line and ukraine's cultural heritage under threat museums and galleries scramble to protect their collections. the russian attack has already caused significant damage . ah, i've been fooling welcome. russia says it's opened humanitarian car doors to lead people escape 5 ukrainian cities. that's according to rushes into facts news agency quoting the defense ministry, ukraine's deputy prime minister says the 1st convoy is said to leave the besieged eastern city of sumi, but skepticism remains after the russian military kept attacking during previous agreements. overnight russian air strikes it, 2 oil depots in the northwest, and the humanitarian crisis is growing as russian forces range shelves and rockets on cities in eastern and central ukraine. authority say at least 13 people were

killed by selling on a bakery west of the capital. give and in summary, as supplies of food, water, heat, and medicine are running out. rushes forces of also stamped up shelling of the suburbs of give that ukrainian army chiefs as russian troops are preparing to store the capital. a warning this report contains images some view as may find distressing. the people of european just outside give our leaving their city has become the latest front line. hold on us. there's a huge column right now, around $200.00 men, up to 50 light armored vehicles. several tanks, literally 2 kilometers from here on the main street of your pain. after negotiations for a safe evacuation route out of european failed, many of the cities inhabitants decided to flee to the capitol. europeans, mayor,

said 8 civilians were killed on sunday alone. many are angry at the west for not stepping in until the whole world that they should help. why aren't they helping the americans and the british, or the plains shout to the world, get every one to help. france germany, britain should help you. with guy, far to the east of key is in ukraine's 2nd largest city hockey eve. the emergency hospital is full of wounded civilians. most of us is on the 25th. we were shelled my brother and i came to give blood and were shelled. the blood transfusion center was shelled. we had just left the center and we were shell by rushing occupiers. a bond this more brought, my mother died the next day, and i remained at a hospital as shrapnel wounds in my legs. i was so really caught in. patience can

hear the bombs outside as russian artillery and airstrikes reign deadly munitions on her keith. here to another appeal to the rest of the world to intervene. if the phone was backing the whole of society, say, please get together and help to close the skies over ukraine, but help our military save our civilians doing good and i must have it. but at the moment, nato has decided not to close the air space, citing the risk of starting a much larger war with russia. people here holding on, but it is unclear what will remain of their city if russian bombardment continues at this rate. jo now by our correspond, but he has bowinger in the ukrainian capital. he is russian army chief say that sir . russian troops are preparing to storm the capital. what preparations a you seeing a getting under way, mathias thing. the capital, of course, are the people who have known that there have been

a prime target from the day from day one. and that russians would eventually try to storm the capital or to close the ring around the capital. so the ukranian military seems to have put in quite a lot of forces to defend the capital. we haven't seen the russian lines advancing in days or the sites of fighting with just saw your pin are in this report. the sights of fighting are still the same and her we are seeing any significant advances. of course, there is always the fear that russia might regroup and try to storm the capital people here in the capitol. i have prepared the, there's a lot of military industries, road blocks, et cetera. but also many people of course, have fled the capital it, as you can see behind me, there are very few people on the streets right now. those whom you see, they try to, to do not to stay out too long. if you, the most people that you see the either walking a dog or they are carrying groceries or something. so people go out on the street

for their, for their needs, but her people don't stay long time on the streets. of course, the situation has been at is tense. here at martinez. what about the dangers of fleeing other? is there any progress on these humanitarian corridors? well, the most sir, the worst place in ukraine probably now is maria paul. although there are other places where the situation is also very bad. we've just so you seen 2 of them in the report. hark if and the suburbs of key if i'm there, but to marie opa has been shut off for days now for for more than a for more than a week. so no supplies entering the city infrastructure damage, no water, no electricity. we also have a few messages out of the city due to that lack of electricity. people cannot charge their phones and call their relatives. for example, am and humanitarian corridors. be it that people get out of the city or to bring

goods and, and relief a gets into the city. a have failed so far. so this is definitely one of the places where a help is bitterly needed. harkins is another one. as we have seen, i think her better to my latest information trains have still been able to leave the city so so so, so people have left, hark if, but it is very difficult to get out of there under constant shelling and the competitive capacities are very limited of the strains and so there are quite a few places now where suffering is really, really big. now, just how easy or difficult is it to get out of the capital where you are. we've seen some heartbreaking scenes and he has main station. yes, people are trying to leave a still trying to leave the capital. there are trains running we. the station is crowded. it's a lot of people. those who have been able to evacuate from these suburbs where the fighting is going on. they have arrived yesterday at the train station and tried to

