past week and that heavy cloud cover has prevented its satellites from taking new images. in the past day, i shot while ago ukrainian president vladimir zalinski had a defiant message for russian troops would be one in there. they actually showed the wherever they go, they will be destroyed for they will not have come here. they will not have food and it will. they will not have one quiet moment to willie. the occupiers will receive only one thing from ukrainians. resistance stop vs resistant gloves. leave the such resistance that they will forever remember that we don't give up what is ours are will need that they will remember what a patriotic war is vina. yes, for us ukrainians. this is a patch, erotic war of each is yanna. we know how patriot it was, start which and i and we know how the end v for the invaders. she will me, zak inch, garza awake into this war. there are still no clear numbers of casualties on either

side, but it is clear that ukrainian civilians are paying a heavy price. a government in cave says some 2000 civilians have been killed in russian air strikes. so far. a claim that has not been independently verified. an emotional reunion. this ukrainian man embraces his family for the 1st time since they were separated by a russian missile strike on cave. his wife and children had stepped out of their apartment, moments before the capitals tv tower was hit. but the soldiers shouted, ran quickly, which it was very scary. my youngest son ran and shouted faster, faster, were being shot. we're not going to make it. and we came here to the shelter. now he's afraid to got side and can start crying. my oldest son shouted in his sleep. he shouted mom, we have to go to the shelter. people have been sheltering and caves metro stations

for days. the young and old pets and humans alike. they don't know how long they'll have to spend down here or what will happen when their food runs out above ground. the invasion continues. shelling and street fighting between ukrainians and russian paratroopers have left ukraine's 2nd largest city park give in ruins. hundreds of fear dead in the port city of mary paul. after a 15 hour long russian bombardment and russia says it has taken full control of his son in the country south. one resident recorded the moment, he opened his curtains to see a russian tank in the street. they are telling people to stay in sight, shooting and hear,

hear the sounds. i think they should stop recording before something shoot through my hand. as air raid sirens blair out across cave. the bashful for the heart of ukraine continues. dw correspondent nick connelly joins me now from levin the west of ukraine. nick, what more could you tell us about the situation there this morning? well, it looks like that russian land, pensive has got stuck. we also those pretty big story pictures of a column of rushing hardware that was estimates to be fixed to go to long. that is not going anywhere. even in part seems to be stuck in the mud. i think the russians are coming up against a lot more in the way of resistance from ukrainians than they expect to. i think also the soldiers, many of whom are very, very young conscripts expected to be greeted with open arms that has not happened.

ukrainian army is doing better than expected and using the modern western empty tank and across and it was supplied by the u. s. u k. rather nathan countries in recent months and the population is just not giving them any peace. we have extra images of the whole line, the people standing outside that towns on the roads in basically trying to block the advance, those russian tanks with their bodies and telling the often very kind of confused russian soldiers to go home and no one wants and presumably in response to all of that, what you just said, vladimir putin appears to have changed his strategy to effectively an all out assault on ukrainian cities. the civilian death. hell is rising rapidly, with the reports of cluster bombs as well. what, what could you tell us about that? it's, it's a really sad picture coming out of, as you mentioned in your introduction to that we were in when that 16 steps that the initial date that the american said would be the invasion date. then everything was relaxed and they did that kind of big bang didn't happen,

but the same street through walking on then the same people we were talking to them and now sending us pictures of homes destroyed or from neighbors killed. and it does seem like the russians chain. yeah, they realize they're not winning the kind of hand to handle kind of direct confrontation. and they have to use the only real advantage to have, which is power and indiscriminate bombing, increasingly targeting civil infrastructure power stations, teaching clothes, all the kind of things that can really up the price for, for the population and keeping people trapped and big cities without pow potentially without eat, i guess take vacation is that that will increase the pressure on ukraine's democratically elected governments to get into compromise, to capitulate. i mean, you have to remember that russians demands are basically ukraine to put up the white flag. they want ukraine to demilitarized, to be permanently vulnerable to russian attack, and to so called denot supply, whatever that means they haven't explained it. basically they have said that they think that ukraine's democratic government is illegitimate. and that basically

russia gets inside, who's in charge in this country, so very difficult. see where the government can really find any space for negotiation given those maximus. mon come, adam oscar. now as we've been reporting this morning, there are conflicting reports about various things in particular, who's in control of her phone. how difficult is it for journalists like yourself and others to get reliable information about what's going on? it is extraordinary difficult because there are few journalists in the actual frontline areas and it's but i mean here on the inside on the russian held side basically 0 information coming out on both sides are trying to spin things in that direction to keep morale up with that especially in russia, where there's basically no information about this war being given to the russian public in widest sense, even calling it a war is illegal. it's banned essentially by russia authority, a few independent media who actually doing that. we're giving more information, have now been shut down, taking way in recent days. and we're seeing

