ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, ukraine's president rules out talks with moscow any time soon. as the kremlin pours resources into its don't bass offensive loading, there's a lensky called russia aggression. an evil that can only be contained on the battlefield. also coming up, reports of fresh atrocities in ethiopia,

put the african country civil war. back in the spotlight. dw news visits the aftermath of ethnic fighting in ethiopia, north, we find traumatized residents and accounts of others being held in a camp under inhumane conditions. and germany's premier global art show, the documentary covers up one of its works after complaints of anti semitic stereotypes. ah, i'm nick spicer. welcome to the program. as the war and ukraine enters his 4th month, president vladimir zalinski is dispelling hopes of negotiations with russia. any time soon in his latest video address. so once he called russia's aggression, an evil that can only be contained on the battlefield. ukraine says russia is stepping up its attacks in the eastern don't bass region with ukrainian troops

doing everything possible to hold their ground. authority said rushes advantage in arms and equipment was making the situation very difficult. but on his nightly address. on monday, so lensky remained defiant. jackie, yeah, he put a bunch of oci. russia is very nervous about our activity is normal to look, there's be more shelling of ha keith and odessa to have be more brutal of salts in the don bus sizzle. this is an evil, i can only be defeated on the battlefield. that machine will who are defending, losing chance and 7 go to and yet can they, this whole region is the most difficult to ship. these allow the hardest to fight. evil can only be defeated on the battlefield. i asked our correspondent and keith nik connolly. what to make of those fighting words from a president whose army is running out of weapons? that's definitely the case. but i think that was a siegel here from kia, also to the west, and particularly to western european countries. that ukraine is basically not gonna

be willing to talk to russia until those russian troops are forced back to where they were. on february 24th, the beginning of this war, there had been different fears here and key of that there would be an attempt by maybe france, germany, italy, when we had that visit of the leaders 3 leaders to care of last week trying to force ukraine to some kind of compromises to basically end this war and hurry to end this, a spike in energy prices in basic get back to businesses normal with russia at the cost of ukraine and its territorial integrity. that it ukraine feels a vindicated, relieved that that didn't happen. that they were able to make their case and with support from the u. s. and the u. k. prevent a kind of diplomatic initiative from western european countries into forcing ukraine, basically to play to russia's terms. but it is definitely a very difficult situation for ukraine. right. now they are able to hold up front lines and russia is making gains, but very modest gains, but that a disproportionate terms of the result is russia has some say 10 to one in terms of

artillery. that is definitely, that is costing you 20 lugs and nick, you were mentioning the e you and of course there was a troika of european union leaders promised to support candidacy status for the for ukraine to the european union as a decision coming up thursday friday. howard membership, when it comes, change the change the country and what is the candidacy mean to to zalinski ukrainians? hopes the membership is something that a vast majority of ukrainian citizens at once all the sociology shows that massive majority for that here, it would basically end decades long speculation about where ukraine is going for the most of its independence. ukraine is basically being a buffer zone between russia and western europe and the u and bases been spent spending its time rather than kind of developing its economy stuck with these kind of geopolitical questions. so that would put those to bed once in. and let's see these huge economic boost and open the doors, a huge investment in this country that has historically underperformed. and you

know, still has some of the lowest averaging comes in europe. and even just being a candidate would already put ukraine on a roadmap, forced reforms that would bring in investments way before eventual membership. we've seen that in poland, in the baltic states and neighboring romania. so even before you cramp comes a member that would have an impact, it would be felt by ordinary ukrainians pretty soon. okay. in economy reporting for us from key. thanks for that. since the beginning of the war, volunteers across ukraine have been doing their part for the war effort. some are turning to recycling to help save soldier soldiers lives. to find out more about how it's done, d, w. rebecca readers travel to southern ukraine to the region around mich alive. this all junkyard is a junkyard. no more. when war broke out, volunteers took over the space and turned it into a military workshop. dimmer is a sound engineer and voice of the artist. now he makes flak, jackets moves across number little up, it will bully profess were requested from google. so we decided to try make some,

