we weren't sure until it became unbearable. then i got sick long. she has an endless list of illnesses and i'm also sick to put away the head brush over if there was a hospital here where i would have stayed here until the very last moment. she due only a few kilometers away and severe done yet, leaving has become nearly impossible. with all the main bridge is destroyed, the city is now cut off. ukraine says more than $500.00 civilians, a hiding inside the assault chemical factory alongside ukrainian soldiers. moscow announced the humanitarian corridor for the civilians, but then claimed ukrainian shelling disrupted the plan with moscow having more man, power, and weapons. it's becoming increasingly difficult for the ukrainians to hold their few remaining positions in the city. a ration deadline for the forces in the chemical plant to surrender has passed, form the ukrainian president polish ankle told the w. ukraine will not given.

situation is extremely difficult and the concentration of troops there is enormous, but our heroic soldiers is keeping serve. it had been yet squee keeping their a so i was not those on what the result chemical plan and we never surrender ah, away from the dumbass. russian forces have been aiming for other high value targets . this foot is shared by the russian military claims to show high precision low range missiles, targeting a depot in the western living region where ammunition for nature supplied weapons. stuart, if true, it could be russia's latest effort to disrupt the international supply of weapons. to get an update. now from our correspondent roman, gone to ranko, he joined us from ukraine's capital chia roman,

the leaders of the east 3 biggest countries, germany, france, and italy are in key of today. what's the significance of this visit? well, it's hard to overestimate the significance of this visit because of the 3 leaders of the major european countries are visiting ukraine, which is fighting a very difficult and very bloody war. and they were criticized before this visit for not doing this earlier, criticized for not delivering enough weapons to ukraine to defend itself. they were criticized for talking too much to vladimir putin. russians, president of being too soft on him. so there was a lot of pressure on all 3 leaders, especially in the leader of germany and france before this wizard, if they will managed to arm to silence critics and to show the solidarity with ukraine to say that really standing with ukraine. this question will be solved today in a few hours. they are meeting with present zalinski here. and what is also very

important is wizard is taking place at a historic moment for ukraine. ukraine has applied to become a candidate for you candidacy, and in the coming days the you summit will decide that there is also a summit of g 7 in germany and nato summit come nero, sam. it coming. the war in ukraine will be on top of the agenda and the cannon president also agreed to take part in the g 7 and nato summit. but it's not quite clear of the moment where the culture will himself or will just be connected via video link. okay, so a strong diplomatic show support from europe. meanwhile, the u. s. is announced. another $1000000000.00 in military aid for ukraine. how important is that military aid for the country? it is extremely important and this is what we're hearing from ukrainian authorities every day, every hour and every minute here. and keith, they are saying that the russians rationale typically, for example, in the east african where, where there is heaviest fighting in this war out numbers the ukrainian by 10 times

. and they are also criticizing that the west has so far delivered on a 10 percent of the weapons promised. so ukraine is expecting more weapons to come in the coming weeks to be able to stop the russian advance in the east of ukraine by the fighting continuous there multiple flash points in this war. what can you tell us about the latest fighting roman well this year the situation remains pretty much pretty much the same as in the past few days. the, the heaviest fighting is in the city of sebra, nasa, which is an administrative used to be actually an administrative center of the region. low hands and ukrainian forces are still holding the positions there. and or the skeptics were expecting them to, to, to abandon the sea to a few weeks ago. they are still there, they're still fighting. but the, it is, he's getting more and more difficult for the ukrainian army to supply them with weapons. and one more problem remains it's,

the problem of civilians were still stay in that city. and an attempt was made to evacuate civilians who were hiding at a chemical plant in several of the nest. what were they are still there and that attempt was not successful. so far, i think in the coming hours and days that will be more attempts. roman, thank you very much for bringing us up to date there. that was our correspondent, roman gon sharika. in chia which get more now on the german perspective on that diplomatic initiative by 3 european leaders saw our correspond. theresa cropper is with us now. she's in our parliamentary studios here in berlin. theresa, why is german chancellor all of schoultz visiting ukraine. now what's the purpose of his trip? well, that's the big question now, terry, and we'll have shots as previously said that he wouldn't go to kia just to take a photo. and so then a, some would raised expectations that if he does go there,

