hello m terry martin, thanks for joining us. ukraine's military says, russian forces are now focusing on an aggressive operation to seize, complete control of the eastern don bus region following russia's failure to take care of and its withdrawal from northern areas around the capitol, ukrainian president ballade of miss lensky warned that rush day we didn't know where they were coming from. they were bright flashes of light in the distance. we had the bullets whizzing past, but only dolly, most of the time, people who barely dare to leave their homes, their sellers, when they did, was often with deadly consequences. more yes, the strong guys actually my sister asked her husband to bring her food to the place . she was hiding that with march. the form to push that he didn't against you. they

shot him just before he got to the house is wooden cool. we'll have to put so many people died. there was so many bodies just on the street. some had lost their legs, the faces went, blew, they were out there. that long. overwhelmingly, this woman's son in law's body was only recovered oft ukrainian troops had retaken . gotcha, almost a month after he was killed of the victims were recovered by their neighbors, even while the russian military controlled the town and brought him to this churchyard. locals told us that more than a 100 civilians, men and women of all ages lie provisionally buried in this pit some just in the clothes they were found in others wrapped in blankets, plastic nearby, we met local men who helped to organize the burials in the churchyard. visually woke, people lived their lives, knowing they were being watched through the sites of russian soldiers, guns number they would just shoot at people walking the streets. also they killed

a lot of people because they were so afraid, we're really afraid that any one of us could be ukrainian soldier laws, watch, ready to kill them. filled up a game mostly with the danger, was not just out on the streets this thursday, them only with the i met a group of families who was stuck in their cellar for a week. im scar, which was the, the russians had told them to go down there with their families at the school or with a policy that they would give them food and water. it shouldn't be, would be a name can only be or not that instead they threw 2 grenades in that sort of cruelty. when they came out, the men who were 35 to 40 years old, they could barely speak the loser. they didn't even have the energy anymore to be afraid. lumala soon got this. as reports as mass graves come in from evermore places previously and original me control, fear is a butcher might soon prove to be far from an isolated a trusty. short while ago i spoke with our correspondent nick conley,

whose in key ab about the situation there. now that russian troops have withdrawn from the suburbs here in key. if we are definitely hearing less, no way of artillery fire less in the way of air raid sirens of the kind that we basically had every couple of hours for the last few weeks to defeat. there is a real sense that the fighting is further away, but there's no final sense that this is totally over. there are reports coming in of isolated russian units that it basically left behind by the russian retreat and some of them hiding out in forests around the kind of cities like boucher where they were in control for weeks at a time. i said, reports coming in of ukraine checkpoints being attacked by those russian forces that are now trying to make their way north to bellows to withdraw. so and no real sets. this is somehow organized or fully and what kind of dairy free of russian troops i'm but now of see the focus is on looking at what has happened trying to find the dead trying to find the victims or of such killings and also to cut take

stock to take minds away their looks of booby traps, lots of their minds in towns like boucher and a long road. so a real fear when people hear that, even though the direct risk of being killed in fight even ukraine, russian forces is he, he lower, they're still big risks to civilians and no real chance of a return to ordinary life. in the next couple of days, a weeks have the the parent atrocities uncovered in boucher and elsewhere around kia. are they impacting ukraine's approach to peace negotiations with russia? nick? well, on one hand you definitely hear a hardening of time. for most people lets people who thought they couldn't be more shocked or somehow more moved than by what they'd seen in mary pull forty's. the pictures coming out, mary paul fair, of slee ukraine controls this t center. so this was artillery fire at civilians rather than a full military control, as was case in butcher where we had those killings of civilians and shootings. so

a real hardening of tone, lots of ukrainian military people say that this is no longer the time to take russian prisoners basically that there will be no, no, no way to, to take prisoners that anyone basically any russian so they see will be shot on the other hand, present zalinski saying that he is still open to negotiations with russia without him approaching that. that is the only way to reduce civilian losses in ukraine. however little he might want to as a personal level engage with leslie does, that is, is you should do so. but the question is, will they even talk to him? hold on this conflict. podium is events. he has said that he's open to talks and all that time, he's basically being ignored by vladimir putin who said basically says the only person he wants to choose job button. nick, thank you very much. our correspondent nick connelly there in keith. here's about the stories related to the ukraine. warm ukrainian president vladimir

