every year, your other exports over 1000000 tons of plastic waste. is there another way? after all, the environment isn't to recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, welcome to focus on europe now in germany's capital berlin and around the world. people have been taking to the streets to demonstrate the outrage over russia's ongoing assault of the people of ukraine at the brandenburg gate, a sound of peace event appealed for an end to the bloodshed. over 12000000 euros in

donations were collected for the victims. oh oh, oh, i meanwhile moving video messages this time from christina at the heart of the suffering and uncertainty, chief as her country could literally be wiped off the map. like millions of other young men and women from this once flourishing country, there appears to be no future between the bombs and the bunkers. we have some shattering testimonies and cries, fell from ukraine from young people in her leave. her son, the v. ah. ready christina was born and raised in harkins 21 year old, had built a life there together with her partner. the war took them and so many others by surprise. i talk and it started seeing

a lot of homes in the morning as to why no way my day calls me and i feel like, oh my god, why my dad called me maybe it was stars. ha. and really what starts and christina and her partner fled, taking the train to leave. they left their home and their relatives behind and harker along with all their plans and dreams laid waste by prudence wore a young marketing expert. christina is not only worried about her own future, but about the future of her country. i just pray that when it will be larry, there will be no ukraine, or now, or mac. that's my biggest here i'd really built our country casa. i like very much. after arriving in the view,

she tried to focus on the positive it was the most hated. one 0, this weekend. i have a normal food and out my head and i said, kind of fun does take and in hike if you can do this. but the happiness was short lived, christina soon began to feel guilty and blamed herself for leaving her family in harkins. oh, so it was to push myself because i was why so if you give me an acquaintance center, christina photos of people in harkey of trying to keep themselves supplied with the bare necessities. christina has been in constant contact with her family and

friends. ah. ready the higher but i think about it all life in the morning. she said that they said they're very hollow bits. and hark is we 1st made contact with him just after the war started. he's an abbot soccer fan with munich or amsterdam. hardly any stadium was too far for him and his wife to toria during peace time. but then they became trapped in an air raid shelter in his hometown. ah, they're not only hitting military targets here, but regular apartment building as well. we can't even go out to get a breath of fresh air for them. he and his wife stayed in the cellar and central hark of together with their neighbors and their dogs and cats at once,

and we're hoping our partners will help us to stop these idiots. these enemies you up at the water here harkins has been under siege. many civilians were said to have been killed during the previous night. both of them. so we stay in the bomb shelter because so many saboteurs are at work in the laying booby traps, e and killing people in the street that they were mchuga. uri went out every day to try to scrape together food for his family and others. and the building fuel has also been in short supply. and hark of them, what is the other? the city is very big and people need feel for their cars to get to the supermarkets that are open with people wait in their cars for hours to get sun, but it's it. but that's necessary for survival here. that was, it was like yury is

a retail buyer for supermarkets. he showed us the empty shelves saying there was hardly any bread left nor fish, milk, semolina, or barley. a pallet of fresh eggs went to minutes. 3 days earlier, an apartment complex had been hid in this city alone, the death toll climbed over 150 before the war. hark, had a population of a 1000000 and a half. nobody knows how many remain. let us pray, leap, just driven to a spring to pick up water for the residence of our building. we they can't go out. was thrust is out of shots are being fired right now, but not here in this district, nor to what are you. yuri was trying to get his wife and relatives out of the city . the danger was too great for them to stay. at last, it looked like he'd found away. unless today, we're at the train station at us trying to evacuate. our families. have

a p o. were standing by the train hoping everything will work out. all right, but hopefully his wife victoria set out for the polish border without him is that we're at the station on the whole. everything fine we are alive. we were later informed that his wife had made it. uri stood on an harkins to help over 500 kilometers further south. and harrison katerina has also taken shelter. lambert today. it's my last interview. last talk i on the time right to my what friends, i love him because i didn't know reach message. which message can last 2 caterina's boyfriend enters, is from denmark. may have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years. now she's in a war zone and he's of

