ah ukrainians, remember their dead while the president vows to win the war against russia as the fighting and to the 2nd year. ah, and is of a brought him and this is al jazeera live from. don't ha, also coming up or western sanctions against russia, the united states, the g 7 nations, and the you target financial institutions and business entities. china calls for peace talks between ukraine and russia as part of its proposal to end the conflict . and we look at how keith's metro has become a symbol of resilience. as

a doubles are, as a city wide bomb shelter, ukrainians have been paying tributes to their loved ones have lost their lives in the war against russia, which has entered a 2nd year, bolstered by western support. ukraine still stands and president vladimir lensky has pledged to when the war this year. adrian finnegan begins, are coverage from keith peds bow side by side, but alone with their thoughts, soldiers or somebody. and keith marked a moment of silence for the former. such has been the toll of ukraine's year of war that each one of these troops will know the personal meaning of that ukraine's president certainly does. through 12 months of sacrifice and loss. he's meant many families like these mothers without sons,

wives without husbands. children without fathers for them and those still fighting followed him as zalinski had a message. yep. a shy salam, him made c, i am proud of you, court. we all each and every one. a proud of you. i, michelle, i am grateful to everyone who endured that february this year and who gives you crane invincibility guilty? may this be proudly proclaimed everywhere. ukraine is alive, alive, but now intimately acquainted with grief. many ukrainians have been to more funerals in the past year than they'd care to count that ukraine is still standing is of course, because of the resilience of its people. but it's also down to support from international allies who given backing to ukraine's military and economy in keith to mark the anniversary of russia's invasion, was the prime minister of poland, one of ukraine's staunchest allies. and he came with news. the shape or sky occupies folk today a copy of ship to day. the coalition that poland started to build for leopard tanks

with much success now consists of several countries. i want to hand you flooded me as the 1st european country to do so. the 1st for leopard tanks, the mobile alma ukraine, has been requesting for months is starting to arrive, but it wants more to push washing forces back across ukraine's internationally recognized 1991 borders. and zalinski is asking for western warplanes next. a video. sure. as of dicky, i believe the t to our and our polish brothers persistence with all our allies. we will be able to overcome another defensive taboo. the taboo of an aviation coalition shall after failing to conquer ukraine in its initial blitzkrieg, russia hope sick and exhausted through a long war. but ukraine says it's spring counter offensive is coming out. it wants it to be decisive. adrian seneca al jazeera cave. now the european

union has become the latest western power to impose a new round of sanctions against russia. the e u says it wants to hinder the kremlin ability to fund its war and star russia of technology and spare parts for its military. earlier the u. s. and coordination of the g 7 countries also announced new sanctions targeting moscow. the united nations security council has met to mark the anniversary rushes un ambassador interrupted a minute silence called for by the ukrainian foreign minister saying they should be honoring all victims and not just ukrainians. i kindly ask every one to observe a minute of silence in memory of the victims of the aggression. i think mister president with lovely, come with the representative of the russian federation has asked for the floor to make

a statement. just put you put into the move mister president. we are getting upon our feet to honor the memory of all wick timms. what has happened in ukraine starting in 2014? all of those who perished all lives are priceless, and that's why we are rising to honor the memory of them all. and un secretary general antonio gutierrez said that while the guns talking now the road to pieces through diplomacy and accountability with the bus, the are the schools who has more than 40 the bites on cranes the guns are talking now. but in the ends, we know, we all know that the best of diplomacy and accountability is that all to adjust and sustainable peace be seen line with un charters international law. and yesterday's resolution of the general assembly. we must prevent further escalation, as she returns he has been following the special council meeting at the un headquarters. the western alliance was able to attend this meeting of the un

