and medical supplies. unlike with all of this local hospital, has to operate with constant shelling around it. inside a desperate scene unfolds civilians lay injured and medical staff. they won't, they can remove. oh, with those who are, who couldn't be saved, have been taken to the basement and covered and blankets with little one. and he lived 22 days before he dined 100 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. okay, there's no emergency services. there's nobody, i don't know where we would put them. how we will proceed from are you only

a few have been able to escape monopole. but even maps, not safe. ukrainian authorities say, rushing forces wired on a convoy fling mario poll, leaving several people injured. when joined by maria su, change because she originally comes from the besieged city of marble, but is currently living in 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 upgrade 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 dissertation was really horrible, the house nearby was absolutely destroyed. it was bombed, and the windows in my grandma's house were also broken. so she was there with the freezing temperature for 2 weeks and she could just, you know, read 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 that 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 there was mom 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 i fear it. 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 love if in the west of your crime, do you feel safe that now? yes, i do. i feel that to say here and, you know, in comparison to marry polo where thousands of people are dying every day and the

shelling doesn't talk here, it's relatively safe. we hear sirens, we have the care to sell 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 where we assume jenko they're talking to us from the thank you very much for talking to us and i did all the summer for now and joins us from levin 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 the edge a bit. 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 heading 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 been fighting in the central and eastern part of the country where the russian forces are continuing to systematically target civilian areas, hospital calls. and so what it means for people in such places that are under a shelling a we were able to find out are we troubles today? tamiya,

here is our report residential houses reduced to rubble. people mourning the loss of their loved ones. this is a neighborhood 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 worry mad sir. he whose house was completely destroyed by russian messiah with a bombs dropped and everything exploded. we just made it out. really. his 29 year old daughter however, was killed on the spot. you could 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. she delivers one. she said, daddy, you have a difficult personality, but i'm just like you. yes,

that's what she told me before she died. those words remain in my heart just down the street a hospital and 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, but you and you call it something we'd 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. e b a. him, it's even, it can be quoted. you told me a just 150 kilometers away from the heavy fighting. and keith has become a trends at point $48.00 deliveries to the capital and refugees fleeing the region . we met with the mayor say he's to homeland. his staff 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. the 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 kids 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 hated a 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 so both ukraine and russia cautiously optimistic about finding an agreement soon or is that optimism warranted? you think? well, to be honest, god, 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 their russian side has put forward to her an air 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 to 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 correspondent, alexander phenomena,

they're reporting from levine and western ukraine. thank you very much. lozano ukrainian president valona zelinski has used a life address to deliver a harsh assessment of germany's political class in a powerful and often pointed speech to germany's parliament. zelinski said lawmakers enabled putins invasion of ukraine by allowing germany to become dependent on energy imports from russia. he also accused chancellor all of shows of failing to recognize the growing threat posed by russia. his country is not far from germany, and it is being destroyed by war blue in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities ross or is committing in ukraine. the 3rd building 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 you who in the year 2022 blighted lot. i said raoul, there were 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 criticized in berlin for continuing to import gas and oil from russia . assembled them. zip is nearly is le santia. he works with some measures were taken to late. these sanctions have not been enough to stop for war. is that we're seems just how many connections your company store have. i'm with russia, with a country that is using you and other countries to finance this war. over these past 3 weeks of wall here, we've been fighting for our lives and for our freedom that it is living than us to sit down and us little, 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 at all. oh, which a firmer comedian, actor. and then president of the united states of ronald reagan once said, you, mister president, tear down with the small law. let me tell you again. who in chancellor schultz, please brecht on this wall, leave? here germany, the road of leadership said you deserve and your future generations will be proud of you. it might be really good to 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. and for one houses on this historic speech or would think or with me, the students aren't even an international enter richard walker, which of what was your main take away from the speech? your god. it was really quite a devastating speech that he made to. i think used the expression, the political class just earlier and it really was the political class. it wasn't really aimed just to one individual or, or, or one political party or anything like that. it was a message that i think will really be hitting home. and in the german political class for a long time, and 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 it. 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 policy sold said 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, we 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 to for germans 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, this progressive way, that it stands for peace, that it stands for brute building bridges,

not walls. 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, it went back to business as usual in the bonus tag. in fact, it was, it was so extreme that the deputy president the bonus, doug 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 seal doing which it is still doing. and because all and gas prices have shut up in this crisis, russia is getting 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 mary, your pole 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. let's have a look now. some of the other developments in this conflict, united nations talk court has ordered russia to immediately, immediately hold its invasion of ukraine. and it's largely symbolic ruling. the international court of justice says it has seen no evidence to support the war. moscow claims the grant is carrying out genocide against russian speakers in the

east of the country. russian president vladimir putin as given a new televised address, threatening russian. so align themselves with the west and calling them scum and try to put in a also denounced western saxophone russia and said his invasion of ukraine, which he calls you me, a military operation is going to play your market. i see. what would you, as one of the few countries that allows commercial surrogacy, ukraine has become a european hub for the practice. but baby is born in kiff with biological parents abroad on our stranded since the war broke out, as bombs fall near the capital. the newborns are being cared for by nurses in a makeshift clinic. tiny souls oblivious to the danger above. thanks to nurses who brought them to a shelter. when the war broke out,

the maternity team chose to through the hind oksana fears for the safety of her own children in ukraine's north east. but somebody feels bound by a sense of duty or who come. i am as that is mother. we stay to look after them who will look after them while the parents can't enter ukraine, who will help them or more. so we do. we can't leave them behind if and how is that even possible? they are tiny creatures. with nearly 2 dozen infants, full time care is an exhausting task. a nissan we put in the past. we used to do ship just when we had time to rest to water. we don't have time to rest now miss mccord, we stay with the children around the clock. my m was we try to take short naps to swap, but there are many children here and there's

a lot of work to do with it till it's tough. tough indeed. ukraine is one of the few countries that allows commercial surrogacy for foreigners by law. the biological parents must be present to collect the baby and confirm its nationality. but the war has left them unable to travel to ukraine, leaving the infants in limbo. surrogacy has long been under scrutiny from rights groups who say it exploits women in financial need be outbreak of war is now putting a spotlight on just how precarious the business can be. while russia's most famous wrappers has taken a very public stand against the war oxy miran has shelves, 6 sold out concerts in russia in protest, and instead staged a charity concert this weekend, the turkish city of his stumble did abuse correspondent julia han 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 with them to promote 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 garage over those color. the redstone sentiment resonated with many concert goers, hundreds lined up to get a glimpse of the artist. most of them were russians, but did human even though things cannot ortho itself, it was we are all supporting the ukrainians and days. he still remained an because i actually want to show you that as russians we stand together against what is happening now. we're still bloody shocks. ameren and his team have helped us

concert in protest. the only other concert them in the 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. and you know, i've been against, puking, 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 or 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 to georgia. now there's 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 nightmare. he is sayed, though, of children. oh, a nightmare that rapport 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 cindy w. news coming up next in d. w. news asia, the war in europe draws focus away from all the conflict like rats in miramar,