lead further, but also other people from other suburbs where the russian advance might, might arrive in the, in the, in the next few days or so. it's the, the suburban train's carrying people to the main station and then from there they're trying to get on any train that goes west to lead leave at the polish border was corridor to slovakia, border or somewhere there. of course are people here are, are prepared or are fearing that things might get much worse is still in the next few days. and what about food and medicine, things like that. getting through to the city, the city is under siege. while that's the problem, the city is under siege like mar, you pull, which is completely under seizure. those who are a bit hard to reach because of fighting. they are lacking medical supplies, they are lacking a lot of basic supplies. and of course,

the situation is very bad also for those who have chronical diseases. for example, it's a, it's a big humanitarian disaster. burger. thank you very much for your reporting from here in u. k. and from keith i'm joined are by in his office and a member of their ukrainian parliament. welcome to dw, in a week last spoke to you a week ago. how has your personal situation changed? while i was saying the last i was spoke there, i think that i was staying with some friends in the city of give but i, they decided to leave the city. so actually i have had to move to some other friends who i live in, nodded the state of a close to the city and gave region. because like many other people, my friends decided to leave because it is not safe to say in the city. because everyone have seen what russians are doing in a neighbor into a cd or peter ping, that is just a genocide. them shooting at people with the children who are trying to be

evacuated is just and thinkable. so i think now many civilians in key if we're not directly engaged in and into any activities of one of the infrastructure or directly involved in the defense of the city. i trying to escape so that not to be held hostages in the city as, as people in it have been. are right now. so my breast, i situation has changed a bit because i still can't leave. it can stay in my own place. it's too too many floors up, so i just can't. so i was, i had to look for another place to, to stay in that. so my friends are now are the friends living close to give but not play in the city itself. and, and so many people have to move so many people can be living in their houses. are so many people are trying to escape the city right now, just because we are seeing that the russians, i doing everything possible to get into the city. we really appreciate and we pray for food for the health and well being of the ukrainian army who are doing

unthinkable in terms of preventing them from entering the city. but what they're doing right now with the russians doing is just it's, it's an comprehensible we know now that they were given direct order to open fire on surveillance. apparently they're doing that because they can't proceed militarily. they can't really defeat ukrainian army. ukrainian army is actually pushing them back from the position that the 1st hold. make it around the city of how to give it rain. and i'm it did push them further from the city of how to give in mc alive. they're trying to get into the city of mccullough, but the city is fighting back. so harsh and actually is bush and russians further. so it ukrainian armies doing unbelievably well in those terms. and because of that, they decide they will target the city lance. so now many civilians in the city i trying to escape so that not to create additional burden for the ukrainian army. so did the ukrainian army comes on concentrate on the main job which is killing

russians and fighting them and not being distracted by predict and civilians, to an extent to which it is possible over all it could you tell me about the russians announcement of these humanitarian corridors sort of thing. how, how, how credible, are they in how safe are they for people to use? it's a, well, the world needs to accept that every time russians are opening up their mouth, they about to tell a lie. they had been lying about those humanitarian corridors in multiple they did promise humanitarian corridors, and then they did that then the most cruel thing imaginable. they sat tap landmines in the place where people were supposed to gather to leave. and those were mainly women with small children. it's actually a great lag that they crane an army learned about that of literally men as before, they were about to blow up those land mines and managed to move the people away from, from that spot. and in it being 2 days ago, they did promise

a humanitarian court of people who said in shelters in basements for full week, and that he had promised that. and then they opened fire on those people. and i was reading a post on facebook by a man who was saying that and, and, and i'm quoting and then or so, boom, flowing into our direction. and then i saw to my kids up in the air, very high so high that it till they were higher than that. this did this church nearby and now they're both dead. and his wife was wounded and she was taken to the hospital and she died several hours after that. this is what they're doing. they concept proceed militarily the come to the fight in ukraine, an army just because it is so strong, so well motivated. and so professional, so their target in the city lance. so no, we can trust anything. they're saying right now, even open humanitarian corridors we except as a norm that they will try to open fire on people in that corridor. that is what they have been doing. so far, so we just kind of trust them and not, no, no one should be trust in them. now. you know, on this

