a russian soldier on war crimes charges. the 21 year old is accused of killing a 62 year old man, shooting him dead to stop him from reporting the russian soldiers presence to the ukrainian military. what it was, you know, the reporter, so screw on february 28th in a village northwest of her chief. the accused shot an unarmed, a non threatening civilian in the head with an assault rifle, missiles, all the walks. luca was broiling the trial marks the beginning of ukrainian judicial prob, into alleged russian atrocities on its territory. the attorney general says prosecutors are examining more than $10000.00 alleged will. crimes committed by russian forces against ukraine civilians in a phone conversation with the russian president. chance their shouts made clear that ending the military operation must be a priority. 14 masonic hope put in must pull his troops out and reach an agreement with ukraine. and that must be a peace deal that isn't imposed on ukraine. but when that ukraine finds acceptable

assessing, either which defendant, meanwhile, russia's foreign minister had harsh words about ukraine's you ambitions should the worst will you also uses. uncles through sir v e. u has evolved from a constructive economic union. we work into an aggressive militant actor who's sure you'd work with ambitions far beyond the european continent that it was a big deal in the european school continually. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski also said he was ready for direct talks with the russian president. but he stressed the ukrainians would not like the idea as things stand. earlier i spoke to our correspondent ami in essex. she is in the western ukrainian city of leave. and i asked about that 1st war crimes trial happening in ukraine and just how significant it is. well as significant because it is so unusual. now, as you know, the war crimes trials that we've all heard of,

like nazi advisement and jerusalem happened after a war in order in order to hold the architects of atrocities accountable for what they did during the war. and this is often after the war is over against the losing side of that war, but this one is happening during the war. you might ask why they're doing it now, especially since this soldier is a very low ranking soldier. but i think you have to understand what ukraine wants to show with this, they want to galvanized support from the world. it focused the attention on russian atrocities on russian aggression and the horrors of this war, which was brought on ukraine by russia. and they also want to draw a clear line between ukraine and russia. i think what's very telling is the words of the defending lawyer of this russian soldier. he's a ukrainian lawyer. and what he said to the media was that it was important for him to do this job in order to uphold the rights of that russian soldier. to show him that he is in a very different country from the one he came from. let me ask you too about what

we know in terms of where this war is headed. there have been reports of ukrainian forces preventing a russian river crossing in the eastern don't bass reason region. what more do we know about that? this story has gotten a lot of attention in ukraine for 2 reasons. first of all, how it happened, and 2nd of all where it happened. the 1st one is interesting because ukrainian intelligence essentially anticipated the russians would try to form a bridge, a pontoon bridge at this river crossing and sent their artillery there to wait for them. what they did was they waited until they built the bridge, waited for the troops to cross, then destroyed the bridge with air power and attacked the units who had crossed the river and completely wiped them out. we've heard that there have been as many as a 100 units last and so this is ab inflicted heavy losses on the invading troops in that area. the 2nd reason is because where it is, is this of arrow done yet,

the region around that city. and that's the last city in the don bass that has not fallen to russian troops. now, if you remember, the dumbass has been largely occupied by russian soldiers since 2014, and they're continuing to shore up their gains, their u. s. intelligence has called it essentially a stale made and ukraine's far east, but severe danielle, which is basically surrounded by russian troops, has just had a victory against the russians who are trying to take that city and of so far failed. a correspondent. i mean, as if reporting tonight from believe in ukraine. i mean thank you. ukrainian children have largely gone without any schooling since russia began its invasion. but even under bombardment, some teachers and kids are trying to keep the learning process going. in the subway is beneath the city of her keith. they're doing the best that they can under some very extreme circumstances. it's not your everyday school commute.

this girl leaves the subway car, she calls shelter, goes up an escalator to attend class on a train platform. it's a history class. the teachers as the war has made learning all the more essential but they have other things. and yet them, when you study at school, they didn't like history at all and you knew, oh, but the lessons, how to support them mentally, to just way not. we'll get with it. and because now there is a war without a need to do or you but children are still children. you know, they need to feel that some one loves them get you and you got geek and you choose to sleep. food above ground, dozens of schools in hockey have been damaged in bombardments. but down here life goes on. there's also art class drawing painting. origami, subway walls display the results. the kids here have left everything behind like

many had to flee their homes with little or no warning. easy enough. yes, i had some explosions and when people started to run to the subway, we ran after them. and i went to, to put my cat on the box and bring it here. but i couldn't hear like some pets did make it here, though. extra comfort for children who've been living through a nightmare. and who don't know how long it will be before they can safely go back up to the streets above ukraine's foreign minister. the metro co labour has accused russia of preferring wars to talks. he said, bent to day at a meeting of g sub in foreign ministers here in germany. caliber attended the summit as a guest and he called on the gathered representatives of the world wealthy economies to step up armed supplies to his country and to put more pressure on russia. g 7

especially to africa and to asian countries. we don't care for foot security of african countries of asian countries and everyone who depends on thur, on, on supplies from ukraine, food weapons, sanctions. these are the concrete questions for the g 7 diplomats is they way their options. they're also determined to show that though the war drags on, they stand together in jerusalem, thousands of mortars gathered on friday to pay their final respects to veteran al jazeera journalist, sharina double auckland. the u. s. palestinian reporter was shot dead under disputed circumstances on wednesday. but before her funeral services could begin, it's early security forces charged into the crown, carrying her coffee. ah, it was meant to be a day of solemnity of respect and of taking leave. that us should mean up to our
