says 20000 foreign volunteers have signed up to help fight the russian military. t w. i met some of the people headed back to find out why they're risking their lives to fight for another country. ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. russian forces the stuffing up there talks across ukraine, hitting civilian and military targets. the sold comes. the latest round of talks between ukrainian or russian negotiators begins here says it once a sci fi and the immediate withdrawal of russian troops, ukrainian, president vladimir, as events, case as re, craniums, have no choice, but to keep up their resistance. despite the heavy loss of life, 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 with president bloody mer. 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, whither she would, she would be representatives of our countries are holding daily talks. my a video conference room, would you agree? no trouble on the our delegation has a clear task to do everything, to arrange the meeting of the president's. should molly, the right, the meeting? i'm sure it people are waiting for a jada would up. obviously, this is a difficult story, a hard path,

but we need this path with debra julia or cigarettes. 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 fleeing 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 price. little hood. although the narrative 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. straight to the ukrainian capital that where we joined the w correspondent, nick connelly, welcome nick. a cave saw shelling over night,

just give us an idea of conditions there. now while i'm on the northern edge of kia close to where those russian troops are close enough for russian artillery to strike the 9 story apartment block behind me, you can see some of the destruction and the chaos wrote here. i'm pretty extraordinary scenes, neighbor neighbors here, just kind of looking on in the day taking pictures kind of good. not quite able to believe that, you know, a, than that this kind of destruction has now been, meet it out on them, and they're part of the world through. so to have the media circus here. everyone trying to make sense of these pictures and send them to viewers around the world and let people just try to salvage what they can. lots of the as staircases are all destroyed. people are witching down suitcases bags from their balconies trying to get up what they can and as a clean out clean up operation happening behind me pretty exhorting, given the fact that we can still hear shelling pretty close by every couple of minutes. so there's no guarantee that, that, you know, this part of k of might not see more destruction like this to night. but people out

sweeping the streets, trying to take debris away and prepare for some kind of normal life. right. a speaking ahead of today's talks, you crated officials said they want to achieve peace, a cease fire. i'm immediate withdrawal of troops and security guarantees that all sounds like a tall or the wall missiles are still being launched quite, i think this is about the optics. no side can really afford to be seen to be closed and to reject talk so that stephanie, something was the russians seem to be going along with because they realize that this is, you know, playing very bad at these images, playing very badly for russia's emissions nationally. so they're all there, but if you look at what russia still is demanding from the ukranian side, it's basically change very little since the beginning of this war, russia is still demanding that russia give that ukraine rather gives up on its ambition to join nato. not only that, that it basically reduces its and measure capabilities very seemingly to point there would be permanently vulnerable to rush intervention. rush also wants ukraine to recognize rushes control of antics crimea, also those separatist republics in the east. basically,

what's ukraine capitulate that is still demand coming out of moscow and so far doesn't seem like the western sanctions have done enough to make russia really change its mind on that. meanwhile, keep city officials say they're preparing food supplies for the remaining 2000000 inhabitants in, in case of a siege. and what are you seeing there? for now, there's 2 main routes in and out of the city still open in southwest in the south. so the city has not been circled, has not been fully closed off the outside world yet, so they're still supplies coming in. but the definitely is a worry that that's the kind of pictures we seen out of marable city that's been living under siege nowadays. could be repeated here on a much greater scale with men's people still left in care of. so that city government is top biling food for now you can still get most supplies and supermarkets, they are open, even. you can order things from online and get them delivered food, food, loss of medicines and other supplies, my thoughts, the country. but the definitely is worried that this war is now going to be carried

out on the streets of a city with means inhabitants. and this can get a lawyer before it's over. right. and a quick word about sunday's attack, which saw a russia attack, a military target, which is about 15 kilometers in the polish border as bringing right to nato's doorstep. what, what is the likely nato response? if this act, if that were such a missile to actually land on polish territory wolves, that could be the scenario that all the natalie should have been trying so hard to avoid. a direct confrontation between nato and western countries and rushes military. i think for now there's big hope in brussel, there's not going to get that far, that russia is able to direct these strikes at so precisely as to avoid that can direct confrontation. but this was also a very strong message from russia. this was about warning, the west against applying more weapons to ukraine locked weapons coming in. but ukraine wanting more and more high tech weapons systems, anti aircraft systems, prevent those russian air attacks on ukraine. and we've heard in recent days,

but i didn't put in pretty start warnings. they're saying that if the west basically gets more involved on ukraine side than he's gonna count those western countries as being participants in this war competence with all the consequences that entail. so basically russia trying to browbeat the westerns diving down the sport for ukraine and also making these very scary for hundreds, thousands ukraine is trying to escape west who for now for up till yesterday. basically thought that western region was the kind of safe haven where they would be away from the worst fighting in their country. but it seems now there is no way in ukraine that is not vulnerable to those ukraine to those russian attacks in those russian cells. and a quick word about of some of those places in the south that are now under russian control. places like ok, sorry. what are you hearing from there or seems pretty extraordinary images and social media of protest going on in spite of that russian military occupation going on there. people coming out unarmed, with flags getting up on tanks, demanding the return of their elected officials. in some places,

