every one knows. it will take more than solidarity to bring europe's worst crisis since world war 2. to an end. are brussels bureau chief is standing by for us, alexander, phenomenal, covering the story. good morning, alexandra. we heard a bid there, but tell us more about the concrete actions that came out of these summits and brussels said it was really remarkable that all the 3 summits took place here in brussels yesterday. and some reports are already speaking about a historic day in brussels. with the you as president are participating in the regular meeting of for the you, a leaders for the very 1st time. and we, so some of some decisions with nato leaders are approving a massive reinforcement of nato forces on the eastern flank and promising to deliver more weapons to ukraine. warning russia against the use of chemical or

biological weapons. and promising severe consequences in that case than we saw a strong statement from the g 7. and of course, the leader is coming together with president biden and condemning crush us war crime scene ukraine. however, when we really speak about concrete outcome that was rather limited, and when we see that the russian bombardments of ukraine cities and villages is still going on, that was not enough from the ukraine perspective. i would say, indeed, alexander, we heard from the ukranian president zalinski in a speech as well, thanking the west allies for support. but also some pointed words criticizing you. member states in particular, let's listen to what he said with this to him. all the saudi. you've applied sanctions and we're grateful that we've been, these are powerful steps could be, but there was

a little late we civil war because of the was preventive. russia would not have gone to war. no one knows for sure. but at least there was a chess. so alexandra present the landscape essentially saying there you european union member states, our allies have essentially enabled president wooten in this war and leading to this war. how did that go down in brussels? well, i can imagine that it didn't go down well because no one wants to be criticizing that way. but of course, and as some leaders our word that they could have acted turn quicker when we speak about the countries or the baltic countries, for example, or poland. and or they were named specifically by the ukranian president. he said that they stand with ukraine. he also addressed other european members such as germany, for example, and he said, well, maybe a little later for so he was very specific in his message and he of course, has a point. but despite this hartford, he's

a heartful plea to 2 except ukraine as a, as a future member's state of the european union. because as he said, they are fighting for european values. we have to say that you are p and leaders are not very likely to really listen to this message. and they have already made clear that it takes time to become a member of the european union. because as they say, they also need to protect at the union to only add to accept the members who are fulfilling certain criteria and our center. just a quick last question, there is an announcement to day our on u. s. gas shipments to the european union tells more about that. well, we accept the you as a to promise to deliver an up to 15, a 1000000000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas to europe, to help help the euro p in union to be less dependent on natural gas from russia. our brussels bureau chief,

alexander phenomena reporting for us there. thank you. when russia launched its invasion a month ago, it expected to take ukraine in a lightning offensive against all odds ukrainian forces continue to keep one of the world's biggest armies at bay intelligence report. say ukraine has retaken ground west of t f and destroyed a ship in russian held territory. but that fight back has come at a terrible price. flames and smoke billowing from a russian transport ship in the harbor of russian occupied bared yonce lines for humanitarian aid. stretching in front of bombed out apartment blocks in the heavily struck city of mar, you pull a month into russia's war, and ukraine. every day is full of images. that only weeks ago were difficult, if not impossible, to imagine in modern europe. the sun was shining in keys and no bombs were falling for the moment as soldiers and civilians reflected on

a month of war. greens as legit it's good ukrainians have united as never before perhaps undergo. this makes me very happy. the pin and the russians made a big mistake coming after our country hill and our land. we will bite their throats or with our homeland. so no shadow dinner must be boy away. morale is as high as on the 1st day, and it will remain so until the last day. victory day, he remained determined. ukraine has proven its resilience, but sustained bombardment, bodies in the streets, and life in bomb shelters with limited or no power or heat. we are bound to take their toll on even the bravest with fullness in my finance was id, english. i feel hospital with one doesn't know what to do next and how to behave. am i? so i try to keep calm and only hope that everything will be over years city can all, will be fine. as it was before for over at to see the smiles returned to people's

faces. and our chances to enjoy life returned to us. they were at youth villages 2 a month ago. no one knew how long ukraine could hold out against russia. and yet, despite the toll to human life and infrastructure, and the sheer size of the russian war machine, the underdog is still standing. they can speak now to our correspondent finding the charge he is reporting from the live in western ukraine. i funny, we saw in that report that about ukraine's reported as thinking of a russian supply ship. tell us more about what that means. the several landing ships that, of course, want to supply to russia. it's very, very important. basically, things that you need to fight in this war. we are talking about fuel be talking about armored vehicles. we're talking about supplies and ukraine claims that they sank. one of these ships, a landing ship named autodesk near the pool to town about the answer, which by the way, is about 85 kilometers from besieged town of mar,

you pool. now also ukraine claims at that day could make some headway in keep us valley to northern part of the city and push back some of the russian troops. we cannot verify that, but the videos that we have seen about that appear and destruction of that ship, of course, symbolizes to many people here on the ground that some headway is being made and that the offensive by ukrainian forces also succeeds in some way, even though of course, it cannot be underestimated that russia is still very superior in terms of the number of troops, the military and the air, the any other elements that they have to bring forward. what they call is a dimly to relation and di notification of ukraine. so they're making headway funding, you said, but is there a sense there that ukrainian forces are actually gaining the upper hands? that's a really good question because they are mixed messages in

a way. on the one hand, the ukrainian defense ministry says, said yesterday that they made some progress, as i say in key from the northern part. and some of the up troops could be a pushed back at the same time. of course, the troops, russian troops are known to then again and come together, regroup, and to try to start the offensive again. in fact, you pray, sad that they do know that is offensive. i going to resume not only keith, but also had keith is to me and other parts of ukraine also. and maria pull really a challenge where you ask yourself, what is there to resume? because that town is basically reduced to almost nothing. and the people who are trapped there, even though wants to try to leave that city are asking themselves where to go to. so yes, on one hand, ukraine strike to spread this message that we. ringback let's hang in there because we also got to make some progress. ukrainian military is going to make some progress here. the question is the, what you plane is going to look like by that time when that progress,

according to ukraine, is completed. and at what price finally, we know that the toll on the civilian population has been devastating, hasn't it? definitely, unfortunately, been 4 weeks into this will thousands of people have been killed. and unfortunately, we can only talk about an estimate as it's really incredibly hard just to verify the numbers as are they are towns where even journalists do not have or just very limited access to. so we need to work with the sources that we have from a beat, a jewish united nations, and can only call it an estimate. but bottom line is millions of people have been displaced since the war began and are going to continue to be displaced as long as this massacre actually, as the pope called it, a senseless massacre continues, as the war continues. deities, funny for char, reporting from love is thank you for that update. let's get a quick round up of some other headlines now. former u. s. president donald trump has filed
