well, nato is warning that russia is preparing to launch fresh us assaults in eastern and southern ukraine, secretary general yann's sultan burke has told western allies the conflict could last for years. we have seen no indication that the prison putin hossa changed his ambition to control over the whole of ukraine on also to rewrite her the natural order. so we need to be prepared for a long whole. we need to support ukraine, sustained our sanctions on strengthening our her defenses on the our deterrence. earlier we spoke with the d. w correspondent, terry schultz in brussels. and we asked her, what a long haul wore in ukraine would mean for nato. he and stilton berg told allies that they needed to be prepared for months of war, possibly even years. and that means that these reinforcements have both troops and

equipment that have been sent to the eastern plank are probably not going home any time soon. if ever he also warns them this means they're going to spit, need to spend a lot more money on their militaries, possibly more than the 2 percent of g d. p. that nato has called for up to this point. and the german chancellor, olaf, shoulds has defended his government's response to the war. hitting back claims at berlin is not doing enough to help ukraine and promising more support. he also called the murder of civilians, a war crime o. d u a red powerful sight outside the german parliament in berlin. people lined silently on the ground, a clock ticking rhythmically in the background. hundreds chose this way to reject the suffering than deaths in ukraine and to demand more action is only a short walk away inside parliament. discussions were marked by that suffering, but by the harrowing images from boucher and other cities, horses,

r dot and haven't got russian soldiers massacred, ukrainian civilians. there's including children, women on the elderly before retreating, fallen and i to mention the cynical assertion for made by russia to true not this was staged. these and falls back on those who spread. these lies fred of dealing torque to desert, looking for brighton. the murder of civilians, he really is a war crime and creeks for where we shall set berlin would continue to support kia for this includes further obs deliveries. if the arms are available that make sense equal for the conservative opposition. this is not enough. so the fall germany is doing or a lot hoping ukraine or no question urban financially or can nominate politically. but concerning the question on, on heavy we're heavy weapons. i think her said german government as to reluctant outside protesters, one germany and the you to increase pressure on russia. they demand an immediate

embargo and russian oil and gas, which is not likely to happen very soon. but many here believe precisely, this is what will help to put an end to fighting destruction and deaths in ukraine . let's bring it up to speed now on some other updates on the war on ukraine. u. s . president joe biden has accused russia of brutality and inhumanity and announced new sanctions in the wake of the atrocities. fightin has also spoken of war crimes . the latest measure is drawn up by washington target russian banks and individuals, including the daughters of russia's president vladimir putin for their you leaders meanwhile are pushing to cut off russian coal imports. and considering imposing an embargo on oil and gas. the block is preparing to implement a 5th round of sanctions against moscow. britain is also drawing up a time table to and it's russian energy imports. we will hold it and germany is

planning to speed up. it's moved to renewable energy economy minister robert high back says reforms aim to eliminate dependence on fossil fuels, or by 20 or 35. the goal is to help germany meet climate goals and become independent of russian energy imports or more than 4000000 ukrainians have fled abroad, most going to neighboring countries, and many others have traveled overseas. hundreds have reached a mexican city of t wanna a gateway to the u. s. state of california where they are hoping to seek asylum did have the correspondence stuff and siemens reports from a refugee camp in one year in the camps. situations are vastly different. this is not a nice situation and not a good situation for the people who are here on one hand. on the other hand, those are the lucky ones who are escaped, of the horrors of your brain. and also, compared to what refugees, immigrants, of people who want to read to the united states phase who are accounting for latin

america. there's by no comparison as bad as they have it. this is ok again, organized cares, but it is provided to them opportunity to sleep. there's a bed, there's tens, there's food, there's water, medical attention to them. so the situation is absolutely different from what we, for example, experience just 4 years ago here when people waited through mud and we're in a desperate, much more desperate situation than those people here. but again, as serving as i have said, of those people, he of course went through an unspeakable trauma shop in simon's forest. there were many of the millions of ukrainians forced to flee from their homeland or at least able to take their pets with them to these at max it's and i met a volunteer helping people and their dogs crossing into poland. olenka and saba are full of life warning to war torn ukraine. the puppies have found