a international women's stay what, what's your message to the women of you crated during this war? have one and only the message is to stay strong and to continue doing what they're doing. because with all the efforts, the joint efforts of the hall of the cranium society, we did manage to stand up to put in as much as we did before. and i know women arch was indifferent, but many women taken care of the case and just to create them to other countries. i've been talking to some of those women and they do feel the guilt that they left the country. no one should be, feel the guilt except for, for russians. right now. oh though i am not a thing. i don't think that they are capable of that feeling. i'm extremely proud of the pain in women, and i know that the only thing that your brain and women want right now is to be able to get back home to go back to their lives and to continue to live in their lives as it was 2 weeks ago, but in order for that to happen,

we do it's of wood from the west. we do need support so badly because we wouldn't be able to, to go back to our lives, to rebuild in our country. if the west will continue to trade with russia, i'm, i'm talking to you now and i'm asking everyone who's listening to this. please, please, please stop any trade with russia right now. any worth of phasing out her slow phasing out of rush and gas and oil. i'm comprehensible to me and thinkable and they, i betrayal of everything. the west stands for any euro that goes to russia right now is being used to buy weapons with which they will be killing ukrainian, children and women. so we ask and for a full embark on behalf of all the women who korean of all people here in ukraine on behalf of our children. and then of course we ask for support from here because as bombarding oh cities, they're killing our civilians. in great numbers, i just took pictures from summer to day. there are several casualties among children. again,

because of the of ation hit do they set up the warm from air and we can't really defend ourselves against that. so we ask for support from a because otherwise, no matter how brave ukrainian men and women are, no matter to what extent they go to, to protect their lives. there wouldn't work because no one can be protected from bond full in and you had that goal for help going to western leaders. i hope that listing is often a member of the ukrainian parliament. thank you very much for coming on the show today. thank you all across ukraine. ordinary people have signed up to help the war effort many of fall from home after fleeing the russian invasions of cities for the west, lots of women that men leaving their loved ones behind to fight tito. he's funny for tom made a group of women in the city of geneva sea in between nights, you know, bomb shelter, they're spending their days volunteering to support soldiers on the front one doe at a time. these women here had very normal lives before the russian invasion. some of

them teachers, i t specialists, their weapons for peace. bread. yes, nice should i know what it's like to be hungry. it's very important to fit others, even those you do not know will all ukrainians see a bit of it. us housed 30. i think the breath shall feed soldiers, men and women at the front line. martha lift jenko spearheads. the team of 30 volunteers says that brett means closing us home. love something we can share with you late. the 120 people share these house already. it was built for 80 by marta and various donors 5 years ago to help survivors of domestic violence. she know, accommodates internally displaced women and children. marina just arrived, the 2 children from key after 4 days on the route. then we'll just head to law to kids for either in the basement or in a garage t as all the time. all

a countries been killed and destroyed wide, easily issued. she must eat, though she's not hungry, concerned about her sister who is stealing key. the shelter is located in chattanooga, c, in west, in ukraine, still relatively safe, but fearing the worst preparations are in place. what used to be a gym has become a makeshift bomb shelter during the night. moments of comfort much needed for every one. in another room, volunteers suing ukrainian flax in high demand. now the patches for soldiers to stop the bleeding times of war. highlight the importance of women. marta says it sad over so much at that that might he do this because her have to dirt women do the same as man. can our women on the front line, our women fight and also die? i love women drive trucks and looked flower in them. was m a water so love rosa,

memorial leaving you. praying with her 2 children is not an option. she says she cannot leave her husband or her country behind and she will be needed here to once the war is over. domestic violence will be on the rise. she says, just like in 2014, when fighting began in easton, ukrainian up and then a little de in of chilly song. but what they learned enough people learn to kill, to be aggressive. and very often when they return home, they don't receive rehabilitation from the government now led their anger out on their wives and children. several of allison cannot imagine what will happen after this. for i am shown as more leafy stacy aly no one can, but every one hopes for peace is a look at some other developments in the war in ukraine, ukraine's president, florida. mister lensky is bound to stand his ground in here as long as necessary to win what he calls a patriotic war. he says that he will not hide and he's not afraid. so this is

pushing for a peace agreement while accusing russia, locking humanitarian cargoes, and 8 on me. she was president, has condemned the sanctions imposed on russia by countries around the world. in a statement, you gotta diaz had appeared to defend bosco's position that russia was forced to attack ukraine over a perceived security threat that he said havana will continue to plead for serious constructive and real. this solution to the conflict of 100000 refugees from ukraine have arrived in the czech republic. authorities say half of them the children. proc city hall says its reception center is full and will not be able to accept any more refugees for the next 24 hours. instead, boss is will take them for processing in other regions. since the start of rushes invasion, ukraine's museums galleries and cultural institutions have been scrambling to protect their collections. many have been taken away and shipped abroad,

