you whom you couldn't sleep. it was homage, navy, you pictures? i've seen people dead on the streets with my own eyes turned on me. some are you near my house? there's a shop. i was near by when it was hit by a shell. i went to see what happened and saw 4 bodies. they were probably hit by shrapnel, near their bodies were only picked up 2 days later. a couple of them obviously showed his teacher the studio 3 or 4 days after the war began. people started running out of food and yet both in the even the shops were shot and people started rating shops that had been damaged by shelling in search of food on put in another 3 or 4 days later. people were so hungry that they started breaking into shops that had stayed on damaged. that's because they needed to eat like magazines, allows you to switch it to the you. do i see just post on this new the older the sure city is gone,

food before it doesn't exist anymore or it's been destroyed. the shops have been smashed up by hungry people, and our buildings have been pulverized, says daniel bruce, this to my friends, went round the city and saw a 5 story. buildings were only the seller was left and was dan you. i thought that a couple of wall sodium, usually we could still use it over time, get used to all the explosions. you're not really scared anymore perfectly. when something hits nearby, i've stopped running into the cellar, then it just becomes normal. with the bluish closure, i get stressed when there's no internet though, and i can't reach my relatives or my girlfriend, too already managed to get to germany with his interview. all i think about mine is when i'll be able to get out of here and see her. and then you know what i'd say for there to this whole, but it's the explosions and the shooting. aren't as scary anymore as losing touch with the people you love about who says submitted an immunity. well,

since those messages at uni has managed to leave matthew pole for ukrainian government control territory after a dangerous journey through areas not fully controlled by either side. many others in mighty or pull have been less fortunate with repeated attempts to organize, reliable evacuation court a card or it's failing time and time again as ukraine accuses russia failing to stick to it cease fire commitments. and the world health organization says indiscriminate attacks across ukraine have damaged hospitals and crippled health care services. w h o director general ted ross. deborah, yes, was warned. the war could have a devastating impact on ukraine citizens and health care system for decades. the disruption to services and supplies in ukraine is posing unexplained risk to people with cardiovascular. this is concert that it is h i v and

tv which are among the leading coast of mortality in ukraine. well, earlier i spoke to rachel rizzo in washington d. c. she's a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic, cancels europe center. i asked her what nato can do to help you crane without actually intervening militarily. 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 javelins, more 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, he's going to end up with even more nato troops along his border. nato is fortifying it defenses in places like poland, lithuania, estonia,

and lot via reinforcing its troops in in romania. the interesting thing is that had he decided on another course of action more hybrid than 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 rizzo from the atlantic cancels europe center. thank you. well, with war, raging in ukraine, nato has been conducting a massive military drill in norway. the maneuvers conclude on april 1st and are designed to test aligns troops is readiness for combat in cold conditions. some of 30000 troops from 27 countries are taking part d w's. jack power reports from comp, rina in norway for you and maneuver. $2500.00 french polish, spanish and portuguese soldiers. taking part in this nato exercise code,

brilliant jump. the soldiers told us, the invasion of ukraine has posted their determination to defend economy from this exercise. we are, we actually, i can see that we are a solid group. ah, it's we are what we are working our like are one organization. and if we are together, we will, i find the way these drills have been in planning for 2 years. they're using the cold conditions in norway to train artillery, infantry and specialist. you can deal with chemical and biological attacks, checking interoperability between countries. these are the signs on the sites of war, but this isn't war. this is training drills. practice right now. the nato military alliance has no plans to send troops like these into the very real theatre of war in ukraine. these troops are on a 5 day notice to deploy,

but currently only within nato's borders. attending the drills, general vollmer once the 2nd highest officer in the german army, and now a top nato commander told d. w. news exclusively his greatly in favor of the recent move by the german government to increase annual military spending to 2 percent of g d. p, with an additional one off injection of a 100000000000 euros. our neighboring countries are counting on germany and with this announcement and with the will now to, to rebuild forces, re enforce them again, that is a strong statement. and of course, from a military perspective. and as a nato commander, i'm counting on germany that they brew rebuild capabilities. they gave away many years ago, the exercises here at camp renner, a. russo aimed at reassuring people living in norway, in the nearby town of hammer. people told us beth, fully aware of the drills and norway has border. we do with russia and

we never know what can happen. so i think it's also a lot of fear in norway. what can happen? we don't know. nato will protect us. and i think ukraine would her have it so if they were in natal, no, i'm afraid of that. and because i think we have to work and people to people in peace process and the military, many of the soldiers present here will know, participate in a 355 and cruise strong drill. cold response conducted by norway's own armed forces with nato involvement. the commanded, say these exercises aren't designed as warnings for russia, only to prepared defensively. ukrainian president followed minutes lansky has delivered an address to german lawmakers in

his 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, and it is being destroyed by war. in his address to the german parliament, ukrainian presidency. lensky vividly described the atrocities russert is committing in ukraine. the repeal is an invalid. over the past 3 weeks, many people have been killed, fowls, and one of ukrainians. the occupiers have killed 108 children in the middle of europe, and the year 2022 blighted little emerald, 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

. a simpleton, zip is near, is less fancy. which of the 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 war. i have these past 3 weeks of wall given we've been fighting for our lives and for our freedom that, that it is navine. the anesthesia does not stop order, 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 or is there a former comedian actor and then president of the united states. but ronald reagan

once said, you, mister president, tear down with the small law as let us, let me tell you again who chancellor schultz please brecht on this wall lead. if germany, the road of leadership said you deserve shall, and your future generations will be proud of. you might be doing it through mac lease support us support please support each and every ukrainian stopped the wall. he was up in 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. here watching d. w. news doc film as of next, looking at for decades of conflict in iraq. and don't forget,