a 2000 kilometers away. it's really still, yasser cannot stop thinking about what's going on in your brain. what is going on with my girlfriend? just a few months ago, they celebrated christmas together. they began the new year with mutual plans. in march, we plan together. right now, do you have time now to my time the last time they saw each other was in late january when they said good bye and has had had a bad feeling as if he'd sensed hard times lay ahead. i remember this conflict as being more and more present in the news, applying maybe a mistake to let her go home at this point. he wishes he had been wrong, but anna is feeling has proven all too true. the evening before we had a she had to talk to her around that you're starting to get worried and they wanted

her to leave as fast as possible. so we had decided to plane tickets or 6 march. but then the following morning, she woke me with a match, ah, a picture of one of these clouds an explosion and said that it has begun. caterina's family has a small shop. during the 1st days of the war, they kept their neighbor supplied with groceries. but as the russian forces moved closer, even that got to be too dangerous. even the 100 may we did, laura, should us all come and take out of food. right. and then just i, her son was the 1st major ukrainian city to be occupied by russian forces. some residents are still venturing out into the streets to protest against the war. but not katerina, she's afraid to leave her building. the family still has enough provisions. the only go out to board up the doors and windows brazen in our own. c 2,

we have brazen in our own houses. now brazen and powerless. right now it's our shell layer asleep. you can see place for mom. little mine down for me and runs aside from was a fire. every moment. i'm scared that something will happen. sure. and i try not to show this too much to her bank and won't my wife no. no, that's otherwise. i've gotten to the end. you just trials line i wanna, i wanna say and wow, and that's the only place i am until they meet again. ah,

well, in russia itself, the propaganda war is in full swing as tens of thousands join a rally to mark the invasion of ukraine. or the message is the russian people are standing by their leader outside russia. only very few countries have given visible backing to ports in one is serbia. belgrade traditionally has close ties with russia and many serb see the russians as their brothers. so some are not protesting against the invasion, but demonstrating fear support for it. these serbia nationalists are staging a pro russian car rally in belgrade. there on russian president vladimir putin side were here because of russia wardweb that fight naziism 20 naziism was not exterminated in 1945. but if you have survived and must be destroyed,

they're convinced that hootin is doing just that fighting naziism and ukraine. the letter z adorns many cars here, the same as can be found on russian army vehicles. it stands for the phrase, for victory. like most serbians, the boyish era do lavish, rejects these nationalists and the war, even so he feels a strong connection to russia. and as long perceived nato as a threat, he was a teenager when his native belgrade was bombed during the course of a war. thus he wants that his well, i was 14 and an 8th grade with us. but instead of figuring out which high school to go to court, we were preoccupied with trying to survive the bombings responses we see those most . that presumably moment to this day, there are still ruins in central belgrade. a grim reminder of the war reduce rubbish, says the bombings destroyed more than bridges and residential buildings. they also undermined his trust in the west and its values. and he says many here feels

similarly, rushes influence in serbia, meanwhile, grew stronger over the years. putin is currently on almost every front page. many serbians view russians as their slavic brothers. russia is admired and few criticize it's war against ukraine. pharmacist, mother, that bill which i think this war has been inevitable for a long time, really at the west is hypocritical, especially western media that report on it. i remember what all leave it up with ozzy. that's a saga. is lanelle go on me till night. we are the largest balkan nation. we should feel the greatest responsibility or thought it, but we have not learned from our history. and that's awful thrash likely that one group with a long history of fighting for civil and human rights are the women in black. but few joined their protest against the war in ukraine. the activists said the low

turnout was sobering. they believe it was linked to the fact that many serbians long for a strong leader rather than a true democracy. what is the del you said, be hulu, do serbians like russia or putins only will attest? i also what they like are authoritarian government guessing that has nothing to do with russia per se 0 not long ago. german foreign minister on alina burbock visited serbian president, alexander butch. the meeting was tense as roaches known for his close ties to boot him, since the war broke out, boucher ch has attempted a political balancing act approving a un resolution condemning the russian invasion, yet refusing to carry western sanctions against the country. msm will trigger me, this is what are we supposed to distance ourselves from me? almost. in what sense are we connected to the conflict in ukraine? what did serbia do wrong cycle? so we were, serbia, is not talking about anyone. not bringing up any names. there was no love or hate

