[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the w news. live from berlin. cease fire talks good underway, even as russia intensified its basalt, across the ukraine. moscow denies targeting civilians, but one city reports that russian forces have killed more than 2 and a half 1000 residence since the invasion began. also coming up the black sea port of odessa 45 its defenses, volunteer. se russian troops will faced fierce resistance if they attack. and

ukraine says 20000 foreigners have signed up to help fight the russians are corresponded, met some of the people headed there to find out why their risk their lives fighting for a foreign country. ah, i'm gabels as well come to the program. russian forces are stepping up their attacks across ukraine. the strikes are hitting military as well as civilian targets. yes, olds come as a new round of talks between ukrainian and russian negotiators have begun. key of says it wants to discuss the ceasefire and the immediate withdrawal of russian troops, ukrainian president 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 city,

limits. fire fighters 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 had so far resisted russia's advance president, bloody mere 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 emotion with that. she would, she would be representatives of our countries are holding daily talks. my a video conference room would you agree? mil to mil and our delegation has a clear task to do everything to arrange the meeting of the president's. should molly that i the meeting? i'm sure people are waiting for me. yes sir. look, obviously this is

a difficult story, a hard path, but we need this path was similar to it or cigarette on sunday, moscow brought its war nearer to the polish border and 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 flamed to live, which felt safe compared to eastern regions under russian assault. like the city of crime, 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. while the little 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 d, w. 's. no. com loses standing by in, achieve make as we saw then that report

a residential building or within the city limits of keith was hit by a russian asked strike. what more can you tell us? well, we've seen some pretty shocking images from the northern edge of kia this, about 10 kilometers as 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 of 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 cave now we saw and 1st as the war and iraq, it hitting a newly built apartment block pretty high up people sent, scrambling there. and this is now coming close to the central cave where i am now, which for now is still remarkably calm and serene, even if it is pretty empty her. but this is drawing close by the day us the news on

here is tightened, make their new talks to day between the russians, ukrainian delegation. is there any reason for ukrainians to be hopeful? i mean that they, they will need to be hopeful. they need to show that they will even set up these talks. it's about the optics so that ukraine is open to dialogue. i think no side, not the rest is all 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 of 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 in the 1st 2 days this war. but if you look at integrity, they are still demanding a hello from ukraine, will be very difficult to see a situation which volume is zalinski cranes, democratic elected president could ask his people who have a borne external 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 a very difficult negotiation, not just with russians, but also with ukraine's people. if indeed, the ukrainian govern decides to go some kind of deal with russians. now, officials and give 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 23 days away from in circle city. that hasn't happened. so falsity has held up. there are still several routes in and out. city bring in food and other supplies. but yes, that is what says he government says they are preparing for at least 2 weeks worth supplies for the estimated 2000000 people still here in the city. and obviously you care of is

a place where you cranes military is concentrated as the best anti aircraft and anti a rocket protection. just the last hour. we've heard some pretty loud bangs and written use it. those were russian missiles headed this way that were intercepted. so i think there is no sense that the ukraine gum is going to give up its capital without a fight. prisons. lensky is still here, and it obviously would be a tremendous blow to ukraine's efforts to defend it. 70, if the russians were to take hold of the capitol. well, sunday russia attacked a military target in the far west of the country in striking distance to 90 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 native 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 who 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 weapons been using so successfully against the russians in recent weeks. this is a part of this campaign by the criminal 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 see in countries who help you claim militarily, as part of this conflict to real escalation. they are a sense that russia would be willing to go after nita members, potentially, if they step on that sport ukraine. nick connelly, the innkeeper for us. thank you. nick. the black sea port city of odessa is preparing for a russian attack attack. but as, as may, as, as 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 that they say they are ready to put up

a fight. asked the w, i like summer for norman 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 dinners 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 sirens, 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. oh, boom aha! tomorrow i've been thinking the long should i leave my home, my family, my husband will wash is below 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 i was surprised mama

go at extra i wake up and my mom says for we need to take cover. i would take the cad, the phone and hide in the home, so we sit there until the alarm is over and we should jim tongue, not of all kinds of winchester warmer. many people have already left believing that it's just a question of time before moscow tries to capture odessa. or this is ties with russia stretched back many centuries, the 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 soldiers with fierce resistance. we visited a school that is now a volunteer center. natalia is in charge here. her message to the russian troops is simple. robin american, we don't want to be liberated, we are living wonderful lives. we don't need to be liberated, they should not make up any myths about that or believe them and use them as

a pretext to violate or a peaceful life. natalia says, or their sons wants to keep their city and they are ready to fight for it. here is a look at some of the other developments in the conflict and brief us national security advisor jake sullivan, as warned china against helping russia evade the effects of global sanctions. if you, as officials have also reported that moscow has asp aging for support, including military equipment for both russia and china, have denied these reports. as u. s. journalist has died after his car came under fire, the town of open idiot, craning ukrainian capital keith brent reno was a films mature. it was filming material for report about refugees. another journalist was also wounded in the attack. ukrainian official se russian forces fired at their vehicle as it neared. checkpoint. police across russia have

arrested more than 800 people for protesting the invasion in moscow alone, authorities say they detain 300 people for breaching public order. police also arrested dozens and st. petersburg, as well as 30 other cities. germany's chance, though all of shorts is meeting with turkish president, resume tab edwin in ankara. that's his 1st official visit as a chancellor who seeing life pictures of the welcoming ceremony arrived here. the 2 leaders were planning to discuss bilateral tires, but talks will likely be dominated by the russian invasion of ukraine. schultz visit comes less than a week after turkey hosted ukraine and russia foreign minister, the 1st high level negotiations since the crisis began. as crossover to a correspondent, julia han who is standing by in ankara following the story of for us julia relations between germany and turkey have not been easy lately. this,

