[000:00:00;00] ah ah, business news alive from berlin, the long wait on ukraine's front line, russia looking to step up, it's attacks or assaults on south and east and ukraine, visits ukrainian forces us the face down enemy troops also coming out the doomsday plane of moscow rushes on nuclear command post take spot in preparations for an oil big days and abrasions correspondence tells us it could be

a warning to the west. ah, america junior is the name welcome to the program in ukraine is brazen for escalades and attacks. it's believed russia was a show of force and it's war asked to pass the markets the 3 day holiday on may 9th . but more than 2 months into the conflict ration offensive is stalling in the face of ukrainian arrests. that resistance key says it's force as of now killed more than 25000 russian troops and number that has not been independently verified. russia as a parent go now is to capture you queens south on the east, but it hasn't made any major gains in these areas in recent days. did of use that might yes. belinda is embedded with the ukranian army on the front line. yeah. because i live in the south where rushes forces being kept at bay for more than 3 weeks,

the ukrainian and russian soldiers have been standing with an eyesight of each other, a few kilometers outside of mac alive. when there it is, and at 1 o'clock to help us too much at night, we can see the outgoing fire. the russian troops came in here in the beginning of the war and were then driven out by the ukrainians. now their positions are about 5 kilometers that way when you come up with they are digging themselves in deeper. initially, the russians were advancing quickly. they were able to capture her son, but here a little over 20 kilometers from the center of mac alive. they were stopped. michelle, suppose we are now in position when they are also in the trenches. they've been here before. and so they have dug themselves in well. and now shooting from their positions community lead. the war has changed. initially, the russians were advancing,

straightforward with massive troops and equipment. the ukrainians were ambushing them small mo bile attack groups for 3 weeks. now both sides are in a war of attrition. nice them out and it was come on with. this is one of our helicopter, the work, the only out. you can see the smoke over there with the soldiers say that especially at night shelling is intense when nicholas on trying to out gun out like quantity. oh, that's what it's not working on him. they might still hope to get past us, but they weren't the ukrainian soldiers. he say that they are ready to move forward as soon as they're ordered to. but for now, each side is stuck where they are. let's now cross over to our correspondence manufacture in chief. hallo,

funnier. they are reports that russian military is stepping up. attacks in preparation for the may, 9th victory parade. so air raid sirens out more common. what more can you tell us? as you're speaking right now, we're just hearing that new air strikes ah, it being encountered in odessa, according to ukraine. information obviously already strikes. aware witness there earlier today. but what's really interesting, bizarre, even for me, like in the lead up to the beginning of this food getting based on february 24th and recovering from here from key of the kind of a very similar a feeling. i like something is in there. this is, this is what it feels like right now in the lead up to you. i may age and may, 9th, may, 9th, obviously, when russia celebrates their victory, but it was then soviet union over there, not to germany in 2nd world war. so yes, definitely people have this feeling out maybe, and this is and in fact goes with presidents. and as you pointed out in an emotional address yesterday, online,

the people should take these air raid sirens seriously and go and seek shelter. because obviously with the war on going now in the 3rd month, some people say, okay, i've heard that before. i don't think something is going to happen and they just simply ignore it. so certainly i had all those celebrations by russia in any part of ukraine. people are a bracing fool fool for strong offence if they, even though you do not know if this is actually likely to happen or not. so bracing for strong offensive now, while russia attacks continue, your greens military says it has killed more than $25000.00 russian soldiers. how reliable is the figure bluntly, bluntly put really briefly. it's not reliable in terms of it's not an independent source. obviously, information in any will is used, but also misused by any side that's being involved, potentially misuse to for different reasons. obviously to bolster the moral. i'm on

soldiers as i say, this is the 3rd month into this war. so, but the ukrainian government saying your resistance is successful because so and so many people send so many soldiers, russian soldiers have been killed is, of course, was away to tell the soldiers, staples, they are, make sure that you continue this fight. you need to keep up your spirit, but no, we do not know whether this number is correct, just like you do not know what it's correct to say that on the russian side, that many ukrainian soldiers have been killed. but as i say it's, it's the numbers, obviously that politically are being used in a way to increase that moral spirit, however, was quite interesting. in this context is the president's landscape. she pointed out yesterday, if those people who are trapped in as of saw steel plant, a, the civilians but also the soldiers who are hold up, they are, if they're being killed. if instead they could release that any peace deal is basically obsolete or any, any attempt to form a peace deal with russia is obsolete. this is quite, i want to given the fact that as we're speaking,

