ah, ah ah, this is news line from berlin on the break. ukraine appeals to russia to allow humanitarian supplies into money present voluntary zalinski says there is nothing left of the city and calls for a face to face meeting with flattery. also coming up more jail time for prudent critic alexi in of only a russian port sentences the jailed opposition leader to 9 more years in prison and bella, luce has played a key role as a staging post for a lot of war on ukraine. they also sent troops to fight. we talked to belushi

bell of russians, exiled opposition leader. ah, hi everyone, i'm layla, iraq. it's good to have you long. the ukrainian army says its repelled russian forces from a strategically important suburb of the capital. keith, the defense ministry says a battle in the sub of in the suburb rather of mockery, prevented russia from surrounding the capital from the northwest. while the satellite image that you see right here shows damaged and burning buildings in air pin another northwestern keep suburb, which was one of the 1st to be attacked by russian forces and images from murder. you will give some heavy indication of the heavy fighting going on there. the bomb

to my you pull theater surrounded by burning buildings from artillery shelling you see right here. most of the buildings being attacked appear to be residential or civilian targets. for meanwhile, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says he is willing to discuss a commitment from ukraine not to seek nato membership, but he wants a one on one meeting with russian president vladimir putin. and he says, the ukrainian people will get their say in a referendum on any piece terms in the occupied ukrainian city of care, san residence, gather in defiance of the russian invaders, the response, stun, grenades, and gunfire, hosing crowds to flee. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski condemned the incident in his speech to the nation 0 bully. yet when his lease slaves sent by russia have never seen so many free people

in the squares and streets. they have never seen thousands of people who are not afraid of them either of slaves with weapons in their hands or slaves perceive freedom as savagery as danger. they are scared. number's foot. well no. but a luck crushes military is not only attacking civilians in areas. it occupies a bombing in a shopping morling cave and a relentless bombardment of the receipt city of mario full have caused outrage in ukraine and abroad. but it has not weakened ukrainian resolve. the president closed his speech with an appeal globule. yet don't go to save our people, fight body, fight and holding it double might drive these slaves out, drive the occupies out so that ukraine louis law so that all of us live with it

is and they, free and peaceful. speaking later to the press, zalinski said, reaching a peace deal with russia, my tween ukraine holding maggie in its bid for nato membership. a, you know, her paw. we're the compromise. it is a compromise for every one for the west, which doesn't know what it wants to do with us in the nato issue, low for ukraine, which wants security guarantees. and for russia, which does not want to let nato expand further and says that it has had such agreements with nato countries with the worst. and so a compromise must be found on this because this will end the war, woolly vicki, the more having suffered through war ukrainians and more than ever desperate for some resolve and an end to the fighting a sticker to ukraine now did have a correspondent, funny for shar is in levine, a funny, we're getting reports of fierce fighting, taking place in the suburb of a key. what are you hearing?

your siding, not only there, but in many parts of the country, including mar, you pull the 2 bombardments right now. as we're speaking. how the shelling in that town. it's been the focus of the past couple of days if actually not even weeks from the start of the school. because at this point, 4 weeks into the school, it's been almost reduced to rubble. but also as fighting in parts of q fighting in parts of how to song and the eastern a parts of ukraine as well. now we come to talk about this is an advancement actually of russian forces because these nuclear advancement, in terms of them seizing more territory or any territory. at this point, what we see unfold on the ground is an intensifying or interest vacation of what we have simply i'll during the past weeks already. that means arbitrary bombardments are that unfortunately, also hit residential, a part of ukraine, something that russia keeps denying that even interested in or that they,

i had ever targeted. but this is a, this is the information we have right now. so instead of a respite or any relief via to gap people out of the line, the front line, we see more shelling, an impossibility at this point to help people who are trapped in the cities and who try to make it out so desperately. well, funny as the fighting readers on a present. so lensky says he is now prepared to make a major concession and give up a nato aspirations in return for peace. but it's very difficult to see how we can reach a diplomatic solution with the kremlin at this stage. it is also because it's not for the 1st time the president zalinski basically said we are going to ukraine, is going to renounce and, and not become a nature member at least not for now. however, this is only just one of the many demands that russia has. i mean, they started what they call this full scale military operation on the grounds,

