in the occupied ukrainian city of care san residence gather in defiance. the russian invaders the response stung grenades and gunfire, hosing crowds to flee ukraine's president flooded me as the lensky condemned the incident in a speech to the nation. terribly yet was louise. 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. slaves perceive freedom as savagery as danger. they are scared, yet no mistake will know. but a luck, rushes 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 leopard at dongle to save our people, fight body, fight, and hell we do, 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 ne, free and peaceful speaking later to the press, the lansky said, reaching a piece deal with russia might mean ukraine holding maggie in its bid for nato membership. a, you know, her paw were ve compromised. it is a compromise for everyone for the west, which doesn't know what it wants to do with us in the ne, to wish you know, 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 west. and so a compromise must be found on this because this will end, the war will leave the key,

the more having suffered through wall ukrainians and more than ever desperate for some resolve and an end to the fighting. our next gas is yara love your kitchen. he's a member of the ukrainian parliament. thank you for taking the time to speak to d w. news. i want to start by asking you about ukrainian reek troops re taking the keys, suburb of keith. how significant is this military victory for your country? it's very necessary for us to control and some are all i get the tone because i'm, for example, even of the one. it's a big district in capital, and i can see from my windows i smoke or fighting might be 30 or 40 kilometers and he has

a key. so yes, our military, our army, give us disability to be more safety. not safe in general, because only today my district was bombing by russia using air craft and our equipment and not less than 2 people was died after these attack. so yes, our weak terinio has a key if i were in necessary for, for us because we can show it to our society to work well. what, what do we fighting? can we can, we can, but really with to you need to have from our western partners. we need no fly zone on do ukraine. we plan more strong sanction

and i can only say thanks to my german government who really walk on this topic with leaks. but still today from the beginning of 4 to you today with 117 children killed more than 1055, shield and wall. and day by day, this quantity gum large and more become latch and more. every day we need help, every day we need to refund because yes, we will give them a week to re. but on not only from us on the band, leech results will be all russia. you will killed our people,

or we will have the ability to stop or in liens in waiters. when you talk about the help that you're hoping to receive from western eyes, particularly nato and the you. what more are you expecting? are you disappointed by what has been offered so far? no, i'm really sink for what we have so far. but to you losing time and losing lives of ukrainian people because of our western boston. don't want to close the sky. yes, i can understand that. to team can use it to me, nuclear tactic. we bun, but steal russian troops control and not the lease went to nuclear power plant in ukraine, and they can destroy these plans day by day. and we will have

the same problem us using nuclear weapons. so it's not only you grain and interest to stop this war, and i really think for western leaders and 1st of all of western societies, who are we feel a strong help from your site, but still it's not enough to stop in, for example, some western company for example, german company matter or still working in russia, still paying taxes in russia. so give money to russia, and on this money, russia buying call create new ballots, new bombs, which will be used against b. c cur society can ukrainians because russia, you're not only are not only soldiers in mari with, for example,

not less than 2 and half 1000 people was killed and many steel under marines. and we tried to save them, but to you it's when we are talking now on being my oh boy, uh huh. shoot me an hour you brain and see on that one been so yes, we feels this out. we really appreciate for your help, but it's not enough to still you'd like to see more. we understand yours live your chit chat, a member of the ukrainian parliament. thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. good for green jail ration opposition leader. i like saying that only has been sentenced to 9 more years in prison after a court found him guilty on charges of large scale fraud involved. he was already serving a 2 and a half years sentence for alleged parole violations. he has been

a vocal critic of russian president vladimir putin, and there are substantial evidence that the kremlin was responsible for poisoning him in 2020 an incident that nearly killed him after recovering in berlin. i've only was arrested upon his return to russia. his team has been posting his messages, calling on the russian people to protest their country's invasion of ukraine. and bell ruse has allowed russia to invade ukraine from within its own borders. the ball a russian leader, alexander lucas jenko, had said the country would not get involved in any military action, but he may not have a choice with 2 leaders demonstrating how close they have become. russia is vladimir putin usually keeps his guests set more than arms, language cooper, but not this one. bella bruce is alexander lucas. jenko 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 bella roost had become a russian satellite. off to russia invaded ukraine, bella rose even changed its constitution to reverse it. no nuclear status. ah, that means oh, russian weapons including nuclear, are allowed on belo, rosie and soil. but okay, jenko has so far, refused to commit his forces. we were to aid putins was the was up with mr. brown, you're not going to get involved in the operation that russia is conducting in ukraine. gertrude, i see up are awarded. most importantly. so i'm telling you as

