keith, which found itself in the middle of intense fighting between russian and ukrainian forces. from late february, he spoke to residence, struggling to make sense of what happened to them. this is we give a small town. it's just emerging from a month and a russian occupation month in which it was on the front lines between russian and ukrainian forces. toys was sometimes just the words people, or children is as much as many residents of this ukrainian town could think of. a plea to the russian troops to leave them and their families alone, as they hid in their homes, who disagree with him. new people in this village spent 27 days without water on the 27 days without bread. he grew up like a demon. his wife held out for 3 weeks until the shelling became too much to bear, and they were finally able to leave for a neighboring village of them up when they got back of the cranium. military had retaken the town, their home would be ransacked by retreating. russian troops across, you know,

they've got it. everything carried everything out. all that laughter, the walls and the sofa a 2nd. he and then you get taken all the electronics. i don't even know where they put it all over the months they were here, the russians really changed for the worse than it was. i'm just disgusted at the thought that they were moving around and eating in my house. at least they didn't sleep here with the full, a dozen cooked doll is available for food with quality. they just destroyed things for the sake of it, him. he'll never even a little. but the impact on this community goes far beyond limited homes. locals, phyllis, they were kidnapped and detained in sellers for days on end, accused by the russians of helping the ukrainian military. several residents still missing, fear killed. a priest arrives, lynn, a bring village when supplies for those who have lost almost everything. yeah,

but it's not food or money that the locals are asking for that us, who am i and what was a willing to put the people here need tranquilizers. many of them have lost everything that they spent a lifetime saving for wallace was this is their houses thought the cars, it's all gone into separate from your book shows as the damp seller where she her husband and her neighbors spent some of the coldest nights the you know, the truth goodness and i agree with linda. we weren't just hearing the shelling, we could feel it. everything was shaking when all we could do is pray that it wouldn't hit us. we just kept praying supplies like these kipling woven husband going during the week sandra occupation where the shops did shut and leaving home would have meant running a gauntlet or was it that he has got out? by the time you've been up and down these steps a few times, you'll lose the will to do anything else. to both tells us she and every one she

knows is exhausted. her washington was waiting for something. they can't quite define. unable to ever let go. mercy me said we didn't used to understand what it was that people and on boss have been going through all these years stuck in their sellers. the last month has taught us what war is, is name certificate. for now, the russian army has been pushed back more than a 100 kilometers the fear they might return suddenly as they appeared, never far away. our next guest is alexandra murphy choke from cave. she's a human rights lawyer and the head of non profit organization. the center for civil liberties mismatch. joke. thank you for being with us. now the images out of boucher have been simply horrific. there is much more that we're not seeing as russian troops withdraw from various areas around the capitol. what are you hearing about what's happening in those areas? we sent over mobile groups to work on the areas and even before the fetus and settlements were liberated to begin testimony from people who like to escape from

this area. because trust them deliberately isolated didn't don't provide opportunity of poor people to advocate and my assessment use their to receive a systematic and large scale nature or for international crimes which is commuted there. and frankly speaking i am i'm, i'm afraid. watch out for you to understand your school teaching with the 40000 people. you've received such kind of assistance in boucher in the, in the water than what the hell is awaits us in a minute. but i think that's the big question now, because we know very little about what's unfolding and mary will pull, and the russians have been bombarding the port city for weeks, relentlessly. ukraine officials there say that troops are now burning bodies to get rid of the evidence of their crimes. and we're sure through sufficient statement, and it's very hard to, to check you to be curious. people are kept here in the basement resolve which

connection of his, our twitter, of his own food to be closed electricity. but we strive to speak people from my father who are well managed to escape from the c t. and now when you pro, in the port or so we also gather a testimonial and they told us horrible thinks about what happened in their nature . can i ask you what kind of horrible things they've been telling you say tell that. how is the 3 loans were killed by russian troops? is that they suffer it from from a shortage of food or water. they try to bury relatives in the common grave and during this drawings and other people where that so it's really, it's really horrible. and the most problematic is that to you, more than 100000 people. i and my ukranian

