ah, ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. cease fire talks get underway even as russian forces intensify. their assault across ukraine, moscow denies targeting civilians. but one city reports that the russians killed more than 2500 residents since the start of the invasion, also ukraine's president lensky is about to address you leaders ad will bring you that live as soon as it also coming up.

ah, i've got others while come to the program. russian forces are stepping up their attacks across ukraine. strikes are hitting military as well as civilian targets. the salts come as a new round of talks between ukrainian or russian negotiators begins. he says it wants to discuss the cease fire and the media withdrawal of russian troops. training president brought the vladimir zalinski says citizens have no choice but to keep up their resistance. despite the heavy loss of life. ah, a russian artillery strike on keith. the city limits firefighters rescue people from the smouldering ruins of a 9 story apartment building hit during an early morning attack. part of renewed fighting on the outskirts of the capital, which has so far resisted russia's advance president,

bloody near zalinski vowed ultimate victory as he met wounded soldiers recovering in a key military hospital on a visit to boost morale. he handed out metals in recognition of their bravery, the russian forces appear to be widening their attacks across ukraine. zalinski indicated progress could be made as bilateral talks continue the nation with the she would, she would have the representatives of our countries are holding daily talks. my a video conference room, would you agree mil to mil on the our delegation has a clear task to do everything to arrange the meeting of the president's. should molly, that right? the meeting? i'm sure it people are waiting for the yoga would up there. obviously, this is a difficult story, a hard path, but we need this path was similar to it or sit hide. on sunday, moscow brought its war nearer to the polish border. an attack on a military training ground near live in western ukraine was the closest strike. so

far to nato territory, civilians from all over ukraine had been fleeing to live, which felt safe compared to eastern regions under russian assault. like the city of crumb a tortoise, i witness video from a resident there show destruction to her apartment in a 5 story building in the aftermath of an air raid. little hood or the lena rushes defense ministry denies targeting civilians and is holding fast to its description of its war as a special military operation. it says its forces have destroyed nearly $4000.00 objects of ukraine's military infrastructure. let us cross over to the w's new comedy who's as standing by in eci of make as we saw then that report a residential building within the city limits of keith was hit by a russian asked strike. well, more can you tell us well, we've seen some pretty shocking images from the northern edge of kia the spot. 10

kilometers is the birds. a direct line from where i am at and the billing was hit about 5 in the morning were not quite sure yet. it was an air strike off. it was artillery and we have been reading reports. you can media of 2 people killed . the fir, the 3 wounded, the us fire began on the kind of ground floor moved his way up. part of the facade collapsed. this is a vote. see no novelty in k of now we saw and 1st as the war, am i rocket hitting a newly built apartment block pretty high up people sent scrambling there, and this is now coming close to the center cable. i am now, which for now is still remarkably calm and serene, even if it is pretty empty her. but this is dorian, close by the day. us. the news on here is tightened. make their new talks today between the russians ukrainian delegation. is there any reason for ukrainians to be hopeful? i mean that they, they would need to be hopeful, they need to show that they will even shut up these talks. it's about the optics so

that ukraine is open to dialogue, getting no side, not the rustle ukrainians. want to be accused of not being open to that kind of dialogue. but if you look at the russian demand, they haven't reduced a much yet. they're still basically are demanding that ukraine gives up. not only it's aspirations, join nato, but also better gives up a lot. it's military and also recognizes russian possession of annex crimea and recognizes those self proclaimed products in the east. so the rhetoric from russia might be a bit more open to discussion than it was the 1st 2 days this war. but if you look at the integrity, they are still demanding. a hello from ukraine would be very difficult to see a situation which volumes zalinski cranes, democratic, elected president, could ask his people who have a born extraordinary losses in recent days to basically give up on all those russian demands given to those demands for ukrainian air. basically, disarmament and in neutrality in return to what, why have they been fighting for these days? it's going to be very difficult at negotiation, not just with russians,

but also with ukraine's people. if indeed, the ukrainian governor decides to go some kind of deal with russians. officials and t if a say that preparing food supplies for the cities remaining 2000000 inhabitants in case of his siege. is there any indication how long keith would be able to hold out? well obviously this is the scenario that everyone here has been preparing for for weeks. every kind of couple of days you get a report that the russians are now to 3 days away from in certain city that hasn't happened so false that he has held up. there are still several routes in and out city bring in food and other supplies. but yes, that is what city government says they are preparing for at least 2 weeks worth supplies for the estimated 2000000 people still here in the city of c, u. k. of is a place where ukraine's military is concentrated as the best anti aircraft, and anti rocket protection, just lost our we've heard some pretty loud bangs and read and use that. those were russian missiles headed this way that weren't septic. so i think there is no sense that the ukraine income is going to give up. it's capital. we are fight present.

