farmers they are trying to grow crops in a countryside, discard if i will. oh, lou, i'm all i was like a welcome to the program. we start with more military assistance for ukraine and a warning that rushes blood in me. putin will not win the war. u. s. president joe biden made that announcements in washington, dc and a major display of support for the ukranian government. this latest package of weapons shipments is worth $800000000.00. comes on top of the 2600000000. the u. s . as already delivered to ukraine biden says the package would contain heavy weaponry that keith says it desperately needs. today, i'm announcing another $800000000.00 to further augment you his ability to fight in

the east in the dom moss region. this package includes heavy artillery weapons, dozens of howitzers, and $144000.00 rounds of ammunition to go with those howitzers. it also includes more tactical drones, dw washington correspondents to me, some a scan that took a look at this new package and centers this update. president biden in washington announcing another $800000000.00 package of aid for ukraine. any detail what that would include more weapons, including howitzers, a tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, tactical drones, as he said, he also pointed out that the u. s. has already supplied plenty of anti armor systems that have been, as he said, particularly effective against russian tanks. and he pointed out as well that us intelligence with what he's continued to share their information with ukraine to help the country defend itself. so that was the core message from president biden, how it will help you crane. but he also made clear that this package of aide is

tailored specifically, especially with the type of weapon supplied here to help you crane defend the east where russia has now ramped up this offensive. in recent days. it's a very different battlefield to that of the cities like here where you've seen urban warfare. a force is holding defenses on the outskirts of the city. now person by saying the topography of the east of ukraine presents a very different challenge and that this package is going to significantly aid that effort according to his administration. a lot of money being spent on ukraine here . and there is still broad support for these measures. from the american public, in fact, there was a pole recently done by the associated press showing that 54 percent of americans think president biden has actually not been tough enough in his response to russia . so the support is broad there. what will be interesting to watch, to observe as, as inflation continues to store at the gas pumps at the grocery stores, here in the u. s. how long that support for the war will extend as the work continues on into its 3rd month now?

correspondence to me, so musk under in washington are joe biden, also said there is no evidence that mario paul has fallen to russia. it comes off the moscow claimed victory. they're saying russian forces have quote, successfully liberated the port city in south east and ukraine. some 2000 soldiers and 1000 civilians are still believed to be holding out inside the vast as of styles steel plants in the city cave as demanding moscow opened the humanitarian corridor to let civilians leave. president putin called off plans to storm the complex instead. in a televised meeting, he told his defense minister to completely seal off the area are report now on the steel plant that has become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. the vast as of style steel plant, seen hair and footage from russian state television, ukrainian forces are holding out inside, muddy you, full,

has witnessed nearly 2 months of heavy fighting with much of the strategic port in ruins. president putin has claimed a victory in the city and told his defense minister to seal off its defenders in their last stronghold, particularly by considered the proposed storming of the industrial area pointless by order to aborted emotionally. there is no need to climb into these catacombs and crawl under ground through these industrial facilities block off this industrial area is obligatory to so that not even a fly can get through. we never succeed in dominating but in washington. u. s. president joe biden dismissed putin's claims. it's questionable whether he does control. one thing for sure. we know about variable. he should allow your manager in corners to let people on that steel mill and other places are buried under rumble to get out to get out. that's what any, any,

any head of state would do in such a circumstance. and so there is no evidence yet that mary paused completely fall. ukrainian authorities have also urged moscow to open humanitarian car doors to allow those sheltering in the heavily bombarded as of style plant to flee. these pictures provided by the plants defenders show some of the hundreds of civilians and said to be sheltering and bunkers below the steelworks. but previous efforts to organize evacuations from either you will have heard little success. some $100000.00 residents are thought to still be living among the rooms. in cave ukrainian president holiday made it to landscape speaking alongside his spanish and danish counterparts remains defined in the face of russia. the soldiers announced that they will bring more weapons to you. i know that they've captured

these most of my you, paul, a long time ago, we were very aware of that. but there is a part of our city where our service men remain and they'll stay there for now. a book issue when they come solar science with no surrender planned by those blockaded in the as of style steel plant. there is growing concerned that those trapped inside could starve. let's get a closer look now at how things have changed on the ground in ukraine. this week has dw reporter jo delroy to phillip in this week, ukraine's president declared that the battle for the don bass had begun. russia also acknowledged that a new phase in its operations was now focusing on the important industrial region to the east. now since 2014 russian back separatists have controlled parts of the dawn bass, mainly the regions of done it and new hands while russia has also occupied crimea.

now, russian forces control an arc of territory connecting the breakaway regions to crimea, and cutting ukraine off from the sea of resolve. in the latest development this week, russia intensified its efforts to take more territory across the don boss. a launched a battery of thousands of air and artillery attacks on many points along the front line. now us analysts say they believe that russia appears to be trying to encircle ukrainian forces in this pocket here between its territories, by one estimate up to 40000 ukrainians may be position there and that's about 20 percent of the known forces. now these ukranian units are, it's, we expected to put up quite a fight because they have been well practiced in fighting separatists here for years. russia on the other side, is estimated to have up to $70000.00 troops across the se, including units which retreated after failing to take the capital keith. but some western analysts believe that russian forces are not ready for this new offensive.

they say they appear to be rushing to attack without proper training preparation, or supply lines. and this week's bombings are being seen as a test by russia to find weaknesses in the front line before attempting to move any tanks or troops. ford, ukraine continues to call for more weapons from western countries to try and hold the russians back. that was d. w is joel delroy reporting. pressure is growing on germany to speed up shipments of weapons to help you crane fight russian forces. the government aaron berlin says it is repairing an arm, swore with fellow e u. n. nature members, slovenia on the deal, slovenia would send a large number of tanks to ukraine to replace these germany would provide slovenia with tanks from its own supplies. germany is already sending military aid to the ukrainian army, but it has faced criticism for not giving details on those shipments.