officials at folk and the russian don't provide permission for any safety. and when you pull your doors to, to say this, if people are injured people and we oscar international community to raise their voice because this teacher is totally the toys and people have to be safe. what more do you want from international community? with regards to all the human rights violations that you're seeing, what do you want the west to do to help you? crane you were speak. not only about mario fight about how to generally manage the situation with the war which russia started against ukraine. a we must admit that we need several things to be done. the thorough thinks we need weapons or we need to be to cover, but you need to you to defeat ukrainian civilians and ukrainians. teaches the example of butcher away short the whole world set. russia troops killed unarmed,

so we need weapons. we need fighter jets, we need air defense systems. we need tanks when use other client or for military techniques. second row, huge debate about with this 5 baggage of functions. some people told us that they are glass or functions is called food, or some people attempt, it tells as this glass the function is cause empty. but the right question is whether this glass of function cut and no action in order to stop within the ukraine. but then which means that it's not happens so it's not enough. alexandra maci choke. thank you very much for your time and sharing those horrific stories with the world. thank you. thank you. craniums are searching through the rubble and the liberated town of ward, the young cow hoping to find the bodies of their loved ones, or dan cars, just 70 kilometers northwest of keys. it was one of the 1st towns hit by russians showing after the invasion began. local authorities have estimated that 200

civilians have been killed usually correspond. alexandra phenomena is standing by in the ukrainian capital, alexander, ukrainian, or authority say 26 bodies have been discovered. what did you witness when you were in board younger? well, i have to say that the scale of destruction and garage younger that we saw today was shocking to all members of our team. it was shocking to see high rise houses completely demolished by russian artillery fire and bombardments there. and so we have to say it was also very heartbreaking to speak with the residents they that had to leave under russian occupation. one woman told me that the russian soldiers stormed her parents house and her mom was her, was told to give the soldiers everything that she had everything of value. and she

just specked them not to kill her. i also spoke with the family there and they told me that russian soldiers came to their house and pointed their machine guns, guns at them and, and the mother, she went to her knees, begging them not to rape her daughter. so really heartbreaking stories and, and a large huge scale of destruction there. heartbreaking stories, harrowing stories you've been hearing that from not only in brianca, but in boucher as well. what are you korean officials saying about these atrocities? well, of course, they fear that to worse is still to come because we now have access to the towns and villages on the outskirts of kia and, and slowly were beginning to understand the scale of destruction. and how many people have been killed there. but we don't have access to more you pull,

for instance, the port city in the eastern part of ukraine. that is 4 weeks no under siege or by the russian forces. did all your correspond alexandra phenomena. thank you very much, alexandra. since invading ukraine, russian forces have attacked more than 100 medical facilities. the world health organization says more hospitals and health care facilities have been attacked around with globe this year. and ever before the moment a bomb exploded in the city of mary apple. and this is what was hit the maternity and children's hospital since the start of russia's invasion, more than 90 health facilities,

including hospitals like this one in the city of him have been attacked according to the world health organization, brutal bullock and for some more than once at the start of the war, the main hospital in the town of bo, nova car was hit. days later, it was attacked again. and then again, while dozens of civilians were hiding inside, trying to escape the shelling among them was andree cantino, head to the hospitals, trauma center who was there with his wife and children. the experience still haunts him. a shilling lasted about 20 to 25 minutes with you was clear and the kids

just removed the communion. my children and i didn't make it to the basement. we spent all this time in the corridor of the hospital. we experienced all the shelling 1st hand or she'd given us pavlo cove. tanya oak is ukraine's former deputy health minister. he now runs an organization that's trying to document each and every hospital attack or our main and primary goal is to help our content international community to hold accountable those people who would do those to what a crisis. and this is what really makes our team really, really motivated, because they feel that they're doing something very important for this more but as the war 10 use. so to do the attacks,

hopes of prosecutions seem a long way off kremlin spokesperson dmitri pash. gov has acknowledged that russia has sustained, quote, significant losses of troops and ukraine. he's called it a huge tragedy for russia, an interview with sky news. it's a rare admission by russian officials of the country's military losses, but pash. gov still says that russia hopes to reach its military goals. in the coming days, the country's defense ministry reports that between one and 2000 russian soldiers have been killed, but independent estimates put the number closer to 10000. our next guest is stephanie bob's. she's a former deputy assistant secretary general of nato. miss bob's welcome to the w. thank for being with us. i want to start by asking you to your reaction to what the spokesperson there has said. well, i guess the russia leadership that doesn't have much choice. other than admitting