lensky is still here, and it obviously would be a tremendous blow to ukraine's efforts to defend itself. warranty. if the russians were to take hold the capitol. well, sunday russia attacked a military target in the far west of the country in striking distance, donati, natal, a territory. how significant is that? it's seen of it for a number of reasons. firstly, it is pretty close to the border with nature with put into place that has seen hundreds, thousands people fleeing the country in recent days and weeks. so even people just trying to get out to thought that they are having left kevin left heart, give cities in the center in the east of the country. they were in safety. they are now very aware that until they get out of ukraine, there is no way that is basically safe. but i think this is also a signal to nato. this was a military base where western countries carried out training for ukrainian soldiers . how to use those western since they've been using so successfully against the russians in recent weeks. this is a part of this campaign by the coming to prevent the west to discourage the west

from providing ukraine with more sophisticated weapons. we've heard from that him a push in recent days. he said that basically as soon as those weapons cross ukrainian border, they are fair game. and that to russia is increasingly seeing countries who help ukraine militarily as part of this conflict. so escalation there, a sense that russia would be willing to go after nita members, potentially, if they step up that support ukraine. nicoli, the innkeeper for us. thank you. and other than we announced earlier, your grand presidency lensky will not be addressed to your the european council. today. the black sea port city of odessa is preparing for a russian attack. this is mayor says the russian military could soon surround the city on 3 sides, effectively cutting it off from the rest of the country. locals volunteering to defend their hometown and say, they are ready to put up a fight, asked it abuse that example. phenomena reports. we are in the center of

odessa and you can see that the port city has been turned into a fortress. checkpoints, and barricades built up. sand bags have been erected throughout the city, makoto rugle, cuz the dean moves, we are ready every day we go to sleep, fully dressed, to be ready to seek shelter in anticipation of a missile strike. mortal printed for cuba, shoveling sand into sand bags on odessa speech to strengthen the city's defences. volunteers such as alexander an engineer, say they want to make themselves useful, but the we are trying to support each other. we are trying to organize ourself. i know so many people here i, i never know before, but now we are work as a team. and this is the perfect example. and this is what we should do or this is of tremendous strategic importance for the ukrainians, and that makes the city a likely russian targets and capturing odessa passports. russia would be able to

cut off ukraine from the black sea and from all supplies coming in by ship. ah, time and again, irrate servants go out and residents have to seek shelter. it's almost too much to bear. alexandra tells me. her family has lived in odessa for 4 generations, but now alexandra says it's time for her and her daughter to flee the moon bahama. i've been thinking the long should i leave my home, my family, my husband wash. who's been my? i love it. it's so hard when you take only the necessities and go, but everything it's necessary when they're, when they move. so as far as mama go at each time i wake up and my mom says for we need to take cover, i would take the cad, the phone and height of the home. so we sit there until the alarm is over and we

seemed on lot of copies of winchester warmer. many people have already left believing that it's just a question of time to, for moscow twice to capture odessa. or this is, ties with russia, stretch back many centuries to city founded by russian empress. catherine the great is still largely russian speaking. but despite the deep seated connections, the people of odessa are prepared to meet, put in full dress with fierce resistance. we visited, it's called it's now a volunteer center. one is natalia, it's in charge here. her message to the russian troops is simple. robin, i know him again. we don't want to be liberated. we are living wonderful news. we don't need to be liberated. he should not make up any myths about that or believe them and use them as a pretext to violate our peaceful life. natalia says, or desson wants to keep their city, and they are ready to fight for it. and here's

a look at some other developments in the conflict and brief r u. s. national security advisor jake sullivan has wants china against helping russia evade the effects of global sanctions. report suggests that moscow have asked of aging for support, including military equipment, with china's embassy in washington says it's unaware of that alleged request. the issues likely to feature and talks between us and chinese officials to day in rome . u. s. journalist has died after his vehicle came on to find the town of earth and near the ukrainian capital heave, rent, rent. oh, was filming material for report about refugees. another journalist was also wounded in the attack. ukrainian officials say russian forces fired at their vehicle as it neared a checkpoint. across russia, police have arrested more than 800 people for protesting the invasion in moscow alone. authorities say that he changed 300 people for breaching public order.

