ah ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, a deadly attack on civilians fleeing war, battery ukraine, at least 50 dead and dozens more wounded is missiles, strike a pack train station. ukraine condemns it as another russian war crime. and is france prepares for its presidential elections on sunday. many young people feel

disillusion with their politicians, but one young woman has made it her mission to change all that ah, i'm michael ok. welcome. ukrainian president, for lot him is a lensky, says, a russian missile attack on a train station in eastern ukraine that killed at least 50 people, amounts to war clients. the president is demanding more weapons and a tough global response. french and german leaders have condemned the attack and the white house is called it a horrific atrocity. scenes of college and destruction in easton, ukraine streets littered with smouldering debris and the bodies of dozens killed. the governor of damascus said at least 5 children are among the dead. after several

rockets hid chrome, a tossed station on friday, already speaking to the finish parliament president vladimir lensky, condemned russia. if a striking clear civilian targets they hit yeah, but little foolish. i will start with what happened this morning when you were russian forces hit the train station in our city of cremmit, oscar an ordinary train station with ordinary people, channels, any channel. there were no military personnel, le m, though people who are waiting for a train to get to a safe territory when russian forces hit them with military missiles. without a getaway or new york, the criminal has denied the employ. this type of projectile. but ukrainian military officials said they being used throughout the war on a visit to london to me. british prime minister boris johnson, german chancellor,

olaf sholtes never called the attack. atrocious. pleasure after welcome you. the bid at the veils will be images we have seen from bushels here from maria pole. and for many of the places the dramatic attack we have been told about to day to it shocks us and we must say here in clear terms. it is a cruel, cruel wall. latin vault gazette that goes on. as the sun calls on my creek. around 4000 people were thought to be at the station. they came with their pets and personal possessions, hoping to escape the worst hazards of wall. i'm joined now by nick connelly in kiva . nick, a missile attack kills people, trying to get on trains to flee the fighting. yet russia is still insisting it does not target civilians. what do we make of this? well, it's kind of extraordinary. if you look at the russian state media,

they are even saying that this was ukraine hitting ukraine. there are reports in russian media of a supposedly ukrainian missile divisions to the south west of this station in chrome at oscar, in don bass in the east of the country. and they're not quite sure in their message . if you look at them, if in their reports, whether this, they claim this is a mistake by the ukrainian forces or whether they were doing it on purpose. but certainly they are definitely saying repeatedly in different sources that this was the ukrainian side and then other rush media. i'll just trying not to talk about this at all. it's pretty extraordinary that this is even possible a time where it is well known by everyone that lot to civilians all get ahead of don bass. now, regional governments in that part of the country are now calling on all civilians who can't get out before it's too late before it becomes too dangerous to leave. in recent weeks, the, the situation there in dumbass, which has been the scene of fighting since 2014, had been comparatively quiet, at least in that part of don bass, around crematory,

had been less dangerous. now the pots, the country, but people now increasingly panic, increasingly convinced that this could be a situation where the russian army will try to, in circle ukrainian forces from the north and the south and the east of us from those separatist l territories. there. so lots people try and get out in a hurry and basically for most people, the train, the rail road is the only way out. and now increasingly we've seen attacks on the actual railroad tracks themselves. so increasingly fewer options to get out and more people try to get on few trains and now seemingly not even safe while the with you on the trains. how is a ursula funding visit received in cheese? does ukraine think the e was doing enough? i think it's always going to be difficult to meet expectations here, but there is a sense that you're is waking up to the scale of this. i think this was, it was taken a very well of was received very well, but also ukrainians who had been frustrated with what they saw as fairly

meaningless can message of solidarity and sympathy from the west that weren't backed up with real action and real promises of action, i think the words we heard from was have underlined, basically promising ukraine at turbocharged kind of fast process in t e. that was something that was very well received and was received with yeah, the some positivity unexpected positive t given bases nato is for now at least seemingly close to ukraine. i think you membership is the one kind of process towards closer ties of the west that people think is tangible is realistic that maybe you crank and end up with the status like finland, for instance inside the but outside nato. and he said that finland now off to decades, new trotty is trying to get into nature itself. so i think people are acutely aware that, that you doesn't bring security guarantees in the way that nature would. and all these attempts now to kind of organize bilateral security guarantees from the u. s . so germany or the countries aren't quite the same deal as nature would bring. nick, you've made a reference to this already, but i want to get a little bit more detail from you on it. it's believed russian group,

sir. forces are regrouping for major assault in eastern ukraine. what more you hearing about that? but we definitely hearing a bit of an uptick in activity, an uptick in attack shelling along those front lines. and we're hearing of more russian hardware being sent towards those borders with ukraine and into those areas . and it does seem that if mario paul were to fully for full into russian hands, which is still hasn't been under siege since the 1st of march, then of see there will be a lot of russian forces freed up to try and push further into those trees. in lawns, convenience, col, bless a blood regions that are still under ukrainian control. and at the beginning of this, the russia recognized those self offensive just reasons in the borders, the entire regions. so there is the, the, the sense that maybe that is the kind of mid term goal, those russian forces to take. don, yes, kind of house regions in their entirety to then maybe come back to the negotiating table and say, okay, now ukraine,

if you recognize though separatist regions in the entirety of the church, the new, they control them. maybe there's some deal to be done. got it. that is a nick connelly in keith. many, many thanks. fears are growing in the ukrainian up port city of odessa that it could become russia's next target. the city has imposed a weekend curfew after the missile attack and come a tossed odessey ease on the black sea, which is strategically important to both sides in this war. over the next few days, russia has launched 2 attacks near the city. even before these latest attacks, many ukrainians, mostly women and children, have been leaving odessa. and for some it's been a heart breaking decision. luke does allow it though it is hard, very hot monthly. we sent my daughter in law with the kids,

of her youth and felt a long way away from politics to law. oh, down here. that's where used to live up there. and google was on. she said, i always felt it would be illegitimate for me to take part in political life. her also because i'm the daughter of immigrants and as such, you are constantly being told, this is not your country. you should work hard and not because i thought that in order to talk about politics, you need to have study that renowned universities hockey, the guam the truth. when she was 16 and medical issue, men, doctors sent her to a hospital in a rich part of paris. she went to school there for 6 months and everything changed . so i will daughter, i met people my age from a completely different background. i was the only one who wasn't informed when it came to politics. sometimes they were talking about certain ministers whose names i'd never heard of it. so i realized that not all french people have the same

starting point. even though we all have the right to vote, i became remember guys off, it's a while and i decided i needed to do something about that. what, what if i the crew could be born so resort. oh, in 2018. lulu co founded a group that organized events with young people in the kind of suburbs where she grew up. the idea is to convince them to vote. today she's in ga, nes, north of paris. they really loved the many math. what you've all seen, the pictures of president micron negotiating with rushes vladimir putin at that huge table. whether we wanted or not, the president's actions have an impact on our lives. for example, how he'll deal with rising fuel prices. he may be much at home yet. exit the locks on with those who i'm not interested in voting are presidents, never keep their word flow to school, should people i lectured with that one that we might not feel the impacts of most government measures now. but in 2 or 3 years,
