop to chase after bulletin, but to make a step ahead of him and to finish this war, you've had some pretty i profile figures in ukraine this week starting of course, with you as president biden along with the leaders of italy, spain on poland. how important is that, that show of solidarity or do you need more than just high profile visits? no, no, that is very important to that is about moral that about stand in together shoulder to shoulder, visit of present by denise historic. his speech in war, so worse historic. so i think that is very important, that raises the morale of people that shows to greatness, that they're not alone. because you know, as, as an ordinary person, when you have to be travels in your life, what is the most important for you?
4:08 pm
not to be alone to have somebody on your side. so we are very thankful for all everybody hall coming to dale. so many parliamentarians from different parliaments of the world here. and that is very important for us on that note. and what did you make of yesterday's vote at the un calling on russia to withdraw immediately? and how does not help ukraine? i this is very important political signal and that shows with whom is the world because 143 countries supported us yesterday x a is against of 7. so russia was supported just by 6 countries. and to like, countries like nothing, career like other countries, which i can say problematic. so the 2 countries abstain little companies that will damage to them. and the message is very clear to countries like india, china, the wall daughter should be restored. everybody will benefit from this because eve, even want each of ukrainian territory will remain under control of russia. that will mean that there is no wall tada,
4:09 pm
that there is no international law. and that means that big a neighbor can attack a smaller one, take territory committed genocide, that would be awful signal to the role. second thing, please don't forget that your grain is donation in their human history, which voluntarily give up nuclear weaponry. and what is the signal to the world? if you get your eternal integrity of ukraine will not be restored. it means just go nukes, develop your own oh, all nuclear weaponry. so in 102030 years, we will have a number of nuclear countries in the world, and we will move to new war sooner or later. so you even want to full 20 new politics of non proliferation of nuclear weaponry. if we want to restore international order, stand on the side of ukraine, good to talk to. so let me thank you very much. you know, this is what people in moscow have been saying as the war enters, it's 2nd year as a dynamic which look my expectations. i want this to be over soon as possible. of course, we're waiting for rush to win in the special military operation. the whole world
4:10 pm
against us, nato countries are fighting us through ukraine, supplying them with equipment. and then there were the nazis were looking for to winning this year and hopefully the sooner the better for this to end when i had the can. yes, no broken law war is of course bad. but this year has shown that no other decision could have been taken and that we are defending our independence is freedom, a chance for the future, the future of our children. therefore we went victory, which encouraged the mirror, which i really want peace. i really wanted all to end as soon as possible, too many victims marley speaking and materially, we pensioners feel at all, all the sullivans of its joining us now from moscow. we heard there that the general feeling amongst the least the people we've spoken to there seems to be that they want peace. but of course they're also suffering under sanctions. and they're also seeing a lot of international businesses pull out of russia. how are they feeling about the conflict given the fight? it's been going on for so long. and of course they have seen soldiers, bodies coming back. this was supposed to be
4:11 pm
a quick and swift operation which has dragged down for over a year and has no end in sight. as you heard from people on the ground. it is worth noting that if they do dissent, there is a, it is a punishable crime. under russian law, so a lot of critics of this government, either in jail or have left the country. there are people who've been declared foreign agents as well. so in the last one year, russia has clamped down on descent, but it is a country of war. and the narrative that president found to be prudent and the russian leaders have been for drink seems to have resonated with people that this is a country which had to go to war. it had no other choice. there was an alliance of every one and in the world from best and capitals who were gathering in ukraine, who are bringing weapons to ukraine. and this was important for russia to take care of. and this is something that we've heard in the last a few days. as well from the present, probably middleton this morning from dmitri med believe that it has to have success
