just the prelude to a new assault on the strategically important city. just 40 kilometers from the russian border. far to the southeast brushing forces gather for a new offensive on another key target. mother, you pull the port city has been besieged for weeks. now moscow says it's defenders have been forced back to hear the giant ads of style, industrial district juggles. go to diploma into urban areas. mariposa has been completely cleared the militants of the nazi formation as obamacare. only corn must reason ukrainian troops. i'll spell the remnants of the ukrainian group a blocked and the territory of the as of storm metallurgical plant visuals. and the only chance to save their lives is voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender. the little world was we got over is thoughtful. ukrainian,

president zalinski warned that russia risks jeopardizing further peace talks, michigan. thus, she hopes of winning the elimination of our troops. the shoe of our men and mary, a pull, will put an end to any negotiations, wonderful style at the captain of budget, for a month or more with mud you poles. last offenders cut off and russian forces post to strike ukrainian sphere. the city may well soon finally fall or corresponded rebecca readers as in key if we asked her if the window from mario paul to surrender had definitively closed. 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 heed that warning. now,

it's really difficult to get real time information out of mary to poll. as we know, all communication is largely cut to the city. there are no journalists there, but the as off battalion, this last stronghold, these be the battalion that her 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 there have been saying that they will not surrender. they are gonna fight to the end to 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 tori 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, she warned that the peace talks would end if the russian troops executed ukrainian

troops though remaining in that city. it looks like are 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 alleged, he said that if the russians kill those remaining sold as in mary paul, then the pace talks would die with them. but in, in reality, those piece talks have stalled, have been on hold since the russians retreated from areas are just north of here, here, and the true atrocities of what happened 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

its attacks across the country, even in the capital key of where you are. so what is the current situation there? well, a, this is a city you know, trying to get on with life as normal as possible under the really difficult circumstances with adding or just in front of maiden 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 sir, mid vitale, clinico the mayor of cave 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 ammunitions factories are on the outskirts of the city, about 15 kilometers from where i'm standing and this morning in the early hours. and now the attack was reported in a suburb just east or a sort of an area,

if you like, the satellite city, east of keep it remains to be seen exactly what the target was. russian say it was another munitions factory. but we're also hearing that miss all was in fact intercepted and it was in fact a shelling, so difficult to get concrete information about that. but definitely a city that is once again under attack it was d w rebecca readers and kia for us. now here's a look at 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. ukraine says the most of our went down when it hit the vessel in a missile strike. russia blames an on board fire and says its crew evacuated safely . european commission, president whistle a founder, lion, says brussel, brussels will sanction more russian banks. the new measure is target the biggest

spare bank, which has so far been spared stronger the european union is also planning oil sanctions made. teachers leaders say schools in germany could see up to a quarter 1000000 new students. as young people flee the war and ukraine, an estimated 40000 and school age children are already here. many schools are setting up welcome classes to help the newcomers adjust. that is that your pocket calculator? yes, it is my pocket calculator. now altogether pocket calculator. it's a new language and a new life. these teenagers that lessing high school fled ukraine after rushes invasion, 3 weeks into their german education. things seem to be going well. i've had them at the vogue, i guess you could say that the welcoming class really did make things easy for me to begin with. so i've seen what happens in similar situations where the students

haven't yet learned to read or write, and where they can speak any english. and that tends to make communication much, much more difficult. but it's not a problem in this class, and if it's in dex epa. gov if thought being able to speak english means they can easily talk with their german classmates for our ability vets, ally their stories familiar. she is a refugee who arrived in germany 30 years ago from casa voe. she knows the importance of being able to communicate to dain opportunity to leave the classroom, to learn about herbs. yeah, i really like this school because the the system of education in ukraine in germany are completely different as her me like talk more. usually when we are in ukraine, we like her read and doesn't screw right. very much. while instilling

the importance of learning german to the new arrivals, i re barry is aware of the pressures the refugees are already under ah, the half of my family are still in ukraine. my father and my grandfather and my uncles are as her and i, but we are calling each other. but it's really hard to think about it. so far these youngsters have settled into their school. but with more young refugees arriving in germany. teachers are all too aware that there may be much bigger challenges ahead. no, pope frances has urged world leaders to heed calls for peace. and what he described as an easter of war. the pontiff told tens of thousands gathered in saint peter's square and rome that the world needs love and reconciliation. now more than ever. so he called the fighting and ukraine, a quote,

cruel and senseless war. it was the 1st easter sunday mass with a crowd since the start of the pandemic. people who did young earlier i spoke to dw religious fairs analysis analyst martin gac for an analysis of the pope's address. well, i mean, i think it has had a very strong diplomatic harm that it has exercise in order to try to bring peace to the for conflict regions. i think it was somewhat unexpected that the pope would be talking about and 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 you know, unity, unity, brotherly, brother, 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 were, and if escalation, becoming really form of violence that could potentially not stop and could have

enormously devastating effects for human kind. he said, now does 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, but essentially messages from, from the vatican domestic and has been quite clear over the last 3 weeks. although at the beginning it actually did take a much lower approach to condemning moscow precisely because they have a very strong diplomatic approach to conflict and they have a very broad, it's sort of a very broad muscle are very large, but diplomatic muscle know the vatican has become much clear as to the criticism. it's not really clear that, that you know, the criminal incurs at all. what is that? that is said in rome, but it is quite clear that the criminal understands how brought the base of the vatican enough. the catholic churches, including not only inside the ukraine,

inside ukraine, but also inside russia. i want to talk about the pope's 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? this mostly speculation, but this is precisely the rumor that is circulating that you know, he has, he's ne problem has prevented him from leading saturday evening where he had to be mostly standing for about 3 hours today. he started actually though to he said, thought of it, which he did lead the mass this morning. he started standing the, the speech res authorities, but actually half way 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 bidding his movement and some of his offices that was d, they'll be religious fairs, analyst martin, gac talking to me earlier today. here's
