wanting to destroy as many homes or social institutions and businesses as possible and pray that there is little genocide to the ukraine and people and the occupiers will be held accountable and brought to justice on barrett parallel. should the governor of the law hands, gretchen, which he still under ukrainian control, has reported further attacks where more people have been killed. will they w correspondent, mathias bullying her is in crime, a toss grass, a city in the don bass region about 50 kilometers from the fighting. i asked him for an update on the situation in the city. well, it's already past curfew. so now i'm in the backyard of my hotel and the city is area quiet and today, and even in the daytime, we've never seen more than 3 or 4 people on the street. and i was the absolute maximum. usually you see no one. most of the people have left the city because it's the administrative center of the dumbass region of those pos,

around the ukranian control. and there were of course expectations that something might happen here. the city has been hit by rockets before there was an attack on the railway station in the beginning of april, where may many civilians trying to flee. the city died and since then more and more people have left fighting is going on. mostly north north, northeast of here in see what are the net that's another administrative center in this region selling there is heavy. people die every day, and much of the cities already been destroyed. right. and both sides. no ukraine and russia have now confirmed that the as of style still planted in russian hands and what are you hearing? yeah, it's what i have been hearing as well. of course, the ukrainian, the fight, the, the as of battalions commander has released a message to day where they have said that they have had the order to,

to give up and to save their lives and not to continue fighting under these conditions with. they cannot win anything, they cannot get out. there's nothing they can do. they can just hold on until basically basically they die there. um, so they've been given the order to give up, which means to go in to give it to give up to, to surrender to the russians. and russia has now said that all of those who remained 500 had had surrendered, needs confirmation from the ukrainian side. but it's in line with what we've been hearing before. right. i know you were in our favor earlier where russian troops have been driven back from the outskirts of the city. now authorities there, i came to restore a normal life. i will take a look at your report and then come back to me. it is. they came here to flee the bombs and now they don't want to leave people who have been living in the subway station are petitioning the government to let them stay subway stations here and

hargrove, have been serving as bomb shelters since the beginning of the war b katerina alpa and her husband have been living here since the very 1st day. yet do have a virus that he's really i go home every 3 weeks, but i always need to prepare myself mentally before i can go with the most of them and i run home and take a bath so we can wash here. these are the conditions and that ideal, a lot of my life is doing others don't have a choice. they do not have a place to go back to any more. this station is the terminal station of the metro line, the northernmost station in the city. it's closest to the front line and to those areas that have been most heavily shell. the shelling of hargrove has all but subsided, and the local government wants to get the subway system running again. it wants the people to leave the metro and is offering to relocate them, but many here don't trust the peace. no, because on the you're

a law and yet on look like you go out on the street sometimes. but the fear is always there that it for, it is not that easy video, we need time to overcome at another her, on the subway station, many of the houses have been destroyed in some streets, barely a house has been untouched. olga has also spent the past months in a subway. it's the 1st time she's come back to see the apartment where she lived with her mother and her son. she was told that there was damage, but she didn't know how bad it was. all just it's terrible. her mom who was shell hit a wall in one of the rooms. there's debris, everywhere. she

documents everything. people can report the damage on the government website, but nobody knows how long it will take to get any support. oh and as i got my knees are shaking my knees, they're actually shaking. i still can't believe agile from what i knew that the windows were broken when you got this only that shall hadn't head. yeah. there wasn't a hole in the wall. we might still somehow move back or the house is still standing, but this is different fairly for now, the only thing to do is to collect some of their belongings. they will not move back to the subway, but to a relative's house. some distressing personal stories there. mathias, what sort of state is the city in well, it depends on where you are in the city. so these northern suburbs,

this house where she was standing, it's just, it's the last house on the border of the town. and just behind, we could look out of the window. you see fields and villages. and these villages were occupied by the russians. so they were just able to, to show from everything they have, everything basically would hit at one of these houses because it was so close. and these areas are basically, i don't know whether they'll ever be inhabited the probably the have, you will have to tear everything down before they will be in rebuild it before it will be possible to live there. for most houses, they've been severely damaged. other parts of the city are not that bad hit. there were a few rocket hits at the center. you see the city is wounded wherever you walk. and people life is really returning slowly to the city, much slower than for example, in ki, if after the troops were driven back from the border of here. basically, life was returning already, but it's different because there are the fighting is still ongoing. it's further from the city and the shells don't hit the city anymore,