security council in the manner that they had intended, brandishing a un general assembly resolution endorsed by 141 of 193 member states, calling the russian invasion of ukraine. illegal. however, at the same time, country of the country, both of a general assembly and the security council is calling for immediate negotiations now to achieve peace. and that's a position that nato does not agree with. i asked the british foreign secretary why it is about protecting the un charter, the foundation document that has kept the world safe for the postwar period. that's what it's taking. that's what we're seeking to defend china, india, brazil, south africa. i don't understand you and charles, when they call for unconditional peace dogs. now we want the war to stop. 141. united nations recognize countries voted in the un general assembly in support of the resolution. however, it was clear up the security council,

the western nations are aware of the growing on these at the nature position of war without any mechanism for conflict resolution. now human rights groups, as russian police detained thousands of people for mocking the 1st anniversary of the ukraine war in moscow and saint petersburg. people were taken away by officers after laying flowers on monuments, ukrainian polish. russia has introduced tough new laws against those who it says, discredit the army, or criticize what moscow calls a special military operation in ukraine, which is what ordinary russian had to say about the conflict. which the, 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 against us on the nato countries of fighting us to 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 the thing is not local 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 want victory, which encourages the mirror, which i really want piece. i really wanted all to and as soon as possible, too many victims marley speaking and materially, we pensioners feel at all a psalm of and java reports from moscow. well, by and large, this is what you will hear here in moscow, where people will tell you that they stand behind their country, that they're rallying behind the president. but you have to bear in mind that if you were taking seeing something the opposite, they could face penalties to discuss what has happened in the last year. we have with this all the company from the high school of economic. thank you very much for taking the time. it's been a year. it's been a tough year for many russians as well. why do you think opinions have changed towards supporting president bush not away from him?

well, i think we have at least 2 reasons. the 1st a well, where understands as a beginning of special military decoration, or such a concept from its active freeze. it's been to support russian speak and people are in eastern part of ukraine. are those people who been oppressed for many years, even a low tooth russian language? we're not to do anything really to choose the need for me to friend. we should need to redo cation, so this support. so definitely it is understandable. but even some people who had a certain, you know, reasons not to support this country because he freed people to our brother lanesha and so our but they would understand. so it is, it is necessary and thank you very much for those views that you have. this is predominant the, the view that you will hear in moscow that they stand behind their president stand behind their country and the war will continue until russia achieves. and all out

victory. now, the leader of russia wagner mercenary groups, has taken full control of the village on the outskirts of the eastern city of buck mode. the village of the key car lives just outside the front lines said he, which has seen intense fighting. ukraine, says its armed forces fort back against attacks near the village, and his mountain tension on ukraine's border with mold dover. russia claims ukraine is planning to invade the breakaway region of trends. miss tricia and is threatening to respond if it does. russian soldiers have been in moscow batch region since $992.00, but mulder has dismissed the claim. estonia has been a staunch supporter of ukraine. its independence day ceremonies coincided with the anniversary of the russian invasion, the president of the european commission and the nato secretary general in the stony and capital on friday, installed in books has. he believes russia doesn't, one piece on the medicaid is a james base has more from talon. yes, this is

a stone is independence day, but the fact that nato secretary general, i'm the president of the european commission of come here today. brussels is come to estonia, is sending a clear message about the independence of another country. ukraine put in has failed to achieve a single one of his strategic goals. instead of dividing the european union, he finds us united and determined to stand by ukraine for as long as it takes, there was considerable skepticism here about the new chinese piece. proposals. try now doesn't have much credibility because they have not been able to condemn the illegal invasion of ukraine. and they also sign that just days before the invasion agreement, but in person she and person couldn't ah,

on limitless partnership with russia. the nato sec general also announced 2 important new bits of information. firstly, he's invited presidents lensky to join the nato summit that takes place in the baltics in vilnius in july. that's something that's like to anger president putin. and secondly, there still the problem of the accession of sweden and finland. turkey is still raising some objections. the secretary general says he's invited all 3 countries to a summit in the next month to discuss the issue. james bays al jazeera talon. now china has released a 12 point proposal to end the conflict and ukraine. it follows towards between top chinese diplomat wonky and russian president vladimir putin, beijing as 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 gray and can be safely exported from ukraine. also warns against the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict as well as

