and russian arma advancing nick cave. while ukraine released this video, apparently from a drone, allegedly showing a russian helicopter being shot down. this battle of claim and counter claim had seen both sides blame each other for the collapse of promised humanitarian corridors. after days of relentless shelling in the key port city of maria pole, russia said on saturday morning, it would stop firing and allow civilians to flee from the area to the nearby city of val enough go. but just hours later, ukraine's deputy prime minister complained that russia wasn't respecting the partial ceasefire. nicholas neither did the thing. i did, you know, from 9 o'clock in the morning on march 5th, we had a preliminary agreement that we will create to shipping italian curry to us long havoc and mario pl. so i note the fact that russia has violated its agreements even

with the red cross and has not complied with its commitments and the shelling the city of on the that you up studia, mr. will navarra ah rushes defense ministry, blame to ukraine for the sci fi? as collapse on saturday evening, it confirmed that russia had resumed offensive actions on maria po. for those civilians still trapped in the city. the war of words is irrelevant compared to the real human cost of the ongoing conflict. a boy just 18 months old hit by shelling, doctors could not save his life. oh, for more on the situation. let's bring in d. w as much. he has bellingham, who is in key for us mathias. what the situation they're in and around the capitol . yeah, we have arrived yesterday in key as you can see, i am in my hotel room now. the curfew is not yet over here at night. there's

a curve, you're still in the city and the city is quite empty right now. a few people are on the streets. many have left the capital of others prefer not to go out too much of the city has been shelled before, but in the last few days it's been rather quiet. there's heavy fighting in the northern suburbs and northern north east and north western suburbs are out of the city. and there is, of course, a sense of pressure and a anticipation that things might get much worse. but for now, life is possible. here supermarkets, open for people are able to get food. there's electricity and water and, and are of course a lot of roadblocks, military in the city, when you move around in the city, you'll be checked several times. but, but overall, the situation is calm nor common sense. right out what do you know? i mean being in clear what you know about the situation now. so the south in maria,

pull a port city under siege and we know that the cease fire there are to allow the evacuation of civilians collapsed. what's, what's happening now? well, the situation is dire there because the city has been under, under fire, under constant fire. that's what we're here for a few days now. 6 days and the people are trapped. there's electricity. water are off and people are really surviving on what they, what, what they can find these, this corridor, this, this humanitarian corridor to evacuate. people was badly needed. we know that people were already gathering there was a cease fire place, but then the shelling started again and people had to return to their shelters. yesterday. the mayor of the city has appealed to russia to allow you to allow evacuation of people, but it's completely clear what is going to happen next. also,

information from there is limited because not only of course, electricity is down, but also communications. but the message messages we are getting are really dire as much as spelling cave there for us mathias, thank you so much. as we mentioned earlier, the prime minister, not only been, it was in moscow, went to after his meeting with president putin. the israeli leader spoke with lensky, the ukranian president over the phone before making his way to berlin, to meet his german counterpart of schultz. and for more on that led to bring in detail these political correspondent benjamin on various gruber, benjamin. what do we know about this meeting with the german chancellor? there's not a lot of information that we have. there was no press conference after this meeting would we have was a press release that was treated by the german government spokesperson that around

1 40 am. so pretty late, he said, there was a 90 minutes talking of course the center of this talks were, was of course, a, what a, the israeli prime minister spoke with, with vladimir putin when he, when they met in moscow earlier that day. the common goal remains to end the war in ukraine as quickly as possible. this statement also sat so quite similar to what both leaders agreed on when they met in israel earlier this week when all actually visited it. the country for the 1st time was german chancellor. why did to bennett actually take the initiative to mediate in this conflict, to what, what is the motivation is quite an interesting position that israel is in right now. if we compare all of charles and also it israel's prime minister bennett, and how they reacted to russia's invasion of ukraine,

