room report from the heart of brazil stuart's march 9th on d. w. ah ah, this is d w. news line from berlin. mario paul still under siege, despite another promise to cease fire. a 2nd attempt to evacuate civilians from the besieged city fails. after a truce is broken, officials had begun efforts to move people to safety along a humanitarian corridor. and the un says one and a half 1000000 refugees have now fled ukraine, making it europe's fastest, growing refugee crisis since the 2nd world war.

ah, i'm no longer a very well welcome to the program. it's the 11th day of russia's war on ukraine. russian troops are shelling cities across the country, including the besieged city of mario pole, where a 2nd attempt to establish a humanitarian corridor to get residence out failed. when a fresh cease, fire was broken and russian forces resumed their assault on the city. these buses ins up alicia were men for evacuated from the besieged city of marie pole. but for a 2nd day in a row, they remain empty. they were supposed to pick up civilians from a real poll half way between the 2 cities. but ukrainian officials said the con, bye was unable to leave the city due to continued. shelling moves short off children bloss global, or have children. there was an evacuation attempt yesterday,

but the fighting continued. it was lewis to vote for so there was no way to safely get people out of the city fundamentals. the music is offered also. which of you need to understand the risks the fighting poses to a humanitarian convoys. so the, the one that's a will, will convert it's a dangerous undertaking, but the driver still hope there'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 them. 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 with your friends when

it's j 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 a humanitarian safety's own without rockets without balm. and while the landscape plea goes unanswered, ukrainians are doing their best to flee the intense shelling. with let's go to our correspondent, a conley, who's in keith. nick, let's start with the situation and maria poll, where a cease fire has been broken yet again. well, it's very difficult understand when people are now basically in circled from the north, east from the west. the south will see where also russian forces. and as you mentioned

that your section, there is no end inside this. the 2nd attempt has failed to organize some kind of humanitarian called voice. this is very old fashioned. is it what was going on here? shelling using weapons from the mid 20th century. it is very difficult to reconstruct to shop 1st the rang and say that it was the russians who decided not to go along with this sci fi agreement. and it's very hard to see how they can actually work out kind of some kind of manageable deal at a time where hundreds of thousands of soldiers are dying every day on both sides without some kind of outside mediation, without the red cross to some other outside to bring these 2 parties to the table, but also to get them to stick to their commitments. i can't really see how this is going to work. the, the view here from key would be that actually russia isn't actually opposed this not working out. the good, the ukraine would say the russians want these kind of military and crisis because that'll put more pressure on ukraine. democratically elected government to make compromises because they would be more affected by public opinion by the need to

prevent human suffering. whereas as the ukrainians would see at the russians already factored in, this damage their reputation worldwide by attacking ukraine and directly the store manager and consequences of discontinued fiji marapoo wouldn't add much to that. so that, that is basically the fear here that the feet in rushes interest. and this could go on and now people have been out in medical without internet, without, without collections in some days now. and the question is, how long can they keep going before things start getting really ugly and people start losing their lives because they're able to get medical treatment there. they need all because you know, hospitals all with electricity. so every 10 situation there and one that is really being restrictions being pulled across the country, especially now people across to grant. i'm no longer able to reach there. this is america because internet has gone. so very 10 situation in mario poll. you are and keep what's the situation in the city there and the surroundings briefly, if you can where the center here has still been spared the worst kind of bombing

that we've seen altitude like it. but it was, there is fear that the russians are going to try and launch another attempt on present. let's get life. so big fear all strangers of russian sleep regions, that kind of thing. but just 25 kilometers from where i'm in, the western sky of the fighting is really going on and being killed even trying to evacuate, fighting between ukrainian or russian continuing. so this is a very feeble and really a sense that the world has been going on. you kind of 2014 has now reached the streets of capital care. thanks for putting an economy in keith. as russia continues as assault on ukraine, the united states has indicating it is looking into ways of poland to supply fight a debt to ukraine. u. s. secretary of state, anthony, blinking said, american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish it's stock of russian made jets, if also decides to send them to ukraine. pilots in the ukranian air force are

