[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, this is d devany news live from berlin. russia escalates it's bombardment of kiev. the ukraine says the russians are using long range missiles to target residential areas from positions outside the capital. russian forces are also stepping up their assaults on other ukrainian towns and cities in a new light, 9 video address. the ukranian president says negotiations with russia starting to sound more realistic and that,

but that more time is needed. and making moscow pay for is war of aggression. the you imposes a new round of sanctions targeting vladimir putin in a circle and sectors such as luxury goods and steel. but why is europe leaving one key sector alone? plus the crowning conductor, who's trying to use music to promote peace asana late if talks to us about her fees for her family and for the future. and how she hopes, culture can help bring people together. ah, i'm rebecca, his welcome to the program. russia has stepped up, its bombardment of ukraine's capital cave strikes, hit the city at sunrise. it's unclear if there were any casualties. a series of rush and strikes also hit a residential neighborhood yesterday. authorities say at least 5 people were killed

in those attacks. a curfew is now in place until thursday morning. 3 eastern european latest visit had cave on tuesday, risking the journey to show solidarity with you. crime in keys as the russian advance nears ukrainian soldiers have taken time to bury the fallen. here they are laying to rest. a comrade who was killed resisting the russians and bought a spill outside. keith as ukrainians watched the ceremony, they know that there will be many more funerals before the guns fall silent. oh, my little sign of a peaceful solution is in sight. president zalinski said he saw glimmer of hope for compromise in talks with russia, even as moscow stepped up its bombardment of the capitol. silvers little squad. it is important and it's difficult, but important because any war ends in an agreement meeting is, continues easy enough, as i'm told to positions in a negotiation. sam, more realistic in though he isn't. however,

there still needs to be more time for decisions to be in ukraine's interests. meanwhile, hailing glory to ukraine, the polish chickens, lavine and prime ministers became the 1st foreign leaders to visit keeps since russia's invasion. all 3 are former communist territories, which are now members of the un nato. they reiterated the desire to give you crane away to join to you as soon as possible. oh, i hope it should be agreed the next couple of they so weeks and the candidate status will be given to the end of this year of the late like the 3 week old conflict has cranked a cold war level tension between moscow and the west. and driven more than 3000000 ukrainians fleeing across the border to seek refuge. zalinski also addressed the key concern used by vladimir putin to justify the invasion of russia's ex soviet neighbor. by saying ukraine should accept that it would not become a member of the nato defense alliance. new sabrina ukraine is not a member of nato with citizens. we understand that we've heard for years that the

doors were open to me, but we also heard that we could not join the truth and it must be recognized to probably there. but there was no of this movement elsewhere in the west to lensky said he would address the u. s. congress leisure on wednesday. and joe biden will visit europe next week to sure of nasal unity as war rages on its eastern flank. and a spring and dw correspondent, alexander phenomena in la viv alexandra there has been increased chilling as we just heard in and around the capital cave. what is happening there in the capital? there are reports about heavy fighting on the outskirts of key of explosions in the city center. residential areas were apparently hit by russian earth. try eggs. and the russian forces are trying to type in their grip on the city. and that is why the city to me or announce or curfew that it's gone. i left for 35 hours. he

urge all residents to seek shelter to take cover with ally college cor. however, also publish a statement saying that the city's not going to given to give up her that the russians can take buildings, but not the people of key. if alexander, yesterday we saw 3 eastern european latest visit zalinski in cave at huge personal risk, how significant was that visit while taking or given the situation in keith, the decision to travel to the ukrainian capital was a very bold move and a highly symbolic gesture that was praised by the ukraine and president, he said that having such such friends and partners, make sure that ukraine is going to win the war. however, we also have to stress what they talked about and in terms of substance,