on the allegations that there is a genocide being carried out by ukraine against russia and russia to russian speaking. people in ukraine also, they said they want to demilitarized and di nazi fi this country. so by zalinski saying, the country is going to. c are basically renowned a membership at nato. nobody here actually speaking to today says the war is going to be over or even stop immediately at all. what people hear hope here on the ground that mediation can take place via other countries. in fact, zalinski himself as the address the italian parliament today via video link, as he did so often already during this war. during the past couple of weeks, he was asking the poor pope frances to mediate in the situation. now that tells you a lot that the landscape himself is not turning due to the holy spirit, if you like, because the politics and the political negotiations so far, at least didn't, didn't really bring any results as well. to conclude

a dire warning from the u. s. president, today, who cautions that he believes russia could potentially use chemical or biological weapons in ukraine. what do ukrainians make of this stark warning? it's not for the 1st time that they heard about these warnings from the west, even though this time it was much harsher and more stronger than before. however, people hear some of them say it's just a bluff. he's not going to go that far. he that he's president put in while again, others say, nobody thought or so many people here didn't think that russia is going to start of all rachel wager war against the ukraine on february 24th. and begin with this full scale invasion. so mixed reactions to that about bottom line is that people here really do not want to even think about what else is to come in a worse or taught worse. and even further, what they're really hoping for that this is going to end somehow in

a couple of weeks, at least through the european union, stepping out by, for example, a closing that employed the from the energy sector in russia, or coming up with more sanctions. also are, while a president biden of, of you asked is about to visit europe this week. so people actually hoping that is going to be an end to the small very soon. and don't want to even think about what else may come. what else russia may, may, may, may do against their country. they say, did have these honey for shar, reporting from levine, ukraine. honey, thank you. jailed russian opposition leader election of army has been sentenced to 9 more years in prison. after court found him guilty on charges of large scale fraud, police briefly detained. mister navarro, these lawyers immediately after the hearing. listen of all these already serving a 2 and a half year sentence at a prison camp east of moscow for a legit parole violations. he is

a vocal critic of russia's president vladimir putin was arrested last year after surviving a poison attack, which he blames on the kremlin mister of only recently called on people to protest against russia's invasion of ukraine. like to welcome now, frank schreiber. he is a member of the german bonus sac for the governing social democrats and sits on the parties a committee on human rights and humanitarian aid. sir, thank you so much for taking the time to take our questions. i'd like to get your reaction 1st and mr. like scene of only will now have to serve on top of all these other sentences, another 9 year sentence in a maximum security prison. would you make that? so it's a totally absurd decision about judgement. and as you know, we have a lot of court decisions from the european human rights call to let me talk about the free. there's no evidence to prove mental. sure. and there's absolutely no

reason to put it for 9 years to prison. and now i want to see if we can focus a little bit on, on the war that's going on in ukraine. the west has collectively hit russia with very tough sanctions. how are these punitive measures helping ordinary russians and those who oppose and are critical of president putin? i don't know. i don't know how we can help people in the, in the russia assuming society. we tried to do everything in the last years to build a bridge towards russia to let them as a member of the council of europe. although they're already break all the rules and act and against all the values. and now it's really a very, very difficult situation for all of the people in russia. we just can offer a kind of asylum if they want to leave the country. we should give them the opportunity to work from, from outside and try to try their best. but i'm very concerned about the situation

in russia as well. i'd like to talk a little bit more about that because as you know, many russians who oppose mr. partner have already left or are trying to leave their homeland russia. will there be a way, if i understand you correctly, will there be a legal way for them to maybe see, you know, find a way to you and apply for political asylum here? so it will be like this. we had a lot of a lot of items because already in the last, just sometimes there were decisions. if not, we'll give them a sell him in germany as an example. but for sure, i'm very sure that we will have just decisions now to allow them to, to stay in germany. and we know that already 250000 people, if the country and i expect that we can get to kind of human rights, journalist, asylum, community in berlin, maybe in london and paris, and as well. now the devastation unfolding in ukraine touches, of course,

