a half 1000000 refugees have now fled ukraine, making it your fastest growing refugee crisis since the 2nd world war. we look at how some of them are getting help in poll. ah, i'm when go croft, welcome to the program. it's the 11th day of russia's war in ukraine. russian troops are showing cities across the country, including the besieged city of mario, paul, or to day a 2nd attempt to establish a humanitarian quarter to get residents out failed. when the russians broke a cease fire and resumed their assaults on the city. these buses ends up alicia women for a vacuum ease from the besieged city of maria full. but for a 2nd day in a row, they remain empty. they were supposed to pick up civilians from maria pull half way

between the 2 cities. but ukrainian officials said the convoy was unable to leave the city due to continued shelling, moved short off job loss, global or have trouble. there was an evacuation attempt yesterday, but the fighting continued almost lewis to result. mm hm. so there was no way to safely get people out of the city from middle to me for that is offered also. which of you need to understand the risks the fighting poses to humanitarian convoys? so the, the one that's a will were it's a dangerous undertaking, but the driver still hope they'll be another chance to rescue their fellow countrymen. proven wilson. i'm not afraid any more. there are many of us. we will find a way through my rooms. some 200000 civilians are currently trapped and maria pull the strategically important port. city has been under heavy bombardment. water and electricity remain cut off and food is running low. just outside

keith, more missiles and artillery attacks ukrainian officials say it's the same picture across the country, but ukraine's vanessia effort was also hit by missile strikes, prompting president zalinski to repeat his call for swift international action. with zachary, she introduced a no fly zone for all russian rockets. for russian combat aviation, for the terrorists, introduce the humanitarian safety's own without rockets without balm. and while the landscape plea goes unanswered ukrainians at doing their best to flee the intense shelling. one, earlier i spoke to our correspondent nick connelly in keith about the latest developments in marble. ah, worse, increasingly desperate situation. therefore hundreds of thousands of people. this

is a big city that is now surrounded from the north, from the east, from the west, and the see the south. well, there's no you going help coming there. and there are russian forces in that see of as of so this is desperate. this was always kind of clear from your grain, would you that this would be the key city in that part of the country in the dumbass that this was a key ukrainian base, very close to those self proclaimed separatist areas and crucial for ukrainian morale that it be kept now with this is the 2nd attempt to try an organized circle . shantarian corridor get people out while the shelling stops and again list the ukrainian side says this is down to russian shelling not allowing this to happen. this is a very old fashioned conflict. this is not a 21st century warrant of the technology being used. these are shells. these are yet artery. most of it inherited from the 905060 seventy's. it's very difficult to actually on the ground tell who shot 1st. this been from all through the 8 year conflict in don bass, but it does elise from the ukrainian point of view, seem clear that it's the russians who are responsible for this. and they would say

that actually it's in russia's interest to stoke this humanitarian situation, because that will put pressure on grains directly like to present volume zalinski to make seneca new concessions. the russians they say, have already factored in this reputational damage to them. this damage to civilian populations. these am difficulties in these sufferings they're going through. so that is, that is the, the there can interpretation here. just as i'm here give i can just hear a bang in the distance of we've been hearing those all day. those seem to be anti aircraft systems are basically catching and destroying incoming rockets. so this is situation that is very, very tense. wherever you are in the country, right, let's pick up on that hill set. so it seems that ukraine still has some air defense capabilities. you're back in cave, in the western part of the country. what are things like where you are kia, has yet to see the kind of destruction that hockey of the 2nd big city that is close. the russian border has where you've had lots and lots of residential

buildings destroyed. am extraordinary damage to the city center and to government buildings there. and almost near blockade. there are still some roots into hot give here in case it's more about tension, about anticipation of what's coming next. we've seen plenty of russian secret agents. so i will do, you can say, are that we're ready in place in advance of this conflict, to then emerge on the streets with weapons and tried to attack police and other forces. we have seen reports of attempts to take presents. lensky life several. and now there is fighting about 25 kilometers away from where i am now in the western suburbs of cave, where you see people left also without power, without water trying desperately get away. and convoys of sooty is trying to get out being shot at so this is a conflict that is very close. that is basically on the streets k of now keep a capital of country that has been at war since 2014. but this is really the 1st time that conflict is now palpable. here in the center of ukraine's capital. and as russia continues to saul and ukraine,

the united states is indicating it's looking for ways for poland to supply fighter jets to ukraine. us secretary of state, anthy blake, and said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish it. stock of russian made jets, if worse, are decides to send them to ukraine. pilots in the ukranian air force are already trained to fly. those russian aircraft get more in this development from journalists. yon polka. he's in warsaw. yon. thanks for joining us. what is weighing on the polish government in making this decision? what it looks like on one hand, the polar side really would like to send it and we have indicators that it was kind of promised on certain level as since the ukrainians know how to use these mic 29 and air airplanes. but at least i think thinking twice the polar side realised that sending fighter jets is a different story than just sending equipment military equipment on the ground and

