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 as to her will. 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 show by chill out what i saw. i think that even the most perverted minds wouldn't be able to imagine. it's an outage. nay, bit the night of the 20th of march, i named this night the genocide. yup. as wally this was the night when the bombings just wouldn't stop political, an issue all 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 directly and it's hard to comprehend. a moment when you want it all

to be over. in a good way that she survives a buddha as a king 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. can it so much? and soon it would be she and a few of her colleagues took their chance to escape. were ye holy? we were driving and then in the distance we saw our flag, the uh, blue and yellow flag and ukrainian troops. the block in the 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? thought and he said yes, you're at home. switched over to dr. dormer, sit alive, but dead inside. she tells me as she faces a life haunted by what she's witnessed. call it is it when the world sees what happens in mary, you pull, it will be butcher multiplied 515100,

next m crimea and made it. and the don boss region, we've seen syria where they even used and chemical weapons. but nonetheless, i think it's the logical consequence when you read what running important has written about ukraine as a nation, that he denies em even exists really. and the, the, our goal is said he's our light and various speeches. i'm beginning adelaide last year. and nato is warning that russia is preparing to launch fresh assaults in eastern and southern ukraine. secretary generally and st oldenburg, has told western allies the conflict could last for years. we have seen no indication that the person putting hossa changed his ambition to control 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 under our deterrence. and earlier we spoke with the dw correspondent terry schultz in brussels, and we asked her what a long haul wore in ukraine would mean for nato. yet 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 flank. are probably not going home any time soon. if ever he also warned 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 at claims. berlin is not doing enough to help you crane and from say more support. he also called the murder of civilians, a war crime, o d u,

feasible is not enough. when people, germany is doing a lot hoping ukraine or no question urban financially, aka normandy, politically. but concerning the question on, on heavy revenue reference, i think her said german government has 2 electrons 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 get 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 white and has also spoken of war crimes. the latest measures drawn up by washington target russian banks and individuals, including the daughters of rushes,