are there talk about sanctions, new sanctions against russia? that is likely to happen. they talked about youth, unitarian hauled and use a system to rebuild ukraine. that is also likely to happen once we will have peace . however, other topics they were that were on the agenda. the proposal by the polish vice prime minister catching ski to have thought of peace keeping force on the ground in ukraine, where nato forces supporting this mission is, is not very likely to happen any time. now your in levine, in the west of ukraine are people, they're worried that the violence or the shelling the bombardments they were saying elsewhere will soon reach that out of the country. yes, people here are worried, they are scared or they believe that anything can happen. and we saw just

a few days ago that a russian forces attacked military infrastructure, training and peacekeeping center, and not far away from live and only about 20 kilometers away from the polish border . so people are aware of that. and this night we had to seek shelter. we had an 8, a arrayed alarm twice this night. so people are scared, of course. now as we heard in our port, just prior to speaking to you, president zalinski said he believes russia may now be more open to negotiations. that a position as he put it may be more is moralistic. now, is that overly helpful? do you think it could be, but of course that's a message that is needed. he in ukraine and this time of suffering and desperation. and, and we also have to stress that there has been some progress in the talks between

the ukrainian and russian delegations. we saw that yesterday, 2000 to vehicles were able to leave the city of mar, you pull the city that is under siege. so this is really a progress, a taking into account how desperate the situation there is. when we talk about talks about a potential ceasefire, this is a long way to go, i would say, and we'll see whether the ukrainian government or it's delegation, will be able to, to make any progress on that. talking to the russian delegation and dw cars on alexander phenomena. thank you very much. as to now to day that d w, russia analyst, roman, got your benco. he's speaking to us from von, from president zalinski as we were to talking about they're discussing with alexandra says that russian demands during the talks are becoming more realistic.

do we know what russians position is and whether it has indeed shifted? well, at this moment, we have no details from those negotiations, so we can only speculate and analyze. so what we heard from russia before, or during the previous rounds of negotiations that russia insisted, for example, that ukraine acknowledged crimea and exclaiming, as part of russia, russia was also suggesting that ukraine should acknowledge those so called people's republics in eastern ukraine. don't ask and hans, because independent states, so we don't hear such demands anymore, and we can assume that maybe russia has drugged them. what you have heard, for example, from the russian representative, the u. n. r. the key 3 demands that russia is still sticking to, and those are that ukraine should be d. c. k did. this is how russia puts it.

probably meaning that there are some, some extremists in power in ukraine, which is of course, not the case. russia also insists on the demilitarized ukraine, and this is what we see from the very beginning, russian army striking military objects. ukraine, but not only admitted to objects, of course. and russia also wants ukraine to put into its constitution to write down the passage that it will not be part of nato. and this is what we've heard from the president that maybe ukraine is no more pursuing that goal. but she didn't say quite like that. you said that maybe it will be difficult and that she is disappointed. so i think there is some movement, but in the key question for you, great now, which is humanitarian corridors, there has been little progress, some but little ukraine claims russia has been escalating. it's bombardment of civilian targets. do you think that's a strategic move? of course, of course it is

a move and i think russia is trying to terrorize you crying to terrorize ukrainian population to, to force some concessions from the government for in care of and to force you crying in to, to, to move on some, some key issues for russia, and of course the 2nd a i think is to to move ukrainians. do to become refugees to leave the country, to block the roads, to do maybe create difficulties for you of the ukrainian army. and this is what i think is the goal. but it is not working because ukrainian government is still fighting, and i think it will not give up. it will not yield to russian demands. and even those terrible rights that we've seen for 3 weeks now that they will not lead for, for, for ukraine to change its position run. and we don't have much time left. but i wanted to ask you just domestically what effect this invasion and the international

sanctions are having on russians shortly. just one example, the fact of sanctions is really growing day by day. and i hear news that the russians are really worried that they will not be having enough enough of supplies of things for their daily needs. for example, things like members for kids, russians are trying to, to buy as many as they can as long. there are some still in russian shops, so we see a spare parts for cars, for some medical equipment, some, some medicine, you name it. and there is a huge, huge shortage of such things in russia. in the coming days and weeks. i think this is something russia underestimated. rahman gunter rancor fun date of any russian department. thank you very much for the analysis. his it up now had some other developments in the conflict to journalists working for the u. s. network fox news