a small number 30 pieces. we wanted to raise 47000 heard if near for that. sure, people wrote so connected that we raised 150000 in the 1st 3 to 4 days. so we made 3 times. as many of them you're not doorbell on the road. so far they've sent more than $700.00 of the vests to the front lines. places like hunt, keith, china, his and mc alive, there's recycling involved and the work looks aren't, isn't all that the product is military grade. miss also, if this is nigel is certified to 8 millimeters thick. at 1 o'clock, this rubber from a conveyor belt is screwed on top of its liam. it acts as an anti fragmentation layer where this rubber traps or splinters from the bullets we put in my of c o school. if you call it the metal and rubber a bound together in strong tape and like holy cross. yeah, if a dog i work,

fireproof material usually used to make sofas, forms the out, a shell of the vests, just pop the pipes inside these purpose built pockets. and hey, presto, westfield, pretty good. once you get it all quite comfortable and much lighter than you might expect, much lighter than some of the press fest i've even had to wear in the field. but the real test, of course is going to be whether or not it can stop a bullet. the plates deflect shots from an a k 47 standard equipment for the russian army. what, what circular? oh wow. or the vin cities with his outside he shows his old track to wheels that will go in to some of the vessels. soldiers arrived to pick up some for the comrades. they learn what kind of bullets their new body alma can stop with

a quick trip into the shop to take what they need. and they're off to the front lines. we get to save lives made in ukraine. russia is tightening its grip on the occupied regions of ukraine assigned that it has no intention of relinquishing control of these areas. the russian defense ministry says it has repaired nearly 1200 kilometers of damage, railway in the country, se the tracks link russia with the occupied areas in the don bass, harrison and crimea. it will allow moscow to send in more troops and weapons. the kremlin also announced that water is again flowing through the north korean rather crimean canal. the canal once provided most of the peninsulas fresh water following rushes, annexation of crimea. in 2014 ukraine built a dam in the town of calen check, cutting off this vital supply. russia is also attempting to rust a fire the population occupied root or ukraine to solidifies ruler. it has been

handing out russian passports and introduce the rubel as the official currency. it's also changed the telephone country code and is broadcasting russian television and enjoy now by war expert and former british army officer mike martin for more on this mike, it appears that russia is seeking to annex the occupied territories completely. what are the chances of success? good morning, i think that the chance of success is gonna be bedevilled by the same problem that the russians have had throughout the war. not having enough troops for what they seek to do. if we look around the country, the moment there are 3 areas where they're fighting in north, around khaki in east bus. so much about and in the south in on the you would just be about in order to make progress in the russian had to take out troops from the north and south. and so they simply just don't have enough troops to do what they

want to do. and there's considerable resistance as well from the population in some places behind the front lines. how much of that is going to is a challenge or will be a challenge for russia? exactly, i think it's already a challenge as well as not being able to hold or make progress on different the different phone lines that they hold in the south around us on we've seen quite significant pos as an activity. for example, a couple of days ago. ready was a bomb attack against a, the head of the prison service in her own, originally ukrainian collaborates a switch sides the russians. so he was attacked and blown up, and we're starting to see attacks on arms dumps behind russian lines. they simply just don't have enough troops to cope with arrested ukrainian population. that doesn't one. and if we can just turn to the, to the don't bass region for a 2nd, ukrainian military officials admit themselves. this will be a decisive week. why is that?

well i would slide it caveat that the ukrainians have been saying that each week is decisive in the dom bus and they're doing, i think what we do is they're using the there's a way to make sure that the west continues with arms deliveries. having said that, in the pocket of ukrainian forces in the city of certain x, which is what we've heard so much about in the last couple of weeks, is now reduced down to one small area. so it is likely that the ukrainians are going to have to either surrender or pull out. it's very similar actually to the situation in mary paul i'm about a month ago. but once they do that, they still home just chance, which is the next door city, which is just across the river, and it's on top of a hill. so it's much more militarily defendable. final question of him, maybe that great intangible morale,

who's winning the morale war o ukraine, without a doubt and since the beginning of the war, that's been the case. that is largely down to one big factor which is that the cranes are fighting for the defense of their homeland, where the russians have a conscript army. in some cases that press gang civilians in the army and the differences in morale are completely very high for the ukrainians. very low. the russians. you had a piece there. that was an excellent example of that civilians who were running a factory that made something else. suddenly switch to making body armor and the ukranian troops were coming and getting that body armor having a coffee and then going back to the front line, these the actions of the country and of a military that have high brow. ok, military expert mike martin, thanks so much. thank you. hundreds of thousands of ukrainians fled to germany after russia's invasion in february. now, even with desperate fighting,

