you pool. now, what's the latest that you've heard from there? yeah, that's right. that sir. surrender, or di order given by the russians to the ukrainians. they gave the time window of 1300 local time. that has now passed, they said they would show no mercy to the ukrainian soldiers if they didn't have that warning. now, it's really difficult to get real time information out of mary paul. as we know, all communication is largely cut to the city. there are no journalists there, but the as of battalion, this last stronghold, these be the battalion that there is in that as of steel plan. as you were just reporting there. the last a sort of strong hold of the ukrainians. they have said they will from the very beginning they've been saying that they will not surrender. they're going to fight to the end at very hard to imagine that they're heating that warning that city has been under constant bombardment. now since the beginning of this war. and though the russians have all but destroyed the city and you know it is a key target for the mere tactically and territorial toria lee. and they are also

fighting to the enter remains to be seen whether or not they will succeed, whether that city will fall. but at this stage, it is looking likely. now ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, he warned that the peace talks would end if the russian troops executed the ukrainian troops that remaining in that city. it looks like they haven't complied with the the, the order to surrender. so what does this mean now for the future of the war? well, president zalinski said that if stir russians kill those remaining sold as in mary paul, then the peace talks would die with them. but in, in reality, those piece talks have, have stalled, have been on hold since the russians retreated from areas just north of here, here and the true atrocities of what happened to under russian occupation came to light. so the peace talks have stalled regardless. and one thing that we have heard

is that russian oligarchy, roman abram, of which appears to be in cave, in talking to the ukrainian delegation, to try to resuscitate those piece talks, remains to be seen, whether he'll be successful. and of course, the events in mary you pull over the coming hours and days will certainly determine whether or not they're able to get back on track. now russia has also intensified a detox across the country even in the capital key of where you are. so what is the current situation there? well, this is a city you know, trying to get on with life as normal as possible under the really difficult circumstances with adding urges in front of made on square site of the 2014 protests. it's normally a busy tourist attraction, or it is much quieter today. the sunday we are seeing people come out in the streets though, and we are seeing some shops opens non essential shops and restaurants. these people are trying to get on with life as best they can. but to mid vitale clinico, the mayor of care has warn people not to return to the city. he said they are

preparing for intensified attacks on the capital. and we've seen signs of that already over the weekend. a couple of attacks to yesterday the day before, both on ammunition, factories are on the outskirts of the city, about 15 kilometers from where i'm standing and this morning in the early hours. another attack was reported in a suburb just east or a sort of an area. if you like, the satellite city, east of cave, it remains to be seen exactly what the target was. russian say, it was another munitions factory, but we're also here. that's it. miss. i was in fact intercepted and it was in fact, a shilling. so difficult to get a concrete information about that, but definitely a city that is once again under attack. now, as i've heard from so many people in ukraine, they're just living day to day. seems to be still the case and key of their d. w correspondent rebecca readers. thank you. here are some of the other developments in the war and ukraine. the russian navy

has held a ceremony in the crimean city of sebastopol for the sunk flagship of its black sea fleet. the most goble went down after a fire appears to have ignited munitions. ukraine says its forces hit the vessel with missiles. now russia denies that also saying its crew members got off the ship safely. european commission president was to the fun. the lion has announced that the you will be sanctioning more russian banks, which a new sanctions includes bareback russia's largest, which has so far been spared. john wonderland said that the you is also working on quote clever mechanisms to include oil sanctions light of might dominate in his easter sunday address. pope francis has urged world leaders to hear the calls for peace. and what he described as an easter of war. pontiff told the 10s of thousands of people gathered at saint peter's square that the world needed love and reconciliation. now more than ever and reference to several conflicts around the

world, he described the fighting in ukraine as quote, cruel and senseless. this was the 1st easter sunday mass with a crowd in 2 years due to the corona virus pandemic. for more, let's bring in d. w. religious fairs analysts martin gac martin the pope's easter address this year comes at a time of crisis in europe. what did he say about that? well, i mean, i think it has had a very strong diplomatic harm that it has exercise in, in order to try to bring peace to the for and conflict regions. i think it was somewhat unexpected that the pope would be talking or that the vatican would be concentrating its efforts in europe. and most of what we heard, it's actually a plea for peace and a plea for essentially, for unity, unity, brotherly brother, to unity across europe. particularly in the face of a possible escalation and this was actually this loom quite large. and in the

speech in which the pope actually warned offense collation becoming really form of violence that could potentially not be stop and could have enormously devastating effects for human kind. he said, now there's the pope's opinion on this war matter to russia, or is he just preaching to the choir? as you could say, look, i mean it's, it's extremely difficult to say, how is it that moscow is receiving? what have been increasingly critical, you know, a centrally messages from, from the vatican. the vatican has been quite clear over the last 3 weeks. although at the beginning it actually did take a much lower approach condemning moscow precisely because they have a very strong diplomatic approach to conflict. and they have a very broad, sort of a very broad muscle or a very large diplomatic muscle. know the vatican has become much clear to the criticism. it's not really clear that you know, the kremlin cares at all. what is that?

that is said in rome, but it is quite clear that the criminal understands how broad the base of the vatican enough. the catholic churches, including not only inside the ukraine, inside the ukraine, but also inside russia. i want to talk about the pope health as well because on saturday he attended the easter vigil mass, but he didn't lead it. and some think that's because of leg pain. what, what do you know about this? it is mostly speculation, but this is precisely the, the rumor that is circulating that you know, he has, his knee problem has prevented him from leading saturday evening where he had to be mostly standing for about 3 hours. today. he started actually we said database, which he did lead the mass this morning. he started standing the, the speech with the database, but actually halfway through he sat down. so, you know, i mean, this does not seem to be a major health concern, but it does seem to be beating his movement and some of his offices, d,