savanski has called for urgent action from the united nations over ledge, or russian war crimes. as a permanent member of the council, russia has the power to veto any binding resolution, making the body powerless to act against the gremlins war on ukraine. u. s. secretary of state antony blank and says, washington will provide an additional $100000000.00 and assistance to ukraine, including anti armor systems as lincoln made the announcement ahead of wednesdays, meeting of native and g 7, ministers in brussels, where they'll be discussing the conflict. meanwhile, western leaders are set to impose tough new sanctions on moscow over the atrocities in boucher, the e. u is expected to include a ban on russian coal in ports with commission president or slip on their line warning. oil could be next and u. s. says it'll target members of hooton's inner circle and banned all new investments in russia. the besieged city of murray, who ball in ukraine has been under constant russian bombardment since the beginning

of the war. more than half the population has fled well up to a 170000. others remain trapped without food, water or electricity. the w correspondent, rebecca ritters met one doctor who spent 25 days and nights helping the injured until she too took the chance to flee on through almost 4 weeks of war and the most unspeakable conditions. anna, a neurologist worked and lived in the mary hugh paul city hospital, now in the relative safety of love. if she tells me of her ordeal. but just let us show, during the heaviest, bombardments we had around 50 patients an hour arriving a day. the hospital was so over crowded and the windows doors and roof wall destroyed stead. not long after it got even worse, the russians caught the water supply as but alice knew we would gather snow, rain water, use the water from inside the boilers and disinfect it. so many patients were dying,

she tells me they were forced to put the corpses outside in bags, asked her to have all the worst thing was when the relatives would come to look for their loved ones on him, they had to open all the bags, the bitter cold, they're saving grace as it prevented the worst of the stench. they showed by chill out what i saw. i think that even the most perverted minds wouldn't be able to imagine. they had some knowledge, no bitterness. the night of the 20th of march, i named this night the genocide. that'd me up as wally this was the night when the bombings just wouldn't stop political, an issue hollow. every time we heard a bomb coming. mitchells i was lying and thinking i would cover my head like that and think this one will be the one that gets us lost. just a moment comes sickly and it's hard to comprehend. a moment when you want it all to be over. in a good way that she survives a booster looking or in a bad way,

and you die to rosa and you don't care how you die. just as long as it's all over among us to both connect samouce and soon it would be she and a few of her colleagues took their chance to escape. were ye holly? we were driving and then in the distance we saw our flag of blue and yellow flag and ukrainian troops. public goodly proper tumble. one of them gave me a hug and it's weird, but i asked him, can i be a ukrainian here? is it safe daughter? and he said yes, you are at home perched. no, for the doctor dormer sit alive but dead inside. she tells me as she faces a life haunted by what she's witnessed. gully is it when the world sees what happens in mary apple. it will be butcher multiplied 515100, which 851002 modern day such for

their correspondent rebecca richard who filed the report, joins me now from liver. rebecca, this war is leaving so many people traumatized, including the doctor you spoke with. are they able to get any help dealing with the psychological impact of what they've been during, terry, it's hard to comprehend how people, particularly people like anna, have witnessed and experience. some of the worst of this war are going to be able to carry on. in its aftermath, it's by no means over, so they're going to be plenty more stories like this, or alive or dead inside is how she extra extra. it described her feelings in her state of mind at the moment, now you express, extrapolate that across all the people who've seen and witnessed this stuff. we're talking about a nation who are going to be traumatized from this war. there are organizations here angio set up to try and help with the psychological aspects of the trauma. but

obviously they, that is sad to say a secondary factor because the immediate factor of trying to re, how's these people to have them registered for government assistance when they no longer allowed to earn able rather to earn money, it takes precedence. so the psychological aspect element will come 2nd to that. now anna herself said that she hadn't yet received any psychological support. we're actually going to try and help set her up with an organization. i'm because they're not necessarily, it's not an official process yet. there are just so many other immediate factors, but it is something that is going to be these organizations are going to be working very hard in the weeks and months ahead. years. in fact, harry, you're in live rebecca in western ukraine. what's the situation there right now? is it still considered relatively safe? it is a relative, is the word that terry i'm, you can probably see behind me,

i'm in the main square. there are people walking around. i mean, in many respects, it feels like a relatively normal city, despite the fact that everybody has not a single person in this country. he's not been touched by this conflict. it's been a little over a week since the, the last explosions here at that, that targeted the oil depots. and then until last night, when about 70 kilometers to the northwest in an area called erotic cave, some administrative offices were targeted. and we was too far for us to be able to hear anything from here, but the sirens were wearing. so just goes to show how close the conflict can be. and though the city is, is relatively safe day to day. just how close the conflict still is. rebecca, thank you very much. shar corresponded rebecca ritter's there in libby you're watching dw news up next. we've got a documentary film for you,

the children of sarajevo. i'm terry margin for me and all of us here at the w. thanks for watching. with your time for the experiment about time, it can be measured precisely. and yet each person experiences it differently as if there are different forms of time time. but dimension and illusion about time starts april 14th on d w.
