ah, ah ah, this is dw news life from the russian missiles hit, the ukrainian port of odessa. you can says bombs have destroyed tourist sites as a top b u official visits, the strategic city. and germany's foreign minister travels to ukraine to see the devastation. that's where the bomb dropped. i was at the crater. i filled it with and planted potatoes that frontline village ruined by war dw, meets one resident holding on to hope for peace. despite the destruction. and the

son of a dictator is set to become the next president of the philippines and marcos junior . it takes a commanding lead with twice as many votes as he was nearest rival. summary, what he's with me for democracy. ah, i've been fas all and nice to have you along. germany is foreign minister is expected in key of soon it's adelina box 1st visit since a diplomatic spat between berlin and cube over german weapons supplies was resolved . is comes as a top b, you were official, witness the devastation of russia's war 1st hand. european council president shy me show was in the southern city of odessa when it came under intense missile attack. she was forced to take shelter away air raid sirens went off, creating

a president. blood of mister lansky says russians, a soul makes clear disdain for europe. dw corresponded amin s if is in leave, if more air strikes have been launched on that southern port of odessa. could you tell us more about the situation on the ground? several missiles hit that port city, as you said, as the european council president charles michelle was there. these hit residential and recreational areas, including a hotel on the port which was destroyed. and these are cruise missiles, which have been launched from the black sea, from warships in the black sea that belong to russia. these are not art, this is not artillery fire, which means these are long range attacks. very similar attacks of the ones hitting western cities like levine, where i am now. what this means is, these are heading areas where russia does not have enough power to go in and to attack the city directly. but odessa is expecting,

or at least preparing for such attack, because it's on the port or not so far west from mar, you pull, and they have seen what has happened to that city. so they've mind the beaches and they prepared for it all out attack from russia. but so far, these are just laundry long range attacks by cruise missiles launched by russia. i mean, i mentioned the germans are ministers visit. how does ukraine support or view it support rather that it's getting from berlin? well, there's a difference between how the government season, how people on the street see it in that the government might be following the news a little bit close, closer and know that more german, a politicians and officials have visited ukraine in recent days. analynn, a bareback foreign minister is a meeting with officials in keith to day. and they know that germany has decided to support ukraine with heavy weaponry, including howitzers,

which are the strongest artillery that germany could send. a 7 of those will be arriving in ukraine soon. but on the street, a lot of people remember that germany has always been the last to agree to any kind of escalation in this conflict, sending a weapons that they were not sure would escalate the conflict with russia. germany has been very careful not to provoke a wider conflict here to get nato involved to at least show russia that nato is getting involved. and to make this a worse conflict, not germany has taken that kind of name for itself as the reluctant partner in the european union, and that has stuck. i think at this point a lot of ukrainians would like to see olaf shoulds, the german chancellor vit. visit ukraine and i think until a big act like that really makes its rounds in the media. most ukrainians will still still see germany as the european country. that's holding back. i mean, as

a force in the live. thank you. western military analysts say russian troops have made little progress in their invasion. in recent days, franklin shifted slightly as russians and ukrainian forces tried patches of territory, many places in the path of the advancing and retreating army, so empty of residence. but some people are staying behind, holding out hope for peace as dw mathias pulling a found out in a town named life. a village you raised rebushka is right on the frontline. virtually no house remains on damaged. the village ones had 2000 inhabitants. now, only a handful are left. i luna lucian car is one of them. yes, from us. vicky sher, it's com nice. corey were resting a little. but a few days ago it was terrible because the bombs were falling, shooting fire things falling, dan. a bomb fell down in my courtyard. 12 meters from my bedroom. there was