attacks on nuclear power plants. katrina, you has more from beijing. china has so passed, failed to condemn russia's invasion, isn't crane. and repeatedly, we've seen baking out. it's no limits. rock solid friendship with russia and over the past year. trade between the 2 countries has also sought, not only thought we've had a president, she didn't speak to light in the kitchen, at least 3 times in the past. you know that the 2 or 2 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 his part to reach out to the landscape. now the us says that china supported russia could be going even further that beijing is planning or considering sending weapons to russia for use in its war machine. but so far, this is something that patron denies. ukraine's metro has become a source of refuge and safety for thousands of people who shelter there during air

raids. alexia bryan reports from keith, descending deep below the ukrainian capital. these escalators carry crowds of commuters to keep the golden gate metro station about 900 meters underground. it's below freezing at street level. down here it's even colder, but people don't mind the temperature because at least it's safe. there's an air ride alert as we film. so young an old gather in the station until it lifted easily is a horror. then we've come down here because there's a threat in the center of the city. we only come down here. why? yes, sure, i'm worried. i hope all this madness will come to an end, and that the russians will experience everything we've lived through. fewer people come down now then in the early days of the war, when the city was encircled by russian forces and thousands lived under ground for weeks. platforms and trains became makeshift camps crammed with people and they

pitts and the few belongings they could carry less. yes nigger was on night shift at lucan. you've sca metro station when the 1st explosion struck, get on with us on the upper level of what over my friend call me at 5 a. m and said the war has started. i couldn't believe it. debbie heard the sirens and people started to run to the metro to ask for shelter. there was so many people and they were scared. she tells me how she lived in the station for 2 mumps, helping organize food and sanitation for the crowds of terrified people. go with you as the head of the station. i couldn't leave those people behind because i knew they needed my help. and when i saw the fear in their eyes, i could not leave. one of the challenges was running fever this done, but also the across the country over the past year was how to keep people safe. also keeping the train running now about half a 1000000 people,

right. these trains every day determined to keep life as normal as possible. as up above the war grinds on leadership. i believe everything will be fine if there are any future attacks will be ready. we feel positive. these stations that were once tourist hotspots. and now places of refuge and symbols of ukraine's resilience, alex o'brien al jazeera keith still ahead on the bulletin broadcasting in exile, we meet russian journalist fi, sang to express themselves freely and severe winter weather as reeking. have across the us of more than 2 meters, a snow expected over the coming days. awe luscious war in ukraine has dominated well for the past 12 months.

devastating to those in the line of fire or directly impacted. it has strengthened global alliances and deepens, divisions. with far reaching effects on the lives of millions of people, well white in a week had special coverage. al jazeera explores every aspect of the conflict, the human, the political, and the economic, and the possibilities of resolution. ukraine war, one year on, on, out there. in syria citizens are collecting evidence, a show of crimes committed against civilians. we've moved out of syria now about $600000.00 pages of material so that one day they can bring the outside regime to justice. it puts a human face on the charges. it's a dead human face, but it's

a human face. syria. witnesses for the prosecution on al jazeera hulu. ah, ah. you watching out as they are with me and as the problem in doha reminder of our top stores, the cell has been one years since russian launched its invasion of ukraine, leading to the largest conflict in europe since world war 2, thousands of people have been killed and millions forced from their homes. the un secretary general says that a year into the war, life is a living hell for the people of ukraine. he was speaking at a high level security council,

debase on peace and security. and the european union has become the latest western power to impose a new round of sanctions against russia, but it says it wants to hinder the kremlin ability to fund its war earlier. the u. s. and coordination with g 7 countries also announced new sanctions targeting moscow. while the war has separated many families, more than 8000000 ukrainian refugees have fled to neighboring countries. the majority of women and children. poland has welcomed 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 here in about 500000 people. it's one of 27 e u nation's where ukrainians are allowed to live and work for up to 3 years. italy, spain, and the u. k. have each welcomed about a $150000.00 people. well, the united states has accepted just over 2000 ukrainian refugees over the past year

