moscow's claims that nazis are in charge of the country. president putin said is said rather to have responded by blaming ukraine, forestalled peace negotiations. when you're able do the last time the met face to face was only a few days before russia invaded ukraine. you scuse me to do it in the 1st days of the war, there were several calls between olaf sholtes and vladimir putin, the last one at the end of march. now, after weeks of radio silence, the german chancellor was back on the phone with the russian president. the kremlin confirmed that the call had been initiated by the germans. earlier all of shots had informed lawmakers of the shuttle conversation in the defense committee meeting. the 2 leaders spoke for 75 minutes. in a tweet, the chancellor said he urged boot and to reach a cease fire agreement as quickly as possible. he rejected the kremlin claims that nazis ruled ukraine, and reminded putin of russia's responsibilities as

benjamin alvarez gruber earlier and asked him whether the phone call between germany is chance. the olaf, shorts and rushes president vladimir putin will impact today's discussions at the g 7. indeed, it is a remarkable phone call. after several weeks of silence between the german chancellor re and the kremlin in russia, i don't think it's a coincidence that the talk happened today as the focus of the foreign affairs ministers who are meeting here in germany are talking of course, about a ukraine and the ukrainian foreign minister, we just saw the is it taking a part also in this conversations? i'm sure there was several phone calls between berlin and where the foreign ministers are meeting, but it will be seen if it will have any consequences in, in our statement or afterwards. if this will have any consequences and of course, if we look at these phone calls between leaders between president, in this case, president putin in chancellor shoals. of course we have 2 versions, one from the kremlin and one from germany. since point to look at the sources there

. so i see several phone calls between both locations, but it will need to be seen if it will actually have any consequences on that is have a meeting. and i understand that foreign minister, cool labor, who is also at the g 7 as a guest, urged ministers to put an embargo on a russian oil. is a decision decision rather, expect, expect it on that today. it's it not for all the countries in europe is it is so easy to talk about an all in borrow because of course, the dependence from some european countries to russian oil is higher. it's of course on the agenda as the g 7 for a minute. as have said that they will support ukraine. we just heard that in just a barrell, the foreign affairs, a commissioner of the you set that half a 1000000000 euros military 8 will also it be sent to ukraine. that certainly the on a table that will need to see if it will be in a press segment that this for

a menace is actually a decide to put more pressure on brushes, economy. and i understand the ukrainian or foreign minister, mr. co labor or also use the occasion to address the global fruit security crisis said that we're seeing right now across the world that is sparked by this war and not the same german foreign minister and alina bab, oak also mentioned this crisis, this international, a crisis bab except the 25000000 tons of grains are stuck in a ukraine, and that there's a blockade boy, russia. so this export could have also in severe consequences for other countries. for afghanistan, for example, for yemen. it, there is, of course, this battle of narratives. but the u. n. world food program is also clearly looking at the situation to see what consequences of this will might affect other countries worldwide at final and very quicker when benjamin another, as other significant announcements are made of guarding ukraine. what they said

is that they will continue supporting ukraine. of course they will talk about weapons export as well. a germany has been taking no more active role, not only when it comes to supplying this heavy weapons, but also training ukrainian soldiers on german soil on the system that germany is supplying as the pressure is increasing not only from the position but also from the government parties it will have shows was attending, attended today, a meeting of the defense committee of the german at parliament, where there was also some pressure from the f t p from the pro business f d p party. for him to be quick at with his announcement and not just promise this weapons for ukraine, but actually delivering them as soon as possible. the w political correspondent, benjamin others, group reporting. thank you. a russian soldier is on trial in ukraine in the 1st war, crimes case since moscow's invasion began. vadim s stands accused of killing an unarmed

civilian during the 1st week of the war. 2 other cases are expected to be heard in the coming days. a court room in ukraine's capital cave. this 21 year old stands accused of an atrocity early in the war. but e. s was in ukraine's east when his convoy was hit. he and other russian soldiers then fled in a stolen car, passed a man on a bike, and allegedly shot him in the head, ukrainian forces, se the defendant admitted to killing the civilian when he was captured. he reportedly said he'd been ordered to stop the 62 year old man from reporting on him and his fellow soldiers. his lawyer spoke to reporters about his client's status, the war of her you will know what he does not have any complaints about the conditions. he is being treated according to the requirements of the gun and resolution, including international rules which govern such futures for learning. at least as