a military serviceman, there is no need for it when your credit. 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 bruce and are now fighting with ukrainian forces. i, tony, full, she 5000 active members. the belly, mercy and ami 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 will belarus may be resisting such

a move. but if purch and decides he needs even more from his neighbor caching cable, find it hard to say no room earlier did ominous folk to exalt opposition leaders of atlanta, the kind of sky and asked her whether she believed lucas shanker. insistence the baller roost will not, and its own troops into ukraine. we have to say that bill 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 press of this war. however, there was a huge, a 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, it refuses to go to crane despite pressure and threats to weeks ago, bureau, son, army was already supposed to join russian troops. 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 explain and 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 cranium meal trend. and i really don't know if for invasion or burleson troops, it happens, but all the bill ruin. cbre says, doing everything possible to prevent it. european sce group security under scrutiny and finland, which shares a 1300 kilometer border with russia maybe reconsidering as from tragedy amid its neighbors invasion of ukraine. more fins than ever before, support joining nato after the attack, dw correspondent her shoulder was in the country and sent us 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, auntie chi gonan. be able,

have thought that we would leave in a pierce time in 20 twenties. but now we have practically 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. finns 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 jump in enrollment. first 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 a embassy has come to ask any russian citizens to report to the embassies any wrong doing against them. given this environment, henry vaughan in parliamentary adviser 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, would be you 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 dw correspondent harry shoulds joins us now from brothels. terry, we saw in that report there at the move towards more fens wanting to join the alliance. but what have nato members been saying about the possibility of finland joining the alliance? right. that's the other side of it. and finland won't know for sure unless and until it asks to join nato, whether it would be ushered in. but you know, other than this very long border, which may give some countries cause for a bit of an alarm, but other nato members also have borders with russia. i mean, really what's not to love about finland and it's, and it's military, it's a very wealthy country. it is very, very well equipped, you know, it's been prepared to be self reliant now for decades. so it's bought everything it needs to be able to do that. it has a very highly trained military. it still has conscription, so there are

a lot of members in the, in the armed forces. and one other thing about finland is it's willingness to fight to defend its independence. in a survey of european countries, it came in highest among those respondents who said that if they were called upon to fight for their country, they would show up. and that's not true in every country. there's 11 interesting quote i can share from a former supreme allied commander james to read us. and he said that he told finland, you know, if you want to join nato, you tell me on a wednesday and i'll have you in by friday. so that should be some reassurance for helsinki. a welcoming message there. indeed, now the kremlin has warned of serious consequences. terry, if finland were to join nato, we heard that when sweden finland attended a nato meeting shortly after the invasion of ukraine. the kremlin was not pleased about this, but it seems that they've sort of pushed these 2 countries towards nato. now, is this threat having any kind of impact on how finland maybe looking at nato membership? your right,

that thread has even been repeated just in the past. few days and especially now that both finland and sweden are in invited to nato to all ukraine meetings. that's certainly something that isn't sitting well in the kremlin. and this used to be the main reason that finland wasn't joining. it used to say that, you know, it could be provocative to join the alliance, and that may not be the best thing for its security. now that, that russia invaded ukraine, a peaceful neighbor, everything's changed. and i think finland has seen that staying out of nato is no guarantee that you want to be attacked. so that is really why we've seen this very, very dramatic change in finished public opinion. terry and your report, you talked about the soviet invasion of finland. are there any territorial claims now with regard to russia and finland? that certainly is something that almost everyone i spoke with in finland reminded me of the winter war $939.00 being invaded once and having to fight by themselves. and i think that this now, you know,

finland is not looking at at the situation that way anymore and that it won't hold up the country if it wants to join. russia has not yet shown any signs that it would. it would make territorial claims on finland, but the country is very worried that moscow could try to disturb it in other ways. as i mentioned in my report, there are cyber attacks. there are, you know, threats to protect the russian speaking population in finland. so it may not just be territorial claims that finland is worried about, and it believes that nato perhaps can help it defend itself in other ways than simply of physical invasion. d. w correspondent terry shaw. thank you very much. terry. rescue teams and china are searching for survivors. after a passenger jack crashed in a remote mountainous area in the south of the country, but hopes of finding any one alive or fading fast. the china eastern airlines plane
