ah ah ah ah, this is dede ebony, news live from berlin, a 2nd attempt today to evacuate ukrainian civilians, officials in the besieged city of mary who paul say they are beginning efforts to move people to safety along a humanitarian car at all. i were forced to postpone evacuations on saturday. you to cease 5 violations. and hundreds of men mine are in the capital cave to join the army united in their resolved to defend their homeland from hooton's invasion. plus

we report from the german polish border where volunteers are organizing icon boys, the ukrainians, and transportation for refugees seeking safety. ah, i'm rebecca route is welcome to the program authorities in ukraine's port city of mary who paul say they've agreed another temporary safe fire with russian forces and a renewing efforts to evacuate. some of the 400000 civilians traps their attempts to get residents out of mary poland, and another city besieged by moscow's troops in southeast a new crime will called off on saturday. both sides accused the other of violating a temporary truce. russian forces resumed their attacks against several case cities . the deputies met his putting out is in care for us mateus,

a 2nd attempt to day at humanitarian essays fire to allow for evacuations. now there are reports that people had already started to leave is the sci fi are more likely to hold to day than yesterday? we don't have a clear picture yet. it seems that people have started to leave. but sir, this is to be at to be confirmed. bosses have left this morning for the or for murray, opal, anders, so far we are not hearing anything that suggests that this is fire has been violated so far. so there's hope that this is going to work or will know when it's done. i think everything is a little bit fragile at the moment and her, we don't even know exactly how this yesterday happened. what happened? exactly a so there it is. fire was broken. so um, or carefully optimistic that this time some people will get out, but we need confirmation and your and clear of what the situation there in the capital and surrounds you can see that the streets are almost empty here

in their capital arm there and people are so careful, many of us left the city so give resembles a lot or has a lot of her resemblance to a ghost town right now people are who have not left are basically staying at home a lot. um, in the outskirts we're hearing of severe fights again. um we have also heard news that some civilians trying to flee the most her contest at herb herb suburbs. the places where fighting has been taking place for days where the humanitarian situation is really dire and or where people have been sitting in the shelters for days that had to try people trying to flee. these areas have been shelled and there was supposed to be a humanitarian corridor there as well. it has not happened yet. of latter, ma'am hilton warned yesterday that western sanctions are basically and dec declaration of war is. that is this than the leads to the next level of escalation

. nobody dodges sled him and put his warnings any more after this. i think everything, every threat he makes, has to be taken serious. however, the russian army is engaged now in ukraine, and it's doing much worse than putting himself might have anticipated. and also many observers. so this might not be imminent, but the countries that are on his menu that he has appetite for that there is, are quite a few. and of course, this might also mean at some point that he might engage with countries that are a part of nato. this is not imminent, as long as things go the way they are now in ukraine. but sir, there's no need to, to, to, to dodge putin's warnings. what about that? is they the infamous, stalled convoy? are there any signs of that getting up and running and what would that mean?

again, please. which convoy that infamous convoy that's now stalled and thick the 60 kilometer conway that's told outside of give yeah, yeah. i see. i see. um yeah, this did. it has been standing there for days and it has not moving the my best guess is that some to some merge technology, there's broken or they have, they don't have supply or to, to move this convoy. it seems to be rather a case of bad planning on by the russian army than an imminent threat. but of course, all everything we are hearing saying, and under who we think we know is, is to be seen with caution. or the situation is very hard to everything is very hard to verify. but the best guess at the moment is that this was never meant to be a huge convoy, but that these cars are stuck on the road and that this car, this is rather a traffic jam that can not be resolved than an attacking convoy. database mathias

spelling and k for us meant here. thank you. british military intelligence sources say russian forces and our deliberately targeting areas populated by civilians. response to the ukranian resistance, which is slowing rushes advance in spite of these increasingly brutal tactics. volunteers, including many from outside ukraine, are signing up to join ukraine's army men between the ages of 18 and 16 have to stay in the country so they're available for conscription. these men are determined to fight for their country, even in the face of russian firepower. and without support from nato here and keep their waiting to sign up, the ukraine armed forces resolved to do their part for the war effort. not to me. it was the case, which is my duty level. i want be useful if i want to help you. i want to protect, i want to fight back. i want my family to return to ukraine as soon as possible. i