when it comes to us. we only respect international law, and these are not an overall president boots, which is currently campaigning to be reelected in april. and polls suggest he and his party are set to win. most serbians share his view on the ukraine war in tosh. my dad park in central belgrade this monument commemorates the children killed during nato attacks on the city. memories of that old war are still alive. miss, that'd be serbia, russia. we're not in this war english, but the u. s. england. france, they need to recognize how it came to this. yes. and brought this law. i'm against every war anyway. i was against the cause of a war and against the one before that, flocking that of a i'm against interventions and opposed using force against independence state is it? but now boy shall reduce rubbish. and his friends say the ukraine war has pushed them to reassess their long held loyalty to russia and critical opinion of nato in

the west. they feel isolated and wonder where that leaves them and their country, serbia. miss mung. neil louis that we've always been caught in the middle is valid said, and that's where we are again now. i'm not sure what difficulties we would encounter if we were to go along with sanctions against russia. that got to be a little us and we just cannot take that road right now on the da name of our tires with rush are too strong, economically speaking. and there's also an element of fear. feel the economic ski relative. molly's data. their biggest hope is that the war in ukraine will end soon and that hope is shared by many russians. tens of thousands have already left their homeland said the conflict began. and indeed amy gray russians have austin, sought refuge in paris in the upheaval that followed the russian revolution in 1917 and in soviet times. and in recent weeks,

many have expressed their dismay over the war. among the most outspoken is gallia, our command, she's investigated issues like electoral fraud and politically motivated violence. now she's focusing on developments in russia itself. her goal to oust bruton from power her weapon information. the ukranian national anthem at the plaster ladder pu bleak in the center of paris. gallia ackerman is showing her solidarity. she was born in russia, but as live in exile and france for more than 30 years. she was popular among ukrainians because they know she has been warning about putin for a very long time since long before the war exec them. this is exactly the new attempt to stifle not only to liquidate ukrainians, but also to extinguish the ukrainian culture. n ackerman began her political activism from her paras exile. last year she found a desk ho,

see an online publication by well known russian exiles and russia, experts. their articles describe how potent has grown increasingly authoritarian over the years how has extended his influence and how his toyed with his foreign counterparts bundle. this and there are some yell for years, both in france and germany. and there has been a strong pro russian sentiment, ugly yearbook and joe, you. there have been many real agents of influence, and many people who have simply acted in good faith. the one for who have believed wanted to believe that russia would be a good partner survey on board, back to now, i don't don't ciboney, but all their well meaning words have made a slow to recognize the extreme danger represented by the russian regime and oshea, clerk a puzzled negation with ruth as close see as attracted a large audience up to 150000 readers. click on the analyses and opinion pieces, some of them in russia. the fact that the ukraine invasion is turning out

differently than potent imagined gives ackerman hope. if a cracky looking men mud, i think he might even be overthrown because he has been a great military failure unconditionally death. the parisian russian exiles are using the power of words to lend support. at an event in paris theater, they read letters by imprison russian opposition liter alexson of albany, about putin and the oligarchy. roman abramoff, which owner of the british football club. chelsea on board a very expensive plane, hooton's wallet, abramoff, which is flying to a nato country. what audacity and everyone's happy put in an abram of its steel money from the budget and invest it in the west. behind the camera is donati vista, who comes from ukraine, said that if there are something that order, i am delighted, with golly, is commitment to her right against putin for merck. a sure it's very, very near to my heart. for, for the war earth i have rush,

gallia ackerman fled the communist dictatorship of the soviet union for paris. she had hoped for a different future for russia, but potent has returned her former homeland to a dictatorship. she says, while ukraine has experienced a different development for decor union, i am ukrainian by adoption. so i have always felt morally and intellectually more at home there than america. and especially in putins, russia, ackerman, and desk. lucille determined to work even harder in to be a voice of the russian opposition and of ukrainians in this war to hungary. now where this giant t v truck is criss crossing the country, it's election time and a group called parties and wants to make sure that there is at least some plurality and diversity in the political discourse. for the 1st time in over