but this is becoming increasingly difficult. heavy shelling has already caused considerable damage, so museum work as a staying behind to save what's left. a nation's heritage packed up in boxes. he andre shipped hitchcock national museum and leave is ukraine's largest art museum. it stores have been closed since the russian invasion began. the museum already survived world war 2, but whether it will survive this one unscathed, is unclear. it's extensive collections are being packed away into the cellar. iraq, my input of the water, he's, you know, it's so bitter for my soul. you should probably just for quality your book, sometimes tears are coming for you to reach that. i'm telling the truth. scary, because a lot of work has been put in here by our staff in my boxes. and it takes time energy. and when you do something good, you feel pleasure. liver to you today. you see empty walls, show your choice. this makes you feel better for you. the sad shay was so sad user,

so bobo took trouble, you know, we didn't believe it till the last minute that this could happen. but if they messaged many of the cities, sculptures have been carefully cloaked in foam wrap. maybe a futile attempt to protect them. but better than doing nothing at all with gold, you my progress, not a linear muscle. we are well aware that we're not able to protect them from direct impact of abundance of that from any light damage that may occur. take your cookie from shelling it unless you're shock waves, postcards and small fragments or shrapnel with we're just trying everything we can home through that was empty walls at the museum in liveth. as this new chapter of ukraine's history begins, hopefully and grief, our constant companions said, let's talk about that with our culture dest. karen homestead is here. karen,

and what we're seeing here is an attempt by booting to wipe out the ukranian identity and culture. i. it goes much, much further than a couple of paintings and sculptures and what's at stake. you the list is too long to even talk about in this interview. i've been but i can start with the fact that ukraine is home to 7 unesco world heritage sites in places like live channels, etc, which we saw earlier. and for example, right in kiev with sites like the picturesque love rock cave monastery, that's an incredible complex or the famous st. sophia cathedral, both of those sites 8 back to the 11th entries, a very rich history there. unesco is incredibly concerned of course and will be holding a special section session next week to talk about what damage is happening. there are also count was other churches. so things like a wealth of icons, liturgical artifact,

sacred texts are at stake. but also many things like frescoes and mosaic, the buildings themselves, of course, that that can't be carried away. there. museums with very impressive, modern contemporary art collections and archaeological fines, a great many which aren't only in danger of destruction and damage, but also of looting by russian troops as of many fear exactly what you're talking about. this wiping out most shocking of all perhaps was also the as you know, the missile attack on the tv tower where the bobbin yar holocaust memorial adjacent to it was also affected. 5 people killed in that attack. i mean, it really is the full spectrum of ukrainian culture and identity itself that's under threat. and there is great fear that russia will try to simply wipe it out. tell us more about why these slides works and so well the pitch asked lubricate monetary for instance, is an active monastery there, over $100.00 monks actually in residence there. but together with the st. sophia

cathedral, for instance, it's a very these are very important sides for eastern orthodox christianity, which is the predominant religion in both russia and ukraine and of course, much of eastern europe. and both of them, they date back to something called the key of an ruth's empire. which converted to christianity back in 1988, and that was literally the foundation for the modern nations of russia. bella luce and ukraine today that the arsenal litski museum in key of his home to many, many works of artists that are hugely important also for europe's shared artistic traditions. art history for just to name a couple of the artists casmer malay, which of course is very well known, but here me love alex hon. the last of these are important ukrainian figures of modernism and the evan guards, who of course, had a great influence on other european painters and traditions. what can we do? what can the otwell do to, to help in this?

yeah, we're all feeling very helpless at the moment, but officials in museum officials in ki, of and, and, and in ukraine for instance, like alicio stroke go, who's director of that me. it says get ortho. now that i just mentioned, they say that it's really essential to remind people that this war is going to have an absolutely global impact. it's going to effect everything. this is an attack on all of our democratic values, obviously as we realize. but she is urging institutions in the west to really to inform people actively about this war in their events and to share their information and, and educate as much as possible and read ukrainian literature. so thank you very much for talking on is extremely important topic to talking about. i'm not just paintings, but also the, the entire culture of these cranial end the n and a very shared history of europe. exactly. yeah, very good point. we'll talk about it. thanks ben. you're watching w news is
