ah, ah ah ah, the russian invasion has devastated families and has been especially hard on children in ukraine. but for one group of children who have fled, the city of odessa to berlin, the jewish festival of pearham offered a chance for little light relief from the horrors of war and concerns about those left behind that story. and more coming up here on d, w, i'm bench was all in russia has again used hypersonic missiles as part of a series of brutal attacks on ukrainian targets. an army barracks is destroyed in one of the worst strikes on a ukrainian military targets in the invasion began. and an art school where

hundreds were sheltering his bomb did mary awful as russian troops pushing to the city we take you on board the u. s. naval aircraft carrier ah, i believe is all and welcome. russia says it has again use super fast hypersonic missiles in ukraine. so far it's not knowing what targets they were used against. but the news comes off, the dozens of ukrainian soldiers were killed in a missile strike on a military base in nikolai of in southern ukraine. the strike is one of the deadliest attacks on a ukrainian military target. since the start of the war and its fear, the death toll could rise significantly. authority say an art school in the southern city of mary. opal has also been bombed. hundreds of people has said to have sought shelter. there, there is no word on casualties. rush, his army had been pushing into the city the aftermath of

a russian missile attack and nichol live. it's believed 200 soldiers were inside. at the time, the base was struck. rescuers raced to find survivors in the rubble, but are forced to seek safety. when an air raid siren rings out, the constant threat of bombardment has forced people here under ground income idea that was lovely. i can't tell you how scared we are. we will live in the cellar now . when the bombs hit the army base, everything shook to the east. russians are pushing deeper into the besieged city of mario pole. ukraine says 90 percent of the city has been damaged or destroyed by russian bombardment. it's thought over a 1000 people were sheltering inside this theater when it was destroyed by a russian strike. hundreds are still missing. the city has no heat, water,

or power. the mayor said that fighting in the city center made rescue mission impossible. those who were able to flee said the situation was desperate immediately, but we sat in the basement for 10 days without going outside, even once. we didn't have water or electricity. luckily, we could use our neighbors bomb shelter when he's on his way. and he goes anymore, i could never imagine that a bomb would had a house next to mine, that my district will be literally wiped out. these the outskirts of the city were simply destroy it. and then i realized that there were no safe places in the city anymore. it was what she was up, wasn't in a potential escalation. russia says it's used a hypersonic missile for the 1st time in combat in ukraine. the missile shown here in footage from the defense ministry, has a range of up to 2000 kilometers and is difficult to intercept. unfortunately,

it may be, they case sir, but very important. yes, you are drawing attention that they did. they fired this hypersonic me south, which means that most likely they are testy in the, you know, they so kind of weapons and as well as other you weapon on the, the ukrainian territory. so unfortunately, and this might be the case in further, they operations. ukraine's president has called for peace talks, but russia's war machine shows no signs of stopping. they w corresponded they connolly joins us from the v of in placed in ukraine. nick, while, can you tell us about this strike on the ukrainian military base at mc goliath where we have 1st few details because they're in times of war. and the ukraine authorities are keeping all these details very tightly under wraps. this military sense ship here in crane as there is on the russian side. but we know that because i have, is the scene of pretty intense fighting some of the most intense fighting you've seen in recent weeks here. it's a key city on the way to odessa,

ukraine's biggest port on the black sea. the russians seemingly trying to cut ukraine off from its anti coastline. it's already almost done that in the see of as, although numerical holding out to the next target would be a desa without which ukraine is very am in a very difficult placement of the economically into the exports in terms of getting supply the fuel the future. so a lot of fighting going on that it had seemed, in recent days, like the ukrainians were actually pushing the russian forces back back towards had . so the only major russians, if you, that you cranes to rather the russians had taken so far. but now it seems an uptick in russian activity in the air, and using rushes at predominance in the skies to bomb this military facility. and if the reports marrying, i'll correct then significant casualties. ymca live among those ukrainian soldiers . i mentioned the other main poets, city of monte opal before. what's the latest you're hearing about the fighting that witnessing extraordinary, depressing, sad images mariposa t as one of its residents who i was able to reach told me just isn't there any more

the city is gone. mary poll is no more. that's what he had to say. at least and pretty difficult to give more in the way of detail as their basic no independent journalists on the ground. but she, military catastrophe, certainly people there without power, without heating, without reliable food supplies. now for weeks, people are beginning to get out some of those humanitarian corridors that had failed in recent weeks and now happening. but it's all pretty chaotic. small people i spoke to told me they better just gotten their call and there was no coordination . they were just able to get out, so there wasn't any coordinated m route out by bus. they just got in the car, had heard that it was possible and didn't even meet any russian or ukrainian checkpoints until they'd got a couple of 100 kilometers away. so that gives you a sense for quite how chaotic situation is on the ground. some people lucky enough to get out. and but lots people not wanting to risk being attacked on the way out, and just hunkering down their sellers for further days to come. and i understand it's difficult to get a reliable information. but what about these accusations from the city administration of mary? i'll post that her russians have been abducting several 1000 people from that city

