where there are more than 350 corpses is due to your valuable russia. defense ministry says destroyed an armored vehicle production planned on the outskirts of keith early on. saturday. moscow sess induced high precision long range weapons in the strike keeps may assess. rescuers and medics are at the site of the attack, assessing the damage our correspond. and rebecca ritter's is in key if and has given us an update on the latest and the ukranian capital and the atrocities committed in the town of boucher. yeah, monica, her butcher really bore the brunt of some of the worst atrocities we've seen, or at least in the cave region. or we were there yesterday as you say, and talking to people who've survived that horrific occupation. they're, they're clearly shell shocked. as you can imagine, i mean people, they're trying to get on with their lives. but obviously, finding that very difficult, something that surprised me was how quickly that city is being claimed up in the scenes that we saw of all those burnt out tankers and munitions in the street that

has all almost gone. and obviously the buildings are still destroyed. all the shops are burnt out and looted, and many of the houses are destroyed too, but the streets itself have have been cleared up and the bodies counted and collected, and we spoke to people. 11 gentleman showed me in the backyard in a makeshift grave where that they had dug for his wife's cousin. the body had, has now been zoomed and just yesterday they were on the way to give him a proper burial. these people have been through the most horrific instances, as you can imagine, and people are trying to pick up the pieces of their lives, but so many destroyed the scars on that city are going to remain for some time yet . yeah, and of course, russian troops have only just recently retreated from areas around cuba. now moscow is already threatening to target the city again or had there been strikes since

ukraine is preparing for renewed strikes on the capital. as you say, yesterday, i saw a strike on a munitions factory about 15 kilometers from where i'm standing right now. and this morning mer vitale. clinico has announced that there were also some attacks on the left bank of the city. key of is, is cut into by the need to river on the left bank in a suburban area. there were some attacks in the early hours of the morning, apparently details yet to emerge of what exactly was the target there, or whether there were any casualties. and the sirens have been sounding overnight early this morning, and even not long before we came to air. so, so definitely a city that is preparing, but you know, i don't know whether you can see behind me. i'm standing right near made on square . there are sort of people trying to get on with their lives here as well as best they can. yeah, we are starting to see people out on the streets, some restaurants, reopening some non essential shops. it is definitely not anything like normal here in the capital, but people trying to get on with their lives, despite the situation going on. but definitely

a city that is preparing for potential renewed attacks in retaliation for certain attacks by the ukranian side, namely, a russian war ship that was sunk in the black sea. and something that moscow russia denies that it actually was done by ukrainian forces. the pentagon seems to think differently. that's right, a ukraine came out and said that, that it with the that boat that herb or that sea ship, sorry that tank a ship was actually sung by the, by their rockets, something that rush, russia said no, no, it was a fire on board and, and that lit up the munitions and in that and sank. it, it did, and russia has actually said that the ship has sunk, so they've agreed to that, but they didn't, they, they deny that it comes from ukrainian or ukrainian attack. but the pentagon has actually supported that and said that yes, it was indeed ukrainian or the attack that that sank that ship. so that is definitely a boost for the ukranian sy,

but something that will obviously see retaliation from the rush. right. rebecca written reporting for us from kia. thank you so much. rebecca take care. ukrainian troops have been digging in throughout eastern ukraine in anticipation off a new russian offensive military expects. our experts are predicting this refocused assault will be the largest and most brutal so far. meanwhile, 7 civilians were killed and at least 30 wounded by russians. shelling in the city of harkey on friday, a note to our viewers at this point. some of the images you're about to see are disturbing. nina shift jenko is crying for her dead son. impression that you haven't taken away. she begs him to open his eyes. and the boy's grandmother arrives. the paramedic tries to soothe her grief. ah, it was a rocket like this when the killed the 15 year old and dozens more civilians and

fried his attack. ah, the signs of the shelling litter this residential area, the injured law in the streets, were they filled with what in creek rune was also injured in the attack with cluster bombs exploded in the air about a 100 meters above our heads. we just felt a little push to spill alina, and her daughter's also just narrowly escaped death. to that unknown, there was an explosion. i tried to run it, it fell near me. i ran shot, it fell near me again. this, but shrapnel is flying and cracking. some woman, god bless her, covered me with her body. oh, it's okay. don't cry. it's fine. don't cry. my little one. no dish to alexandrovna also lost her son. sergey when shrapnel from

a russian rocket sprayed through a window in her apartment. as the body count rises, shock and sorrow turn to frustration and anger. story. the point is young, but what did this go to to the russian super or do i have to do? and what did a 12 year old boy do? a story. he was broadaway dead. did he do anything bad to them? like up to the what about the children who were injured here and women don't look at what about my friend who his killed? what did they do to those zillow? with whom should we make peace with these monstrous public storage in the blood. but as hearty was located just 40 kilometers from russia and a 160 kilometers from the separatist regions in the east of the prospect of peace for the strategically important cities. so it looks highly unlikely. oh, what are your for your muscle dumbest? and here are some other headlines on the war in ukraine. russia's foreign ministry

