and it could, and without me, with, ah, ah, this is debbie news live from berlin. ukraine accuses russia of acts of terror. present of little lensky says, of moscow, deliberately attacked civilians after mister strike. apartment blocks near odessa, killing more than 20 people. also coming up ukraine, asking turkey to detaining russian cargo ship,
2:01 pm
saying it's carrie brain stolen from ukrainian territories under russian occupation and topped us basketball star. brittany greiner goes on trial near moscow for drugs possession case, and holding as tensions ride between russia. the united states. ah, i'm going bullcrap. welcome to the program. powerful explosions have rock the city of nikolai of in ukraine's south. so the officials there are pleading with residence to remain an air raid shelters make a lie of region borders. odessa, where on friday, russian missiles hit several apartment blocks in the town. if sir, kiva cranium, president le mars lensky has called the attack a deliberate act of terror, an unarmed civilians. they were in their beds when russian missiles rained down on
2:02 pm
their homes. at least $21.00 people were killed in airstrikes including a 12 year old boy. president lensky called the attacks a deliberate act of terror. 3 or a gaping blanket, 3 missiles on an ordinary residential building on a 9 story block in which nobody was hiding any weapons, any military equipment or any ammunition that russian propagandists would claim such strikes. i aimed at it was a simple building, housing, a 160 people, ordinary people, civilians, to be. the strike also destroyed a recreation camp. a typical camp you'd find in a seaside area. good. yes is conscious. he deliberately targeted russian terror. darrel and not some mistake or an accidental missile strike. ukrainian military leaders believe the attacks were retaliation coming just hours after russian troops
2:03 pm
were forced to retreat from snake island. a strategically important outcrop in the black sea that's become a symbol of ukrainian resistance. and i say that the toll of russia's onslaught has been exacerbated by moscow's outdated arsenal. missiles built in the 19 sixties and seventies, with primitive guidance systems that can miss targets by up to a kilometer. but ukrainian forces are fighting what they call indiscriminate terror with precision. new satellite guided missile systems from the u. s. are starting to make a difference. high mobility artillery rocket systems, or high mars, with a range of over 40 miles, are already slowing russian advances was just a handful of these systems deployed. and more weaponry is on the way u. s. made the air defense systems with the capability to take out not only enemy planes, but also missiles are set to arrive within weeks. but until more help arrives,
2:04 pm
ukraine's civilian population is left facing the possibility of russian terror striking at any moment. have you corresponded nick conway, joins me now from the crania capital of keith. nick, good to see you. let's start with the latest from the front lines. or can you tell us what from clive, we're hearing from the authorities there of 14 wounded and in total, more than 250 people in hospital with injuries, they've sustained the russian text in the past few days and weeks. the basic, most important takeaways, even though this thing pretty tight lipped about the detail, is that as ukraine tries to advance their trust, take advantage. the fact that russia is focusing its efforts on the dumbass, russia is now starting to respond more aggressively. and that's also hitting a glove city of hundreds of thousands of people and overnight missile strikes, artillery strikes, i'll becoming unfortunately, basically
2:05 pm
a daily occurrence there. and we're seeing the numbers of injured and wounded even casualties go up quite significantly. so mc love is now a new hot spot on the map of ukraine and who's on the report as we've been hearing elsewhere. russian missiles are striking civilian infrastructure a long way from front lines and cities all around the country. does there appear to be any kind of strategy behind these attacks the ukrainians would say this is about scaring the ukraine population about indiscriminate strikes, far away from the front lines, basically to make sure that everyone here in ukraine is aware that there's no way in this country that is safe or the russians claim these rule military talks. they been going after them in case of claiming to co, a desa. they've come up with supposed a specific military targets. they say they were trying to hit, they don't really explain how it was that the civilians end up losing their lives. and i think the most important takeaway here is that russia is running out of high
2:06 pm
tech weapons, is increasingly using weapons that were designed up to 5060 years ago. some of the actually designed to hit ships rather than ground targets. and they are notorious for basically coming sometimes hundreds of meters if not clumps away from their intended target. so there's definitely a willingness on the part of the russians there to take the civilian casualties if you will, for the course, they're willing to use these missiles, whatever the humanitarian, civilian impact and are now going to summer. there's a fear here in ukraine that russia's was gonna try and make life a lot more difficult for ordinary civilians by tracking power systems. both systems, basic infrastructure in dictation that that will force the population to basically put pressure on the government to make comp concessions threatens so possibly less precise weapons being used on the russian side. whereas we're hearing that more advanced weaponry from the west is getting to ukrainian forces. does this seem to be changing their ability to fight russian troops and protect their own civilians?