have been killed in ukraine. irish cameraman, pierre's decker ships, k st here at the front of this picture, and ukrainian producer alexandra cook. she nova died when their vehicle came under fire outside cave. at least 4 journalists have died covering the conflict. so from credit rating companies say russia may be on the verge of defaulting on its foreign currency debt. international sanctions have limited limited its ability to access the foreign exchange reserves. moscow is due to pay over $170000000.00 in interest on sovereign bonds. on wednesday, with more payments looming later in the month, a t v journalist who was arrested for protesting against russia's war in ukraine has been released with a fine marina of cnn of santa cova. excuse me, was find around 250 euros. could still receive a prison sentence, the employee of state owned channel one was detained after she interrupted, alive, news show,

holding an anti war post them nearly parcels in russia. effectively criminalize independent reporting on the war. the european union has imposed a new round of sanctions to punish russia for its invasion of ukraine. among the sectors targeted a luxury, goods and steel. the sanctions also phrased the assets of more business ladies who support the russian states, including oligarchy, roman abramoff edge. but moscow's oil and gas exports remain exempt. dw christine manuel has moved from brussels as russia continues to barrows, ukraine with bombs, the european union has delivered its latest blow to the kremlin with a fresh round of sanctions. they are designed to punish moscow for the death and devastation it has brought on its neva. the measures will be felt in russia by both the ordinary and the elite. they include banning the export of luxury goods to

russia. stopping steel product imports from russia, freezing the assets of the billionaire oligarchy, roman abramoff rich, and add this close to vladimir putin and denying russia special trading access into the e u market. the ear says this new round of sanctions will put more economic pressure on the kremlin further crippling its ability to finance the invasion into ukraine. but the block is still sending hundreds of millions of euro's into rushes coffees every single day. that money is payment for the oil and gas. europe buys from russia to keep the heating and lights on banding rushes. energy would deal a heavy blow to its economy, but it would also hurt ordinary europeans who are already seeing the cost of their living. so we have to find a solution how we as so soon as we can face out of this fossil fuel deliverance. but for the moment it is still extremely difficult. but this would make, of course,

a huge impact because right now, every day, we transfer 7 to 800000000 euros, and on the state budget or to the state budget of russia. since the end of february, the west has imposed thousands of sanctions on russia for its aggression towards ukraine. in just weeks, russia has overtaken iran to become the most sanctioned country in the world. it's not clear if this pressure will be enough to force russia to stop and joining us now as d. w correspond, christine were who filed that report. he joins us from brussels. christine, i have to say oil and gas still exempt thousands of sanctions for stoner oil. and gas sanctions, can the pressure on moscow ever be enough without step? that's a very good question. it's a question i've pushed out. so a lawmaker here in europe, the challenge that the europeans have,

is that going for the oil and gas sector in russia would immediately and directly impact at the lives and livelihoods of europeans. indeed, the inflation is soaring in the european union. and there have been protests in countries like italy, for example, because of the rising fuel prices. so european leaders are reluctant add to, to, to force a situation that will, at directly impact on the livelihoods are of europeans. for example, they could target the oil because it is much easier to find alternate of oil markets. but as a lawmaker said to me, what if russia retaliates by turning off the guess? certainly, europe is coming out of the the winter months. but this could also result in blackouts, power blackouts, in the european economy, which would have a direct impact on economic growth. so it appears right now the europeans 1st need to find safe alternatives, particularly on the gas front, before they're able to take that heavy blue christine nato. defense ministers will mate today to discuss the reinforcement of member states in eastern europe. it is