a real information where ukrainians, trying to cool up their friends, relatives in russia, to kind of draw their attention to what's going on as make sure they actually pay attention to pictures. and on able to just go by and pretend was happening. and we saw earlier, we just heard defiant message from president, a lot of the landscape saying the occupies will receive only one thing from ukrainians. and that resistance fees, resistance, are you seeing the same kind of resolve from the, you're kind of that you're speaking to, that they're still willing to fight back or as this drags on. now, people starting to lose hope, i think, by making such extraordinary demands. russia has innocent sort of self into their basically russia has put on the table that it doesn't the ukraine as the religious independent state, but they only see ukraine as viable if it's essentially manageable and direct biddable from moscow. so they basically brought most people like up against themselves who previously were open. they're much more negotiation with russia in

st. moscow. patriarchy a little dog church, seen for a long time, was going to russia. the main kind of source of influencing crime. coming out, bishop saying that you're going to go and fight, telling russians that they are committing a sin of brotherly war. that this is not allowed. we've seen russians stars of russian kind of media. and so people coming out against this war and ukrainian stalls, real popular russia trying to get the rest of the relation to engage with this. and this is becoming increasingly a difficult situation even for the russian state itself. you've had to personal just getting very worried about their own population kind of realizing what's going on here. as the teachers know the ground, you've seen lots of families going to the border. the husband son's father bring their wives, the daughters, the children, to poland, to safety in the west, and then coming back to fights and weaving teen ordinary villages, taking tanks, stealing tank from the russians to sending russian troops down the wrong way into

basic ambush. and so this really feels like a kind of whole side, you know, where you just where i am now in the universe. do there are students making camouflaged matching for the all me question. well, maybe how much effect that really has, but it definitely feels like everyone needs that distraction and need to have that bed doing that bit huge amounts of money being collected, people giving into salaries to the army. there is really a sense that given how open and how aggressive this russian attack has been and how clear they've been about their desire to basically turn ukraine into kind of satellite state. i think they really have brought the cranium side together against them. fine nectar. thanks. very much for that, stay safe date of his neck huntley in love. if the un refugee agency says the number of people fleeing ukraine has now passed the 1000000 mark, making it the fastest exodus of refugees. so far the century, most heading towards poland where the other neighboring countries had as romania also taking in refugees. but sama having to wait longer than others to across to

safety. as dw correspondent, fanny fashion observed a puddled now on the border. finally here, thousands are pouring towards the ukrainian border with romania as word spreads of the tale. back of refugees of the polish crossing with harrowing image is still in our minds and few items in their hands. they arrive at the last checkpoint to safety oksana and her kids needed 4 days to get here from keith. on her mind. what's ahead. we are going to look for work she car because i need to provide for my children and my husband stage to defend his country. you know, men are fighting age between 18 and 60 have to stay there also many none. ukrainians who want to students migrant workers. about half a 1000000 according to you and estimates. hundreds of thousands of people are

fleeing for their lives, heading west for the border. not all these people from across ukraine are running from the same thing. but are they all getting the same treatment? i've met flat from heavily bon keith, a student from egypt. he says he's growing frustrated about being made to wait in freezing temperatures while ukrainians are let through. the they let us only was of to like, oh, it's hundreds of jones we will was i can say anything or others would study or humans also like visit us. any bishop care more about us. i've met says he has already been to live if, but was not let through at the border with pool and there we are far away from other countries as the same situation swore also on us. i don't think we should be for them to live own, to live. right. his friend also from egypt disagree on his way. i feel the world's as people. they have no home to go. and actually we have home we have is are to we

can go now like to see what see don't have any bliss to those officials here. do not want to talk on camera about why there are 2 lines, one for foreigners, one for ukrainians. but they tell us, their goal is to maintain con, here. they're concerned that the situation might get out of control as more refugees take the alternative route to romania. we are not allowed to firm i've met and his friends crossed the border. but after a few hours, they do, just like thousands of others. finally to safety and database correspond at santa fashion, who filed that report, joins me now. fanny, you're about 50 kilometers from the border with romania and moldova. how is the situation where you are people in chattanoog suit, which is yes about 50 to 60 kilometers from the border with the romania trying to gather basically a 1st of all the belongings and the energy to make it through this

a next challenge to get across the board of the people arrive here in chat nifty. have been through a lot already. some of them have been actually traveling for the past 4 days to make it from keith, or from keith all the way here to the southwestern part of ukraine. so an extra as to them trying to make it across the border and as we have seen in that report, but also yesterday being at the board of romania. there are a lot of people who are not trying to look for alternative routes, as we know at the beginning of this full scale invasion that started last week that just a week ago and thursday, lot of people are pouring towards said the are western border with paul and but now as more and more people, i tried to make it through a pool and which is getting more and more difficult by today. doors to looking for alternative routes be through romania, moldova, hungary. there is a chance, a com tense, add the board that we have witness yesterday because you have to imagine once you make it to the buddha, you really, i've been through a lot of regard.
