after it was hit by a bomb. days before satellite image showed the russian white for children, written in large white letters at both ends of the building. but that did not stop had been targeted from when you really will. a god, the more my in blockaded, maria paul, the and russian plane intentionally dropped a super powerful mom on a drama theater in the city said he got hundreds of people were hiding. there was shelling, with all the building is destroyed, the number of casualties is not yet know give, give their hibler, sion navy door across my appall, similar images of devastation. motion forces have perceived the city for over a week now cutting of the billions from food, water, electricity, and medical supply of unlikely. alum, this local hospital has to operate with constant shilling around it.

inside a desperate scene unfolds civilians lay injured and medical staff do what they can, we will oh, those were who couldn't be saved. have been taken to the basement and covered and blankets with this little one and you live 22 days before he died. right now there is no more where they can store the bodies, brother, sugar, but most of them all the other hospitals have been bombed and no one can collect on here. there's no emergency services, there's nobody, i don't know where we will put them or how we will proceed from are you only a few have been able to escape monopole that even maps not safe ukrainian authority, se rushing forces. while on a convoy fling, mario poll,

leaving several people injured. when joined by maria stewart shank oh, she originally comes from the besieged city of marble, but is currently living from the west of ukraine. maria, some of your family are still in maryville. have you been able to speak to them and what are they telling you about the situation that hi yeah, yes. we finally managed to create my grandma was there alone and very old living in the house for 15 days without any hates. i was trying to see and we didn't have any connections with her. and finally, yesterday we found our close friend, the priest in the village and managed to educate her from from the city. but still there, i a lot of our close people with who we don't have any concepts and you can leave the city as a grandmother told you what the situation was like in the city. while the situation

was really horrible, the house nearby was absolutely destroy it. was long and the windows in my grandma house were also broken. so she was there with the freezing temperature for 2 weeks and she could eat just some red and water. so we were so happy to finally get in touch with her and now she stay. but main of other people like thousands of people, i still there without any foods. and basically, so you, craig has a huge rush of targeting that a fear to their mario pull that served apparently as a shelter for many civilians. what do you know about this theater? yeah, it's hard breaking to see that the theater was bombed now. and the last time i was

there was a few months ago. it was crease months and there was a beautiful christmas tree on this claire just year by the theater. and i was go in there as a key to my parents now. ballots and series. and now it's like just right. and there were thousands of people were hiding there. so i can think about that really. so you are now in levine in the west of your crime. do you feel safe that now? yes, i do. i feel that pretty safe here. and you know, in comparison to marrying pole where thousands of people are dying every day and the shelling doesn't stop here, it's relatively safe. we hear sirens, we have a few, but still the like 15 years. and there are a lot of people who come here from different areas of ukraine,

and we are helping them finding some shelter and organizing sounds. i mean, is there an age so that they can go further to holland or to other european countries? maria su jenko, they're talking to us from the thank you very much for talking to us and i did all the years i was under for now and joins us from the beef and west and you cried. you are in love it. it's a region that was pretty quiet compared to the other parts of the country and people have been fleeing that for safety. how things now? well, we have for a rate alarms or almost every night. and that is why people are on edge a bits. however, we also have to say that the city itself has been spared from attacks. but many people told me that there are scared that the city of live could become

a targets too. but of course they are trying to go on with their lives. and so many of them are getting involved as volunteers, there are helping to put together aid deliveries that are had inked east ward. and there are helping them. many, many refugees that are still arriving here in the city, according to the mayor of thousands arrive every day at the railway station here and live. people who have flats there have a fighting in the central and eastern part of the country where the russian forces are continuing to systematically target civilian areas, hospital schools. and so what it means for people in such places that are under a shelling a we were able to find out where we troubles today. tamiya, here is our report residential houses reduced to rubble.

people mourning the loss of their loved ones. this is a neighbourhood injured, tommy, a city around 150 kilometers west of ki, if that has been under constant shelling since the beginning of russia war on ukraine. this is where we met the he whose house was completely destroyed by russian messiah but the bombs dropped and everything exploded. we just made it out is 29 year old daughter, however, was killed on this hot. you see he appears coleman withdrawn. it seems like he is still not able to process what happened good, but its mitchell is the night before we were sitting together and she little one, she said, daddy, you have a difficult personality, but i'm just like, you know, that's what she told me before she died those words remain in my heart just down the street a hospital a miss i narrowly missed the building,

dr. lash tells us he still shocked. while we are talking, the error rate alarm goes off again, the mythical. and by showing you call it something we've never seen before. if enough, it's war. a war waged on a civilian population. so we're seeing that more civilians are being killed in ukraine than soldiers. you haven't seen. it can be quoted. you told me i just 150 kilometers away from the heavy fighting and key of has become a trends. it's point $48.00 deliveries to the capital and refugees fleeing the region. we met with the mayor say he's to homeland. his taff told us he's so busy he hardly sleeps in the senior booting hooton's approach to the cities that don't given is to intimidate us to break our will. but he's achieving the opposite. people are uniting the mayor shows us components of the messiah that hits the city. one of the targets, he says,