but it's still ongoing. so people are much more careful to go back and when the shops are still closed and it takes some time for people to readjust to the situation. thank you for that much is putting in a comma tours and we can talk to lee above to pull sco, who's a political analyst advisor to the ukranian government and military. she joins us from a cave, a welcome to d w. and what do you think prompted cave to order those soldiers in as, as of style to surrender? first of all, i think that our soldiers were military a 0 plan. they accomplish their mission. they fought fiercely and selflessly. they fought to the last who it was the last ammunition they did everything possible to evacuate surveillance when surveillance and when did military. so if they did this task that may,

it means that there was no other choice for them. and the whole ukraine mix perceived them as our heroes understood. i suppose the given that the 3rd to prisoners have been coming out of her over the last few days. one wonders will. why today? why not yesterday? why? why today? because dissertation was changing every day. and it was a decision, and at that moment it was, it feels and it felt right, right. so i didn't really interrupting you. i just want to be clear what, what, what you said that you said this was the decision of the soldiers in as of style, rather than responding to orders from keith. now it was a joint decision. obviously the main goal was to save lives. and for many of them, it was one possible way to do it. understood what you think happens to them. now

talk of a prisoner swap seems to have died down we do not know for sure what is happening to them. ah, we see we observe a lot of this information on line on it to issue and details of it is the negotiations are not disclosed. so i think it's going to be another opportunity for us and for the whole world to see where the russia stick into the agreements. so far, history has shown that russia always violates any agreements. but as far as you understand, i'm those talks about a prisma stop are still going on. ah, yes, really keep hearing this, but we also observe a lot of information, especially aggression, the main on are prosecuting them. so we do not have clear vision. what is

going to happen? another russian troops aren't tied up in mary. a hold of the fear is that they'll be deployed to step up if sold on dumbass. what's your feeling? i think that good amount of troops, russian troops and that area was not very significant. so if they are deployed to other parts of the eastern ukraine, it's not going to change the whole situation. and as a thank you so much for joining us. a new above a to pull sca advised the ukranian government. thank you. thank you. some other developments, sir, in this war, saudi in germany, where the defense, when she says it will develop, it will deliver the 1st of its 15 gephart or cheater anti air tanks to ukraine. in july cave has been pleading for more heavy weaponry to battle. russian troops in the east critics are accused germany of taking too long to deliver military 8.

several people have been injured in a russian strike on a ukrainian culture center. presidents zalinski release this surveillance of footage of the attack on the town of the solver in the eastern region of hockey. if he said russian forces deliberately targeted the center ukraine has accused russia of routinely striking civilian targets. german chancellor, olaf schultz has katara, will play a central role in these countries. plans to cut its dependence on russian gas. after talks in berlin with katara, amir, a shaker time, im bill al tarney chandler shoulds said germany would construct infrastructure to import liquefied natural gas by ship guitar wants to start sending out g to germany a by 2024. and one of germany's former chancellors has resigned from the board of russia's state oil company rosin. f and gerhard shirt was facing mounting criticism of his ties to russia. and this week the european parliament

a call for him to face sanctions. if he didn't quit, mister shirt is also a long time friend of vladimir putin. the w political correspondent, simon young reports. for years gear, how excluded has been criticized for his closeness to russian interests. some called him the kremlin is chief lobbyist in germany. schroeder has refused to criticize the invasion of ukraine and he played down crimes committed by russian forces within the s p. d. the party that schroeder once led, many felt his bees were unacceptable. calls grew for him either to leave voluntarily or face expulsion. this week chancellor shalt himself added to that pressure. one more thing is important to me if i may add, it would be best if gahan square to resign from his post. schroeder has never made a secret of his friendship with vladimir putin. while he was chancellor from 1998