merely topple or the russians seemingly have kidnapped the local, directly elected mayor, and put their person in his place in half. so they seemingly, we're trying to come up with some kind of a repetition of what they did in gwinnett, glancing 2014, proclaiming people's republics that didn't work out because the local ukraine officials refused to go along with it. and so for now, people seemingly willing to take quite big risk to show their disapproval what's going on. and the russian military authorities now increasingly having to use violence and more direct intimidation to and those purchase. all right, thank you for that. next they w correspondent, and nick conway and cave. well, german chancellor, olaf shoulds says a meeting with turkish president reggie tire bird one in ankara. his 1st official visit as chancellor. the 2 men had been planning to disgust bilateral ties, but talks are likely to be dominated by russia's invasion of you crate. that the visit comes last the week after turkey host of the foreign ministers of ukraine and

russia. the 1st high level negotiations since this crisis began on deed of his chief political edison. hannah curfew joined us from the turkish capital welcom mikaela. so this is chancellor. i shots, his 1st official visit to the country. what's on his agenda? well it and it wasn't for russia and ukraine, there would be a whole list of thorny issues. both would probably be talking around and about. but the overarching issue, of course is and ukraine. it is ross's war there and it is how to get one common aim, actually it to happen, which is to get vladimir putin towards something like sci fi, because that is the one thing of both leaders and definitely agree on. and turkey, along with israel, is one of the countries with pretty good relations, both with russian and crania inside. and germany has

a lot of european clout. so between the 2 of them, they bring a lot to the table. but like other world leaders and who are in touch with vladimir putin and present ad one of turkey just spoke to him a couple of days ago. and so did it french to present a man in my car and dummies. chance that we'll have saw it together recently. well, they will be certainly comparing notes and talking about at what would need to happen, how they could potentially even the way for something like potential direct talks between the 2 sides. just leaving aside for a minute. at the role that turkey has as a nato ally, and in many of those rocks in the past, a were germany actually left a base. it moved to jordan because russia it, because turkey, it wasn't really proving to be the kind of reliable partner that germany wanted it to be. well, that will be talk about that also about human rights. we hear. but the overarching

issue is how to stop war in europe. right. so roger hinting very relations between the 2 countries of germany and i took the haven't always been easy. are they likely to see i to why on this war they do because they do the share, the common aim, but both are also highly dependent on russia and both in common ways when it comes to energy supplies, but also in very different ways. because turkey needs mazda for some sort of a stability in syria, and both sides need to be able to talk to each other. so of present add one whilst he wants to ensure that there is some kind of path towards more stability in europe, which he also highly depends on economically and here. currently, the currency of receipt was in free fall present at one more and more pushing through his own policy, not letting the free markets really rule and is under pressure to re,

to deliver to his people and to demonstrate leadership. now this is a chance of course, a, but the big question for all i've saw it is which line and present ad one will take there. whether that will be align closer to europe, meaning leaning towards sharing in those sanctions, or whether he probably even prepares him, prefers him to remain something like neutral at a few said least have the potential is something, if not a mediator, bradley is the facilitator for something like potential piece talks in the future, after all, we saw the foreign ministers of ukraine and russia meteor with very little to no results. but still this is where talks could take place if they were to take place in the near future. right. and you and you throw into an already complicated mix, that book before the turkey is a member of nato, an organization which of the russian president of cited whose expansion the russian

president was cited as one of his reasons for, for launching of his war. it's a tricky part for him, for o, tuan, to tread. oh, how much influence do you think he can actually have in this it's simply difficult to tell because when no longer is talking about and how much influence a country has it is, how much personal influence these leaders, particular ad one could potentially have on the russian president and everybody is at pains to look into what's happening in his head a but clearly present ad one and really cause a lot of turmoil within nato by buying defense systems from russia, basically because he also knew he wouldn't get any anything similar from his nato ally the united states. so yes, it is a very complex and complex to political issue. and in the past, i would say it was a point in case for in how much disarray nato as

a defense organization was. having said that, if anything, this crisis has not heads together. and the big question, the elephant in room really is where turkey would come down to if it had to decide between nato and russia, everybody's hoping it doesn't come to that. but for this very moment, at this stage where we are trying to head towards something like diplomatic talks, again, it gives him some credibility with the russians that other countries clearly don't have. and as a big hope here, that that will count for something in talks with vladimir putin and that it could pave the way to face to face talks eventually, potentially, between ukraine's present zalinski and paddington himself. that's very clear. thank you for that. mikaela cooper and we'll take a look at some more developments in this conflict. a u. s. national security advisor j sullivan has worn china against helping russia evade the effects of