unfortunate people are being wounded and killed right now. and ukraine did of you correspondence, funny for shy and keith. thank you very much. now, 2 other developments and the conflict ukraine's military house released footage of what it says is a drawing strike on the russian london vessel on snake island in the black sea video. also shows an attack on it. building ukraine says was useful store in missiles, no details having provided about when the strikes occurred. authorities in italy have impounded the luxury yacht linked to russian president vladimir putin. the $700000000.00 best. so have been undergoing repairs to port in just any recent activity suggest that the crew might be repairing to sale. green attached it to the to seize the yacht as part of europe, white sanctions on woodson and his associates. the meeting, the united nations security council has adopted

a resolution express and consent of our ukraine on back in efforts to find a peaceful solution is the council's 1st statement that's been met with russian support since the war began. i had of the meeting with st as including ukrainians, and they've been in the u. s. for tested against violence. and as we mentioned, may, 9th is victory day in russia. mike, in the soviet union's role in defeating nazi germany in world war to president putin will need the celebrations, which include the military i read in moscow. you see an images of today's operations which include that the so called doomsday plain brushes, or nuclear command post put in. we'll be looking to use the pump on pageantry of the day to put a positive spin on his war in ukraine despite the russian military sluggish campaign there. we can speak now with that,

vladimir all while dw russia says hello vladimir. that parade has been re, has 4 days. what would the 9th of may be like? says russia hasn't had the trial in ukraine, that it's hopeful. well, they're mind, 9th. it's the biggest national holiday in russ. it's their day in the country. it's unite of the whole society. no matter how you see the political leadership. so what we will see, the moral on the risk varying there. and in moscow, this made it that if i read this, saw for us in the speech of president bush and it's under the 1st part of the celebration, it's very different, very official part of the impression. but then after the parade, the human gotten all the russian russians feminists some have some connections sort of 2nd floor to or someone says relative growth. grandfather guns, mother who may be alive still. so they will be human, very human and very touching celebration. so the military operators on the 1st,

on the official part this year is of course a little bit different because in the, in the military conflict, the ukraine so called special me that information in the territory of the neighborhood, the neighboring country. so trying to destroy the military infrastructure of the crating of the korean government. and it will be interesting to see how vitamin, which really is the link to the what's happening in the ukraine and to the 2nd floor because i'm trying to use the anti nazi i diligence to use the 2nd world war now in the ukraine. yeah. so russia is poised to send a warning to the west by flying the doomsday plain. what message could that be sending? well, the message, it's quite bland. the message it's we are ready to go, but they were, it takes us 2 minutes from the russian government as i was in the bracket. and there is no for us in the work week which could stop us. i would say not is it?

it is, i understand there are some government, so just so forth. ok. clicking on this, what can we expect to hear from vladimir putin and i would expect any kind of connections between the history of the 2nd floor and what's happening in the ground and your grand. because are also trying to use the meter in the 2nd port as a justification for what the rest of the russian army doing, the new korean. it's dennis education of the country, which is like obviously for us and the best. and lord, it's kind of nonsense because ukraine is not gotten by and not there isn't anybody but russian government and russian, or it's just trying to use this as a justification for what's going on the new crane. and it will be interesting to hear how he will explain to link ok latin man, paul, from out the russia service. thank you. no rush. i was just one part of the soviet

union when it fought against nazi germany. ukraine was another and lost a large essay of its population than russia that 97 year old ivan listen, was one of the millions of ukrainians who stabbed in the soviet army. but this year the veteran has been left homeless by russian shelling in moscow. preparations already underway for the victory day parade for one ukrainian who quote, under the soviet flag they will be little to celebrate. even lesson was just 18 when he was drafted into the red army. he won metals for his role in liberating europe. from the nazi this, jeff said like, on wednesday night, the veterans home near keith was destroyed by russian shelling more collateral damage of the war. that moscow tries to justify, as a special operation to denotes if i ukraine, for the 97 year old who fought the real nazis. it's a bit to blow. like do you know?

it hurts a lot. what did we fight for? or what? what did we set free? your brute? did we deserve to grow old like this? that we fought for the liberation of ukraine. what you, what was, what were you gonna you despite his home destruction, he has no intention of leaving with it. and if i had the string pair would be the 1st to defend our country, i would stand alongside our troops. i have relatives in russia. they say we know nothing. how do they know nothing? and this is how we suffer now. so i have no pity for them while his house may be in ruins. the veteran spirit remains unbroken. he says he wants to stay and celebrate ukraine's eventual victory at home. here are some of the other stories in the headlines now. french precedent in manuel, my chrome has been sworn in for his 2nd term at the ceremony. at the elisa palace,
