ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, fierce resistance. these ukraine retake ground and leave rush us plans for lightning offensive in ruins. ukraine says it has sunk a russian supply ship audience as intelligence reports say it as we've taken ground elsewhere. but the price paid by ukraine's population has been high. also coming up u. s. presidential biden wants russia kicked out of the g 20 as nato g 7. and you

leaders try to increase pressure on moscow and support the people of ukraine and feeding refugees instead of fighting at the front. if i take the gun, i will be like just the, one of the war soldiers in the world. but if i take the knife and then go to the kitchen, i can be one of the best in the world. ah, i'm assuming someone's gonna glad you could join us. we start with some signs of ukrainian forces, gaining ground and pushing back. russian forces. intelligence reports, a ukraine has retaken ground west of kias and destroyed a ship in russian hel territory. when russia launched its invasion, a month ago, it expected to take ukraine in a lightning offensive against all odds. ukrainian forces continued to keep one of the world's biggest armies. hey, but that resistance 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, grains of logistics 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 in our land. we will bite their throats or with our homeland, no shadow or dinner. i see, 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 my son was id equus. i feel hostile with a lovely 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 and 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 that they wanted you to validate you 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. we can speak now to our correspondent funding for

char. she's reporting from this in western ukraine high funny. we saw in that report that about ukraine's reported a sinking of a russian supply ship. tell us more about what that means. the several landing ships had, of course, want to supply to russia and surveyed very important basically things that you need to fight in this war. we're talking about fuel, they're 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 a portal town about the ants, which by the way is about 85 climate is from besieged town of mar your pool. now also ukraine claims that they could make some headway in keep us valley to northern part of the city and pushed 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 any other elements that they have to bring forward. what they call is a demilitarization 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 or 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 how to 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 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 hang in there because we're also going to make some progress. ukrainian military is going to make some progress here. the question is the, what your 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 they are town. so even journalists do not have just very limited access to. so we need to work through the sources that we have from a beat at u. s. 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 message actually, as the pope called it, a senseless massacre continues, as the war continues. deities, funny for char, reporting from love. if thank you for that update and we can get some more perspective now with helena vessel jenko, she is a member of the ukrainian parliament. miss russell, tinkle, thank you for joining us here on d. w. the war, as we mentioned, has now entered its 2nd month. can you tell me more about what your experience has been? yeah. hello. thank you for inviting. thank you that you show tool all the world. what is really going on in a ukraine. and then of course,

this is that was timely, and then i'll what history because in our history, but since we are independent, you see what is going on. and every day these miles are fighting all with cds. and the worst is that is this russian sold. there's, they don't fight, we've always sold those. they fight with always civilians. and you see what they made with muddy ball, with what they made with all wet big cities, such as car keys to me here. and so what they they apply can hold to patel's. they are fighting residential buildings as they apply to different administrative. i'll stay to buildings and houses they had, they had destroyed more than 500, if you cation and occasional building society and kindergarten. this we've

just been, as you've been speaking this lesson check, we've been looking there at some of the pictures of the devastation and multiple that you yourself have just been mentioning. i want to ask you about the day of diplomacy in summits that we saw on brussels. we saw a nato, of course, vow to continue to support ukraine. we saw you members state say that as well, but they rule out direct intervention and they will out any sort of step that might result in an engagement with russia. are you disappointed and what you've seen from western ally so far? the control i want to takes to say thank you to all governments and to all people around the world that are supporting us. and for that, and for all that, and military and of humanitarian aid as a to be gaining from human birth and from the united states of america. but i'm sure bed, for instance, ne told, for instance, the united states of america and also your members. they can more because for

as for this moment, we are not only defending all the country and only our democracy. we are dependent democracy and democracy of the whole human on the whole simulate civilized world. we are defended democracy on the whole, europe, and nato. as you mentioned, it was created as the most safe allianz elia for safety in the vault. and we asked to take us to nato, and we assured that if we were a member of need to risk law, could not be launched even for this moment. reassures it always told us that all the army meet, the standards of the nato. quote, miss miss watson sank. what do you think of the fact of the concerns from nato member states that taking ukraine in as a member, for example,

could raise the threat of a nuclear war? i think that it was the last 2 weeks. everyone in the board understood that put in it's crazy. and if she does a will decide to, for instance, to use chemical biological and nuclear war or to a to start. 8 more why do what she will do it despite all we the members of the or not allies. for instance, peacekeepers are in your grade or not. if you could send one message to nato and to the you of what you need right now, when you crane, what would it be? we need to close this sky, and we need peacekeepers here in the ukraine. we'll leave it there. member of ukrainian parliament. helena russell, thank you. thank you very much for joining us on the w this morning. thank you. the