to 2005, he signed the deal to bring russian guest to germany by the north string pipeline through the baltic sea. and he raised eyebrows by referring to the russian leader as a flawless democrat. soon after leaving office, he accepted a job with rush and energy company gas prom. he later became chairman of the supervisory board of another russian oil giant ra, sniffed. and he's also on the board of the north stream operating company. just why florida has finally changed tack is not clear. it could be down to a motion in the european parliament to put him on a list of those with russian links. he could face sanctions, including asset freezes, may be the decision by the bundle, start to withdraw privileges such as a fully staffed office and a driver force the ex chancellor to think again. whatever the truth many say should a support for putin has tarnished german is international reputation. and that damage cannot easily be undone. a report from simon young and i spoke to

simon and a lawyer and asked him why he thought it had taken gerhard schroeder. so long to act. well, god for the has clearly yeah, you stuck with vladimir putin needs his close friend, as he says, for a long time. and you know, he's stuck with his belief that so you know, gemini should have close any g links with russia. and he said that he doesn't do, may a cooper's, he's not willing to sort of modify his position. and, you know, he's been despite cole's, of course, for him to do that. as mentioned there. i think now the heat has been turned off on him, particularly by this decision, by the put this talk to close down his all face and remove that sort of privilege. that's according to former chancellors. and also by this call from the european

parliament that he should be treated like russian all galks and placed on a list of people who could face sanctions. you know, that was if he didn't step back from his role with the russian energy companies. so the pressure has been mounting it within his own party, more and more people saying, you know, it's time for him to leave the party and indeed time for him to do the right thing . and so perhaps he's finally been nudged in that direction. what i mean, he said in an interview last month, and he don't even go, a russia turned off his gas apply to germany. so it should be read anything into the fact that he's going now. you will, of course, actually it's the other way round as nate to europe age reducing its dependency on russian gas. and before the war, germany was getting more than half of its a gas supply from russia, paying more than 200000000 euros a day for the privilege. now that,

that number is falling at the node stream pipeline has been more bold and the german government plan is to end any, any russian gas supplied to germany. so that it may once have been an effective salesman for russian energy in germany. but now not so much. now germany's policy of keeping russia a close was always said to be about engagement and encouraging democracy. but mister shaw this ties did seem to be more about personal gain. well, that's right. he's reported to have been earning a 1000000 euros a year for his role on the boards of various companies. he's been doing this lobbying work in so far as it was possible to lobby for russian energy interests in germany lately. but i think his toys with russia are deep, and he says that friendship with the me preaching is genuine. he was as to adopted

children. he both came from russia, but to just of late, you know, he's remarks about the responsibility for the war and ukraine, lying on both sides in his attempts to sort of play down russian crimes in ukraine . i think that is really crossed a red line for many people and you know, he's reputation is an old time love. think about simon dw political correspond. simon young, president biden has begun his 1st presidential trip to asia in south korea. the 5 day visit is intended to counter chinese influence and cement us leadership in the region. on landing, he taught a samsung semiconductor plant with his new south korean counterpart, a huge, so keel. after stepping out into the south korean son, biden's 1st stop on his visit was purely intended to demonstrate the depth of technological cooperation between the 2 allies. as soon as the greetings were out of the way, at the u. s. air base near sol,

and like barza, they'll be hoping for more of the same what promises to be a memorable night, an event is, is $42000.00 capacity stadium and sharon and food and fuel prices of spite. since russia invaded ukraine and the increased costs are causing some people to get creative and rethink some of their typical daily activities. one woman in germany decided to leave her car at home, opting for an alternative mode of transport. i it's the morning commute but not as you know, it. with fuel prices spiraling. 33 year old stephanie kitchener decided to opt for a cheaper form of transport. giving up her s u v. and traveling the old fashioned way instead that it does ish and yet finished, ma'am i no longer use my toyota,

which only gives me 17 miles per gallon about or even less when i transport things in large and litter. so if i managed to ride the horse every day, and i said about $250.00 euros each month on fuel than bashful only by little so she admits her choice of transport is not popular with motorists, but delights the kids in the local village. and although she's able to make the 6 kilometer journey to work, stephanie accepts it's not ideal for traveling more widely and can finish it. i can, you can just put a horse in a parking garage. now they would be nice. i think a lot more people would use horses if more places accommodate them mad, but i don't think society is ready for that because there chap fate is me. so like with no sign of the fuel crises abating. for now, stephanie is determined to stay away from her for wheels and travel on for hoofs