that assigned you think that nato is concerned, the russian invasion could spill over into nato territory. absolutely, and you're certainly hearing it from allies are on the eastern flank. are you suddenly hearing it from the baltic? states who have long felt insecure and venerable and have been the most vocal in terms of calling for more deployments out on existing units in, in their territories, for example. so, as they are real indications are just by how much nato has been ramping up its forces, how much it's been bolstering units, ab, that they genuinely feel that this could encroach into nato territories. and they are preparing themselves to defend any ally in the event that that were to happen as the secretary general against oldenburg was pointing out some of these plans or even longer term plans on this early in the short term. and they will require additional investment, significant additional investment are by nature members. and of course, we've seen that already by a number of them. germany, for example,

making significant increases to defense budget spending. if they are chance that nato could still be dragged into this war. even if members dave aren't directly targeted very unlikely at rebecca as we talk this morning. i can firms, he say no. and this is because we have seen later and we've heard that the commitments and then and about we will support ukraine. humanitarian efforts will you will send military aid and everything just short of directly engaging russia potentially. and so for example, a no fly zone of ukrainian air isc or of ukraine and skies is, is not an option. neither is the option of selling western troops to ukraine to fight alongside the ukrainians as they battled the russians. so that is a definitive know at this stage whether or not they're changes at some point, even as they are more growing cause for more people in europe or later to be involved. and it is very unlikely that that will be happening anytime soon. right. christine, thank you. the w ross correspond, christine,

while more than 3000000 people have now fled ukraine. since russia invaded nearly 3 weeks ago, many of them have ended up in neighboring poland. in recent years, warsaw has refused to take him migrants from other countries, but now and what has been called a major, you turn. they've changed the law to allow the new refugees to live and work legally blemish new, the polish of korean border. a city of 60000 people, thousands of refugees from ukraine arrived here every day. many of them have no idea what they will do next and where they will live. but after the polish parliament passed a law guaranteeing them support, they want to register in the polish social system as soon as possible at the city hall. a family from a vive is submitting the applications. but that doesn't mean they want paula to become the 2nd homeland. we submitted the documents to get

a polish registration number. so darl and what will happen next? how do you see your future? i don't know. now i'm here. then i'll go back home. it says the long to so i'll only be here temporarily the bow back sandra's 55 year old husband had to stay at home in the beef ukrainian men are barrett from leaving the country. his mother is sitting near by in the waiting room . but on the last of what my son did not leave because he stayed and live if to defend the city of war, if they attack live, if someone has to be there. my sister also stayed there together with my son, ash was annabel wants to stay temporarily in his border region as close to her loved ones as possible. she also hopes that she will soon return to them. their

registration procedure for one person takes about half an hour. the government says it's opening offices this week to help process applications. but the officials working at this office are struggling to cope with the vast number of applicants. my philosophy is when we at the moment i have one section taken care of id cards and population records. it's 7 people. but the only 2 can be assigned to new tasks because of a lack of equivalent of mental not going tennis channel. for example, there are only 4 fingerprint machines. meanwhile, in this border region, there are tens of thousands of refugees. many of them will try to reduce their hill in pajamas you as soon as possible to get the support guaranteed by the new law. was registered in poland, the ukrainian refugees will get access to schools to health services and even to a small amount of money for living expenses. but the whole registration process of

hundreds of thousands of refugees can take a very long time. this is a challenge. the polish authorities have never faced before when ukrainian conductor is fighting for her homeland on social media and in concert halls. oksana, lena is already a trailblazer, the 1st woman to can dr. germany's famous wagner opera festival. now the war in her homeland has left her feeling helpless, though she is determined to oppose it. de w caught up with her and run, ah, a concert for peace conducted by oxen. i lean of, she's visibly distressed by the war in her home confir ukraine. recently she joined the orchestra of the town there a commonality. bolona. they're playing a piece by ukrainian composer uti shift. shank. this intimate interpretation sounds like a prayer. we met lean of in rome, where she's preparing to conduct the opera to don dot by puccini. she's deeply