russian onslaught. i sent millions of ukrainians on the run. many left their homes in a hurry taking only what they could carry with them. for many of those arriving hungry in la viv, there's been a pleasant surprise provided by one of ukraine's the top chefs. d w. i mean s reports. if you need a free meal in the vive, just ask for menu number 2, master chef. if jen cooper, think oh, as crafting a daily meal for refugees. and just because it's free doesn't mean it's not. for me, there's going to be like personal thoughts about the, the gravy off there are some fees or, and the someone else with no wild mushrooms global tank. it was certainly one of the most well known chefs and ukraine. he won the reality show master chef ukraine in 2015 and had restaurant and key of which he left behind. the very day russian baited as

a man of fighting age. couple tango cannot leave the country and would have to enlist of the military called. he says he will do anything to help you train. but as a soldier he wouldn't be much help. my world is like been quarrelled. no, you know who was the allow bees and everyone is like my world despite. 1 i'm thinking that the if i take the gun, i will delay just her one of the worst soldiers in the world. but if i take knife and then go to the kitchen, i can be one of the best in the world. today his 1st customers show up around 11 a. m. this couple arrived in the v from the central ukrainian city of zappa regia, a week ago. my name is melissa. we heard about if can help a tank o for my smartphone from facebook or he's doing a good thing. we're very grateful to him. in such difficult times, he's made a menu for us, for the refugees were very grateful. the free men,

you number 2 is paid for by profits from menu number one, which attracts those looking to support the cause and rub shoulders with a celebrity. chef isn't good. lie of lust, mckoko's, a sort of my wife heard about him on tv, but for my land line, jim could live. it's a deliberation. yeah. but she told me about it and we decided to come and see if there was really a free menu for refugee, etc. we wanted to love them support the restaurant cilenzo lawyers old may be the name of the of last nica, pick him a g m. for now the bistro is called others. but that name says global tank o could change. nothing right now in the vive can be set in stone. western allies are ramping up pressure on russia to end the war in ukraine as it entered the 2nd month. u. s. presidential biden is pushing for russia to be kicked out of the g. 20 group of nations and european union leaders are choosing moscow of

war crimes. that message comes after a marathon day in brussels with back to back meetings of nato, the g 7 and the you all promising more support for ukraine. the day began at nato headquarters, where beyond the handshakes photo ops and display of unity, the 30 leaders of the trans atlantic alliance also reaffirmed their support for ukraine. today, allah leaders also agreed to provide further support to ukraine, helping to uphold their from underwrite, to self defense eyes or also equipping ukraine with significant military supplies into the anti tank and air defense systems on drones. which are proving highly effective. as well as substantial financial on humanitarian aid. for moscow, they promised more punishment and isolation off to nato. it was the g 7

whose leaders announced that they'll restrict the russian central banks use of gold, major wheat producers, canada and the u. s. said they would increase exports to try to minimize the looming global food security crisis caused by russia's invasion of ukraine. then came the e u summit. e leaders did agree a deal with biden to buy more liquefied natural gas from the u. s. we will present um a new chapter in our energy partnership. it is about additional ellen g from the united states for the european union, thus replacing the russian. ellen g, we have so far an important step forward. 1000 kilometers away from the talks. the war raged on in ukraine. from the capital cave war valorem zalinski sent this

message to the world. the war continues the x, after or against peaceful people go on one miles already. that long, it breaks my heart harsh all. busy you grants and every free person on the planet. that's why i ask you to stand against the war. but back in brussels, every one knows. it will take more than solidarity to bring europe's worst crisis since world war 2, to an end. and our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena has been covering all the action for us. hi, alexander, it's good to see you. tell us more about what came out of this flurry of activity and brussels. also me the fact that all the 3 summits took place on one day he in brussels, was remarkable, and a shed and strong sign of unity with natal leaders. approving a massive reinforcements of the alliance of forces on the eastern flank and

promising more military assistance to ukraine with the g 7 leader saying that they will hamper any efforts to circumvent western sanctions. and you are p and leaders meeting with the you as president and calling out russia for its war crimes and promising ukraine to raise money to help rebuild the country. however, when we talk about concrete outcome that was rather limited, and of course not enough from the ukrainian perspective, nato is still saying no to a no fly zone over ukraine, and the u. leaders has to rebuff to ukraine. ukraine's plea for ad fast trek you membership, and that's a message we heard directly from the ukranian president. he thanked you members the west for their support, but also was critical of what they have not done. so let's take a look at what he said that he, he knows sankey, you've

a polite sanctions and we're grateful. mean these are powerful steps could be, but it was a little late. we civil war because of it was preventive club. russia would not have gone to war. no one knows for sure, but at least there was a chess. so alexandra zalinski essentially saying there that western leader is enabled hooton's invasion of ukraine. how did that go down and brussels? well i think that we have to acknowledge, we have to acknowledge that zalinski has emerged as her, as an excellent communicator, or who is tailoring his messages to the audience he's facing. and that was the case here as well. and i think that it went down well with some members states with the baltic states, for instance, or poland. they have been calling on the you to be tougher on russia for years or pushing to for more sanctions, more action, to help ukraine and at lensky. acknowledge that in his statement saying latvia

