ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin after nearly 3 months under seems ukrainian soldiers finally left. the other style still works in murray. russia's troops have taken the severely wounded soldiers to territory held by russian forces. they could later be exchanged for russian prison. also on the program. we meet the sister of one of the fighters in the hours of regimented maria paul,

who is still waiting for news of her brother. we talked to other ukrainians about the regiments controversial past. ah, i'm gather as well come to the program. russia is close to taking full control of the south eastern city of mario paul, after hundreds of ukrainian soldiers hold up. in a still works, there have surrendered. nearly 600 fighters from ukraine's as of regiment had been trapped in the plan for weeks and have endured constant russian bombardment. russian forces have now taken arms, 300 of them to russian health territory with the agreement of keith, and may swap them for 4 russian prisoners at a later date. many of the soldiers are severely wounded. several 100 are still thought to be in the plot. to parting in darkness and under russian guard,

the 1st ukrainian troops have left the as of style steal works off to weeks of fierce resistance. buses brought 53 of the worst injured to a hospital here in the nearby russian control town of nova, as often ukrainian officials said another 211 soldiers had been taken to separate his territory further north present lensky made clear that getting as of styles defend his home was a priority. all my money and you shall, does. we hope to save the lives of our boys that among them are heavily wounded? they have been treated to the one i want to on the line. ukraine needs its ukranian heroes alive. this is our principal chisels me. shoot over a note to hopes of the work continues to bring our boys home. and it requires delicacy and time. just. it's unclear just how many soldiers still left inside the

heavily bombarded as of style complex. but the evacuation seems to indicate that the long and bitter siege is drawing to an end. ukrainian army announced late on monday that the main goal now was to save the lives of the remaining defenders. did have you corresponded to ford? shaw joins us now from the ukrainian capital. key of funny, around 300 ukrainian troops have been evacuated from the steel plant there in mario poor. are they now in russian control? tirty a. what more do you know about the prisoners wall? exactly, that's what everyone is wondering about. what about that next stage? is there going to be a prisoner swap, basically handing over ukrainian soldiers back to ukrainian control territory. and in exchange, russian soldiers, prisoners of war handed to russia. now we actually just hearing from russia that as some people there oppose in the russian parliament. this prisoner,

a voice changed because they do not consider the as of regiment soldiers as a prisoner of food. but rather as food nationalist, a criminals, which of course stands in line with the original picture why russia invaded ukrainian 1st place. one of the reason was because they see that this ukrainian military unit that has become part of the national guard but started as it quite controversial militia. 8 years ago before the war ended on bus regions started, they really were accused of harboring ultra nationalist views. so, russia's going back to that history and they said they are going to invade ukraine under the pretax that this a nazi unit, as they accuse of them being still under today, that they need to be dead at sci fi. they need to be extinguished. basically, the president's answer has been asked over and over about this question, what about the controversial path of the as of regiment? and he made clear over and over again that this is a political past for

a few months in 2014 of this regiment. but actually that people have to look at the soldiers as heroes because they have been defending murray pull. now for the 2nd time, we're actually trying to defend because it looks like that, that town is going to be now under a complete rush and control. if the siege, as it appears to be, seems to be over. if more soldiers are going to be evacuated from there. but people really look at the heroism of the as of regiment here. that dates back to 2014. when for the very 1st time, the regiment was trying to a repel a pro separatist russian backed separatist from the as from the, from our you pull, which is a very symbolic location. i go hot. so once again, we do not know if that swap is actually going to take place so far. what we know that the 1st part of the agreement at least, that some of the soldiers have been evacuated and about 50 of them actually are really seriously wounded to a place in nearby mary paul, by others, about 200 of them are through the up north but both of these stories are, is,

as i say, ah, russian control, then this is what makes this entire agreement quite tricky here. i finally understand you have been in contact and i've done a story about one of the relatives off one of the soldiers off that asoft regiment . let's have a look at that for natalia, the war in ukraine has been a time of intense worry and reflection. yes. she's thinking a launch about her younger brother these days at the more, but this is my brother art him at school when he was 8 or 9 o'clock voice. and it natalia recalls a very normal charge with growing up the michel live in southern ukraine. yeah, i always considered art him to be a creative person and that he would go down a more creative path. i never thought he'd become a soldier. but one, the war and don't. bus began in 2014. natalia says, are tom changed in his now shore on a ship? he, he knew that sooner or later the aggressor will bring war to our country. and he knew