he will have something to offer. and that, of course, could be more financial support, it could be more arms deliveries. after all, ukraine's president zalinski has criticized both germany and france and to lesser extent, also italy of being too slow when it comes to ams deliveries, and of putting their own prosperity ahead of ukraine's freedom and security. but these 3 could also bring good news and with regard to ukraine's bid to become a member of the european union, because as we heard, the meeting in the visit in kiev comes just ahead of the key meeting in brussels, where the european commission is expected to propose that ukraine becomes a member of the block. why did it take chancellor short so long to visit ukraine? this, this visit has been anticipated for months. a oh yes. all of shows was certainly invited a lot of times since the war broke out or but back in april there was some rift between berlin and keith because care rebuffed on very short notice

a visit by the german president frank. bye to shine maya. saying that he was too close to russia, that he made mistakes in dealing with moscow in the past. and after that or left charles himself, he refused to go there for a couple of weeks. but that dispute was solved and the telephone call. and since then, several german politicians had visited, most notably foreign minister, analynn overbook, but also other ministers, the president of the dom bonus tag, and even the head of the biggest opposition party. and the fact that will have shot himself did not go for such a long time. also caused some criticism. he and germany what's being said about this diplomatic gesture here in germany. teresa well, and germans are certainly watching this visit very closely because many feel that ukraine should get all the supported needs. but at the same time, they're also worried about what the war and ukraine means for their own lives. so i went out to the streets of berlin to ask people how they feel about this visit.

know, there's taken it finished. good. i think it's good. lemme, he should do a lot more. he doesn't do enough am if you have to help them in half of the inferences, new books or it's not convincing to keep saying that ukraine has to win. but at the same time, the abs deliveries being announced, a falling short of expectations, my back least for the time being in the room due to anger clinic that go off to minute. sy, please, that's a contradiction of all that has to be resolved somehow. most of you all could use it as, as the fact it goes there to exchange views is basically good, which in men could help the people by supplying these and weapons instead of gathering is thank you. sure. i think if these 3 travel dear together, they'll have something to say, i hope so, that they don't just go with their active decency. so quite a lot of suspense. he and germany as well when it comes to watch sir charles michael and darcy are exactly up to and kia teresa, thank you very much. shar corresponded teresa proper there.

well, the number of people on the move on against their will is unprecedented. forced to flee their homes because of conflict, violence and persecution. according to a new report by the united nations refugee agency at the end of last year, nearly $90000000.00 people around the world had fled their homes. that's more than double the number 10 years ago. and by the end of this year, the number is expected to top a 100000000 for the 1st time. this latest increase is being driven by an escalation of existing complex and by new violence. the war in ukraine as an example, has triggered one of the fastest and largest refugee crises since the 2nd world war 7500000 ukrainians have fled the country, and more than 8000000 are now internally displaced for more. let's bring in chris. mad sir. here he is,

the senior spoke person at the you and hcr is berlin off. indeed, pressing figures. and as you mash we, we have the, the, let's say old conference like my syria, scott who counted on that ukraine is of course, no problem. and you, we, we had displaced persons ukraine before, but we have now outside refugees and 7000000 displaced persons from ukraine. and they also other countries like venezuela, like me on monday of all the headlines. now, millions of refugees are displaced and east side of these countries from these countries. the focus, at least here in this part of the world right now is very much on ukraine, is the ukraine conflict taking attention away from the need to help displace people in other parts of the world. chris, i'm afraid so. i mean, we're talking a lot about ukraine and not about yet just mentioned south. and on the 2400000

refugees from south pseudo. there are millions of tons, place persons in many countries, especially in african countries. and we have not talked much about syria in recent weeks and months. on the other hand, ukraine situation probably shows that everybody and b a refugee suddenly that these people indeed need help. and actually it's not the big difference between the refugees over there and refugees here. i wasn't so many places around the world and the pictures are always the same. people trying to flee, trying to say the law, save their lives. so i kind of future, are we looking at, chris, given the a proliferation of armed conflicts and other crises, including the climate emergency. yes, this isn't a big problem. if you take a look at figures and you see that 70 percent of the refugees are from just sort of 5 countries, syria layla of galveston, south down myanmar and

a 6 country. now ukraine, of course. so imagine we could solve only one or 2 of these conflicts. we will be a big step ahead. but indeed, right now the, the situation looks at dia, also with conflicts, probably killed by the climate crisis. on the other hand, the last year 5700000 displays person could return home. so there is a glimmer of hope. glimmer of hope are always good. thank you chris. chris meltzer of the you and hcr here in germany now to brazil, where police say a man has confessed, fatally shooting and indigenous expert. and a british journalist who went missing earlier this month. the suspect led officers to a remote area where he said the bodies were buried. the search for don phillips and bruno panera of pereira, rather as shed light on tensions between local indigenous communities and illegal