2:07 pm
for now, they're still waiting for missile systems that could actually prevent these kind of missile attacks. they can shoot our russian plain, but shooting down russian who sells a lot harder we since they call and that they were able to push out the russians on that local level. but in, for now, that the, the numbers aren't there to make the impact on the bigger stage on the battlefields of dumbass to better ukraine is playing for time. the hope that these western weapons arrive on the scale needed to really start a counterattack. steve, your corresponding connelly, they're in keys. thanks very much. ukraine is asked turkey to detain a russian flagged ship that keeps as his carrying stolen ukrainian grain. the cargo ship she bent joey is currently anchored off the turkish black c port of carrasco. ukraine says it sailed from the ukrainian port. a bare nest, which is currently under russian control. give is accusing russia of stealing wheat and other grain from ukrainian territories occupied by russian forces.
2:08 pm
let's take this one apart with corresponded dorian jones, who's joining me now from is danville dorian. what 1st of all, what more can you tell us about the ship? well the, the ship is currently um i could just off to turkish coast to and the tech support of course. so that's about a 180 kilometers from istanbul, where there is the is the, the basra straits where the ship will have to pass through to go on to world markets. now according to reuters news agency, the ukranian justice ministry center, a document to on cro, where a call for the ship to be stopped. it says it is carrying a legally ha, taken grain from ukraine, from the, the poll tova. but the answer is something regional 4 and a half 1000 tons. and it's schooling, conduct forces to seize it, and to confirm that that the congress carrying we're using forensic methods is from ukraine. now it's unclear to how to corporate this at the moment,
2:09 pm
given the fact that the ships transponders which is used to monitor its movements. they weren't turned on until it had left the port and was, are around the crimea region. so it could well come from. but the answer, or he could have come from the russian pulse of never roast, which is also a supply point for ukraine. now we're the owners of the ship. as a cossack company, they said they all ready to cooperate, but they said they leased it to another company and says it's unclear what their status is at the moment. and at the moment we'll wait and see what the turkish authorities will do. now is assuming that that ukraine has a case here, does turkey even have the legal authority to do what it's asking and has turkey signal that it might do that? well, if it is so, just mold off carrasco, it presumably ease in turkish territorial waters. that's not at the moment confirmed, but having said that the ship would have to pass through the basra straits a here in the stumble. and that would give the opportunity for turkey to stop the ship. although that could cause a mate,
2:10 pm
a diplomatic incident with russia as they are very strict rules on the use of the boston street, that guarantee ships that they should be able to pass with impunity. but turkey suddenly would have an opportunity. the turkish foreign minister metal a chavis' shoulder had said they all ready to cooperate over any claims of stolen. great. this comes off to the ear, ukrainian ambassador, the turkey had accused turkey companies of you, of well buying stolen grey. now turkey said they are investigating those claims, they are ready to cooperate. but this whole question puts, took in a very difficult position, is position itself is a balancing a facilitator to bring an end to this conflict has good relations with both moscow anc here, and it's also working to create a grain cordele to get these millions of tons of grain until walt mafia, given that there is a weld food shortage, but turkey now is in a very tight spot is under pressure on that lee from care. but it also will be facing pressure from moscow as well. very complex situation unfolding of dorian jones, our correspondence and bowl has got covered thanks very much. now, one of the biggest stars of us, women's basketball,
2:11 pm

2:12 pm
and it endangers the safety of every one travelling living and working studying abroad. i can assure you that the united states government, at the very highest levels, is working very hard to bring miss griner, as well as all wrongfully detained us. citizens safely home. tensions between russia and the u. s. are high over the russian war against ukraine. western analysts say russia is using greiner as a political pon, while kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess cough denies any political motives behind the arrest. but russian state media have suggested a prisoner exchanged between washington at the kremlin, potentially. swapping greiner for russian arms dealer, victor boot, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison, and the u. s. in 2012. you, as officials have declined to comment after 3 hours and courts greiner is heading back behind bars with our trials set to continue on thursday. her lawyer says it could last 2 months. the odds are seemingly stacked against her. russian courts