and bring them to russia. my definitely seems at least what we've heard from people down the ground that out of certain parts of the city, those pot city that are closer to where the russian forces are based, where the russians have more sway, where it's very difficult to get to ukrainian held but the city that those if they see there in the auction out, is to leave via russian control territory. and that busy people are not been given the choice if they want to to head west to was greenhill turkey. that they say they're being told you are only what option now is to lead towards russia. we've heard reports of the russians then organizing camps on russian territory to the embassy or go through these people to work out who they are, to work out if they're gonna allow them to stay in russia. or if these are people who are, who may be a ukrainian or loyalist as it were, people who've served in ukraine's much in the past. fear their lungs. people marable, that if they have serv, new friends, military, if they have been active in your politics, that if they end up being taken to rush against their, will, that they will, facing differently negative consequences for themselves. so,

a lot of uncertainty out of worry there, marable and all the people who are still trying to get out. but don't know how and what about the situation where you are in live. well, the live is a city that is just full to the brim with refugees from across the country. you see number plates with numbers from and plates from across the country had different key of from odessa. so it's basically impossible get a hotel room and apartment, lots of people trying to head towards europe towards the through leave, but of cement between age of 18. 60 aren't allowed to leave ukraine right now. so this is basically the end of the line for them. lots of men here trying to work out of the can still make a living of so you cranes, economic situation is very difficult. but equally for now, they're not being called up as a full mobilization. only people who have combat experience are being pulled up. she transmit chief now, so lots people just waiting, trying to work out what to do. wondering whether to send their families west to safety in the you or to stay together here and a very tense to especially since in recent days we have seen air attacks on targets

here leaf. so the sense that there is no way really on ukrainian church that is fully safe from russian attacks retina economy. thank you very much for the update and enjoy now by someone who has managed to just get out of money. all boy michael, that's what the man call associate professor of international relations and foreign policy. and rector of mary awful state university. tell me more about how you actually manage to get out of the besieged city. hello. actually have spend there for all the time from the beginning of the war. and on the 15th of march, i as a rector, i visited the gather in the city council for our representatives of c demonstration of different institutions in d. c. t who are helping people in these difficult situation and

the sure the, the announcement of the international red cross organization that they will try to check the way previously the day before 160 cars managed to get to the police from edible and they wanted to check this way, in order to infusion to organize the human error, humanitarian corridors from the publisher to model poland for the transportation. and if a creation of the civilians actually decided to join this group of international red cross cars and a huge number of 4 private chorus of the citizens of my opal joined this way. and they were thousands of managed to get out of the city

using the suburban some, some roads that are not popular local. and we got to get a dance and we cross 5 for 6 chicken point. so for russians and we brought to bear dusk, we spent a night there. and then i started the way to patricia early in the morning on march 16th. then a loose reached. and we crossed about 15 chicken points of rations in the listen to the very interesting issues. if we have some connections to the military or ukraine or what i'm doing in my life, if i'm supporting the regiment of us or for the ideas on bendara or nets

is and they were, they saw my car that was hit by mine in front glass and the glass of the place of the driver, and with a smile on his face, he asked me that are my car's in trouble now. so his people that are not net is actually for what they've done to my city and to my my university. because my university is totally ruined. they should it, with a large caliber, my unfrozen machine, sender, with a garage systems, and i don't know what my university i have done to them. wow. in order to destroy because i don't oh, king, at, at, at your footage that you sent us of,

of your, your escape and with that ah windscreen. and that that was cracked by, by a on what, what, what you were telling us just before, tell us though about the people you've left behind the people who are still there, how do you ensure their safety as well? not, not only those who are escaping actually for the last almost 2 weeks. we tried to organize supplies, so of the food for my students left in the hostile and for we tried to organize some places in shelters for people in order to save their lives. but you've seen and you've told previously that them hide in the shelter. it's not a variant and multiple because russian pilots, so they threw the huge bombs on our huge shelter in drama. theater was