will do my best. other volunteers stalking up for the battle ahead and optimistic about victory. we know why we defend our country and our guys that are actually standing there and fighting our russian military forces. they know what they're doing, those guys, they don't, we know what we are doing. and that's why, really, when it's that determination that's helped inspire volunteers from much further field to join the fight and trying to mimic theresa lensky here, for instance, referencing this barbara, even though the country for on and everybody's just thought isiah galvan was very important for no illusions on a romantic ideas of war, old. i'm going to be some hero will make a difference or any of the spice is water. you could die. yes. going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city via pin just outside key. it looks likely the volunteer bravery will soon be put to the test

and as find all those volunteers, the ukrainian military remains outnumbered. but more and more reports show that russia's invasion has slowed or even stopped. in recent days, russian soldiers have moved into ukraine's north, east and south, although it's not clear how much territory they actually control. columns are getting close to the capital cave. and as we heard earlier, the city of mary who paul on the black sea has been under sage for days with us now from london, his ed arnold hayes, a european security expert with royal united services institute, a defense think tank, and thank you for joining database. this morning, where are now a week and a half into the war in ukraine, militarily. how is russia doing so yes, run de latanus for um and the wishing military. i'm have performed very poorly and

i think it's a very poor plan that executed or so poorly. um they are, their movement is very constrained. it's been very slow in some ways, it's been very complex. and as you just highlighted in your piece, the logistics problems of supplying for line troops, he said hampering efforts across the country to continue their advance. and the invasion started on the north east and south. and we're seeing a lot better performance to the south. um, but in the northeastern north stoled and actually in some places the ukrainian forces are putting in quite small. ready scale at the moment, very a sophisticated counter attacks which is causing tuition advancement, serious problems. how are the ukrainians doing it? i mean, as we've just said, they're outnumbered our at soldiers and it sold as ebay still holding their right? how are they doing? yes, we know this is

a case of the russians performing very poorly, but the ukrainians, performing exemplary, and that's both the russian, i sorry, the wrong, the a ukrainian professional military, but also civil society or the ukrainians will to fight as proved, decisive. any initial phases over the weekend or until around one day. and then as we have moved into phase 2 and they are adapting a air force is still intact, both depleted. and like i said, they're, they've put a, a quite remarkable counterattack in or around and khaki and also to the west of key f, which is meaning that the wishing and circumvents of kiev is taking a lot longer in terms of the time and actually ground forces are starting to target the convoy to the north of kia because it's static and very vulnerable. now there's been so much conjecture about a no fly zone and passion plays for and against. and if we, if we say,

agree with those saying no to the no fly zone, that it will only lead to escalation, then what else should the west be doing to support you? crime right now. yes, that's right. and i think it's important to know that there are a variety of technical measures that you know a no fly zone is not just a blanket, no fly zone as a is a grade in between. um, but essentially what it mean at this moment in time is the active suppression of air defense assets, both in belarus and russia, and actually new hunting and destroying russian aircraft within that area, which the risks of escalation are very high. that just with this week we've seen, i'm fortunate romanian. made 21 ah, go down in the black, sierra g to mechanical issues, not actually due to the enemy fire. and also the session rescue helicopter that went to retrieve the pilots. also went, bounced you to bad weather, so it's a case where it's illustrated evolve how these things can actually be misinterpreted on the ground in the fog of war. so everyone is worried about

escalation. at the moment, nato and the resting countries are continuing the supply of legal aid by continuing intelligence sharing, and possibly even as supporting ukrainian. net targeting and the intelligence and decision support on the ground are, which is not inconsiderable support. the nato nations are providing now ukraine says it's killed more than $11000.00 soldiers. now that's obvious, a number that is impossible to verify this state. russia only admitting to losing several 100. what could that name? yes, mean it's very difficult to provide accurate numbers and do russians are funny, it puts out an official figure in the last couple of days, which does seem very low, but still in terms off early, 11 days, inter operational are actually quite high. you mean, if we take her roughly the middle number of the russian reports of the credit report,