4:12 pm
in this, especially military operation. and dmitri mode would have added that, even if it has to go to the polish border. this operation will continue, but it does come when people in the russian capital at least are able to move around freely their lives are going on and as normal. and all of those international brands, which are supposed to have left pressure, still remain here in terms of their physical presence, will be it with russian names and russian ownership. this mosque, which 3 is a standard 1.5 liter family car. but it comes of the production line of what used to be at random production plant. when the french car manufacturer left russia last year, it brought off $2300000000.00 worth of assets and sold its russian subsidiary for a symbolic when europe. it has a buyback option in a few years. if thank you lifted. but for now the 45000 workers who produce nearly a 3rd of russia's car market remain employed. and it seems one company functions
4:13 pm
crisis was another opportunity. what's that written? go boom, upon your own, produce in 2023. we planned to produce 50000 vehicles. $10000.00 will be electric. we've already started developing our own electric platform. by the end of 2025. we plan to produce a fully electric car of our own designs. we plan to localize all components in moscow. fossil chains and cafes which closed operations have also been acquired by russian business people. so mcdonald is not good. no, he touched her, and starbucks is stars. coffee in russia who's out of wood with more than $11000.00 sanctions have been imposed during the search. so they assumed that events with unfolding a catastrophic where russia exports records 0 will. russia would fall into a complete blockade sphere. the financial system will collapse, however they will run bunker. these countries have either impose restrictions back sanctions, or opposed russia's invasion of ukraine,
4:14 pm
where the ones in green are either seen as russia's allies or have a neutral stance. these include south americas, brazil, and venezuela plus resource rich nations including iraq, miley, and said on an acres power houses, including india and china. this is the classical group showcasing its weapons in the united arab emirates. it's one of many countries that refuse to be involved in sanctions against russia. the russian manufacturer, it produces about 95 percent of all small arms in the country and exports weapons to more than $27.00 others fresh drug makers, if turned to india's farm industry for supplies after being blocked by the rest. and he has also become a major oil export market for russia. but china dwarfs them all with an estimated $200000000000.00 in trade forecast with russia by next year. despite its allies, help sanctions against russia have led to a drop in exports, a whitening fiscal deficit, and businesses struggling to find cash after banking restrictions. when you're on
4:15 pm
moscow has proved an old military saying, russia is never as strong as you fear. but russia is also never as weak as you hope . sama joelle dedira moscow or the united states is marked the anniversary of the invasion was new sanctions targeting russia and its allies. washington's also promised more military support for ukrainian forces. our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins. johnny may live now from washington that all right, already a lot of sanctions in place. one of his goal of these ones. yeah, that's right. well, as you point out, there have been sanctions already and well, the us feels that this is certainly in some forms incapacitated vladimir putin's ability to wage war. it hasn't gone far enough because what we've seen is the ability of russia to forge partnerships with other countries in order to keep the war machine going. and so the goal of these latest round of sanctions put in place
4:16 pm
by the united states and coordination with other g 7 nations is to see that that ability to wage war is completely incapacitated. so what does these latest sanctions look like? well, and they're going to be targeted against $200.00 individuals and entities, both russian individuals, as well as the individuals across europe who are in support of russian individuals and businesses. we also know that there will be a dozen russian financial institutions that will be targeted. namely, tied to russia's financial industry or rather defense and tech industry, namely in the mining as well as metals sector. we also know that the united states is going to restrict any exports to russia, as well as raised tariffs on russian products here in the united states. now again, the goal of all of this is to completely cut off russia from the global economy. something that really was the goal initially with the initial rounds of sanctions.