1000 to 500 people there. so i don't know how this people and how the soldiers who are shoot indeed, the regular neighborhoods with a regular houses, private houses and ma, distorted apartment houses 95014 story buildings. they shooting them with a people hiding in the corridors and in the bathrooms. and i can't even imagine how many people, the field actually and a, this is, this is a crime against humanity. and this is not a way to organize war because war also have rooms actually and a green foe to the geneva convention. and if for our soldiers stake russians, they are not cute by our soldiers. i don't know their prisoners of war

and he's not even allowed to refresh insights. that you know that you're bringing us mccula, tony, manga. thank you very much for telling us about that your escape and, and giving us more information about the situation there immediately. yeah, thank you. nato is currently sending more troops to its eastern border. the u. s. alone will soon have more than 100000 troops across all of europe. a presence not seen on the continent in almost 20 years. and it's not just on land american ships or underweight european waters, including the aircraft carrier, harry s truman, d w. steven beardsley was on board the ship in the mediterranean. he sent us this report, the constant wine of jet engines, day and night, aboard this carrier. the u. s. as harry s. truman lodges f. a 18 super hornets. like these daily to patrol nato's eastern flank for stray russian jets. there are

a few on the sky with nato partners and remain on station for hours under nato command. it's a level coordination the alliance has been practicing for decades to day with added urgency ah, below decks, the pressure is always high. now the chance of an encounter with russian aircraft added to it. yes, it's in the back of our mind, but i think that the level training we've gotten in our expectations relative to our rules of engagement is such that we're in a position to, to really deal with whatever comes with the truman is more than air power. it's accompanied by missile carrying destroyers, almost certainly a submarine, thousands of sailors worked to keep operations going. they've been at sea for months, and no one knows how long the deployment will last. carriers like the truman are classic symbol of u. s. and nato power projection. the ability to deliver military might almost that

will around the world for nato members. that's reassuring for the current conflict in ukraine, all this fire power still doesn't have much use. nato's focus instead has been preventing the war from widening. that's why the u. s. wants these deployments to be visible. it's wide invites reporters aboard. and it's why the navy secretary has come to the truman for a visit. i would argue that the situation is quite stable here in the mediterranean sea. we have russian vessels that are out here. the american vessels, we have french vessels, we have italian vessels, we have spanish vessels, and it's a piece of situation here, as long as the russians continued to be a. and so, and that's what we want them to do. a message amplified by truman's presence that a native not yet at war believes that can still deter one through strength. is to look at some other developments in the conflict. ukrainian president flooded me. soleski has accused rancho deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe in ukraine. he repeated his appeal for direct talks with

russian president vladimir putin to lensky said negotiations would not be pleasant or easy, but the necessary he also called on nestle to cut ties with russia in an address to an anti will protest. and this was capital burn. the swiss company is coming under pressure to suspend sales and russia, after ukraine's prime minister accused the food foam of helping to finance the killing of women and children. additional australia prime minister scott morrison has announced his government will sent more military assistance, including ammunition and body armor to ukraine. he says, australia will supply the country with 70000 tons of thermal coal to help keep power generate is operating at this critical moment thumb nike. the leaders of india and japan of cold for an immediate halts to violence in ukraine. japan's full milk is shita has urgent read remote to take a tougher line on russia's invasion after india abstained in. you went votes condemning its invasion,

but the joint statement fell short of criticizing moscow's actions. we will read what will be fine. this week was the 11th anniversary of the uprising that led to serious civil war. thousands protested in cities across the rebel held north boyd by the global outcry over the other russian invasion of ukraine. a express solidarity with the ukrainian people and demanded action against vladimir putin. it said the russian president used syria as a practice grout. but on his soldiers in ukraine running out of steam. because now moscow says it's recruiting, find his from syria to join the assault on ukrainian cities. moscow has spoken of bringing in thousands of syrian militia fighters with experience in up in combat. and alanna shaw's, ian. we're not afraid of this war and are ready and waiting for a marching orders. you know, those yards. a syrian militia leader delivering a warning to ukraine from a church in a bill. abdullah says he wants to give the ukrainians a lesson. they will never forget. no, judy, none. bureaus, yamaha,

700 orthodox christian fighters under his command. a militia that takes his orders from president, a sad, serious ruler, has equipped them with weapons and heavy equipment, including tanks. there, station here on the front line in it. lab series, last remaining rebels stronghold. the militia has close links with russia for russian state tv. the christian fight is let themselves be filmed in a convoy on every car. the said symbol of russia's invasion of ukraine. what have you like the head of the u. k. base syrian observatory for human rights says that while much is propaganda, his source is confirmed. the basic facts behind it to transport planes with fighters have already departed, syria, one beside a fully boom. they were already requested by russia. it will, some of them could already be in moscow or ukraine malady. they have urban combat experience and have taken part in military operations under russian supervision in syria. a daughter, ruthie. you'd ask any of you, sodium?

