o w ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin, a few hours to flee russia and out as a partial, steve's fire to allow humanitarian corridors out of to the cities, including the key port of marie of ball. elsewhere the bombing continues with russian forces attempting to surround the capital cliff and the 2nd largest city of khaki. also coming up, refugees already on the move are finding safety in neighboring countries. we'll get

an update on how ukrainians fleeing the war being welcome in poland. ah, well come on monica jones and belinda tabby with us. russia's defense ministry has declared a 5 hour partial cease fire to allow residents of 2 besieged cities to evacuate. shabanni terry corridors are now open for people. in of all know, waka and the strategic port city of mary jo paul in south eastern ukraine. mary jo poles may, i says, the city is without water and power and is running out of food after being surrounded by russian forces. off to days of relentless shelling hair in the key port, city of matter, you both, russia has said it will stop firing and allow civilians to flee. the partial sci fi was confirmed by the cities man and applies here in the nearby town of villanova,

which is seen heavy fighting as well. but they're far from the only areas devastated by russian bombardment, president vladimir lensky, has been pleading with nato to set up a no fly zone to stop russian asked, writes like this one outside cave, but nato has ruled that out. and all that war in europe, that's what the alliance wants to avoid. according to u. s. secretary of state anthony blank, and a nate. so the only way to actually implement something like a no fly zone is to send nato planes into ukrainian air space and to shoot down russian plants that are crudely teufel flesh war in europe. prism bite has been clear that we are not going to get into a war with russia as fighting and as the 10th day, the situation in ukraine becomes more and more desperate casualties, amounting and over 1000000 people have now fled the country. there are ports of severe food and water shorts. she is in some cities including keith,

but presidents lensky stressed on friday night that he still at his post in the capitol, causing a lot me of the event every 2nd day. the rumor appears that i ran from ukraine from keith, all from my office. as you can see, i'm here today i'm. he's here in york by city of mallet to paul to the south russian soldiers handout food. it's the 2nd city in ukraine said to be under the invaders control off to house on with russian forces on the move across the country . a native ruling out intervention. people here are preparing for a long, bitter battle ahead. our correspondent, funny for sure is joining me now. she's in a chair near to see in western ukraine. funny russian forces will stop will have partly stopped already firing to allow humanitarian corridors out of the ukraine in cities are off maria paul are vol nava car. what do you know about that?

local authority, semarino pool, have just confirmed that that she may tearing corridor will start so people can be evacuated during the day to day. now we have to remind everyone here that mario pool was heavily shell during the past couple of days. people are not just spending just their night in bomb shelters, but basically we're staying there for days. also the, a mayor of mattie pool in a very emotional address in a video address and friday may clear that elegy that apparently there's no electricity, no running water. so very basics of, of, of what you need are missing are lacking right now for people. so it's very, very crucial time now to evacuate people as a, as ukrainian forces are actually expecting that regardless whether this a unity of course or is going to be set up. and that's not going to stop russia to a shall other cities in the meantime. in fact, rushes defense minister has just said that they're going to continue with their attacks. there is hope now, at least for the citizens of matthew pool,

that at least the citizens of that city in the south is strategically a located in a southern, a part of ukraine can leave mario pool. but let's really see how that's going to turn out the i will. so skepticism is also skepticism on the ground here, after all. oh, and after the 2nd round of the so called peace talks between ukrainian, russian delegation says ceasefire and, and, and to many tearing corridors. we're also promised and we haven't seen that unfold . but now that the local authorities in mateo pool are seeing that they believe that's going to happen. at least the hopes are increasing for the people of mario poor. and of course you mentioned already the intensity of the fighting off attacks is increasing. what's the situation where you are i'm here basically at the i would call it the trends each town towards the remaining board of yeah, about 50 kilometers away from

a romania people who come here internally displaced people from ukraine are trying to say, let's say for a couple of hours a couple of days before they faced that next challenge crossing the border to voice . a romania things here in the study, tennessee are quite peaceful, i should say, relatively peaceful because of course we have heard the sirens blaring during the past couple of days. people going to bomb shelters here as well. there is a civilian airport near by. no, russia claims. they're not going to attack civilian infrastructure on the military units. but of course, we have seen that during the past couple of days, or in fact, i should rather say for more than a week now that civilian infrastructure has been also affected. so people here in this relatively peaceful town in the southern, the western part of ukraine. ah, not a 100 percent. sure. obviously just how long this town is going to remain safe. right . funny, fisher stay safe. ah, and thank you so much for this report. of

a more let sir, bring in consulting eggers now he's a russian political analyst and he can tell us more about the russian perspective. konstantin, let 1st begin with this recent development. russia ordering a ceasefire to ensure humanitarian corridors. what's behind that move? what does that mean? well, unfortunately i think that behind this move is a massive sold on body. but i think this is a way for the driver to say, well, you see, we made everything possible to save the civilians. whoever didn't leave the city. well, we have nothing more to do that. we are not to blame. as you probably see, the offense, it seems to be focusing now not on taking the cities, which i think militarily is quite quite said because trying to storm even mario who will mean house to house fighting,