police also rest a dozen since in petersburg, as well as in 30 other cities be while the ukrainian government, as again urged its allies to do more, to help it resist the russian invasion. that would be the only way to prevent other countries being dragged into a wider conflict. that's what the foreign minister said to those broad scared of being dragged into world war 3 demitra labor tweeted, ukraine fights back successfully. we need you to help us fight, provide us with all necessary weapons apply more sanctions on russia and isolated, fully help ukraine force putting into failure. and you will avert a larger war. let's hear more about that from bergosa grass. lisa, former austrian defense official, an expert on russia's military at the repeal council on foreign relations. russian forces launched a missile attack sunday on a weston,

ukrainian base. that's just 25 kilometers from poland. very close to nato territory though. how should night or respond to this well i there was always a risk to western supply line. it's war war, but at this risk. but as far as i know that the supplies have been handled very flexibly and they're not bound to one the route and not bound to it installations now to russian. so basically, nature should keep calm and carry on, increase the, the support for ukraine under. so farms which is still functioning despite this. russia has weaknesses targeting, moving targets and their weaknesses, actually getting i or setting up a life cycle intelligence on nature shipments that is false enough for them to strike. so it's still possible to sort supply alms to ukraine. we should think

about what and how and what are more complex systems actually, especially for the west of ukraine, should be implemented and feasible because actually the, the time that is necessary to train ukrainian forces, we might have much more time because the russians are problems much slower, so russia says it regards western arms, convoys as legitimate targets is the military cost for ne, to inevitable. well, it, this applies to, of course, wants to enter ukraine. and this is no, i mean our stuff we, we supply is, isn't it danger of being destroyed either, of course, on the root or at the front. that's, that was, it was the case. it's all about. on the other hand, we also need to see, but the russian shortcomings in targeting them are and we can adapt to this

ukraine is because they are now basically the 3rd week into the fighting deaf expanded a lot of mission, the russian tanks didn't they explode by themselves and they need further resupply . so it appears that the fear of escalation is somewhat guiding western involvement in this war. what should nato be doing to get out of this parent escalation trap if you will? there is no escalation trapped our clear rules or they are very p implicit rules. what you can do in such a cause again what not. nature is not in violating any of those. and we also know what the russians are doing in other conflict. understand lee and the basically we can do the same and we can do much more from that. so the thing is the ukranian forces are launch are sort of, they don't use our territory for preparation, training or strikes, which they don't. all our transfer their handed over on sort of in ukraine to ukrainians and from them sort of disseminated all amongst the training on forces

. and then they use that is normal rush with us the same to proxy the fight off of the theaters of walls. we do the same to them are russia makes a lot of noise about escalation because that's the only way they can influence our public. they're most, all the arguments sympathy is not on their side. so they are basically playing with all those or 3 scenarios. however, they're enormously unlikely, and this is a show for propaganda and talking about propaganda. their talks being held today, but now the side has so far been seen to move from that position is russia serious about these dogs? i think for the time they are, they are waiting for april 1st, which is an important day to a lot of formal conscripts leave the armed forces. and i guess there pressure into signing contracts in order to be sent to the war and ukraine. they're regrouping your forces. they haven't given up yet. they had heavy casualties and losses. but

this sort of still try to reinforce that troops and prepare for a new fence if only if the, if the ukrainians are able to plant that as well. i think the russians will start to look for law firm on this will also shine a apparently has reacted and released to us suggestions that ross russia asked for military aid. if this turns out to be true, what does it say about russia's capabilities? well, we know that the russians are lacking, or sort of start to run out of certain kinds of ammunition. but the problem is, does china? half of them does china? is china actually able to provide them? does a lot of things that china, for example, drones to china produces that russia does not, but you can sort of quickly deliver a chinese drawn for the russian on forces. if the russian soldier enters the drone shelter starts the computer, which then turns out to be chinese, what should he do? how do you handle these things? and i don't think the chinese will themselves do the service for them because it's

a very unpopular war. and china also cares much more than russia voice prestige. so i'm, i'm a bit skeptical about this. let's see where it goes and what really appears on the battlefield. go so close to their former austrian defense official, an expert on russia's military. thank you very much. you're welcome. thank you. you create governments. a says some 20000 foreigners have signed up to help you crenan ukrainians. fight russian troops. that after president lensky announced the creation of what he calls an international legion for volunteers from abroad. some countries have urged their nationals not to join that conflict, threatening them with legal action if they do. others are allowing their citizens to volunteer did abuse bigger sugar caught up with some would be fighters on their way to the combat zone. this is anatoly from finland. it's not his real

name. we meet him at the polish trade station, permission packed with equipment and protective gear, and i told he is waiting to board the train to ukraine to join the fight for me was right. thing to do as a human being by part of the solid earth movement. i strongly feel that i can contribute. by going he was studying art and design when he decided to answer ukraine's call for foreign fighters was 5 years experience. as an instructor in the finished defense force, he's eager to share his knowledge was ukrainians. who like combat experience? they do have the manpower, what they need, ah, in my opinion, instructors team leaders to get people through the pipeline, the training pipeline, and especially with the western weapon systems,

