with ah i feel gail, welcome to the program. hundreds of people have escaped the besieged city of mary paul in southern ukraine. the city has completely got been completely cut off for days. ukrainian authorities say residents were able to flee the city along an escape route and a convoy of about $160.00 vehicles heading towards the area under ukrainian control . under the thousands of people remain traps in merrill poll without heat and other basic necessities or previous attempts to move people out of the city had failed. russian ukrainian negotiators of pores, virtual talks aimed at ending the war until tuesday, as the russian military continues its assault on the capital. this class will strike by parts of the russian massage in a northern district of kiev 11. yeah. my,

the explosion damaged electric cables and nearby buildings. earlier fire fighters rescued people from the smouldering ruins of the 9 story apartment building hit during an early morning attack. part of renewed fighting on the outskirts of the capitol. the city has so far resisted russia's advance richard recovered, a rocket hit the building, which at 1st i saw the blast. and then 5 or 6 seconds later, there was an explosion. the entrance door was simply blown out. malenko wood, they electrical and we really weren't expecting this. we thought nothing bad could happen to a small building on the outskirts of keith. yet we went to sleep as usual at around

5 o'clock the bomb. i couldn't understand where i was, or there we were in our pajamas, russia denies targeting civilians and as holding fast its description of its 4 as a special military operation. although the defense ministry in moscow says, look, it's forces, have destroyed new me 4000 objects of ukraine's military infrastructure among its targets. a military training ground mill, the polish board in western ukraine hit on sunday. it was moscow's closest strike so far to nato territory. still president milady mused. lensky indicated peace talks could be making progress. the nation with her, she would, she would be representatives of our country's are holding daily talks. my video conference room, would you agree? no dual on the are 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 me. yes sir, would up. obviously this is a difficult story. a hard path, but we need this path, was debra julia or sarah a path desperately needed an eastern regions on the sustained russian assault. this was the city of crime, a task. i witness video from a resident there show destruction to our apartment. in a 5 story building, in the aftermath of an air raid, all the debris correspondence become lazy and key if i asked him for an idea of conditions there. while i'm on the northern edge of kia close to where those rest and troops are close enough for us, not tillery to strike the night story. apartment block behind me, you can see some of the destruction and the chaos ro here. pretty extraordinary scene neighbors. neighbors here, just kind of looking on in the day, taking pictures kind of not quite able to believe that, you know, a,

then this kind of destruction is now being meet it out on them and they're part of the world, but also to have the media circus. here everyone trying to make sense of these pictures and send them to viewers around the world. and lots people just trying to salvage whatever they can. lots of the tech cases will destroy people or wincing down suitcases bags from their balconies, trying to get out what they can. and there's a clean, clean up operation happening behind me pretty extorting. given the fact that we can still hear shelling pretty close by every couple of minutes. so there's no guarantee that this part of care might not see more destruction like this tonight. but people out sweeping the streets, trying to take debris away and prepare for some kind of normal life. meanwhile, keep city officials say they're preparing food supplies for the remaining 2000000 inhabitants. and in case of a siege, what are you seeing there? for now, there's 2 main routes in and out of the city. still open and 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've 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 the 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 it 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 lot uglier before it's over. and a quick, what about of that? some of those places are in the south that are now under russian control places like i guess on and what are you hearing from there or of seems pretty extraordinary images on 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,

emily topple and the russians seemingly have kidnapped the local directly elected mer and put their person in his place in her song, they seemingly, we're trying to come up with some kind of a repetition of what they did in gwinnett. glancing 2014 are 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 am having to use violence and more direct intimidation to and those purchase. i thank you for that. next they w correspondent and nick conway and keith. well, german chancellor, ola sholtes, and turkish president, reggie tire bird one have repeated their calls for a cease fire in ukraine. chancellor shawl says on his 1st official visit to anchor, where the 2 men had been plotting to discuss bilateral ties. but their discussions were in fact, dominated by the russian invasion of the crate. as it comes less than a week after turkey host of the ukrainian or russian foreign ministers in the 1st

high level negotiations since the crisis began for president early one pledged to do everything he could to mediate in this war. his remarks to the press stop short of condemning the russian invasion. chancellor shots, however, was much more direct. president edwin and myself are absolutely in agreement that the violent military conflict in ukraine must be condemned and that we want to see a ceasefire as soon as possible. it has to happen now, so that not so that we can save lives. they have to be safe, coders for civilians, so that they can escape these areas of attack. and this has to happen as soon as possible. but in every single day, with every bomb. russia is got 1000000 further and further away from the international community and our values. so

a clear appeal now to the russian president, stop this conflict, there can only be identical matic solution of it. while they don't correspond you'll johan was at the your press conference in the turkish capital and joins us now. welcome you. but relations between these 2 nato allies have been fractious in the past. i was today's atmosphere. well, the atmosphere in general was friendly. the turkish president used the turkish word dust, which mean friend, right at the beginning, a well coming all of shows. love shows also also send the turkish president for the talks, which actually lasted longer than expected and schedule. so the press conference had to be postponed, but these 2 leaders had to talk about many issues. after all this with all of shorts is a 1st official visit to turkey since he took over as german chancellor in december

. but clearly, these talks today were overshadowed by the war in ukraine and we just had these 2 statements there. i think this is what's going to remain what's going to stay and what we are going to remember after a 2 days meetings. ok, so be saying them they repeated calls for this war 2. and what role can germany until you play in strengthening diplomatic efforts? what was, what was actually interesting to me is that it was indeed all our shoals who made these very clear commons, who was keen on emphasizing where the turkish president and him agree that there has to be an immediate cease fire in ukraine that there have to be humanitarian corridors to get people to safety. but the fact that he was emphasizing that so clearly also made it more obvious to me at least where they disagree. and this is how to deal with russia. touch present, edwin,

and continues his balancing act here at between on the one hand, providing support to ukraine, sending combat drones. that's what he did, he send combat drones to ukraine. he also a close the boss for a straight to a warship which is essentially limiting a free movement for the russian fleet. and that was something all up shaw, specifically, well come to today. but on the other hand, the turkish leader has always been very careful trying not to anger moscow too much . so unlike his nato allies, turkey turkish president, edwin had so far kept a space open for russian plains and had not issued any sanctions against the kremlin. okay, thank you for that. you will, johan, an anchor. the ukrainian government says around to 20000 foreigners have signed up to help fight russian troops. us after president the landscape announced

the creation of what he called an international legion for volunteers from overseas . some countries of ursa national not to join the conflict, threatening them with legal action. the w spirit of sugar caught up with some of the 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, commission, packed with equipment and protective gear, and i told he is waiting to board the train to ukraine to drive 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 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 joints a 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 as dennis from keith. the business man is just back from spain, where he took his 4 children to safety. now he is returning to his home town and is ready to fight. do the horses. you could look one more time, but happy that far in as coming to help us sell us love. it puts a smile on our faces. i really wish him a shop and it makes us stronger in our fight against the aggressors soda, settle the part together. they are watching. recent pictures from keith advancing, rush and tags 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 boy's own continuous 1st to leave it

and then to the front lines. knowing that he might never come back. i'd set you up to dates at more of the latest developments on the war in ukraine at the top of the hour and to round the clock, of course, on the website. that's d w dot com have a good not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day and in depth look at current news, events analyzed by experts and critical thinkers. this is the day weekdays on d w.