already trained to find the russian acro. let's bring in the grass, so who is senior policy fellow at the european council for relations? welcome to w as a, right? so the u. s. is saying poland could possibly supply ukraine with plains, but wouldn't russia see this as nato getting involved in the conflict? well, there's to say that there are actually implicit rules on proxy was if you sat to call it like what that will be athena, the 2nd the bliss girls are they have been off right with the soviet union and with the russian federation and supplying weapons. one side we wanted to see, winning is not a violation of poland would be a party to the rule. if the polish army are to enter your trade or if you frame in military would launch attacks from polish territory. both,

they're almost doing the supply of arms even of complicated or complex arms like fighter planes, is something that we used to do. and we will do. and also that the russian federation does to waging parties who owned the opposing side of the spectrum in other theaters before of course, they're making noise about it. of course they want to make our public feel insecure about it, but this is part of the game. so germany, for example, and others are supplying ukraine with anti craft aircraft weapons ground to as are you saying that that a will be that that is the same as supplying planes? is that the esther, if the land line the same, they roughly yes, of course, the plane is a much more complex weapon system and is much more effective weapon system than a show. the launched rocket launcher, but it's essentially the same game. remember russia mercenaries flying

makes for a libyan party in the libyan civil war? of some years ago? did we threaten russia with nuclear? oh, no. oh, it's the same logistically how ah weapons from the west being reaching fighters on the front lines in ukraine? well, some channels of communications always have been and they're not activated for that . i mean for the security no, to compromise any of those. i will refrain from making details about there have been repaired on there, have been arranged and by various means to us. if i can distinctly brought into the country, are the fastest delivery of went from poland to the, to the front in cardiff within 3 days or so. it is possible to do so. and these weapons are also reaching eastern parts of ukraine and an exposed portions of the

france, or for the time being. russia does not have the means and the knowledge to interdict them, and i hope he keeps does away. so with all you've said now, what does that mean? you are not worried that this will could spill into europe further at this stage? no. oh, there are clear cut rules as a set up and we keep them all for the time. as long as the train is standing and fighting, russia is busy fighting ukraine. if ukraine falls, if russia starts to install a puppet regime, if russia starts to ramp up the repression against the ukrainian population who does not. and probably will not accept this puppet regime that things might or get harder because as be effort put in during the coming days. and as we have actually heard booting during the past 20 years, everybody who arises up to putting into

a in territories. he thinks it are hiss attributed by him as kind of see agents or o western making. so then if you train falls, he will of course, make us responsible for whatever is going wrong now. and might use military force or military threats a to force us to. and i put this under quotation mark because it will be just another horrendous line. refrain from interfering in his domestic affairs. but as long as you train is standing, as long as there's organized resistance from an organized ukrainian state, russia is busy destroying dots, and they're not making all too much progress on that road. so these weapons deliveries, they're not only in ukrainian interest in our interest as well because we want ukraine to survive as a sovereign and defensible country. and this is basically what this war is all

about. political analyst, gustavo dressel, thank you very much for your insights. thank you very much. has a look now. as some other developments in the conflict. the united nations nuclear watchdog says it's deeply concerned that communications have been disrupted at a c ukrainian nuclear power plant. russian soldiers took the separate facility on friday after shelling it and starting a fire and have turned off is internet and telephone lines. the agency says reliable communications are critical to safety. security forces in russia have detained more than 4000 annual protesters in demonstrations across the country. that's according to an independent protest monitor. russian police want that organizers and participants of legal demonstrations could face charges. the united nation says more than 1500000 people have fled ukraine. it describes the

exit is as the fastest growing refugee crisis in europe since world war 2 more than a 1000000 people have crossed into poland alone. a small arrival hub has formed here in front of the former shopping center in the polish town of sham marshall. these volunteers are welcoming ukrainian refugees with warm drinks, food, water, and an array of donations. many of the ukrainians arriving here are traumatized. having witnessed the war 1st hand, oh la la la has villi, they bombed our house. we and we were practically left homeless. now live so leah hollis further we came here to get help for my you. my husband stayed in ukraine to fight frost. so graham, you said i thought i came here with my daughter to keep ourselves safe. i'm with go to go with, but he actually later we will return having the wine all lost or brutal to them. we

inside the shopping center, people can rest walmart and decide what they want to do next. some have relatives in poland and other countries bordering ukraine. free buses wait outside to take them to various destinations across europe. that many wants to stay close spine. they live in fear for those who have been left behind and ukraine and her wool, we'll soon be over. can fail in mad. i'm so sad. i need my family. my father and my dad. are they still in ukraine? yes. my grand migrant baron. my mom. my sister's