that it has really suffered losses much more significant losses in fact. but i guess it's part of the overall gay play of the kremlin to prepare the ground for a longer term war and ukraine. and meanwhile, neo foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels. the korean foreign minister was also there. and you, me triple a bus as he needs 3 things, weapons, weapons, weapons. that was all that was on the agenda and he wants them quickly. it's not exactly clear what nato has been providing. has there been any kind of shift in the type of weapons that the alliance has been sending ukraine from day one to now, for one nature is an organization has not provided any weapons. you know, it's out the allies is the 30 member countries that provide weapons and military equipment and they to doesn't even have and coordinating role. so what the secretary general has actually asked for is to, for the allies to consider providing more of the heavy military equipment that is really needed to counter a mess of land offensive. and i think this is what we're talking about and days and

weeks to come. as russia has started to regroup, and we enforce its military troops in the dunbar and south of ukraine, we heard from the secretary general and st oldenburg, a short while ago. let's have a quick listen to what he had to say. hello, so been doing a lot and are determined to do more now on for to me do a longer term to help the brave ukrainians defend their homes on their country and pushed back the invading forces. all ours also supporting and stepping up. are you going to turn in aid on financial support? we discussed what more we will do, including cyber security assistance, on provide the equipment to help ukraine protect against the chemical and biological fits. now he mentioned chemical and biological threats. if there were to

be that type of an attack on ukraine, would nato's position change in any ways that the red line for nato? is there a red line for nato? well it so i personally think very wise of the allies not to identify any read lies in advance. i mean, we used to have had stories in the past for a red lines remarked and then nothing really happened. so we went to award. this is time, but at the same time, it's very important to do what we call a native contingency planning to prepare for case scenarios to prepare for what if scenarios. and i think this is what the allies have started to do already with regard to chemical weapons that rusher eventually may use, but also for a potential eventual application or deployment, rather of tactical nukes. we hear quite a bit about not provoking vladimir putin, it's nito western allies have repeatedly said we can't do anything that might make the situation worse,

or that this would spill over into nato territory. but it's become very clear that the criteria for what is considered provocation is very different in moscow than it is in the west. so why are the countries that are part of the alliance, comfortable with applying weapons to ukraine, but not doing much more? well, i think it's indeed very, very important to consider the potential consequences of any action. and this is what the allies are doing collectively. and they have collectively decided, personally, i think, wisely. so to not push it too hard to not give, putting that much of a potential excuse to say see, i told you so, nate horace egg entering a war. so name tories becoming a, an active member and a party of this operation in ukraine. so let's go for it in order to avoid that, they have kept this defensive line. however, personally, i believe it's very,

very wise not to always look at what mr. putting has in line, but to really focus on the way me define our own strategies and policy goals in support of ukraine in terms of nato expansion. putin has repeatedly said that this is something that has aggravated him, but this war on ukraine has actually pushed some countries to consider nato membership. and perhaps they wouldn't have. we're talking about finland and sweden . right. and i personally believe that we're going to see a formal application of finland, most likely also sweden at any time soon i'm not talking about was days but, but rather weeks. but i think it's remarkable how these 2 countries have changed. their minds are both in terms of public opinion, but also parliamentary support for nato membership. in many ways, it's a logical step that these countries would take if they put an application, a form filled out on the table. because they have been partners of, of ne, to,

for so long, very valuable partners. they have provided so 1st class support for nato operations . they participated in exercises. and indeed they would really, really be 1st class assets, if admitted by the allies. stephanie, bob's former deputy assistant secretary general of nato, thank you very much for being with us and your insights yet. and with wicca, years from the other stories were falling for a. this, our european union states have approved new sanctions against russia, which included ban on imports of russian coal. the ban on coal is estimated to be worth $4000000000.00 euros a year. you diplomats are now working on additional sanctions, including oil and ports, autumn, and is the u. s. senate has confirmed contain g brown, jackson as a supreme court justice. she'll become the 1st black woman to serve on the country's highest court. president joe biden called her confirmation,