this now turning into a mission to achieve peace in ukraine rather than just the average bilateral meeting me exactly 2 days talk to are expected to be dominated by the war in ukraine. although it is important to mention, this is all the shortest 1st official visit to turkey since he took office in december, he is now right now being well comes with military honors here as a presidential palace, a non crime, he will den whole talk with president ad on of course, they have a lot to talk about bilateral relations, the sensitive issue of refugees and migrant. the turkish position is hoping for clear words from mr shoals on the appalling human rights situation here in turkey. really, the focus is likely to be ukraine, germany and turkey, our nato partners. turkey is also an important player in the black sea region and has good ties with boats,

russia and ukraine. they managed to bring together both countries, bring ministers here, impact aust week. and even though the pope did not see any results that plays with well from the in european capitals and also internationally. and i think this is one of the reasons why mister schultz, the german chancellor, decided to come to turkey right now today because he think support to be talking to president of type ad on matter how difficult german turkish relations have been and still are hosting diplomacy meetings is one thing, but how much influence can the turkey as a nato member, really have on president, tutti? well, i think this is one of the major questions, right. who still doesn't have any influence on missed protein, but tucking is not in the worst position. let me put it like this. what we've seen mr. ad one is doing is he is trying to continue his political balancing act way. on

the one hand, he supports a ukraine. he has provided entree with combat drones. he has closed the book for us to foreign warships, essentially limiting the freedom of movement for the russian fleet. but on the other hand, yes, he is trying not to anger moscow too much because turkey economically, especially, depends on russian energy on agricultural input from russian tourist. so i'm like, it's other nato allies. turkey has, for example, so far kept as an space open for russian plains and it has not international sanctions against russia. we're currently seeing fix that all of the present avalon and chancellor sholtes beginning of the visit. so looking at uncle is relationship with moscow. how courageous has a turkey been criticizing the kremlin? well, there are clear limits in to,

to i'm crop is willing to say how much they are being criticized. and what they have been trying to do is being pro key while also trying not to be overtly anti moscow. the question is, how viable will this try to be in the long run. there is a growing pressure, of course, from west and present it. take me as i had and i could imagine this is one of the messages that german chancellor broke here to cry today to basically emphasize portland, it is for the nato alliance to send united and act together in the faith of russian . johan, that reporting from ankara on the german chances is it to turkey. thank you. meanwhile, 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 abroad scared of being dragged. it's world war 3, the me through clever tweeted, you crane 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 european council on foreign relations. russian forces launched a missile attack sunday on western ukrainian base. that's just 25 kilometers from poland. very close to nato territory though. how should i to respond to this? well, there was always

a risk to western supply lines. it's war war for status 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 known to russian. so basically, nature should keep calm and carry on, increase the, the support for ukraine on the 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 little 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 implement and infeasible because actually the, the time that is necessary to train ukrainian forces, we might have much more time because the russians as much slower so russia,

as it regards western arms convoys as legitimate targets, is the military cost for ne, to inevitable. well is this applies to, of course, wants to enter ukraine on this. no, i mean our stuff we, we supply is isn't a 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 expand a lot of mission. the russian tanks didn't explode by themselves and they need for the re supply. so it appears that the fear of escalation is somewhat guiding western involvement in this war. what should need to 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 key in place. it rules what you can do in such a culture. again what not. nature is not in violating any of those. and we also know what the russians are doing in other conflict can understand lee and the basically we can do the same and we can do much more from that. so the thing is, you're craner forces and launch sort of did. they don't use our territory for preparation, training or strikes, which they don't a transfer their handed over on sort of in ukraine to ukrainians and from them sort of disseminated all amongst you training on forces. and then they use that as normal rush with us, the same to proxies that fight us in other 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 of 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 that talks being held today, but not the side has so far been seen to move from that position. is russia serious about these dogs? i think for the time now that they are waiting for april 1st, which is an important day to a lot of formal conscripts leave the armed forces. and i guess they're pressured into signing contracts in order to be sent to the war in ukraine. they're regrouping your forces. they haven't given up yet. they had heavy casualties and losses. but this sort of still trying 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 the, for 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 have 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 spot. 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 is a very unpopular war in china also cares much more than russia for 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 cranes. government says some 20000 foreigners have signed up to help you craniums fight russian troops. president lensky announced the creation of an international legion for volunteers. dw correspondence spirit, a suca caught up with some of the would be fighters on their way to war. this is an actually from finland. it's not his real name. we meet him at the polish trade station commission, 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 is eager to share his knowledge with 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. you crank claims that about 20000 have already john 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 children dying on tv, and so we are doing nothing. so i have to go, do you have any experience in fighting nosy, but it's, we're no, i don't have any combat experience at all. 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 businessman is just back from spain. we took his 4 children to safety. now he is returning to his home town and is ready to fight lou the court should you could look at, i'm happy that foreigners are coming to help us fell off of a put a smile on our faces, a smelly resume and it makes us stronger in our fight against the aggressors saw to settle the part together. they are watching recent pictures from keith advancing. russian tanks being attacked by ukrainian forces. rockets, shelling,

destruction with nicholas tells us he would be stupid not to be afraid as his journey to the was on continuous 1st to leave if and then to the front lines. knowing that he might never come back. and that's it from me on the do schema feel go, we'll have a world news update for you asked to talk to the all i'm god office in berlin. i spoke with awe
