visits from friends who support ukraine. so deeply fantasy militia visorio, we are also protecting our democracy, our freedom, and our way of life. in germany as well. industrial mounts began the day by visiting epin, a suburb of keith. here as the man told him, the fighting was fiercest to the fort. it's also way cranium. forces stopped the russian advance on the way to the capitol. he walked, spin, falleth, how are i'm full of sorrow, but the numerous casualties that happened here, but also at the same time all full of admiration for what the army, the ukrainian soldiers achieved here though, darted on jordan, utilized without mounts, is following a simple strategy with his trip, he's trying to put pressure on the german government. he thinks it's already worked with heavy weapons deliveries. german media have reported that the government had decided to give artillery from the armies own stalks to ukraine, but mounts his walking a tightrope on one hand, his opposition leader on the other,

a supporter of the government. during wartime. a few days ago, he attacked the lack of action by the chancellor in the german parliament. that one is constantly, well, what the weeks the chancellor has stoled left open and evaded answering the question of where the weapons should be delivered ukraine or not? oh, why didn't but unfold? oh, love sholtes has tried to turn the tables mats, his trip to ukraine was really a mission on behalf of the government or so schoultz has subtly implied, said an essence of them. firstly, he told me about his request and i had no objection and i approve of it and he get up. and secondly, so we will of course, talk afterwards about what he has to tell me quicker than that no government official has yet visited ukraine. is a point of contention in the coalition. as the deputy chancellor robert hobbit has made clear version of his own shows, i was now position. i would have also gone to you granger so that we as the government have not yet gone there, as the chance, as explained,

is essentially due to the fact that in the presence invitation was revoked on. but there will be a solution to that. we continuing to discuss it on monday. if the chancellor work visit mounts be quick to claim it is a when he announced on his trip the now also wants to help clear up the reasons for shots. his reluctance to travel to keep you, they did it. the european commission president has called on the you to ban oil imports from rochelle to go. them was la underlying address the european parliament in strasburg. she outlined a 6 package of sanctions against moscow over its worn ukraine and called for a phased embargo on russian oil imports by the end of this year. and his ward from the line had to say to day, we are addressing our dependency on russian oil. and let's be clear, it will not be easy because some member states are strongly dependent on rational oil. but we simply have to do it. so today we will propose to

ban all russian oil from europe. this will be this will be a complete import ban on all russian oil seaborne and pipeline crude and refined. we will make sure that we phase out russian oil in an orderly fashion. so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and at the same time, be very careful that we minimize the impact on the global market. and this is why we will phase out russian supply of crude oil within 6 months. and we find products by the end of the year was left on the line speaking. then let's cross over to w, corresponding multinational, susan strasburg, at the meeting of european parliament. marina. how effective can this you,

orland bog on russia, beaver? it's not in place till the end of the year. it depends on who you ask. of course, if you asked the european commissioner was the laugh on the line that you g a you commission chief, which has heard then of course, she said it is efficient and it will put pressure on there. and the russian economy who is heavily dependent on the experts of oil and gas, of course, but also the, the e commerce, you commission officials, it's mids, that are, they don't know how a protein, how the russian president will react to this span. and what he did in the last couple of months was very unpredictable. so there is a risk, for example, that he just cuts of some e o countries of gas them supplies, or of oil supplies, like he did with bulgaria and poland just recently there. and then when you talk to members of the european parliament, there also some major concerns. the 1st concern is why don't we are. so let us cut

off gas if we have already oil and be more dependent on gas, so also cut it off. otherwise, we just transfer so much money to russia, which it uses to finance it's boar. and then the other concern is that due to add the e o ban on oil prices of fuel of energy, it will rise in europe and all over the world. and that could actually help pressure because it could sell is oil for a much higher price on the world market. and that was left on the line. also propose some other sanctions. what other yes, especially in the sanctions or she targeted this bare bank, which is a rush, us largest bank, and she proposed to d swifter. so to take it off day a swift financial transaction system. then another measure she proposed was to target military officials involved in the atrocities in boucher and in mary a pool

. and then also a 3 russian medias are to be a band from european a landscape like the commissioner that you did before with a sputnik and russia to day. and that you, a commissioner also wants to target consultants in europe who advise russia. now this is only a proposal when will all this be decided? it's always absolute. the ear countries in the end. so now the countries, the 27 members states are discussing these proposals. we're not expecting any major changes, but it could take a few days until they decide and then it will enter into force. thank you very much . did i? because one of the national out there in the hospital for us and out of the fighting on the ground in ukraine, russian air strikes have hit, levine, cutting power and water supply. 2 parts of the western ukrainian city close to the

was the 1st time since the beginning of the russian aggression against ukraine, doubts, a messiah that was fired into k patient or montana into a province offers. i can patch out where impacted a communist building. now russia says it strives, our targeting supply routes of western arms. how significant is this damage for ukraine's weapons logistics? while it seems indeed that those are very targeted as tracks here in leave at the head of the military, our district also said to me to region, also, it is sad data did change, supply was affected by does tribes because the heat re weigh infrastructure and nearby humanitarian supplies from western allies to ukraine, so that those strategic tracks do affect are not on the humanitarian supplies better. so a military infrastructure for dose, though, it's quite complicated for us journalists to get access to the military size,

or if they are, or you know, if they are indeed targeted. because of course, the ukranian auto. it is and do not strategically. wanted to reveal the extent of the damage that is caused by the current strikes. now am i fighting is most intense in the south, and the east of the country is either side making significant gains there. what are you hearing? well, a british intelligence, so warned earlier today that there was a regroup and of, or a regrouping off a russian or the russian army in the north, east, towards climate taurus, ken, et cetera. don't ask in the northern and ethan parts of ukraine. so there they said there were a fear that there would be a new attack there. oh, so from the russian side we hearing that day, they say that they are attacking the others as t plans again, as so this try continuing her to wage mostly in the eastern part of the country.