4:17 pm
but once again, russia was able to kind of circumvent that. so this is really an attempt to incapacitate rushes ability to raise and finance it's war machine. and once again, this is something that you as president is discussing with g 7 leaders. there's a virtual meeting that is taking place as we speak. and just to make sure that there can continue to not only be this coordination that's taking place in terms of combating russia, but also to make sure that there is a continued financial support for ukraine, a in order to fight its defense. and so what i was responded kimberly hawker, kimberly, thank you. the united nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on russia to withdraw from ukraine during the past year. moscow has been criticized by member states of allegations of war cramps natasha, butler reports, reports now from could have the aftermath of a russian attack in the northern ukrainian city of kennedy here last year on the
4:18 pm
ground bodies of civilians that been queuing outside a shop for bread when they were hit by shells and rockets, 15 people were killed, dozens injured. so you are standing around here. without wisdom. natasha narrowly escaped death that day by taking cover by this wool. she was in the queue with her son and mother in law. she plays me recording, she made on her phone with you. if you said this lot news or lose a grease got we heard explosions near us. it was very close. and then we saw lots of people running everywhere. at the time, at the attack turned the he was a city under siege. russian forces was surrounding it and shelled it almost daily. they destroyed power and water supplies. evidence of what happened is still visible nearly everywhere. this is where people were lining up for bread that day. it is
4:19 pm
rice in the middle of a residential area. and what prosecutors was that he says the what happened on that day is a war crime, an indiscriminate attack on civilians who are on the property of coverage. law enforcement agencies consider this a war crying because the main victims were civilians. also a pre trial investigation found no evidence of ukrainian military hardware that could be a legitimate target of weapons, were used indiscriminately who it all, all the sir. mark c o. marks are the places of burkett's hid. the buildings may be marina slow. boat yoke works with the rights organization called truth hounds. that's helping prosecutors to build a case. it's collated evidence amused, open source material, satellite imagery and social media to reconstruct what happened. her team says it's traced the killings to a russian unit that was positioned on the outskirts of the city. have we identified
4:20 pm
also, the condo is, sir, appreciate all that quick and who might be liable and responsible for this very kind of attack. whether, oh, lake creek in or another officer was responsible for the attack on the brake. you might never be proved. some investigators say he's back in russia. it's clear that building legal cases and prosecuting alleged war crimes is a challenge. but for some ukrainians, pursuing justice is at least one way of honoring the was many victims. natasha butler al jazeera kenny heave ukraine. let's take you lived out a boot chill, some 30 kilometers west of cliff i'll deserves hotter abdul. hamid is the hot to tell us about what happened, where you all a surgeon, a butcher. it was a place where there was. busy a russian occupation last year that lasted throughout
4:21 pm
the month of march. now, when the war started on this day, actually the russian paratroopers where landing not very far away from here in an airport in hostile mel. it's about 5 kilometers or 10 kilometers away from butcher . at the same time, there was a column of tanks that were advancing from the northern border, heading towards kiva itself. now they arrived here in boucher and got bogged down because of ukrainian counter attacks. there was a $1.00 and $1.00 of their petrol tankers that wasn't caught on fire, would have to put the column at a standstill. if you asked people here how they lived through those weeks when the russians were here, people will tell you about horror stories about how they lived in fear about how the people were getting exit cupid and akin in government. all is pointed at
4:22 pm
boucher as the most evident example of war crimes committed here by russian soldiers. so this is a place that has very poignant memories for ukrainians who at the time i was on the other side of the country and in the east and people were talking about boucher and what was what they were hearing about what was happening in boucher and further down the road in your pin as the civilians were trying to flee from under, collapse bridge was causing a lot of fear on the other side of the country. and the time the russians were pushing them from the north, from hockey, but people elsewhere were afraid that that would happen to them to boots. that may have been one of the 1st places where we saw atrocities against ukrainian civilians, honda, but there are investigations into war crimes on the way in several cities of
4:23 pm
absolutely. i can tell you, for example, under counter offensive in the north east and the cocky region started in october as the ukrainian forces were pushing well, all was with them just behind them. you have war crime investigators. they are among the 1st people are on the scene, not allowing any civilians to reach or not allowing journalists to come in. they are, they're taking any kind of forensic evidence they can find and that happens all over it happened. and no, ne happen in the southern region, it happens in every area, basically that is re captured by the ukrainians. it's also very difficult to go through all of the evidence they are. there is a lot of, there are let of dead bodies around, for example, in it's jim and they found his burial site more than $400.00 grave, some mark,
4:24 pm
some unmarked. they had to exam every single one of them to figure out the cause of death, of the person buried there or the several people are buried in one as satan, grave. but boucher remains really the, the most shocking of all of these places where the most war crimes happened according to ukrainian investigators. they were bodies strewn under underground. a blindfolded their hands as tied together, executed point blank. you didn't see that same amount of war crimes, according to the ukrainian investigators in other place, especially in the east where the rushes are trying not to are you need the local population where some of them do support the rushes, but certainly investigators do build their case piece by piece village by village
4:25 pm
found by town. and i said at one day, all of that will be put forward. hot abdullah maids reporting live from boucher southside keith. hold on that. he thinks a deal that is it from keith for the moment, puts up more now for robin doha, on chide up, which as we said earlier, has released it's 12 point proposal on ending the conflict in ukraine. oh, well, no proposal follows talks between sub diplomat one ye and russian president vladimir putin. beijing is calling for an end to western sanctions on russia and urging moscow and keith to hold peace talks. the proposal calls for the establishment of humanitarian corridors for civilians and steps to ensure that grain can be safely exported from ukraine. it also warns against the use of nuclear weapons and the conflict as well as attacks on nuclear power plants, katrina hughes says the has more from beijing. china has so far failed to condemn
4:26 pm
russia's invasion crane and repeatedly we've seen bathing town. it's no limits. rock solid friendship with russia, and over the past year. trade between the 2 countries has also sought. not only that, we've had a president, she didn't even speak to vladimir putin at least 3 times in this past year. we know that the, the queue are too personal friends, and he's also planning to visit moscow later this year. and conversely, we have not had, as far as we know, any effort on sheed impedance part to reach out to is a lensky. now, the u. s. says that china's support of russia could be going even further that beijing is planning or considering sending our weapons to russia for use in it's warmer she that so far this is something that baiting denies. lucas burkland is a visiting fellow at yale law schools. paul side china center and he's an expert on chinese studies, is joining us live from new york. very good to have you with us. how effective could china be as a mediator?