was this cool in the city center. the building is heavily damaged. fortunately, there were no kits here. when the attack happened. back at the ruins of c, he's house. he lost so much and yet he says he doesn't take it at people afresh. the ordinary people are not to blame. it's their leadership. say he wants to rebuild his house as soon as possible. at 1st he says, we need to police so both are ukraine and russia. cautiously optimistic about finding an agreement as soon as that optimism warranted you think? well, to be honest guard, i'm not sure about that, both sides. i keep saying that progress has been made that there is room for compromise. however, today, the kremlin has accused her the ukraine for not being active. her form of

her slowing the talks are and so the russian side has put forward to her and at a document add that a would demand ukraine to declare neutrality and to accept the limits on it, sir, armed forces. but the u. korean side is saying that this is just a russian proposal, that it's nothing that ukraine is agreeing on. and we have to say that the ukraine officials have also stressed that they are very skeptical. they don't trust her. the russian promises they don't trust that vladimir putin is really committed to peace. they think he might be only trying to buy time. however, it's also important to stress that what's the country needs right now is, is this table ceasefire. that's what they're people neat. d, w correspondents, alexander phenomena, they're reporting from levine and western ukraine. thank you very much. lozano

ukraine's president brother miss lensky has used alive address to deliver a harsh assessment of germany's political class and a powerful and often pointed speech to germany's parliament. lensky said lawmakers enabled putin's invasion of ukraine by, for example, allowing to become dependent on energy imports from russia. he also accused chancellor, all of shorts of failing to recognize the growing threat posed by russia. his country is not far from germany, and it is being destroyed by war. in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities. russia is committing in ukraine. the appeal is only over the past 3 weeks. many people have been killed . thousands of ukrainians. the occupiers have killed 108 children in the middle of your yahoo! in the year 2022 blessed lord said to develop a level a heads in hands as german lawmakers listened for 11 minutes to zalinski speaking

live from ukraine. you, the ukranian president did not means his words more strongly criticizing berlin for continuing to import gas and oil from russia. money available, zip is nearly, is le fancy, if you would with some measures were taken to late. these sanctions have not been enough to stop for war. it is that we're seeing just how many connections your companies still have. i'm with russia, with a country that is using you and other countries to finance this wall over these past 3 weeks of wolf. ha, we've been fighting for our lives and for our freedom that, that it is navine than us that she does not. somebody will never zelinski adds germany to do more, to support ukraine. if not, europe would not survive, he warned, would not be able to keep its values. he, he called what ukraine sees as a lack of proper support from berlin. a new wall between germany and ukraine,

glitchy or a former comedian actor. and then president of the united states and ronald reagan once said, you, mister president, tear down with the small law. and let us, let me tell you again. who in chancellor sholtes, please break down this wall live here in germany. the road of leadership said you deserve, and your future generations will be proud of you might be doing get them at least support us support please support each and every ukrainian stop the war. he, when it but the german government had said before the speech that it would not formally respond. and so the session ended with a standing ovation for the ukrainian president and with german lawmakers left to

digest an inconvenient truth for one houses on this historic speech, or would think with me the students are chief, an international editor, richard walker, which is what was your main take away from the speech, your god. it was really quite a devastating speech that he made to i think use the expression, the political class just earlier. and it really was the political class. it wasn't really aimed just to one individual or one political party or anything like that. it was a message that i think will really be hitting home in the german political class for a long time. essentially saying that germany has contributed to this situation. this war that ukraine finds itself now fighting. and his argument went that there is a new wall bringing we just heard

a clip of it in the speech that there is a new wall rising in europe. and that it's not the berlin wall, but it is, it is a war between freedom and slavery running right through europe. he said, and he said that this wall is getting higher and higher and that as every bomb falls on ukraine, it is getting higher still. and he made the case that this war between slavery freedom that this meant the building blocks of it was some of these projects which germany was very closely involved with, for instance, node stream to the gas pipeline, linking russia to germany, and going around ukraine. avoiding sending gas is very important commodities through ukraine. he said that we warned you for years and years that this was a weapon. this was part of newton's preparation for this war. but the germany told it all we heard back was that it's business, it's business is nothing to do with with geo politics shots that recently. right.

which was up until really just the turn of the year was what all assholes himself, german chancellor said, this is what america, the german chancellor for 16 years before him always said, she said, you know, this is, this is really purely a business project. and there were other examples too, but i think the overall message that lensky had to what i think will be hard for germany to digest is that germany has been on a completely wrong track. and what's hard for the jumps to digest is germany sees itself as a sort of enlightened power that it took the lessons of the 2nd world war, which it caused the lessons of the cold war where it was really, you know, absolutely on the front line of it that it learned those lessons that the applies. those were progressive way, that it stands for peace, that it stands for brute building bridges. not was. this was part of the thinking behind something like north street to lensky is essentially saying, no, this,