how to use them effectively. over the past couple of days, we have witnessed a number of foreign fighters sporting trains for ukraine. ukraine claims that about 20000 have already joined to fight, but that number is hard to verify. those who want to get into ukraine. q here at passport control. we meet nicholas, the financial consultant from france doesn't want us to show his face. he says he couldn't stand seeing russia bombing civilians and europe's hesitant response. i saw a charter and dying on tv. and so we are doing nothing. so i have to go, do you have any experience in fighting knowledge but it's we're no, i don't have any combat experience at all. yeah, i have a pilot's license that might be helpful over here. so, but if not to do that, we will have 2 weeks of training and then we will fight alongside the ukrainian senior. his neighbor in the queue is dennis from keith. the, and this man is just back from spain way took its 4 children to safety. now he is

returning to his home town and is ready to fight lou the horse should you could look more at, i'm happy that foreigners are coming to help us fell off of it puts a smile on our faces. oh, really wish him from and it makes us stronger in our fight against the aggressors sorta sorta fight together. they are watching recent pictures from keith advancing . russian tanks being attacked by ukrainian forces. rockets, shelling destruction, nicholas tells us he would be stupid, not to be afraid as his journey to the wars on continuous 1st to live, if and then to the front lines. knowing that he might never come back. let's have a quick look at some of the other developments in the born ukraine. more than 2700000 people have now fled ukraine. that's according to the ins refugee agency. almost 2 thirds of them crossed into poland. ukraine says it has restored

a broken power line to the general build power plant, the scene of a nuclear meltdown in 1986 power had been cut to the side that is now held by russian troops. and pope frances has condemned the killing of civilians in ukraine, calling the attacks barbarian ism, he called on russia to end its invasion before you credits. it is our quote reduced to cemeteries germany. chancellor. all of shots is meeting with turkish president recipe, top arrow on in ankara. that's his 1st official visit as a chancellor to the country. the 2 leaders were planning to discuss by that will ties with talks will likely be dominated by the russian invasion of ukraine. shoals visits comes less than a week after turkey hosted ukraine and russia's foreign ministers in the 1st high level negotiation since the crisis began. us crossover tacos wanted doran jones in is doubles following this story for us. dorian, german,

turkish bilateral talks have not always been easy in the past. will there be any easier this time? while will you have to understand the relationship between germany and turkey is an extremely important relationship for both sides. and that importance is meant that despite major differences are particularly over turkeys, an appalling human rights recalled a relationship has continued and endured. and the main factors by white so important one is that turkey in germany have very close trading relations. on top of that, there are major german firms that are based in turkey. and that novel factor is that there is a very large turkish minority living in germany, which provides a very important cultural bond are between the 2 countries. and most recently, turkey is also the gate keeper for potentially millions of refugees seeking to enter europe. this a refugee deal that turkey has with europe is also very important for berlin. and that's why is expected there. when chancellor shot comes to hold talks over to one they will find or have common ground to work with. and the ukrainian conflict is

also also an important facilitator of improving ties between these 2 countries, as well as talk about this conflict. which role does turkey play in the current international crisis? and our ankara and berlin on the same page with regards to ukraine while turkey, since the onset of the rushes invasion has been trying to position itself as a mediator, if not of the seller teeter between a ukraine and russia. and these high level meetings that happened over the weekend between the ukranian and russian foreign ministers. the 1st since the russia's invasion, was seen as an important diplomatic victory for turkey. but it has to be said that nothing really came out of those talks. and in many ways, at the appearance of the russian foreign minister, so elaborate was just seen as though appearing for publicity rather with any intent to solve the conflict. and so there was a setback there, but president earth one does believe that turkey should continue to play

a role of looking for our solution. and that was a message he gave to the u. s. president joe biden over the weekend and turkey bleat. it's many ways uniquely place to solve this, given the fact that prisoner to one has very good relations with both the ukranian and the russian presidents doesn't mean that agra is avoiding conflict a with pooty and briefly yes. well, i mean took his role is quite ambiguous. over the ukranian, the conflict on the one hand, it is providing very sophisticated weapons to ukraine, including its well known drones, which have inflict a lot of damage on russia. but at the same time, turkey is opposing international sanctions and keeps his air space open to rush and plain so many we suck, he is work walking a type rope. but for europe, i think that they are happy with that role because they believe possibly down the road that one couldn't possibly help in mediating between a russia and ukraine. or correspondence. dorian jones, they're reporting from is symbol. thank you, dorian. and that's it from me and the news team,