a decade and opposition coalition could challenge authoritarian prime minister, fixed to all bound for power. but albany is omnipresent. after all, he has a strangle hold on state media. and here to prudence. war is top of the agenda. the mobile tv studio partisan hits the road today. they're heading north to the small town of t, the weaver, roche. after setting up filmmaker and activists, martin gloria sh, is ready to receive his 1st get. his goal is to inform as many as possible about the elections. we are doing the show, especially in the countryside, because we are mostly located in budapest, in the capital, to have more access to people who are living in immoral areas of the country in rural hungry. most people vote for the ruling to dance party and most watch a pro government tv channel. martin glee youtube channel is financed through private donations. he produces critical content also because he says ernest

political debate is lacking in hungary media escape. just you have to imagine that today on this particular day, this was the 1st time in 4 years time than the opposition candidate of prime minister had 5 minutes on air. but over the past weeks, both prime minister victor or band and his challenge of peter my keys, i have adjusted their campaign focus to reflect rushes invasion in ukraine. nissan marquise i is criticizing the pro russia position or been took for years, or one is the one who supported put in state, reduced reading pro russia propaganda still old old, but also approved european banning of russia today and would think those. but here are state media and private viewed us media is still supporting, put in and condemning the ukraine. we would have liked to put this criticism to our vans he does party. but despite numerous requests, we received no response from party headquarters in budapest,

a national day in mid march, hundreds of thousands came from across hungry. here to putins. war was in the forefront of people's minds as they waited to see or by lot of shambrika. we don't think this war just happened. there's a background to it. everything has led up to this. what y'all's or is it the hillary duck? what act recall on alcohol in the world and especially the western media have double standards. all blog lockheed, although grew the seal every day that you can understand the ukrainians. but you also have to understand the russian and some bottled i'm shells would run over them bottled on your chin. i or no one is really talking about the fact that it was actually america that ignited aspire. chickasha, nacken kish, also ahmed. equal. and that they did it on purpose and i'll make sure shank and i'm gonna keep. then victor or bon made his appearance like most independent media. we were given a seat far away from the podium. that state was barely visible to the naked eye. but his rhetoric about hungary role in the ukraine more came across all the more

sharply fog. russia has russian interests. movie ukraine is looking after ukrainian interests. neither the u. s. nor brussels will sink with the mind of a hungarian folk that will not feel with the heart of a hungarian. he's while you are see that we must advance our interests ourselves. soberly and courageously khaki for shouting he got on his bottle. the ukraine more has become a political football in hungary election campaign. real political debate is lacking . instead there's mainly mudslinging between incumbent prime minister robin and his challenger. mater kitley, a bottle of all alabaster though yours on a political left has lost its senses. ish, hold, gordo, shot. we want to sleep, walk us into a war. it's cad yet lamb. the left is want to send hungarian soldiers, little hungarian weapons to the front of the world, all my dog caught up. we won't allow that to happen. o clock through daniel francois as nam full. you come again,

get me before he was lying about us wanting to bring in my rent, still hungry. now he's lying about us and wanting to set the kids to die in ukraine . it's disgust school disgusting and. and this is accusations, falsehoods, provocations for martin glitch. these are incentive enough to take a stand and reveal the urgent need for independent reporting. during the selection campaign, i would be able to do my work in a better way. east governments related people void accept mainly tasha. these kind of a bubble of each day. artificially created around the government related voters because it's not just the entire society, but especially those voters. and so martin, glean and his mobile tv studio head back on the road. they plan many more broadcasts between now and election day. clearly the opposition is still got

a lot of work to do if it's going to push or been hard in april. so vote and for now that was all of this additional folks on europe to come back next time. brown until the end. bye bye. and just ah ah, ah, ah, with

who a to the point. strong opinions say clear position, we say international perspectives. no. and inside to proteins, war in ukraine, a civilian casualties. mount nato is doing all it can to avoid being drawn into the fighting. you members are divided over how far to go on to the point where ask him, who can help you crane men to the point it delivered to ukraine. village