which is next huge casualties. all the packing side. but i think it's actually besieging the cities, including an important body and showing them indiscriminately. and this is really, really, i'm afraid, very bad news for the civilian population. and this seems to be the tactic now order than the strategy of the russian boston new grants, which has been losing steam and which seems to be drowned into holes. it's, it will be, i mean, it will require, it's difficult for the russian forces. now to continue taking more territory, taking more it is controlling more. but the certainly trying to take more nuclear power plants view as a message to the u. n. says that russian forces are now closing in on ukraine. second largest nuclear power plant. after receiving the largest one on friday, what is russia strategy here? well, i am afraid,

there are 2 aims here. wrong is purely strict. did you go to control a significant part of ukraine's energy grid and supply of energy central. but the 2nd thing is a psychological power plan, which is very much in the styles of living here. fulton, look, i'm so crazy. i don't care if i show nuclear power plants. so hoping that the west will rush. you can say, well, whatever you want, but just don't play this directional. and i think that this maybe even the main calculation in terms of psychological warfare with ukraine. and frankly speaking with the west, i suppose that this is one. this is one of the very few tools left in. i'm in the kremlin cycle war arsenal and they are using constantine, a little analyst and russia expose. thank you so much. tens

of thousands of refugees arriving in poland from ukraine each day. many of those fleeing the war or children, traumatized by displacement and fear, and finding safety in railway station on the east side of the border with the parents accompanying them almost in mothers with father staying behind to fight 8 workers. say many children require psychological health to claim for heating of a more on the situation there. let's bring in a columnist, foreign policy magazine, journalist and child laura, who is in poland near the border with ukraine and shell. how has the situation developed where you are? what are you upsetting? while i'm at the international change station in the border city of premise and tens of thousands of people have arrived here. the united nations are said 1000000 ukrainians have already, you know, come entered europe. and a lot of these people i can tell you, have come right behind me at this, at this strange station. there are

a lot of wall interiors from many european countries. many, a polish polish society seems quite well coming to the ukrainian refugees. i mean, the very different experience really compared to what we've seen, how the afghans and syrians were dealt but welcoming none the less and people are arriving. i heard your journalist a from our ukraine. talk about people in mario, paul, i have met a lot of people, women really from mario paul, who landed here, one grandmother broke down in my arms children with a kiddo clinging onto their teddy bears a very, very emotional scenes, many polish ah, many ukrainians who live in poland are we're here to take these people to their homes. many polish people have opened their homes are to ukrainian refugees. so you know, it's a bit mix of, you know, this is a really, really tragic tale at possibly. you know, are the biggest one that we've seen in quite some time, but they're also a lot of humanitarian work and a lot of humanity,

i declare already pointed out the difference, sir, in and the kind of reception poland chose to refugees from ukraine than that a previous to refugees from afghanistan, for example, and some people describe this as a you turn in polish migration policy. is that what you would call it as well? me? yes, absolutely. it is in polish, but it is also largely in european policy because i've spoken to experts based in brussels and even based on germany. and there's either to words, afghans and to what syrians policy was one of externalization to keep the refugees out. whereas now it is to let the refugees come in, of course, and our experts agree that there is a racist don't do it. but there are several other reasons. one of them i mentioned which is that ukrainians, you know, already have families in several parts of europe. they have more it polish people at least think that it is easier for ukrainians to assimilate because they're culturally similar. so, there are several other reasons, and also, you know, it's neighborliness, if you look at, you know, lebanon received,

at least at the beginning, lebanon received salience pretty well. and are here they say, well, you know, ukraine is our neighbors. of course we're going to receive them in a different way. so there are all sorts of reasons. this is happening, but it is certainly a turnaround. it's a welcome turn around. nonetheless, this is how possibly refugees should be treated. maybe europe has learned a little bit of brawn this crisis, but again, you know, this is also a massive crisis when millions are coming and we were just sort of finding out the data this morning and a lot more ukrainians have come in in the last week than you know, syrians did it over a month. all right, and of course, the sheer number could be quite overwhelming eventually, until we're in poland. thank you so much. people around the world have been rallying in support of ukraine. president of a lot of mister lensky has spoken to crowds of demonstrators via video link, urging them to keep showing solidarity tens of thousands gathered in prague, the check capital to voice their outrage against the war. and in georgia, a country that has her troubled relationship with russia and people filled the

streets of the capital tbilisi, many waving ukrainian flags that were further shows office support in other major european cities demonstrations have been banned. however, in russia, the 2022 winter paralympic games, so officially open following the traditional ceremony at the birds nest stadium and beijing. but there was no place for russia and belarus, ukraine's athletes received a home welcome and some of them gesture to their defiance in the wake of the russian invasion. thursday, the international paralympic committee bowed to pressure and band russia and bella rose from competing. the games run until march, the 13th in watching, did all the news, and he has a summary of the latest developments in ukraine. russia says it has declared a partial cease fire for 5 hours to allow the evacuation of people into cities, including the strategic port, city of maria poll authorities there say the city is surrounded and running out of

food. ukrainian armed forces also report that russia is attempting to encircle the capital key of the country. second biggest city car kip, watching dw, use life from the lin. not this plenty more news and information on our website. the found that d w dot com. i'm monica jones from me in the team. evelyn, thanks for watching, speaking with imagine so many portions of lunch also. now in the world climate trade could be very often stores. this is my place, the way from just one week. how much we can really do we still have time to work. i'm doing all with what.