4:27 pm
well, it looks like china really can't be effective as a mediator. and the proposal study put out yesterday really reflects this. this is not a plan. there is no action that china proposes. what it does is the ticket set of principles about the way that china says it's conflict. and china really is in a bind of the ukraine conflict because it doesn't well come the war. a cause is and told problems to china and its relationship with europe to its economy, to its place in the world. but at the same time, what is deeply ingrained name james views of the world is that a show down with us is on the horizon. sooner or later, a show down with the west will happen because the west is trying to contain china's arise. and as a result, he cannot afford to forego an ally like russia,
4:28 pm
so he has to somehow pretend to be neutral. why staying somewhat on the side of russia, and certainly not accepting to be enrolled into war efforts, waged by the u. s. and nato were obviously marketing. the fact that the war has been going on for years is understandable. that said, the chinese government would want to market that by putting forward this piece proposals. but this conflict has been going on for 365 days in china has been facing the same concerns during that time. why is it decided to bring this proposal forward at this point? but i think that china is feeling the pressure. it has been its own, you really tried to strike a middle path between the 2 sides of the conflict. but increasingly we can see the us and nato, and you rising the pressure on china to take
4:29 pm
a more decisive teacher and steps such as president, she thinking, talking directly to president, sky such as president is teaching, being pushing, putting to take some me to get being steps and also the sanctions, har or teen, china is economy, so it needs to articulate to the rest of the world. why it's a good faith actor, and why it understands the concerns of global south countries, about the fact that the whole world seems to be dragged into what is a european conflict, where they are not involved. and i think that's the message resonate somehow with a number of countries in the global south. even though we so wish to vote at the un general assembly yesterday that the west is still able to muster
4:30 pm
a fairly large majority with the 140 countries voting for a resolution calling for russia to still free ukrainian territory. really interested to get your thoughts on this nicholas back on. thank you very much indeed for being with us and all disease and we still had on al jazeera simultaneous attacks on 3 political parties in nigeria killed several people right before elections were going to be alive. and boucher guided sports, one of the most deadly scholars keeps his team on top basketball action coming up later on in the program. ah, the latest news as it drinks still by doing arriving here, pledging more weapons reads you more defense finance with detailed coverage more
4:31 pm
than a decade with who has killed one of these many serious millions of them to let the trickier looking for safety from around the world limiting their powers require. i'm gunman through the constitution under the electron law. what with increasing number of governments getting electric, neither of us will have to wait longer for that to happen. tough times the man tough question is, what exactly are you asking for you? what troops on the ground, the rigorous debate we challenge conventional wisdom racism is so deeply entrenched in the country that is identified with america. so when you challenge racism, it looks as if you're challenging of merit and demand the truth. there's no serious discussion about this because it goes to the very root of who we are up front with me, mark lamb on hill. what al jazeera lou
4:32 pm
ah, watching or does it remind of us help stories this out. it's been one years since russia launched this invasion of ukraine leading to the largest conflict in europe since world war to thousands of people have been killed and millions of enforced in their homes. china is urging moscow and came to hold peace talks and introduce a comprehensive fees fire. the crane says the supposedly is a positive sign under the expect spacing to show more active support. united states is marks the anniversary of the invasion with new sanctions targeting russia and its allies. washington is also promised another $2000000000.00 worth of military support for new training. while the war has separated many families, more than 8000000 ukrainian refugees of fled to neighboring countries,
4:33 pm