according to the observatory, 40000 fighters are ready to join putin's war and have registered to fight. 22000 have been accepted by russia so far. but whether they are really a certain of victory as they appear in the cremeans propaganda videos is questionable. me whom club would more of it? i'll in syria. they wanted to save their homes in them. but when they're fighting on foreign soil, he will they show the same motivation will do enough or will they just be cannon fodder in the end? what do i have to hold little a mommy? many a drawn to recruitment centers like this one out of sheer necessity hoping to secure a ticket to europe even if that bound for a war zone. and there's a lot of money on the line as this in raleigh, and as to wida told a japanese reporter at that hour, they say that i can get $7000.00 a month on the front line, 3000 for other positions. and i think that that after the a difficult choice for serious would be fighters, poverty at home, or war,

and even death in a foreign country. the russian invasion has devastated families and has been especially hot on children in ukraine. but for one group of kids who have fled the city of a day said about in the jewish festival of put him, offered a chance for little light relief from the horrors of war. concerns about those left behind aah! orphans and students from the ukrainian city of a debtor enjoy the festivities in berlin. they were evacuated by the orthodox jewish shabbat organization. soon after the war broke out battle and dash, or from the hebrew university in odessa, had just 24 hours to decide whether to flee daughter left her parents behind in her home city of cas on. i agree, this is anisa. i call my parents every day. they're living under occupation. now the care san region is completely occupied. oh,

club of always is. thank god, it's more or less quiet that the russian occupiers constantly shoot at residential buildings. ah, the 2 students are now safe. thanks. in part to this man, rabbi, yahoo, dot tycho from the shabba community helped organize the evacuation. ah, after 18 years of the jews were forced to flee from germany, it's a strong sign that we have a safe harbor here to day thought. of course, we can't do it alone. we need help from society. so like at the appearance celebrations this week with children to herself, in costumes like the german convo festival. a burling hotel is hosting the shabba community and the evacuees title and shove up community have evacuated, people from ukraine 3 times since a start of the war. for many, it's been a nightmarish journey with our spend waiting at the border. i'm the nuts my group

and that's why we have 2 more buses from a group of loan mothers and children who have arrived from her either because they're single mothers or because her husbands are away fighting by the men or yes . intrigues in the vacuum. ease a part of the lively jewish community of odessa, the port city on the black sea german soldiers tried to exterminate all jews, no desa during this 2nd world war. they failed for now, tie to once the people to forget about the current war. at least you pure him wish, singing, dancing, and good food. ah forgot her dasha, and the other students from odessa daily life now includes fearful gazing at their smartphones. awaking news from ukraine, more expensive, most of all we want to go back home. we miss our friends and family. we love ukraine very much, and our home towns but no one knows whether putin's war will soon

be over. the next important jewish holiday is coming up in full weeks. pass over. the festival celebrates the flight of these re lights from egypt and the liberation from slavery. sometimes the color is just a color. a tell a russian cosmonaut explains why he and his crew arrived at the international space station wearing the colors of the ukrainian flag. blue and yellow have come to signal solidarity with you. great. since the war began at the cosmo notes pushed back on speculation that they are siding against moscow, make it possible. every crew picks their suits or overalls on their own accord so that they all don't look the same. they look different. so 1st over, you know, it was our turn to pick the color. the truth is we had accumulated a lot of yellow material, so we needed to use it up to fuel is rover, enormous oil. that's why we had to wear yellow flights. it's yellow for seats for

slip on the computer. now did they accumulate all that yellow material? well, some, once you see a message of solidarity for ukrainian cosmo, it's uniforms. we asked expert keith cowan, what he made of it. well, as they say, where you stand up in a depends on where you sit, where you float. i been watching people coming in and out of space stations for decades. and normally they were blue. sometimes it's a different color, but for 3 guys to come out in a suit that looks like the ukranian flag. and in the middle of a war where their countries attacked that country. what a coincidence. although some folks may say, it looks like a depo video from the eighty's, but it depends on your perception. i guess. nobody is given a clear yes or no answer yet. that brings you up to date on all the news and developments in the war ukraine. you've been watching d. w. news live from berlin for more analysis and all the latest news had to our website w dot com. i'm ben fizzle,

ah, buildings and ruins masses on the run. ukraine is suffering from russia's war of aggression. and any one in russia who dare speak out against it is taking an enormous risk. ah, little shuttles, cor, i'm russian myself, e and what my own people are doing.