. many have come to new york city home to the largest ukrainian population in the us. gabriel elizondo sport spoke to one young couple from odessa they had no plans to be in america, but here they are on a recent day in new york's washington square park. carrillo dog shit, a 26 year old dancer and his girlfriend. i saw men over a 24 year old up and coming journalist. now did you know current the in trevor mushroom life was good back in odessa. here she is reporting about tourism. they had big dreams together leaving ukraine wasn't. one of them will stay. i will prosper for on board though i loved my work. i had a perfect life. i never wanted to come to america. i never had the american dream. i had everything in ukraine. then russia began its full scale invasion. and after

quickly seizing harrison set their sights on cruel and isolate hometown of odessa, one moment we started to receive news that russian soldiers were raping ukrainian women and kids. those troops could arrive where i lived any day. that was the area i had panic attacks, but that's what i knew. i had to leave today. she left almost immediately after the invasion began. he stayed behind but was unable to join the military due to a back injury. so he followed i saw out later same by saying father sam for the after nearly 9 months apart, they are reunited in new york where he is trying to earn money, sent back home to support his mom. there only contact with family is on daily video college, both credo and i so are trying to make the best of life here in new york city. but both want to return home to ukraine. i have somewhat differing opinions on if or

when that will even be possible. i hope we will celebrate victory. the hope is going to be soon. and then after that for sure, once you go back cl family, i want to see my mom. i want to see my grandma, which is because that the show i don't want to live as a refugee. i want to be home helping my own country and my own people are a young couple who left everything back home except each other. gabriel is on dough jesse to new york. now the committee to protect journalist says at least 13 journalists have been killed covering the war and ukraine. the watchdog says it's investigating whether the deaths of 2 others were related to their work. dozens of reporters have also fled a media cracked on in russia, but some of them have face balance and all the parts of europe to step lawson reports from amsterdam. they were in silence for very long see the rain. oh, darcy is again reaching out to its russian audience now from amsterdam. the

independent channel was banned in russia one week after the invasion of ukraine for its coverage of the war. like hundreds of other journalists presented me fail fishman, and juliet or tutor flat russia out of fear of arrest. prominent voices are silenced either they are in jail or the in foot in that position when they basically can't open their mouth. since it's escape from russia, t v range audience has grown with nearly $4000000.00 subscribers and hundreds of thousands of fuse each day. this fight is, is very difficult for us and because you have to understand that the annual budget of russian states, me propagandist smee more than 1000000000 euro. and the

combined budget of 31 russian meter. an example is just 6200000 euros. we are like david and god f. while originally an english language newspaper, the moscow times has increased its readership by also publishing in russian. and for them has become a new home for russian media in exile. the moscow times was forced to leave the country. it was operating in for nearly 30 years. its sudden departure shows how journalism and press freedom are among the victims of this war. not only in russia, but some say in western europe as well. this is ricky international. i went to europe in union, decided to ban gramlin back media, russia today and sputnik, a few months into the war. the dutch federation for journalist formerly filed the complaint. what we've see on our tea or support tech, we consider also as propaganda and as not being in the been your listen. but at the same time, we feel that it's very worrisome. if a state,

if the political leadership can decide on what people in also in european countries can see or not can see in russia, journalists risk 15 years in prison just for using the worth war. it sir, military part has completely failed. but it's inner propaganda part is succeeding. that's we have to admit that i am, but because this enemy is much weaker and easier to, to crush. meanwhile, t v range fight hard to stay on air, offering a different narrative to its russian audience. the channel was recently banned in latvia for comments that were considered pro russian. the channel is fighting that decision steadfast and i'll just hear a amsterdam to other news now where the death toll from the earthquakes that