this whole approach is wrong. that this kind of, you know, what he would see is maybe a passive approach to, to, to the real politics of great powers today. can actually contribute to was a not help to prevent them. i think that may, it will be really kind of trickling through the jump political system. i said you said earlier that it might hit home, but will it really that didn't even have the bait after? so then the speech actually, if you, there's been, there's been outraged about that, that it went back to business as usual in the bonus tag. in fact, it was, it was so extreme that the deputy president, the one to start immediately after that speech wished happy 60th birthday to to members of the bonus tag. this is course quite a lot of our rate, but i think this will fuel the debate, for example, about whether germany can keep buying russian oil and gas for much longer,

especially, or to feel doing which it is still doing. and because all and gas prices of shot up in this crisis, russia is getting a serious payday out of the situation now. so that debate is going to intensify their c v. senior members of the opposition. conservative saying that germany has to pull the plug on that if there are more atrocities in this war. in particular, if what we've been seeing in murray or poll is now replicated in many other cities, you can expect that debate to intensify partly fuel by this speech. richard walker, thank you very much. you as president joe biden has told reporters that he thinks vladimir putin is a war criminal because of his actions in ukraine. it's the u. s. president. shop is home condemnation of russia's leader. yes. until now, the white house has avoided calling today to walk around, saying a formal process is needed to make that designation under international law, but also announced an additional $800000000.00 in military to ukraine during more

drones and to tie across wells to fight russian as well for some american sending money and defensive weapons, the grant alone is not enough. instead they want to help defend the country against the russian army themselves are correspondent in his pool that one of them andrew bennett, is 45 lives in new jersey. and although he never served in the military, he is getting ready to go to ukraine in the shop in the heart of manhattan who find everything to fight in a war, besides weapons, a lawyer, hello, and how are you? ah, come on in my right arm for this order for plate i protect is urged stonegate strong . to creep up on me i, i assume i'm going to be fine. ah, i assume that i am set my mind to go, you know, help. what of people need help? not necessarily picking up a rifle and join in the army, but people are trapped. people that need medicine. ah,

did he somebody come get them? not all customers want to go fight in ukraine themselves. they just buying gear to donate. usually people are putting him on an airplane in a shipment to poland and then through through the western side of ukraine on the polish border there, bring brought are brought there by truck. he said, i'm frank for them that they'll be fine. and we'll, we'll see them again soon when they've done their work and are ready to come home. andrew is very religious. he got triggered by one of ukraine's presidents. zalinski is video messages in which he asked for foreign volunteers to help repel the russian monitor will and t is conjoined these ukrainian international leads. and for example, here at the consulate in new york city officials to say that more than 20000 volunteers from over 50 countries already joined this military unit. the u. s.

government however, is putting out warnings, saying that there won't be any assistance for americans if they get captured or injured in combat. andrew is hoping to get his passport in the next days, and then he's good to go. help the weak defend the weak, defend the helpless patch up, the injured comfort, the hopeless, and the end of the stress than to destroy people help secure refugee movement out of the country. the best way i can, i'll be flying into poland and she, once i get off the plane, i'm going to see where i'm needed. he has no family. he will have to say good bye to. but there is his 4 year old dog, better friends will take care of the little rescue while the andrew is trying helping victims of 441 of russia's most famous wrappers has taken a very public style against the war. oxy miran has canceled 6 sold out concert in

russia and protest, and instead staged a charity concert this week in the turkish city of his stumble. the w's, julia ha, was at the gig, along with hundreds of russians, ah, a rat concert against the war in ukraine. the show and musician oxy miran plays at this east nimble club, would probably land him in jail, back home in russia. void for them to pull out of the war and ukraine has been going on for more than 2 weeks. and yet there are tens of millions of russians who categorically disagree with this war. and i think this should be said as low as possible, but more the gracia with him scully. the redstone sent him into resonated with many concert goers. hundreds lined up to get a glimpse of the artist. most of them were russians. but dear, even even though grace cannot owe it,

we are all supporting the ukrainians and days. he still remained there because i actually want to show you that as russians we stand together against what is happening now. we're still glad it's a shock than aaron and his team had helped us concert in protest. the only other concert them in that little bush, the voters, it's, we're pretty at the i'm, i don't want this war. i don't believe that it's a special operation. you know, i've been against putin for many years against his claim to power. i'm ashamed of what our country has become. i was just that oxy miran is one of russia's best known wrappers. he recently postponed his shows in moscow in saint petersburg and announced a series of charity concerts abroad, called russians against war proceeds will go towards helping ukrainian refugees. he says, like oxy miran many russians who oppose the war, trying to go abroad. turkey is still allowing russian flights in its air space. thousands are estimated to have escaped to istanbul in recent weeks. now we flew

from russia on march 8th. i because we felt very secure and scared and we didn't want to stay there. and i believe we, we was, we were afraid to get stock there. so that's why we moved here this hitchow's which is neither very serious repression. taking place against those who protest in russia. and it's become impossible to take to the streets because people are beaten up. he was more and being taken into custody. but he g. is this is a night marius sayed, the of oh, a nightmare that rep oxymoron. has decided he must speak out against even if that might mean he won't be able to return to russia any time soon with you're watching t w news, he has a recap of the latest developments in the ukraine war. ukraine has accused russia