that he needed to prepare national, greenly e ross does not. should that i bought this set, our tone was 26, joined the arms of regiment a few years ago. it was formed as if born here, militia group and later became part of the national guard. he still hold up here in the as of stance, steel plant. the last holdout of ukraine's forces in the port city of from are you pull the regiment released these pictures displaying the horrible conditions. some of the fighters are in put in, accuses the units of b, not cease. he's justified his invasion by claiming that ukraine needs, in his words, the nazi flying, which has drawn a backlash globally here and keep the unit is seen as heroes. billboards have sprung up, supporting the soldiers ye inclusive. i am expressing huge gratitude for them for standing, for us and for our ukraine, nestle. then johan was looking for peer 10. as for every russian,

every ukrainian is radical. but we only want to live on our own, and we strive to speak our own language. and every, as of soldier is a ukrainian wasn't as o d o green. because leslie, co chair researchers, right when groups he says it's correct that the founders of herself harbored neo nazi views, but ins it's, that's changed now for all those guys who were interested in politics more than in a military action. they gone from there, but only on and threads them. and after a 1st several months of his existing in 2014, natalia doesn't want to get into ourselves controversial past. she's more worried for her brother artem no word. so on his so here he was texting me that he's alive . he has room and that's it. he writes very short messages. unfortunately, there's room holding on to signs of life and hoping her brother will return a life. a funny, since you found that report have you had an update from natalia?

natalia basically didn't sleep all night, not knowing just basically what the fate of her brother. she now told us she wants to reach out to the pope. she wants to reach out to port frances hoping that the release off her brother is going to be in a safe manner, but she doesn't feel, you know, watches the fate of her brother. as for all the others, what the hold up they are. she says, p w correspondent, funny for job reporting from here. thank you. funny. well, for more, the russian perspective of the other stop and evacuation on the joint by the w. russia analyst concept, as in a video concept in ukraine, says its soldiers have fulfilled their combat mission and mario, paul, while russia says ukrainian troops have surrendered. is this really a victory for russia? well, it's evident that in some circumstances, each side will play up its own narrative guard. it's an information, will it be

a real hot war? and of course, there are good, good to played as a surrender. but frankly speaking, i think about the ukrainian gradient leadership, showing the 1st and foremost from the lives of their soldiers, a, an important message to, to the population and to the on. and secondly, some countries have accused, threatens and ask you recently of excessive belligerence and desire to recapture captured russian characters. now he showing that he is not adverse to him in humanitarian considerations, that he's putting people's lives on a priority. so also, i think, and that's an important thing defending as of style. still, what was in many ways if you try to exercise the cities mostly on the russian control. so i think this all works towards the decision. now in your view, how likely is it that

a prisoner is change between russia and ukraine will happen and that the as of style evacuation will be brought back to your crime? well, this totally depends on the russians. and the, just before we went on a, i read a dispatch from the so called russian duma. so we'll probably talk in parliament where deputy is already saying we need to exclude all fighters from the exchange scheme because they are not. it was mentioned before. so it is totally, i think it is discretion and i suppose that at the same time, i suppose that people in clear understand it and probably will be exchanging such russians that the crime and would really like to swap also quite as multiple fighters for them. now, what does all this me now for the direction of the war now that russia has full control of mario, paul, how important is this for russia?

look at just that same 4 weeks ago and have said that this is a very important point. it's not a breaking point. so russia, but i think that this is not so no, all russian russians had captured the city that is already pretty much there. the surrender. all the other style fighters is just more or less a symbol. ok. but at the same time, if you look at russian offensive elsewhere, it's stalling, russian forces are being pushed back to the russian border in harko region hockey. so i suppose that in overall picture, the capture model today is probably much less important than it would have been because it doesn't look now that britain will be capable to continue along the southern rim of the grain and cut it off from the black sea. so to some extent, it is a technical success, no doubt about it, but it's not as overwhelming as it would have looked $56.00 weeks ago. our us