has announced moscow as barring british prime minister boris johnson and several other talk you k officials from entering the country. the retaliatory move comes off to london, imposed sanctions on russia. senior officials over the invasion of ukraine. ukraine in president vladimir lensky has called for a ban on russian oil to be part of the next round of sanctions against russia. in a new video address, the lensky also pushed to put a complete blockade of rushes banking sector, saying these are necessary steps to achieve peace over people in key have lined up at the main post office to buy a new postage stamp. it depicts a ukrainian soldier making a crude gesture to the russian warship, moscow, which sank on thursday. it references a notorious incident early in the war when a unit of ukrainian border guards refused to surrender to an order from the ship. on this that russian authorities have added 9 more prominent criminal critics to

its list of foreign agents. the list now includes youtube star, you re dos, a political scientist, a katerina schulman and journalist roman deborah hot off the movies, part of russia's ongoing efforts to silence. dissident the german government has said it is giving more than 1000000000 euros and military aid to ukraine. the funds are part of a 2000000000 increase in defense spending announced on friday. over half of that money will go to the european piece facility, an organization which purchases weapons for ukraine. the move follows heavy criticism of german chancellor will have shoulds for his hesitancy to send heavy weapons to ukraine and spring and dw political correspondent, a benjamin alvarez gruber, who is at one of germany so called easter marches for peace. here in berlin, benjamin chancellor sholtes is now making this big financial concession. will this be enough to silence?

critics many say it's important step in the direction of further supporting ukraine financially and also work finance minister christian lintner pledged with this additional help saying that most of it will go to ukraine. but many critics, waterman, 2 things will continue demanding 2 things on one side of the embargo when it comes to oil and gas from russia or sending heavy weapons to ukraine, that germany has not pledged yet. so why is that? i mean, as you just mentioned, ukraine's i have repeatedly asked for heavy weaponry, a heavy military equipment. but germany seems to be happy to pay for weapons, but not deliver them. why not? that's right. the criticism is mounting. also within the government, there was a delegation that met with ukraine and official saying the would reward ukraine needs. now our heavy weapons and even foreign minister on alina bab during a recent meeting and luxembourg, also sat,

that heavy weapons are needed. also implying that germany should also him also give them, but german chancellor, all of shoals, as at the germany, has supported will support and also will further is support in ukraine, but has not specifically mentioned a weapons defense minister casino. lumley said that that has one reason that the enemy is also listening, and that if germany is going to supply these weapons, it will not talk about it now. and of course, sir, and then there's also pressure mounting her from the other direction. i mean, you are at one of germany's east marches. it's a political pacifist protester that's going back to the 19th sixty's, anti nuclear protest and force it, do you get the sense that this war in ukraine is having any impact on this movement? and, and how was been perceived it definitely has a huge impact. you just mentioned, this was a move mother was really big of the ninety's sixty's 19 eighties,

calling for disarmament. especially also nuclear disarmament. but that has changed, that has as shifted a. but when we look at this protest right behind me, that's been criticism because they say that one of the reasons that this war occurred is also due to the nato expansion. so for them this, the stance of being peaceful and not sending weapons of being against the special fund. for the bonus, for his aunt in criticism, not only by organizers that are organizing an alternative piece, protest here in berlin with syrian and also with ukranian activists. calling for weapon, saying that you can also be a pacifist in coal for the and while also supplying and pledging to supply these weapons for ukraine. and this criticism has also been from within the government. we had vice chancellor, hold that topic, saying that these pro to should be the criticism of this grown to should be pointed towards or vladimir protein and the war. so we're seeing an incredible,

a very interesting shift in german politics. not only when it comes to supplying this weapon, but also on this discourse on the discussion, what it means to be a pacifist. and if just standing by from the side lines and seeing how russia continues it to attack, ukraine will be, will be enough to get a piece again with many saying that if you actually one piece and you actually want to support ukraine, they need more than just solidarity on social media, they need either this oil and gas embargo that i mentioned earlier, all delivery of heavy weapons that ukraine and president of odom volatile mir soleski has repeatedly asked for did all the political correspondence, benjamin alvin. his group of their reporting from one of germany's easter mar, chest a pacifist political movement in times of a war with ukraine. thank you so much. and watching d. w knew this, and he has a reminder of our top story. ukraine. police say more than 900 bodies have been recovered in the area round kia following the withdrawal of russian troops. this

double is the number of debt announced by ukrainian authorities almost 2 weeks ago . and shelling in ukraine 2nd city hard cave has killed at least 7 civilians and wounded another. 30 harkey is in the east of ukraine, where russia is expected to launch a major offensive in watching dw, and usa for me and the team in glenn. thanks for watching with store to know when spoken intimidation and transformed into an orgy of hate and violence. the history of the ku klux klan,
