earlier, we spoke to ne conley, our correspondent in ukraine, and asked him if there is any way. it could have been a mistake if we understand wasn't attacking her from there. this was a bomb dropped by a plane. we don't know what the weather conditions were like when this bomb was dropped. what was visible? we've all seen those images of that inscription, children written in big letters and capitalize in rushing on the ground outside that they drive stood up so many a time in my pool. it's certainly a very visible, very prominent building and the city surrounded by park road. so it's not like it's part of some kind of wider, built up area that would see it confusing else. i think that that sab reality is that at a time where this war is heading towards sieges, or big urban centers, there's a lot less in the way of positional fighting in the countryside out in the open away from civilians. inevitably, civilian casualties are going to rise situations like medical, whether it's attempts to create evacuation roots out for the city of several 100000
12:05 am
people. those fail time and time again. every time the russians, according to the brand new version, at least opening fire, preventing those happen. i was speaking to a young man 19 year old guy in my last few days. he has been able to get out some people are now getting out, but it's still tiny numbers compared to the people who are now stuck there for you . what is the other 4 going to 4th week without power, without eating, without you, don't you corresponding economy reporting that the world health organization says indiscriminate attacks across ukraine have damaged hospitals and crippled health care services. w h o director general tedra us get a yes, it was more in the war, could have a devastating impact on ukraine citizens and health care system for decades. that is an option to services and supplies in ukraine is posing annex stream risk to people with cardiovascular. this is concert that it is h i v and

tv which are among the leading coast mortality in ukraine. well, rachel rizzo joined us from washington d. c. now she's a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic cancels europe, sandra. hi rachel, welcome to d w. now the attacks are continuing despite sanctions, arms deliveries, and international condemnation is the west running out of options. well, the, the images that you've shown are indeed heartbreaking. and i think that the west is doing what it can at the moment. at the same time, it is careful because it doesn't want to escalate and create even more death and destruction on the ground. but as you've said before, i mean the bombing in places like car give and marry a pull, looks to be pretty indiscriminate. and you saw the lensky talk to the german
12:07 am
parliament earlier today saying that they're doing too little, saying that they're placing good economic relations with moscow over the protection of ukraine. they want more weapons, they want help protecting the sky. the problem is, is the west going to be able to deliver on those requests from ukraine? let's, let's talk actually a little bit more about that. and nato has ruled out a no fly zone. but what exactly can they do to help you crane without actually intervening military? so there are a couple things here. nato leaders, specifically, us president joe biden has said that nato will protect every inch of its territory . so that's the number one priority on behalf of nato. now, countries bilaterally can do much more to help you crane rather than the nato alliance. as a whole. you saw the united states approved in $800.00, a new $800000000.00 aid package to ukraine. that includes more javelle and more
12:08 am
stingers helmet, pistols, rifles. there's talk about potential as 300 surface to air missiles from vakio, potentially going to ukraine. so the help here is more on a bilateral basis between countries rather than from nato as an alliance. now it's being said, the trans atlantic partnership appears to be stronger today than it has been in perhaps decades. and the latter mere putin has actually united the west again, do you agree with that? i absolutely agree with that. what's interesting about hooton's decision to invade ukraine is that it's partially driven by the desire for fewer nato troops on russia's border. the desire for ukraine never to join the alliance. ironically,
12:09 am
he's going to end up with even more nato troops along his border. nato is florida, find it defenses in places like poland, lithuania, estonia and lot be reinforcing its troops in in romania. the interesting thing is that had he decided on another course of action, more hybrid then he could have gotten the cracks and fishers in the alliance that he likes to see, but he's really created unity and solidarity. rachel result from the atlanta counselors, europe center. thank you. ukrainian president valid america lansky has delivered an address to german lawmakers in a speech via video link. he said germany had enabled russia's invasion of his country by becoming dependent on russian energy imports. he also accused germany's political class of failing to recognize the growing russian threat and called for more action to end the war. his country is not far from germany,