place it somewhere on the boring somebody else is picking it up. if you send jets, then you have to start from a polish airport and you have to go into the war zone. and just days ago, there was also correcting ukrainian claims and statements that they would not only receive these jets, but also be allowed to operate 8 from polish airports. this was hastily and clearly and denied as being fake news. right, is there a risk then that this could be seen by putin as nato getting itself involved in the war and trigger an escalation? yeah, i think so bold has been urging more help at all the time, also more or less. so lisa military equipment, but they seem to look very closely where's the red line to get too much in wolf into the war and days ago already polish president, angie duda said that sending jeff would mean it back direct interference kind of entry into the war. at the beginning of the war between a natural member and russia. and he emphasized that poland and now too,

is not party in this conflict, at least in the military sense. so that's one side of poland, involvement in this conflict. the other is refugees. can you tell us more about poland, current assistance to those coming over it's border he, i would say there was a complete turnaround from polish, a position to the bill, arrest crisis we've seen last year, which is actually a little bit continuing here with migrants being sent back at the time now, this was not so much a difference and to the extent of people's willingness to have. we've seen this on the bill or us side as well and adapt it. now the whole country has turned and the borders are widely open right now. also for people of different color and origin will also sometimes here occur on the ukrainian polish border. so what we see is that poland is receiving more people in a few days than germany over the whole period during the 2015 crisis.

and as far as i can see, they are not asking for help. and foreign minister ro, recently was asked whether they would ask for relocation or other assistance from other european countries. but he just did not answer to that. and i can, i cannot hear anything like this. all right, correspondent, yon poor cut. thank you very much for that. did i? nation says more than one in a half 1000000 people have fled. ukraine. described the exodus as the quote fastest growing refugee crisis in europe since world war 2. the largest number of ukrainian refugees has crossed into poland. many found support and shelter in the city of krakow city, a set of facilities to provide child care and other help to get people on their feet. and d, w max and her spoke to a few of those new arrivals. christina lives all animals, but her action favorite or the 4 year old slid,

the war and ukraine with her mother. sophia, their journey ended here and the poles city of crocker. i had to leave because it was dangerous for my child until the war. i was very heavy there we haven't. i had a lot of plans there. i like to do our knee and i like come rack is like a like a tourist not like a refugee. so christina spends her days here at the doctor, henry jordan, you center that has a special program for the new arrivals. you korean kids are looked after, they are served meals, and most of the kids can be cute with other people help us a lot and they support the us and they are ready to help us to give a lotto for things for gospel free. but i feel myself better when i know that i am

independent person. the attack on neighboring ukraine has brought upon a strong wave of solidarity with people all over poland, pitching and, and trying to help the just like here and cracow. the city of cracow always had ukrainian influence prior to the war, more than 100000 people of crating descent lived here. and despite more and more people coming and no real long term planning and sight people here tell me they are committed to stand by their side. like those working at the you center director barth warming code. so rick wants to help children forget about the war. kids movies in ukrainian irish start got need some of you with the school with a few days ago. they were it's school or in kindergarten with us on that. now they're in a completely different country, surrounded by people who speak a different language than them give similar to what they found, a place where they can meet other children and also watch a movie in their native tongue. but what this comes them down,

it makes them happier, thought mission up of acme, but you up to museum. i'm staying happy. may be easier for the kid. the parents, however, will have to start thinking about the future soon. be it housing jobs for where their kids go to school. i don't want a plan, but i have to because i have my child and i have to think about her as well. i plan only for one month, not more, but mostly the situations. like many other ukrainian refugees, though, sophia petrov took hopes that the war will and soon that she and her daughter might be able to return to a free country. did you correspond, tess about her is close to the polish ukrainian border. and this is how she described the situation there. i'm actually right at the refugee center, just a few kilometers off the border and behind me you can see they are refugees being howard by volunteers. and there are

a lot of volunteers here. they have come from everywhere, a busy bow, a lot of polish people here, but also from france, from germany, re spoken to people the way from canada, from india. and they come here and lend a hand so that people can get food, can get water. a warm blanket if they need it. so really on a physical level, everything is being done for them. but what people really need at the moment is some time to rest some time to process what they've seen. and i mean, they have seen horrible things. this war is really going on now it's raging and people come here with terrible experiences. and luckily at this refugee center, they can find a bit of rest. they have been bad that have been put up for them. we spoke to one woman, she came all the way from kia through live and now she's here been traveling for 3 days and she told us she had to wait at a bust up for 12 hours in the cold. so you can only imagine what these people have been through. and a reminder of our top stories, the ukrainian city of maria paul is under siege again after an agreed cease,

fire was broken, renewed russian. shelley has halted a 2nd attempt to evacuate residents to safety along a humanitarian court. watching the news light from berlin. we'll have more on this crisis at the top of the hour. and of course, you get the latest at our website, you w dot com lane, blue cross. thanks for watching with interest in the global economy. our portfolio d w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the flight for market dominance. get us to the head with d w business beyond.