the majority of women and children. poland has welcome the most with around 1500000 people settling their germany is hosting an estimated 1000000 ukrainian refugees. but like many countries, its face challenges, especially in providing adequate housing and services. the czech republic took in about 500000 people. it's one of 27 nations where ukrainians are allowed to live and work for up to 3 years in spain and the u. k. have each welcomed about 150000 people. john hall has been at the polish border city of flemish, but he managed refugees who hope they'll return to the whole land one day. in a pony show, tutorial, ukrainian refugees watch a film comparing the world war to destruction of war. so with last year's russian bombardment of maria po, warsaw was rebuilt and rose shiny and new from the ashes. so to the thinking goes, will ukraine's devastated cities like maria pulp on
4:34 pm
a guided tour of war. so later were traces of the war still remain some feel only faint, hope my person, you know, the maria pool we had will never be the same. it will be different, you cannot know how, but the life we had, they will never return. that life was stolen from us. hope is a common ingredient in the lives of ukrainian refugees scattered the world over, a large proportion, benefiting from the generosity of neighboring poland. but the warmth and safety of sponsored accommodation is no barrier to paint what's at the walmart that was a blue ball in mean you see, march 20th was more or less quite the day. so we left the basement and i remember it was my daughter's birthday. nor to the realization that what began as a temporary relocation could last much longer. and while there are those
4:35 pm
returning to safer parts of ukraine, especially as when to lift many, continue to flee. the fighting in the south and east train loads of newcomers arrive on poland, east border almost every day. everything. just a minute to come across. you sold all your belongings, given books. it was too hard and cured. since the war began, more than 8000000 people in the same voc trains like this one from ukraine, many of them going on to settle in countries all over the world while poland alone has taken in around one and a half millions in this country's generosity. now, being fully tested, as the war goes on. in recent years, poland has become infamous for its unwelcoming attitude to migrants from africa in the middle east, trying to cross the border from bella. ruth,
4:36 pm
not so those from ukraine. but while the country spends billions of dollars supporting them and as the cost of living saws, the hope that they'll $1.00 day be able to leave, poland is not felt by the ukrainians alone. joan, a whole al jazeera premise, poland or russians have also left their country in large numbers since the war began. tens of thousands of young professionals have gone abroad, either to escape conscription or sanctions, or because they don't support the war allocation reports from moscow. the warden, ukraine has changed a lot here for dimitry, who asked us to protect his identity. the greatest fear is being called up to serve in the army. he left russia for kazakhstan, but didn't stay long on your bill when you're a huge did him. i was gone for 4 months. it was my longest time away from home. being in a foreign country is hard, especially when you have no support in the costs of housing and food increased
4:37 pm
a lot and it became very expensive to live. so i decided to come back home, richie demetri, still planning to leave, but he's not sure when or where he'll go near flexible hour. it's still on my mind . it's hard when he don't know what's coming to morrow. some of my friends have already left here, some are planning to go. so in fact, there will be very little to keep me here. thousands of young russians have similar stories, either or the national team and by chance or russia, because i don't really, you know, there's no payment back system or garages. so it's a big from the ministry of digital development puts the number of people who have left at 100000. what says 80 percent of them are working remotely for russian companies, but some people less, some people came back and it's we'll take her actually
4:38 pm
a lot of time to understand how many people actually left may meet people who have left to the nozzle junior specialist and middle senior specialists, and we will take years upon years of experience for the new. com is on the markets of fuel in the gap. the government is considering various proposals. incentives are on the table as are threats to confiscate the property of those who have left. the brain. brain isn't here in russia, but the war has shaved the plans of many young professionals. that is a feeling of unease. and they say, as prospects are so uncertain here, they'll follow their caddies back to other countries or yeah, sure, and jesse are moscow. ah, some nearly 50000 people are confirmed to have died since earthquake struck takia and syria earlier this month. a 1000000 and a half to kia, have been left homeless. many houses are still standing,
4:39 pm