a global sanctions. officials have also reported that moscow has asked beijing for support, including military equipment. russia and china are denying those reports. please across russia, arrested more than 800 people for protesting this war. authorities in moscow safety tank $300.00 for breaching public order. police in st. petersburg and 30 other countries have also made dozens of arrests. internet traffic monitors say the instagram social media platform has been restricted across russia. state regulators block the site after its own. it matters that it would allow users in ukraine to call for violence against russian soldiers. moscow had already blocked facebook, which is also owned by matter. now, the black sea port of odessa is preparing for russian attack. the cities mer says that russia troops could soon surround the city on 3 sides,

effectively cutting it off from the rest of ukraine. locals volunteering to defend their homeland and to hometown and say they are ready to fight. as d, w is alexandra phenomena report. 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 of sand bags have been erected throughout the city. makoto, ruger, polkas, the gin roof. we are ready every day. we go to sleep, fully dressed, to be ready to seek sheltering anticipation of a missile strike mortal. but it is for cuba, shoveling sand into sand bags on odessa speech to strengthen the cities defenses. volunteers such as alexander an engineer, say they want to make themselves useful, but we are trying to support each other. we are trying to organize ourself. and oh, 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 or death ports. russia would be able to cut off ukraine from the black sea and from all supplies coming in by ship. ah, time and again, air raid sirens, go off and t 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. this issue? oh, no more hot and normal. i've been thinking the long should i leave my home, my family, my husband was 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 putting them up. so i was surprised. mama go at it strong, 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 should jim tongue, lot of companies 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 has 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. 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 wonderfully. 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 desson wants to keep their city, and they are ready to fight for it. ukulele government says some 20000 foreigners have signed up to help fight russian troops. that's after presidents valencia announced the creation of what he called an international legion for volunteers from overseas. some countries hovered their nationals not to join the conflict, threatening them with legal action. the w's burg you to should get caught up with some of the would be fighters on their way to the combat. so this is anatoly from finland. it's not his real name. we meet him at the polish trade station, kemesha 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. with 5 years experience as an instructor in the finished defense force, he's 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 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 children dying cv, and the sale we are doing nothing. so i have to go, do you have any experience in fighting, knowledgeable as well? 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 way took his 4 children to safety. now he is returning to his home town and is ready to fight lou the coach if you could look more at, i'm happy that foreigners are coming to help us. some of the it puts a smile on our faces. i really wish him is from and it makes us stronger in our

fight against the aggressors sasan fight. together they are watching recent pictures from keith advancing. russian tanks being attacked by ukrainian forces. rockets, shelling destruction sir nicholas tells us, he would be stupid, not to be afraid as his journey to the was on continuous 1st to leave it. and then to the front lines. knowing that he might never come back. let's talk about ukraine's international legion them with john spencer, who's chair of urban warfare studies with the madison policy forum. he joins us from colorado, springs in the you are so welcome to the w. how comedy is it for foreign fighters to join a war in another country? i mean, i think we've seen that over the last 1020 years. that's pretty common, whether it was in the middle east, syria, many other places. i think it's normal,

but i think this is little different because of ukrainians. what they've shown the world, their ability to fight. i think that called arms is really impacting people around the world. and, and how does this work and in practice, when you've got a lot of volunteers, to a businessman over a financial consultants, townhomes i, yes, i want to fight for you of course, how they organize it by language, by country to better, just give him a gun and say that way, ah, so each, each situation is different. you can imagine the most ideal situation is you'd partner, you'd understand that person's experience itself, and then partner them with either a situation which their skills will work or with a military or like in this case that territory defense. somebody with a little more experience and in form small groups combat isn't about just giving somebody a gun as i go for a combat as a group experience, actually i'm what happens when they get killed. you have this, this,

this person who turns up from, from a foreign country, picks up a gun, and, you know, the worst happens there who takes responsibility for that. it doesn't get repatriated . does he not? what, what happens? yeah, that's a, that's a tough question that i actually, that's not my expertise in. and it's very contextual whether you're, when they are included into a, you know, a fighting force and the, what are the protocols for that? you mean ukraine's got a lot of issues right. now, so i don't think they've thought through as in their government, a military revolve sheer force. what that looks like. it's a great question. i'm in some you've seen in some places like miracle that don't even have time to bury the dead because of that. how bad the fighting is, god is someone who's decided to give it a go to be relied on to fight with the same commitment and awards. people who are defending their homeland data. that's not mad as a good question,

i think so. right. so people fight for a cause and clearly like the guess you just had on felt something in himself to fight. now you had to help people like that, or even people within ukraine know what they're doing right, to fight and not just died. they had to get a little bit of sense of how to stay safe and still fight. but people fight for a cause within themselves that even the most trained soldiers, my soldiers is you have to help them ensure they had that cause that's what's going to help when the heat of battle happened. all right, thank you so much for joining us, john spencer, from the madison policy form. thank you. this is d w sly from bell in his recap of the main developments and the war and ukraine. russian forces increasing that bombardment of towns and cities across the country, even as total between the 2 sides stop. at least one person has been killed in