many people across the world. and especially also here in germany where a lot of people have a significant portion have ties with either ukraine or russia. and now we've been getting reports of harassment, of people perceive to be of russian descent. i'd like to get your reaction on that . we tried to do everything to convert done, took to make sure that at the end it's not a decision by any people were in germany or another european countries. but for sure, we have to question people because we know that put in, try to do everything parameters, let's say, suppose to stop in russia, but outside as well. so we will have a lot of discussions with them if they're really wants to be part of the democracy . but now it's a situation where we have to come down the situation and we have to put them in the security situation. and father is member of the german when the start for the governing social democrats and sits on the parties committee on human rights and

humanitarian aid. thank you for taking your questions. thank you. speculation continues to grow that bella bruce will commit troops to russia's war against ukraine. the country has already allowed moscow to use it as a military base and place it's weapons there. the bell, russian leader, alexander, alexander lucas. franco said the country would not get involved in any military action, but he may not have a choice. the 2 leaders demonstrating how close they have become. russia is vladimir putin usually keeps his guests at more than arms language, but not this one. bell overseas, alexander location co has become essential to his military operation law even before he invaded ukraine. at the beginning of february,

the 2 countries held joint military exercises. the drills were a show of strength and more proof to the outside world. that bela ruth had become a russian satellite after russia invaded ukraine, beller, ruth even changed its constitution to reverse its no nuclear status. ah, that means all russian weapons, including nuclear, are allowed on belo, rossi, and soil cushing, co has so far, refused to commit his forces. we will to aid putin's war. the result with mr. bra, are not going to get involved in the operation that russia is conducting. in ukraine, got lucille, but i would, most importantly, i'm telling you as a military serviceman, there is no need for it up when your christmas. oh,

that surprised many but that doesn't appear to be the appetite for russia's war, even among former soldiers who've left bella. ruth, and are now fighting with ukrainian forces at only $45000.00 active members. the beller will see an army is tiny compared to rushes. it appears though that moscow needs reinforcements. after losing an estimated $6000.00 troops since its invasion of ukraine. russia is already using palo, bruce is a military base for its war to have access to its army as well. could help moscow in its campaign against the ukrainian capital keith and the city of live eve was go . belarus may be resisting such a move, but if poaching decides he needs even more from his neighbor caching cable,

find it hard to say no room while the ball russian present. look, as franco says, says his country will not join the war in ukraine. earlier d, w spoke to exiled opposition, leaders of atlanta cigna sky and asked her whether she believed them. we have to say that bill is, is already involved in the war from the very 1st day. i have a question allowed russian troops to use our tourette's router, boom, ukraine. so the fact to us is already enrolled and the bill is a cool rest of this war. however, there was a huge position to walk among would regular cents a month, supporters of changes and even the meal for it. as we know that there's an army and refuses to go to crane despite pressure and threats to weeks ago, bureau, son, army was already supposed to join russians rooms. but you know, something went wrong. and it says that very day of this war,

we have been working with officers with mom so, so does explaining why bill shouldn't be involved in this, in this war with ukraine. and they also explain what to do in case if so this will be forced to cross the border how to surrender the korean meal train. and i really don't know if for invasion or bureau sent troops, it happens. but all the bill ruin, cbre says, doing everything possible to prevent it while the war and ukraine has increased concerns and finland about the future of their security. the country shares a 1300 kilometer border with russia. and while relations with moscow have been amicable in recent decades, the invasion of a sovereign nation is making many think again to w correspondent, terry schultz is in finland and filed this report. the kremlin has crossed many lines in past weeks. fins are increasingly concerned about this one, there,

1300 kilometer border with russia at the volley. my checkpoint. vigilance is the norm that captain, you see beckle us as a part from a small number of people seeking refuge in finland. there's been no other impact from the war yet. of course, we are prepared and we are preparing also for many kind of situation. shins have always lived with some degree of uncertainty sharing this long border with russia. but president vladimir putin's unprovoked attack on a sovereign neighbor has forced them to reassess how far do the crumbling territorial ambitions go? where do they stop finland's delicate geostrategic balance? a civil relationship with moscow plus a well equipped, highly trained military has been shaken suddenly and for the 1st time, a majority of fins believe they need nato. the turn about is a reaction to russia's aggression, says defense minister aunty guy,