it has been quite different approaches. on the german side, we had all our shows on one side saying that there will increase the defense budget, hold the non stream to pipeline and also criticized rush of something that israel has not done. at least not. israel's prime minister. israel's foreign minister has criticized in russia's aggression but is the prime minister that has not done so yet because israel has a pretty good, pretty warm and contact to both kids and moscow. and they had to interest here on one side of the, the interests of israel. being part of their west and the lines and also close it to the u. s. but this also a security interest when it comes to israel, when it comes to securing it's borders as well. israel has a military corporation with russia, especially in a neighboring country of syria. so of course, they have to see if this possible somehow to keep this roll nice. that many have

sat, it could happen. of course, both will closely follow the peace talks between russia and ukraine that are expected to sort of monday. well, thank you so much. benjamin. as our, as grew by that in chief crowds of men have been lining up to join the ukrainian army. the government is bound men between the ages of 18 and 60, from leaving the country to keep them available for military conscription. and while the spirit of resistance is strong, it also means many men are having to say, painful farewells to family members who are fleeing the war. last embrace before she can board the train, he is staying behind and keith, to fight vladimir putin invasion as tearing apart thousands of families in ukraine . people at the station just want to get away away from the thousands of russian soldiers who want to take the ukrainian capital by force will look at that of all

harsh human. i'm really worried about my 3 kids and i want to come back, but now i'm very scared every year. so you're what you're good. as desperation grows, so does the number of people willing to board a train? ah and while women children and the elderly get on their husbands, fathers and sons faced the grim reality that they might never see them again. this man had just put his wife and 2 small children on the train. his 8 year old son gave him his toy ambulance before he boarded. the urge to go with loved ones is almost unbearable. i said we will fight to the end. it will be easier for us to mind when you, with men aged 18 to 60,

are not allowed to leave the country. but some miners choose to stay behind as well . they are joining the territorial defense, the reserve fighters, where yellow arm bends. they have become omnipresent in the streets and outskirts of keith. most of them are inexperience, but they are motivated to defend their country. oh, russia's unprovoked attack on its neighbor has seen a vast global outpouring of public support for ukraine, massive weekend demonstrations, half once again, been taking place around the world. demonstrators called for solidarity with ukraine condemning russia's president, putin and calling for an end to the war. on the streets of london, rome, tokyo, and on and on one of the throngs of people around the world showed their support

for ukraine. and their condemnation of russia. in munich, thousands of people formed a human chain that stretched for more than 4 kilometers within. i think it's totally awful, but the russians are doing on what putting us doing. you the murderer outrage over the warren ukraine is running high. as the un says, russian bombardment has already killed hundreds of civilians. a huge turnout at paris is plus delivery. public demonstrators told d w, they want the west to step up support. this is a massive, massive injustice and one of the worst thing that happened in my life. so i'm, and we're here to send a clear message to the ukrainian people to support a message to vladimir preaching, to stop. now, when a message to europe in the west, you've done good so far do more. while moscow has forbidden protests that doesn't stop russians abroad from speaking out against their president. this war is war from our president,

mr. wooten and non war of people. he wants to portrayed this war as if she, it's war afresh, but it's not, it's war wouldn't include russian. people don't support him. heck, while most of the world has condemned putin, he is not entirely without support outside his country, as evidenced by the turnout at this pro russian rally in the central african republic. a russia came to our country in a moment of crisis. our country has suffered, our country has been mistreated by the rebels. and that is why we came to support russia, which came to give peace to our country. i. yes, but russia has brought war, not peace to you, crane. and it's the ukrainian flag that is flying at most anti war demonstrations around the world this week. and ukraine was on everyone's minds at various sporting events across the world. this weekend. the ukrainian colors were prominently displayed of the big bonus league game between leaders by munich and

that place lever cosen. it was also a coal for peace, which was never to cross saturdays fixtures on the fields and own gall from captain thomas miller. men toast by an i to settle for a one wonderful in the gym and title race watching d w, and use life from berlin. we'll be back with the latest news at the top of the, our community and thanks for watching. stay tuned. and we're interested in the global economy, our portfolio d w business. beyond here, the closer look at the project, our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance. east this is wes.
