i'm jared raid. thank you very much for your company. ukraine and russia have entered their 1st talk since war broke out 5 days ago without any breakthrough. ukrainian delegates says the negotiations were difficult. the meeting was held in bella bruce, close to the ukrainian border. the talks began later than planned and lasted for around 6 hours bought, despite ukraine's hopes for a ceasefire. there was no agreement. major cities including the capitol keys are still holding out, but there's been no re late hop in the fighting. now, just to warning the report you're about to see does contain some disturbing images . a difference here. let's see of this conflict. in plain sight of medic say the people here were injured as russian troops. shells the

port city, the murray, awful. one of them, a 6 year old girl doesn't make it yet another pointless loss of life. fresh essays, it's not targeting civilians. the pictures such as these are which ukraine says is the residential building in flames in the northern town of china have seemed to disprove that claim as to these satellite images showing craters caused by russian artillery fire near residential areas in the city of khaki. in the east ukrainian say they will do all it takes to defend their country. a civilians learn how to become soldiers. ukraine's foreign minister makes clear the extent of his resolve that they will never give up. he also had this appeal to people in russia. courtroom. soon, american fo would like to address the citizens of the russian federation. look what

vladimir putin turned your country. you'll be country into here, declared an invasive war against ukraine. he sent here your sons' husbands to kill ukrainians, capture our lance, destroy our cities. ukrainians did not want this war, but they will fight for their land and their homes. no green configured, documentary apo residence or sheltering from the fighting in an underground. jim. many have been here for 5 days. despite what is happening outside to some a trying to be optimistic minute, let's hope for peace negotiations because everyone wants and some kind of result so that civilians are being killed with a majority here with me. for now though, there is no peace, and this is a new reality for the millions of ukrainians who just last week will leading normal

lives. and some of the heaviest, fighting on monday was in ukraine's 2nd largest city khaki, ukrainian authorities, sight dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured. when russian forces fired on residential areas. the emergencies ministry released the sportage showing flames and fixed smoke rising from apartment blocks. authority say the casualties could be higher because the damage from monday shilling or residential areas is still being assessed. and russia denies that it forces a firing on civilian targets in ukraine. earlier d, w spoke to a resident of khaki and she told us about a missile attack on a residential area. were up to 5 apartment buildings where he's with many severe civilian casualties, argue as a big feet and the now with russia cell in wisconsin cell. and because i know here

is a shell and goes on and people cannot go outside and we are running for supplies and their medical supplies. so actually the big street is on the verge of humanitarian at the store. but that's what the brain here because now and it's in a couple of supply and food is impossible. i have seen here today the long lines of people who want to just to buy a lot of bread because it's a shortage. right now. i ill wary and great about the russian troops come in to ukraine. i want to defend my whole and want to fight with all those ukraine nouns who are now in the territorial defense, you know, and then the military and everyone come on. now i can give all interior out medical aid, and if and that i'm capable of, and i know a lot of people who do that as well, because we are here on our land,

whenever threats and the russia with and it's been released in peace and the you know, argue is the russian speaking seat and put in now talks about, you know, dinner for cation or, you know, rescue and russian. because we do not want to be rescued. we want russian troops to go back to russia. that's what jonathan cats is. a senior fellow with the american global policy think tank the german marshall fund. he joins me from washington, dc. welcome to d. w sir. i'd like to get your thoughts on where things stand now, because most observers thought russia would quickly overrun ukraine. but that hasn't happened. what's your sense of the situation? yeah, i mean we're really in a period of continuous escalation and despite the desires to see russia de escalate, move its troops out, even the conversations that happened today between ukrainians and russians. i think

there isn't, at least in washington, many who feel like this is, is going to end anytime soon. and in fact, only an escalation of when you see the types of weapons being used indiscriminately in ukraine by the russian army and military. you have to be concerned about how this is going to play out with over $500000.00 plus refugees right now. you know, hundreds of thousands more displaced internally, more people being killed on a daily basis. and mr. put not willing to back down distance headed for a collision course with the united states and nato, as we see this, this really, this disaster unfold. now you're saying more escalation casualties, refugees, i just want to read you something that cybersecurity expert dmitri pair of it's told me yesterday he said russia didn't expect such resistance from ukraine. and he said that the invasion roches invasions strategy so far is quite

a textbook example. of what not to do, what's your view on moscow strategy? ukrainians have been valiant and, and in there you know, the, the international community in particular partners of ukraine or raleigh to support them. and certainly they have inflicted a great deal of damage and pushback. they're fighting for their country and, and that support for them as needed. but when you look at what russia is doing get now militarily, because they're such a large, military sophisticated military, they can keep this up for as long as they want to spite the casualties. and what you're not seeing in russia is any news reporting about what's happening to their own troops. and so mr. newton is not only trying to control and matching externally, but doing it internally, which then gives them a free hand to continue this war against ukraine. and so even if you look at their military strategy and you say it's not working,

one has to be concerned that mr. newton and his designs, and i think many people believe that the only design for him is to take over ukraine is going to use every arsenal in every piece of weaponry to take back ukraine. that's the strategy. and so i'm more worried about the death and destruction in this process and an unwillingness for mister putin to take an offer and whether he's winning or losing. let's talk a little bit more about letting me preach him because the e, u and nato have come together over the past couple of days. germany in particular, in quite unprecedented unpredicted ways to impose severe sanctions on russia. do you think this kind of resoluteness has court fusion by surprise? absolutely, and you can see it right now in the russian economy with the ruble tanking. i think that, you know, he was forewarned by president biden, that there be severe economic consequences. i think what mister bruton didn't

didn't really think would come to fruition is the unity of the trans atlantic community. you've seen a wholesale change in german policy in terms of arming ukraine. you've seen the e u step up really, to become the superpower that it, that it has wanted to, to be in terms of security. and so right now you have tremendous will and effort of the trans atlantic community. and i think mister putin really thought that he could break break that unity, that's not the case. but the next couple of days will really be critical. because as you can see, as, as the humanitarian situation changes on the ground, as the fighting becomes more dangerous, more difficult, more destructive, there will have to be a choice at some point for nato and europe. together in the united states to thinking about how they're going to stop further bloodshed. jonathan cuts with the german marshal fun, really appreciate your insights. they thank you. and here are some of the other

headlines related to the war in ukraine. the united states is expelling 12 russian un diplomats, accusing them of being spies, rushes un ambassador vassily, and had been told a session of the security council about the move calling it a hostile step. he later refused to specify though whether he was among those told to leave the piece to green. smith turkey's president wretch had typo one, says he'll restrict to russian war ships from ki waterway to the black sea. and 936 treaty gives turkey the right to stop military vessels passing through the da da nails and bought for a strike. during war time. several russian ships have recently passed through those straight into the black sea, which also borders ukraine. and western sanctions, triggered by the invasion of ukraine have sent the rubel promising the currency filled. 30 percent in value often moves to cato roches access to foreign exchange.