cornyn. people have thought that we would live in a pierce time in 20 twenties, but now we have factored i wore in the middle of europe. mitchell far from finland . russia's assault has re ignited painful memories of the soviet invasion of finland in world war 2. just like its attack on ukraine back then, moscow said it was responding to provocation fins maintained their independence at huge cost. fighting alone, the experience led the country to become self reliant for its national security. with each adult trained to play a specific role in any emergency from natural disasters to weather events, to war. themes are not as scared as such, but they are aware, reservist training and public self defense courses have seen a huge jumping enrollment 1st 2 weeks. 250 new member has we haven't seen anything like that before. people want to survive. and now it's time to time to

learn things a movie fast. next month, the finish government will update its national security assessment and is widely expected to take a stance on nato membership. the kremlin has warned helsinki that joining the alliance would bring serious consequences. hybrid threat expert, hannah smith says there are already signs of russian attempts to stir up conflict with. we have seen, for example, that there is now both in sweden and finland. a twitter from embassy has come to ask any russian citizens to report to the embassies any wrong doing against them. given this environment, henry von in a parliamentary advisor says nieto is a necessity. if we don't join in, we have to find the reasoning. why sort of, what is the backbone for our security in the future as well? we are, are close international defense, cobra should be enough, will be, you'll be enough. we don't know, but knowing their own history and seeing ukraine's bleak future,

most fins are now no longer willing to risk their own outside nato. some other news now tesla has opened its new car factory just outside berlin and handed over the 1st cars to customers. the company's founder, elan mosque, is presiding over the opening ceremony. 2 years after construction began, shazlaw schultz is also attending the launch of the factory. the 1st of its kind in your, ah, this was a forest to just 2 years ago. but it was cleared to make way for a massive construction site. europe's largest factory for electric cars was built on 3 square kilometers of land just outside berlin. tesla invested billions of euro's into the project. construction has been quick by german standards, but with some hitches, the factory was built at the company's own risk without waiting for a final building permit environmental protest force tesla changed plans. a dispute

remains about the factories, water supplies. all of these were a source of frustration for tesla. i think that could be a proceed that will be better. construction was supposed to be completed in summer 2021. but it took until march this year for that final building permit to arrive, spread out over $23000.00 documents. dig any meals before i notice of approval for this project has been handed over to tesla today. so you like even val. now it can get started, $500000.00 cars can be built here per year with $12000.00 employees. once everything is fully operational, the factory could help europe take a significant step away from petroleum and throws down the gauntlet to other car makers to go electric. thousands of ukrainians fleeing the war are arriving in berlin every day. but tens of thousands of people with you,

either ukrainian passports or family ties already live and work here in the german capital photographer, victoria source and ski is one of them. she has long documented traditional village life in rural ukraine with her camera born and multiple. she is struggling to keep in touch with relative still in the besieged city. its been days since victoria sore, a chin ski heard that some of her relatives were stuck in mar, you pole, and a shelter after their home was destroyed. they don't know if they're still alive and sir yet. so. i mean, we just hope that somehow they managed to survive in this incredibly horrible situation. and because they have no electricity, no water, no food victorious or a chance he has been living and working in berlin as a photographer. since 2013 her family left. what was then still the soviet union

when she was 11, but her work often recalls memories of ukraine. for her decade long project lands of no return. she chronicled the gradual disappearance of traditional ukrainian villages and their people. her grandparents lived in one such village near key, if she remembers her happy visits there as a little girl i want to commemorates the last remains. now, it'll probably be in even in much worse conditions. of course, sir, and since he has exhibited work at berlin's art, east gallery, which specializes in art from ukraine galleries, cornelia schmidt, myra, and her business partner, have started a foundation to support ukrainian artists and angelina and santa. we wanted to start working right away to help the artists so they could go on expressing themselves and working like if they can, there are some artist to say they're no longer able to right now. i think that they

simply don't have the energy or the strength come. this berlin restaurant odessa mama serves ukrainian cuisine owners, natalia and alexander goldie. rather have been donating food to ukrainian refugees and to volunteers victorious or a chance. he also wants to help with her art. i would like to look for the graph, how the country will come out from this crisis, how it will be rebuilt again, hopes for peace, but for now looks like distant dream. you're watching the w news. these are the headlines this our present villamor. zalinski is calling for face to face talks with russia's vladimir putin to end the invasion of ukraine. but mister zalesky says any peace terms will have to be put to the ukrainian people in a referendum and a russian court has found jailed kremlin critic alexis valley guilty of new charges
