soldiers may have left a pin, but this is a city that been left in ruins. there isn't a building we can say that doesn't at least bear some scars of the war and many a ruined beyond repair. residents find some comfort in cleaning up, but live in fear of the russians returning. ah, hello everyone, i am landmark. thank you so much for joining us. we begin with breaking development said sermon chest. the olaf schultz has delivered an unequivocal message of support for ukraine that says western allies will stop short of any direct involvement in the war. speaking after talks with other leaders, mister schultz sharply criticized russia's latest offensive in easton ukraine and

blamed president vladimir putin for war crimes against civilians. mister shows said there was a consensus that russia must not win the war, but that nato cannot be involved. them the bay club, replied fidel, our principles are clear. elaine, everyone agrees on them to be complied. ukraine continues to have our full solidarity and support at the same time as heads of state and government. it's our duty to prevent the war from spreading to other countries that hinder, therefore, nato does not want to and cannot intervene directly in the war. and that's how it will remain. everyone agrees on that. our policy is guided by these principles are maximum support of ukraine, but no need to involvement in the war, but kind of tied in there. now 2 of them are political correspondence. simon young followed that press conference with their chance socials for us, and he gave me this assessment of what the chance sir said well,

i know he made it very clear that he's very focused along with other western leaders on the situation in ukraine. he described the ne russian offensive in the don bass in east of ukraine as a new phase in the war. and as you've said, he spoke of a solidarity, the solidarity of all germany with the ukraine, with the ukranian people. he talked about unity among the allies among the nato countries, and he said that they would continue to do all they could militarily and financially to support ukraine. nonetheless, i think there may will be some disappointment, a key and because he didn't offer either of the 2 big things that the government of ukraine had been asking for, namely, heavy military weapons and also a complete stop on the russian energy imports. let's talk a little bit about that, the kind of weapons that germany is delivering. what are they currently sending to

ukraine? well, so far they say they've st. anti tank weapons and also anti aircraft weapons and other things like, you know, nights, vision, equipment and other types of what you might describe as personal use military hardware. and what they haven't done the same to, you know, big pieces of artillery big tanks, helicopters, which is what, some other nations, for instance, the u. s. u. k. and poland, for instance. and now doing. that's what president lensky has been asking for. that's what he says will make the crucial difference. so when chancellor shalt talks about making it possible for the ukrainian military to defend their country. well, he also asked to answer which he hasn't done so far. how they can do that with just the support they're getting from germany,

simon. so information support for ukraine, no change in security policy and no involvement of nato. thus right, i think the non involvement of nato is clearly continuing policy because there's the fear that nato became a warring party, the war could spread. and also potentially vladimir putin could be tempted to escalate it somehow. for instance, with a nuclear strike or something like that. so that policy continues, but i think there is an argument within that within the g 7 of how quickly you know, they can ramp pop and really back the ukrainian defense effort. i mean, i've showed himself says it's a russian objective now to take control of the integrity of ukraine. that's what he said today. well, you know, more support is definitely going to be needed from outside ukraine. if that effort is going to be resisted. simon young d w,

follicle correspondence reporting. thank you very much, simon. on the ground, russia stepping up, it's bad all for a control of ukraine's industrial heartland. officials on both sides are calling it a new phase of the 7 week or areas marked in blue. in this map are already under russian control. after days of regrouping, vladimir prudence forces have launched a full scale offensive with thousands of troops in the east and dumbass region. and a new frontline marked in red stretches along hundreds of kilometers. recent weeks have seen russia suffer humiliating setbacks around the capital. keith. the kremlin now says seizing don bass is the main goal of its so called special military operation. shots fired on the front line. ukraine says these are some of the opening salvos in rushes offensive in the east. in footage, released by the ukrainian defense ministry troops to say they are ready to defend