that's around 5000 meaningful context. that is and more than the americans lost in the combat operations in iraq. and that's only an 11 days as opposed to 7 years. so it is considerable. the other thing with the bushings military is the appendix. now assess that 95 percent of the combat power, there was a master round ukraine for this operation has now been committed to the country. so they don't have a reserve which should really what it's about 30 percent. it's actually now with 5 . i'm so very quickly, i think the russian plan all stay home country strategy is unraveling. can they just might not have the known as t achieve the military objectives that they yeah. minds have set themselves at arnold from britons at royal united services institute. thanks so much for your time. thank you. and let's take a look now at some other developments in the conflict credit card, johns mastercard and visa say they're suspending operations in russia dealing the

latest blow to the increasingly isolated countries in battle financial system. the move in follows crushing economic sanctions imposed by the west in response to president putin's war on ukraine. russia's largest airline state and air flaws says it will hold all international flights except to belarus from the 8th of march. this comes off to russia's aviation agency will in the russian plains laced from foreign companies, could be impounded under international sanctions. 33 countries have already banned russian aircraft from the s base. several western media organizations say they're suspending reporting and russia with many journalists leaving the country. the decision comes after the kremlin pass legislation cracking down on independent reporting. under the new law journalists can face up to 15 years in prison for describing putin's attack on ukraine as an invasion war. then while

israel israel appears to be emerging as a diplomatic dark horse on saturday, prime minister naphtali bennett became the 1st world leader to meet with vladimir putin. since the invasion began, the surprise meeting was followed by talks with ukrainian president zalinski than it then travelled on to germany the 2nd time this week that the 2 met leaders met after sholtes visited jerusalem on wednesday to discuss a diplomatic solution to the crisis. bennett has offered to act as a mediator with israel, maintaining good relations with both russia and ukraine of war. let's bring a database political correspond. benjamin alvarez gruber, benjamin. what do we know about the meeting between chancellor shelter and israel's natalia bennett? it was a 90 minutes talk the we don't have more details of how these talks between israel's prime minister and the russian president vladimir putin went. but both of them and the line of the commitment and said that they will do anything that they can. so

everything in there is strength to enter war in ukraine as soon as possible. why did bennett take the initiative to mediate in this conflict? israel is a quite interesting position because they have warming very good relations, both to kiev and also to moscow. but there are 2 interest to your contrasting interests when we look at israel. on one side, of course, it wants to belong to the western alliance, one to show itself close to the us. but on the other side, there's no security risk as well as it has a military corporation with russia in syria. so that's where many see israel and salons. you're also. busy asked israel to try to be a mediator and try to find common ground between russia and ukraine. and of course both lead us. so israel's prime minister, banner and all awful will be closely following the 3rd rounds of 2 peace talks between russia and ukraine. that is expected to take place on monday. then in an

hour as group of thanks very much take his president ergo, on has held a phone call with russian counterpart vladimir putin. the turkish later was expected to urge put into a great to a cease fire in ukraine. turkey also has close relations with both moscow and keith bart recently moved to limit the passage of russian warships into the black sea. under the mantra convention anchored can block ships from passing through its straits during war time. they can't prevent them from returning to their home ports . dw diane jones is in istanbul. forrester, and what do you know about that? call between a president and patton? well the call has finished up, but there's been no readout or what actually happened in those talks that neither mussman or uncomfortable lease or any information as of yet. but i touched presenter richard tapered one. so spokesman, the brown collins,

speaking to reporters on saturday, said that early on in those talks, we'll call for an end to hostilities by russia and failing that, at least of all the these growing international calls for a cease fire to allow humanitarian corridors to be established to it, to these besieged cities all across the ukraine, where then the humanitarian aid can be delivered and civilians can exit. and that would be the message for mode one, apparently will was delivered to put in along with the fact that according to color, the detox position is it can be no resolution to conflict until there's a c c sation for of hump of the conflict and a turkey is trying to position itself as a, as a possible mediator ever since the conflict started on cra, has been trying to position itself to mediate between nope, of ukraine in voucher as prisoners. one has close relations with both those countries, presidents, but as a fietta hootin has rebuffed those efforts by turkey. could these light is developed be seen as tacky? taking aside, i mean, as you say, there, nato country has really close relations with ukraine and russia.

