the damage following another rush, an air strike, svetlana has come to collect belongings from what was once her home. god was that that didn't. how can i survive with that? this was my parents house. my sister was living here. i was living here. 2 people are homeless now and 2 of our neighbors were killed. yes, they're killing people. you get as ukrainian forces. go on the offensive intense battles in the eastern donates region. have seen front lines shifting village by village, 30 kilometers away in the town. of course danton yoga. vasily but looks, he says he ran to protect his 3 children who were sleeping in another room. when shelling began to civilians like these, it makes little difference whose ordinance is falling on their homes and schools are jealous also brooklyn, everything should be normal like it is for everybody else. so what can we do now?

who's guilty or i don't know. who should i blame for this? barrages of russian rockets also ran down on her cliff destroying civilian targets, including a museum, even as ukrainian forces around the city drove the russians back. numerous russian rockets also struck civilian targets in the port of odessa. some observers save vladimir putin once a symbolic victory to celebrate on may 9th, the day that russia commemorates victory over nazi germany at the end of world war 2. the as of style factory complex. last question of ukraine's forces in murder, your call looks like his most likely target. the last civilians had been trapped in the plants underground. bunkers have now been evacuated, and vast out of money will fall. president zalinski says he wants to negotiate safe passage out for all civilians who are still in the ruined city. and as we've mentioned, russia is preparing to hold its annual victory day celebrations. on monday to

martha anniversary of the soviet union's victory over nazi germany in world war 2, the event normally featuring huge parades of soldiers and military hardware. he w, asked people on the streets of moscow just how appropriate they think that is right now. oh yes, though, the victory parade for the great patriotic war is always appropriate. it's our history. but oh, well nobody should forget our ancestors triumph recorded. i'm going to see what military hardware is on, show you what we've got, but well, we still have but we're not private. we're not officers with his tradition. every year with traditions are important for our generation. that's why we need the parade. the parade is always called for, it's about remembering a student should we need before europe instead, never of us. why shouldn't it be appropriate? what does the 1945 victoria have to do with today?

we'll hook up the breed is appropriate. it's an occasion that deserve to be celebrated. the question is how we will, of course, events in ukraine are overshadowing everything. but remembering the past is important to argue. ukrainians were also part of the victory with they spoke earlier to detail these russia analyst constantine. i got and asked him how he expects the war in ukraine to affect those victory day celebrations in russia this year. when can i re, though it's quite interesting hearing these people speaking on the street so moscow and saying this is a big tradition. it isn't just during the holidays starting in mid sixty's, there was never a parade on this day. it was always a day off. well talk soto peace. and remember the soviet style of parading troops

and hardware along the red square is actually very much boot in saying it started slightly on the elton. but it's very much potent who developed it into this kind of the main main show of rocking military force and how you great is going to impact it. well, i think that switch and we'll have 2 other declare victory. of many people say, oh maybe there's another scenario he will threaten the west with some kind of doomsday scenario using russian nuclear forces, a rational being afraid to a face off with nato. this is the kind of rhetoric i'm pretty sure we can expect from him. and it's not well, nothing that we know at least that's where the rush of sources are saying, the russian official sources say in the fly pops over the red square, which is also traditional recent. yes. ok. one specific claim will participates in you should 80, which is a flying command post of the president in case of nuclear war. so judge the

symbolism by yourself. we are expecting a pretend to make a speech on monday. we'll be keeping an eye out for both of those. i want to ask you if this war on ukraine drags out, if we see increasing sanctions, do you think that will have an effect on the support that putin enjoys domestically? well, i think a lot of it is supportive ignorance, because people are bothered with propaganda. they don't really understand. a lot of them don't really understand what happens on the ground in the right. although there are those that feel that finally put in is basically getting even with the west for the collapse of the soviet union for the perceived humiliation after the end of the cold war. and i suppose that sanctions didn't know the bike that much because generally sanctions take a long time to have an impact. probably we can judge what kind of effect sanctions had on the russian society only by the end of this year. probably been given

a year off to the position of san jose and probably even longer remember, it's russia to sell commodities oil gas on raw materials, although it's limited now. but thank you that who still continue to sell this stuff on a possible well, and this will bring in some money so it's never going to be completely destitute. and that means that the impact of sanctions will have you. you need some time for people to grow. what really happened and what is more important? not a lot of these people initially will make a direct connection between the war in your right and, and the sanctions. a lot of them will continue to blame the west. konstantin occurred, there were events are also taking place across europe to day to commemorate the end of the 2nd world war on the continent 77 years ago in germany anti war protests,

but also pro russia rallies are being staged. alongside commemorative events, as the ongoing war in ukraine overshadows the anniversary. let's get across. you did the political correspondent, juliet, so deli, she's monitoring the world war 2 collaborations for us here in berlin. a julia may 8th marks the defeat of germany in the 2nd world war, and it's still a hugely important date here in germany. why is that? yes, it does mark a defeat in the war, but it also marks the end of world war 2, which had took a huge tool on germany as well. and the liberation from the nazi dictatorship. so it is an important event in germany. it took some time for it to gain the relevance that it did, especially in western germany because of this, in your secrecy, between a defeat and of the end of the war and the liberation. but it has become

a tradition and every year and normally the reefs are where are laid at monuments that commemorate the end of the war. for example, the one you see here behind me, which marks of the, of the victory or of, of the allied forces in this case of the soviet forces against the judge, nazi germany. but this year it has taken on a complete new meaning this commemoration. absolutely. and berlin authorities have been facing criticism for banning the display of both russian and ukrainian flags and symbols anywhere near memorial sites. or can you tell us about that? or there are many demonstrations planned both to commemorate the end of world war 2, but also to criticize the warn ukraine, but also pro russian demonstration. so there is some concern that these groups can tensions, can build between these 2 groups,

and that of the commemoration today. is co opted to celebrate 14 and his war in ukraine. so authorities decided that to try to ease tensions and prevent tensions, to ban of the display of both ukraine and russian flags and other symbols at a lot of these memorial sites. and that has caused, called for criticism, especially from the ukrainian community, and also from the ukrainian ambassador here in berlin, who called it a scandalous decision scene wreaths arriving already there behind you. julia, thanks so much for your reporting. really appreciate it. as her now to some other stories making headlines at this hour, the tale bon, have ordered women in afghanistan to cover their faces and where head to toe clothing in public. the decree also says women should leave the home only when necessary, among the harshest restrictions imposed on women since the hardline islamist group returned to power last year. a hard line,