a historic moment for our nation. and i am got some breaking news coming in israel . at least 2 people have been killed in an attack in the city of television. police report receive reports rather of shootings at multiple locations. one of them, a popular night time hang out in the center of the city, a motor for the attack is not yet known, but it follows a spate of similar incidents at the end of last month. for more on the story, we're joined now by on your call in tel aviv, where the attack has happened on you know, what more do we know so far? well, i'm actually pretty close to where the attack happened and happened around 200 meters behind me. and if you see the background here, you will see that this place looks really quiet. but the attack and where i'm standing right now is in downtown televi. if you could say, i could say at the heart of television, and usually this place would be bustling with people. it is thursday night. so this

is the 4 most israelis at the start of the, the beginning off the weekend. so people, a lot of them usually would be out here and they would go to the restaurants, but they don't do that anymore. they was sent home, they were going home looking for safety. and i was actually trying to get closer to the side of the attack, but was asked by a policeman to please not to do so because safe out. he felt that that would not be safe for me because the police are still looking for the perpetrator. apparently on the perpetrator, and it's still on the run. oh, we have been hearing a lot of sirens, a down town we saw as helicopter. and so this is the 4th attack within 2 weeks. so the police has already been on the highest alert to for 12 months, dw correspondent, on your call in tel aviv. thank you. anya. a group of syrians who were given refuge in germany after

a fleeing war in their own country, spent time last year helping germans who had lost everything and devastating floods . now they're helping ukrainians, whose lives have also been turned upside down by conflict mud. as far as the i can see in july of last year, the valley in western germany was hit by devastating flooding in just a matter of days, a novel aide campaign was launched the group theory and volunteers in germany. put a call out in arabic for extra support and hundreds of serums from across germany answered to help flood victims. we, how far along as we have more experience with germans when it comes to disasters in war. we've been through it all and survived. we're better equipped to deal with it with and many who haven't yet failed the thing. stuff. i'm kind of hung in cincy nestled in the valley, a group of syrians pitched in for months. they bonded with the flood victims and

now some of the helpers are moving to the valley themselves. one of them is alan had now he's helping ukrainian refugees. he and other syrian volunteers use the network. they built during the flood to coordinate help for ukraine. he picked up refugees in this bus. now he's using it to move house during the drive he keeps getting calls to organize more a transports for ukraine. on a, it's an issue. we built up this team of volunteers after the flooding, both these a team, tanya, and now the team can take on other ties and hope throughout europe. and why not? it's our goal to help out in ukraine, you know. and wherever else we can hinder from when

they emphasize with what the ukrainians are going through and are using the organizational skills they applied during the floods to help ukrainian refugees day by day, they check which helpers are available and when, who has a driver's license or who can drive a truck? right? i know, i know i have dual is another syrian volunteer. me now lives in cincy. the war in ukraine has upset him greatly, and he lost his entire family to a chlorine gas attack in syria in for one person. so why is doing this or bashar al assad, or all these people waging war and syria? why are they doing this? i don't know. was it? while we were filming, and i told us how helping made him feel stronger and find his place in society. they hoped to lead by example, and keep pitching in wherever they're needed. you're watching the w news. here's

a reminder of one of our top stories kremlin folk person, dimitri pash, golf has acknowledged russia has sustained significant losses of troops, and ukraine is called it a huge tragedy for russia. the country of defense ministry reports that between one and 2000 russian soldiers have been killed. but independent esther but the number closer to 10000 dw news. i'll be back with a round up of the day and just a few minutes stick around with with

ah ah, the war has forced more than 4000000 ukrainians to flee their country. like alexei, a 36 year old business owner who left his company and employees behind people who continue to rely on him for a salary. will his enterprise be able to survive the war a d. w business special? quickly? 60 minutes thought

ah, a phenomenon, a dimension. if we know we won't live forever, an illusion. about time presenting futures past starts april 14th on d. w. weapons, weapons, weapons. that's the urgent appeal from ukraine's foreign minister to western allies . demitrix lay boss as the fight for easter and ukraine is about to get much worse and his country desperately needs arms to defend its people. nato says it to expect a major battle and the don boss, and it's committed to providing a wide range of weapons for a conflict at the alliance believes may drag on for years. i'm abby, qual dawson and this is the day oh.