of today, you do not voice any complete law. the trial comes, as russian troops faced several setbacks with ukrainian forces, putting up a strong counter offensive in the east. this footage from ukraine's military shows how it thwarted an attempt by russian forces to cross a key river. the severe ski donuts. it was yet another bit by putin's troops to push into the region. britain says russia suffered significant losses in the failed attack. further south in the black sea, another possible win for ukrainian forces. images from an american satellite company show a group of sunken russian vessels off the coast of snake island. meanwhile, fighters at the mary hugh pulse steel mill vow to never surrender their lives, says one commander come 2nd. so i just didn't. oh, it's like,

i've seen this before, almost in stopping my route, mean stopping national security. what. what is yours most though the soldiers may be willing to lay down their lives, their families continue to hope for their safe return. did have usa, i'm in a safe is in the live and told me about the significance of this 1st war crimes trial. since the start of the war in ukraine is a drop in the bucket layla in terms of the number of crimes. the number of alleged crimes that have been committed by russian troops and ukraine and which ukraine hopes to bring before a court. but it's the 1st draft. so this is very significant, symbolically for ukraine to show that it's upholding some kind of standard of international law. there have also been accusations that ukrainian troops have committed war crimes. and ukraine has bowed to investigate those as well. so what ukraine is doing here is showing that despite the fact that it's country has been

forced into a state of war by an invasion, which it considers illegal and against international law is going to continue to pursue a legal efforts to bring those who invaded accountable for their actions, especially when it's considered a war crime and there's evidence that it, it happens later. and i mean at we understand that fighting is still ongoing at the steel plant. in marty you, paula? what more can you tell us about? so the latest there ukrainian military confirmed that russian troops continued to bombard the steel plant throughout last night and into the early morning with artillery. so that's ground fire. and also from aircraft. this is a probably drones which the as of stall fighters or have the fighters who are defending as a style plants said is one of the serious problems for them because they have no way of defending against drones. now, what russia has also done is blocked off the exits and are, are in. it seems that they're hoping to starve the troops out so that the m,

as of battalion, eventually surrender is to russian troops, which would be a wind for russia. and so far, any kind of prisoner swap has been denied by russia because they said that 1st those as of stall defenders would have to surrender to russian troops before they would consider any kind of prisoner swap. and i mean, in conclusion, what can you tell us about the situation in the damn past region? well, the fighting continues there and for every ukrainian, when there seems to be a russian win as well. but at this destruction of the bridge has been celebrated in the area of severe done yet because that city is the last large city in don bass to be held by ukrainian troops is almost completely surrounded. but if russian troops had managed across the river, this would have been a disaster for ukrainian troops. and it shows a tactical superiority to ukrainians of their own military over russians that they

were able to stop this. and what also happened in that situation is that they allowed russians to cross over this pontoon bridge and then destroyed the bridge so that the russians were stalled on the ukrainian side of the river, at which point they hit them with artillery and also air power. so this is being celebrated as a major win for ukraine. but what you all said on here and ukraine is the many winds that are coming out of the russian side with village after village and falling to russian troops and weather shoring up. the dominance in that region that they had mostly since 2014. did have you, sam? yes. if reporting from of if you, craig, thank you very much for your continued coverage. ever since russia invaded ukraine, there've been widespread fears of cyber attacks. experts are surprised that russia hasn't taken down ukraine's power grid or other critical infrastructure. but ukrainian hackers have been busy mounting their own successful attacks. and

believe to have hacked into ukraine's presidential elections and taken out parts of its power grid, as well as trying to destroy internet connectivity. but russia has always maintained its innocence, claiming that criminal groups, not the government were responsible. now, with people like boston and ukraine's hacker army against it, russia finds itself on the receiving end of these attacks with more likely to follow. you can download. these are the other stories we keeping an eye on right now. sweden's foreign minister says her countries a session to nato would provide conflicts in northern europe. on linda was presenting a parliamentary report on security as when considers applying to join the alliance in the face of russia's invasion of ukraine. ela must says he has put his $44000000000.00 deal to buy twitter temporarily on hold. he tweeted to say he's