well that's the question that i'm in this conference really put took in a very tight position. i've been walking a tightrope trying to balance relations with both sides of on one side. turkey hasn't her imposed her sanctions against russia in his own fight. reject to thems are saying that they are counterproductive or, and also toki has not close to tears based to russian civil plains despite most of its western allies doing that. but the same time turkey has taken a tough stance against russia is clothes, did sir stumble, boisterous waterways to russian ships on top of that, it has been supplying lot of sophisticated weapons, few great. in particular, it's a lot worthy, a drones which have impacted russian military and a very big and significant way. so i think that their expectation is that ultimately turkey is siding with ukraine. and i think the turkey's western allies will be looking at this at the possibility of reaching turkey's relationship reassurance. the usa, the deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman,

bought on saturday, holding talked over you pre k w. dorian jones for us in is temple. thank you. and in other news, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin is in moldova to pledge american support to the country, which has nearly over to see nearly a quarter of a 1000000 refugees from ukraine pouring in during his visit. blaine can also say that the united states was working actively on a deal with poland to supply ukraine, which fighter jets tens of thousands of people around the world have been protesting against the russian invasion of ukraine. demonstrations condemning russia's president. putin took place in cities across the united states, as well as in paris, london, and other european capitals. with no end in sight to the war at the number of refugees keeps climbing. the un says the total

figure of people who fled ukraine has now topped one and a half 1000000 a calls at the fastest growing refugee crisis since world war 2. many of those refugees fleeing would prefer to stay near by in surrounding countries such as poland, slovakia, or romania. but more and more are also looking for the west. the border cities of frankfort, oda, in germany, and switzer in poland. already have a very close partnership. within a few days, people there put together a launch support network for refugees. they nobody reporter, axle robot has more. oh, mike frito, he's tries to keep track. no, you fool. so here are food and hygiene items are closed outside. the office of his nursing office in frankfort order on the polish border looks like the warehouse of a general store. a bag full of baby food has just been handed in donations for the people of ukraine. cardboard boxes are piling up and friends everywhere are helping

to pack. he and his partner started an appeal for donations immediately after the russian invasion of ukraine. they wanted to bring the donated items across poland to the korean border in a convoy allan, who you're not period products for women, lots of diapers for the children. the response for children was really huge because children also suffer the most in war. baba prose budget speaks from his own experience. almost him. i come by the former yugoslavia i experienced war as a child or my family lost everything. we had nothing but a woman comes who wants to provide donations for her home country ukrainian not ukrainian. she has lost contact with her relatives who live in key of but tatiana obliged cannot sit around doing nothing to many people have wishes. and since i have time at the moment, i am collecting everything and donating things that people need. but i would,

you mentioned vincent on be given hub across the odor river lies so beachy, the polish part of the city. oh lena punky bola is out and about here. she has hardly gotten any sleep for days. she too, comes from ukraine and now she is organizing housing for fellow compatriots who have fled. she put up 2 women with their children in a hotel. they arrived in the night and they don't want to show their faces. we were on the road for 48 hours. the bus had to leave the city at full speed and shells were exploding behind us. and now our men are going to war when she wants to talk about her family in ukraine, tears begin to flow on the german side in frankfort under order. the last aid supplies are being stuffed into cars. originally 6 cars were planned, but now there are 14 trucks and cars filled to bursting all making their way to the

ukrainian border. i feel good. i feel brave and i'm excited. ok, city. of course that's a big thing we're doing now. it's more. and if everything goes well on their way back to germany, they want to take along as many ukrainian refugees as they can. i hear in berlin, a jewish community has welcomed more than a 100 refugee children who had helped evacuate from a foster home in odessa. the children arrived after a bus journey that took them from the black sea city through moldova romania hungry and the czech republic. before finally reaching germany, i had spent the 1st several nights after the russian invasion, sheltering in the cellar of their foster home. o. 2 via is now safe from berlin, but the 5 week old baby has already experienced tragedy. his mother gave him up to foster care in the hopes he could find safety. she came to us when becky was 4

days old. she came with the baby. she gave him shem to my father to the rabbi over there. so and she turned around and she called and she didn't give the kid to via is one of 105 jewish children who have been brought to germany from odessa. the jewish community in the ukrainian city include several holocaust survivors who now live in fear of russian atrocities a berlin rabbi agreed to help. and now in the war, our job changed. we now we're doing another stuff who was teaching now we saving lives. that's our job. it took them 2 days to reach berlin, and the 2 bosses were given priority. clarence to drive in to romania. but where the community separated those and safety feared for the others who stayed behind. i afraid yes. the cause and my mother and father are safe and ukraine in odessa
