a suburban area here that's about the key. what's that go to the with russia stepping of its bombardment of ukrainian cities, including the capitol. it's feared more and more civilians will be caught in the crossfire satellite images show. russian forces just 25 kilometers from central cave. president volota mir zalinski has promised ukrainians will put up a stiff fight in what he's calling a war for the country's independence. emily named my m will pro we have no right to lead up in the intensity of our defense yet linens no matter how difficult it is, we have no right to let up in the force of our resistance. the enemy is bringing more columns into ukrainian territory vehicle only the besieged port city of mar, you pull, continues to bear the full brunt of rushes bombardment. the humanitarian situation is worsening by the hour for hundreds of thousands trapped without power running water or fresh food. in the nearby southern city of

melita pool, which has already been taken by russian forces, residents turned out to protest against the alleged kidnapping of their mayor and to demand his release, escalating rages people in and around. keith will be hoping and praying that last minute diplomacy could still spare them the worst of what has happened to other ukrainian cities. and as he just heard, maria pull has endured some of the worst suffering in this war in ukraine. constance shelley has foiled attempts to bring supplies and get civilians out. ukrainian officials, a russian forces have captured the cities eastern outskirts, new satellite images from max. our technology show the extent of the damage to maria pole. they reveal artillery craters and fields and fires burning in an industrial area a series of before and after images hints at the extent of the damage,

especially to residential buildings. another pair of images show a huge crater or a football field used to be earlier we spoke to maria shank. oh, who is from maria pole? she is now in the western ukrainian city of the viv on able to go home due to the russian siege. she told us what she's hearing from family. back in maria, will i be the madge to reach any of my close people. however, my friends parents called sure yesterday they managed to find some pole in the center of the city where there was some weak bio network and they shared that to the city is being shout every hour, every minutes. and i heard from telegram channel, you know, they're awesome groups. so when people communicate and exchange,

some information between them. so i heard that my neighborhood where my parents leave, it was really damaged to yesterday and day. and the bomb have my house, where my parents have an apartment, and i have no idea why them. my apartment is still vale, or it's completely destroyed. so this is terrifying. french president emanuel micron says his counterpart vladimir potent shows no willingness to end. the war in ukraine crone and german chancellor love shows how joint talk telephone talks with bruton saturday afternoon during the 90 minute call. the 2 western leaders urge potent to agree to an immediate cease fire in ukraine shelters office said they press poot and to find a diplomatic solution. hoot and also updated micro shelves on recent talks between russian and ukrainian negotiating teams. and let's get the latest on those

diplomatic efforts with dw reporter jo delroy. joel, did this call accomplish anything? we can tell you what the french president's office said about them. he call them very frank and difficult. now the talks were private. we didn't see a transcript, the german channels office put out a statement saying that they had urged, put in to find an immediate cease fire. and to come up with a diplomatic solution and that no further content was going to be released. but some more details did emerge in the french press. they apparently talked extensively about the attacks on the city of mario pole and the urge putin to lift the siege that is happening there. and they told, put in that the russian army had to stop committing abuses that could qualify as war crime. so it seems i had quite strong words for the russian president. and did the kremlin, see things the same way. it seemed i saw things very differently. according to the kremlin statement, putin told the german and french leaders about the court real situation on the

ground. he went on dead to allege the violations of humanitarian law by the ukrainian security forces, including the use of civilians as human shields, preventing civilians from fleeing the fighting and the alleged execution of ukrainian soldiers for dissenting. now, none of these have been observed by any kind of independent bodies, and in fact, the french president that accused question of lying about them and a french official ended by saying they did not detect the willingness on prudence pot to end the war. and it's really hard not to share that assessment because with so many of these cold before the invasion and since and still the suffering on the ground continues. so despite this seeming lack of progress, ukrainians are still pushing for diplomacy. wealth are they trying? so on saturday, we also so recall between ukrainian president voted me as a lensky and the israeli prime minister, enough tale bennett. now israel and russia have quite good relations. and so lensky proposed that he could meet with putin directly in person in jerusalem. but he

condition that on there being a cease fire is not the 1st time zalinski has offered to meet directly with put in so far that has been ignored. also on saturday, ukrainian officials said that they were still open to negotiations, but they will not surrender to end this war. and that they would not accept any russian ultimatums. so far, russia has only had ultimatums for ukraine. so if your crane is unwilling to surrender, and if, according to the coal, putin is unwilling to end the war, it seems the fighting can only continue. it's difficult to see how there's going to be a diplomatic solution right now. ga dot roy, thanks very much for that. latest it, as a nation says over 2 and a half 1000000 people have now fled ukraine. more than half of that have crossed into neighboring poland authorities and several cities say they're running out of space at the border shelters. have sprung up to accommodate people arriving exhausted. after days on the road. they're mostly staffed by volunteers,