stands with us lithuania stands with us. and then he went on speaking about germany, for instance. and he, sir, said germany a little bit later, acknowledging that germany was initially initially reluctance to imposing tougher sanctions. and that germany is now one of the members states that are blocking a potential oil and a natural gas embargo. alexander tells me about what is happening to day. we saw president biden calling for russia to be kicked out of the g 20. and we understand there's gonna be an announcement as well, about boosting a u. s. gas shipments to the you? yes, and the u. s. president was very clear that it, it were if it were for him, he would remove from russia from the g 20. but of course, he knows that it needs to be a consensus phase to decision and some g. 20 members are reluctant to remove russia . that is why he suggested that ukraine should be invited to the g 20 meetings or

we'll see whether that is going to happen. and today, we expect a joint statement by the european union and the u. s. on energy with the u, as expected to promise to deliver up to 15000000000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas to the european union until the end of this year to help the u. b. less dependent on liquefied natural gas from russia did have his brussels bear chief alexander phenomena good to talk to you. countries in the middle east and north africa import most of their wheat from russia and ukraine. since the russian invasion, the price of grain has spiked threatening food security from millions of people. countries like tunisia and morocco were already vulnerable to food crises, especially in the wake of the pandemic and severe drought. but the added impact of war could lead to social unrest. i fever, likes to offer, i guess

a cup of coffee. it's one of the few things she still has in her kitchen. or the home is to have had that missed on the when we go to a store and to buy ingredient that there isn't anything. had that mr. did not even a flower. do you remember us? michael carson in many stores, in tunisia, the shelves are empty. it's just before ramadan and customers are stocking, above staples, they're worried about shortages, especially during these festive weeks. it was and so luckily the inter neesha, we import almost 40 percent of our wheat from russia and ukraine. and 80 percent of our flower bins been from leon ferry and alanis. so too many people here do not believe the government's assurances. the supplies will last for another 3 months. prices are rising sharply. some sellers think that wholesalers want to profit from the crisis that my nasdaq, they could, they're a black market tiers who are taking advantage of the war in ukraine and hoarding

goods. there's no semolina demo, sugar, no flower, no cooking oil. my not in who's me and my locks been saved. morocco also imports food, staples, from russia and ukraine. even a slight increase in prices can lead to social tensions. the government is trying to reach for the public little you are coming up. hm. so all of the products that are needed during ramadan will be available if prices will be closely monitored so that citizens are not affected. hoboken, the kozora, alabama. was it a long round eroded the soil and morocco to compensate for this? the government has had to set up a special budget, roughly equivalent to 1000000000 euros. now the war in ukraine is adding to those costs, which are hitting the poor countries of the maghreb, particularly hard. we're going to get a round up. now, some other headlines from around the world. 48 people have been killed in twin bomb

d. w. sports is with us. hi, mark. what a shocked at any was he was coming? not really. no, i mean this is actually, i mean, everybody saw how wonderful they were in the euro's back in june and july. most football fans were say they really deserve to, to win that tournament. but yeah, they're out and let's give credit to, to north macedonia because they have a bit of history of this. they beat in germany, for example, in the qualification in germany. and they also reach the euros, the 1st of a major tournament and a perform pretty well. so it's not such a massive surprise. busy but this was a one off game played in italy. everyone expected italy to win it and they've not managed it. how heavily fallen so far so fast? i think what upset them a little bit was that because the euro's was delayed by a year because of the corona virus pandemic. it kind of appeared in the middle of wilco qualifying. so i think that sort of upset italy's rhythm a little bit. they didn't actually lose a game and woke up qualifying. they had a few too many drawers and then the finishing below switzerland. so then they have

to play. this is play off match. and yeah, i mean, it's just staggering really, but we have to remember the italy didn't qualify for the last world built in 2018 motion, and that's 2 in a row where the full times champions won't be there. i think coach reversal mancini put it best. he said last summer i had my greatest joy. and now the biggest disappoint. definitely tough ridley. what about ukraine? they didn't play but they can still qualify. yes, ukraine were actually meant to play scotland last night in a playoff. semi final, understandably, ukraine decided that they weren't able to play that game. so the game has basically been postponed till june or possibly september. it obviously has to take place before the will cut, begins in november, and if they got through that semi final, they didn't have to play wales in a play a final. now russia were also not in action last night. that's because they've been suspended basically from wilco qualifying. they would you to play poland. poland refused to play them. now russia trying legal means to get back into the wilco

qualifying campaign. but poland will play sweden on tuesday in their playoff final . and as long as that game goes ahead and then one team is definitely fruit to the work of russia, basically has no chance, you know, right. mark meadows from d. w. sports covering football for us. thanks very much for that update. all the ukrainian women football team as arrived in the german city of cologne, there being hosted by a german bond asleep club and other 8 organizations. they were forced to flee as bomb foul. for now they are happy to train without fear for their lives. but they wished for a speedy return to their home ground. having flayed east in ukraine, the s the creep bus, creevy leak team, arrived in germany just last week. bonus league aside if c cologne has opened its arms to provide a facility where football training is at least some sort of distraction. norm daughter was because