continuing their countries, some of them are deciding to return home dw news found out why these bosses are taking ukrainian refugees back home as the russian aggression shifted to the east of ukraine. more and more people are daring to go back to safer areas. state lima. how did sca and doctors, blood, and ginia are waiting for a bus to key? if a miss home, i miss our house. i want to go back to the door auditor. we miss friends, mr. family, people we haven't seen of a 3 month now and it's hard to be on the road like that all the time. i was some of them. it's not even possible to connect on line. so i just want to see them for boys, but their mother still, lama is warring about the trip. oh, wonder what you lana wants to go home. i can't send her to keep and stay here myself from a rational point of view. it's definitely safer here because it cannot know how

they had enough of it, they will use it that a warrior while you're looked at a nearby cemetery. we meet muhammad hussain a local health official who has helped very close to 60 bodies. among them were several children. he tells us, but among capital i have a heavy heart. nicholas marshall, i'm lost for words by them made this has left a scar in my life. if al and i'll never forget this is little, had to mother's home, but it's not just lives that have been lost. local infrastructure lies in ruins, as well. citizens vocal that they destroyed the hospital with everything that's useful. the x ray machine, the chem lab, and the laboratory. oh, they took everything and they broke the rest of the the refund and thought the fighting has caused a rift between the 2 communities. both now accused each other of massacres, destruction and looting. we found signs of t p. laugh actions, but to grind witnesses also made claims of a foreign militia aggressions. they say they targeted and killed several to grand

residence before transporting several 1000 to the regional capital samarra. the head of the u. n. h. c. r. 's field office in samarra confirmed that around 8000 people have been held at a government run camp meant to accommodate about 1500 people. this on a national and international standards that are not. that's that that should be living candy, living human conditions. he says, among those detained air, about 1200 children, many suffering from malnourishment. we tried to gain access to the camp, but were denied by local authorities who also refused to grant us interviews. we did, however, manage to hear from one of the people in the camp. he sent us these pictures. he told us via fawn that people are suffering from diseases like scabies, diarrhea, and pneumonia. that there is not enough food and no medical care. he says 70 people, including 5 children,

have diet since december due to lack of medicines and food. no one knows when the border towns residence will return, or if they will ever get to call a balla their home again. since the outbreak of the conflict, human rights groups have reported atrocities committed by both rebel groups and the ethiopian army journalists. carletta one, joe. he in the view in capital, addis ababa has an update on the latest masculine or amir. well, at the moment, what we know is a government says it's still working on investigating what really happened. there are marriage and where we, we've seen people, especially from the am herrera, ethnic group having being targeted. and the government sees it has security under control. and that the region there is really under, under control. and it is one of the companies that the government is really battling with, alongside the other on the north region. and at the moment we just have both sides blaming each other. we've seen the that the side of, of the rebels,

the animal liberation army saying that it's not that they're not responsible, a blaming the government, but the government saying that as a government, they cannot, they cannot do the 2nd is their own citizens. so that matter is under under investigations right now, and you and i was just talking about it with antonio terrace. they're your secretary general saying that the government needs to investigate and ensure that this kind of achilles don't happen. and just last week the philippine president abbey archman said he was ready to consider talks with a to grew people's liberation front. and now one of its partners allegedly committed this latest massacre. does that jeopardize the prospect of peace talks? well, i think we're with it with the aspect of that the northern region where the government was talking about a pistol stack. that was the prime minister explained to parliament that the government is willing to look into what is it called having a steady committee that would look into the nitty gritty as of the details that would be required for p for p stocks to happen? what would it take in a way that does not operate as national security? and that was in particular the issue in the northern region,

which is that the g p. a left, right, which is a bit separate from the issue of the oral miano. mia region could set to different regions. so with that, the gum, we're waiting for. what a report from what the gum and said is a study committee that is supposed to give feedback to the government and probably not in some few days. and then we'll see what, what, what steps will the government take because are they already on the other side because, believe has provide and said they want, they will be to hold it talks and to, to facilitate. but we still have to have the to, well, what we can call what infectious agreeing and getting a compromise. so until the government gets its results from this committee, then can be able to know what, what's, what's, what kind of a piece talks if any they want. but so far we can see at least that his appetite will be stops, which gives some hope. ok collette when joe he, thanks so much for that. let's take a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. british rail workers are staging their biggest national strike in 30 years. it works will largely be brought to a standstill on tuesday, thursday and saturday. this week,
