he's in 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards juice is still pervasive. the history of antisemitism. this week on d. w. ah . this is dw news life from berlin, despite a potential new russian bush in the east of ukraine, western intelligence agencies of warning, of new danger on the countries border with by the ross. we get a 1st hand account of the situation. their entry link is government coals full. com, amid the chaos with fuel prices heating record highs. the government asks citizens

to stay at home while opposition leaders are unable to agree on who replaced the president ah, i beg fissile unwelcome in ukraine authorities a warning that moscow is gearing up for a new push in the don bass. but it's not just the east of ukraine causing concern. ukraine's border with by the roast is also seeing a troubling military build up western intelligence agency, se russian soldiers and weapons systems, a ready and waiting, and beller was to open a new front against ukraine. something that would stretch keeps forces considerably . t w's. nick connelly went to the border region. nation if to see for himself here, when you cranes board with bruce, who never really alone. we're not

through not sure that drones, one of ours blown actually it is but that's not a given. it was a russian drone attack from across the border. the started the war for these ukrainian border gods on february 24th. they tried to keep russian forces on the bellow, recite by blowing up the bridge. but the russians came all the same and stayed for nearly a month. and the russians left in april. the shooting round. here is lot. you been restricted to exercises on both sides of the border fear now, many ukrainians that russia's exercises in belarus could suddenly turn into real warfare just like they did in february. russian forces have never left belarus. instead, their so called exercises keep getting extended. ukrainian leaders long said their presence was just a distraction or a bluff rather than a real threat. but recently, russian troop numbers of the board have risen in the tone from bell russian leda, alexander lucas shanker,

has grown ever more aggressive. ukraine's actions are also speaking a different language. these images from the bell, russian government apparently show ukrainian forces mining their side of the border in recent days. much of the 1000 kilometer frontier between ukraine and belarus was barely marked, let alone defended before this war. bucklin trips across the board of groceries to see a doctor or part and every day life was not all that you ca, ruiz, to go to bella. ruth law and they would come to us before you die. all just got on somehow little the. i didn't even think a war like this was even possible. i showed me a holler. who knows what snack center could do my. the war has taken its toll on many family ties. the span this border. ha ha, there's not many people here in the village have relative unadilla russian side, religion. some of them have stopped talking to each other because of the war. i believe ukraine will when eventually it has to woo,

we can't afford to lose many locals. here. we've given up their jobs to try to make sure that holds true. what you, what on it? we have a security guard. we're g, a driver, shop assistance year, portable and locksmiths. ah. unless he is lazara constantine's life changed overnight when he was called up put in charge of dozens of men niterra, chill, defense force. his experience some brief military training university. he'd never actually fought over me. she's fundamentals me in the the people and other places, god know what it feels like when in the line, bombs are falling. when your child is terrified of everything on our way of saw. you've shown up the club one most of us here have never even been in a fight until the war and again, little bit. yup. and then when it starts with, you know, or if the enemy comes along, if you do what you need to do on the will the d at without thinking twice in astronomy, this new item. yet masvie here might seem black domestic neighbors. even father and

son serving side by side. the real sense of threat is never far away. caughtington tells us he's never yet had to call a family with news of a fatality. he doesn't sound sure, it'll stay that way. and let's talk to nick about his report. what's the likelihood of this true build up on the, by the russian border becoming a new front while for now, it does seem like the russians are building up their forces there. and this part of the country has been very quiet since the russians left the region around here in early april. and jeff, now people don't really want to believe that this is possible, but that was the same story in february when no one wants to believe this invasion is coming. i think the bigger picture is that russia is struggling to make the kind of gains that they expected and wanted to. yes, they're taking villages and towns at a slow pace in the east, but nowhere near the kind of catastrophic ukrainian defeat that the kremlin had

hopeful that lots of western analysts thought would happen. so there is now growing pressure on the russian forces to make gains in a hurry to really satisfy their political masters in moscow. and so opening a 2nd front coming in again from another direction, forcing ukraine to spread itself more thinly. that is something that is now for the 1st time, basically a month being seen as a potential realistic option. how important would you say, bella ross's support has been full russia m. it's crucial here or where i am in care of. it's basically a 100 kilometers direct line to the beller russian border. ukraine is incredibly vulnerable. that border hadn't ever really been something that figured in military planning. lots. it goes to forests and bogs and is barely demarcated, let alone it kind of provided for with defensive or kind of facilities and also all the bases, lots of rocket attacks. lots of air attacks on ukraine are still carried out from below. russian air bases allows russia to hit targets across ukraine with great

ease, without using the kind of expensive cruise missiles that have a longer range. so it really has made ukraine incredibly vulnerable it on top of busy 2000 kilometers of borders in front lines with russia. there's another 1000 kilometers that basically go along ukraine's northern edge all the way to the e. u. and those cities are key to russia, basically, keeping up the pressure in ukraine. and the people of bella rose, how wide they about getting dragged into is conflict, even deeper. think no one's asking them for now obscene. alexander lic sankoh is very firmly in the seat after basically putting down those protests after the stolen election of 2020. but all the kind of sociology, all their kind of air surveys of this difficulty that in those kind of condition developers show that this is not a popular campaign in billers. unlike russia, there is no popular spot for this. i think the bell russian population is willing to be silent as long as it is only better is offering up its bases and providing

logistical support to russia to russian forces in belarus. but as soon as i look shanker tries to send bell russian forces across that border into ukraine, i think the expectation is that there will be a lot more in the way of resistance, potentially desert deserting soldiers, some kind of unrest in the military. they're so very difficult. trish oligopoly, jenko who is totally dependent on the kremlin and vladimir putin for keeping his own control of his country for keeping his own population under control. and his basing now facing growing demands from moscow, from russia to provide more ware support, to allow russia to really put on the screws on ukraine and get some kind of defeats here on the ukraine military. that would force key of to the negotiating table force, key of to make some kind of capitulation, to rush to month. economy reporting for us from the ukranian capital. kate, thank you very much. that is interesting. it's site for that trip. build up on the bell. russian border becoming problematic and perhaps becoming at the next front in

this war, which i would be wiring for you. crime a quick look at some other stories making news. now, if you'd rather form a japanese prime minister, chalabi has taken place in tokyo. thousands of mourners gathered outside the temple where the private service was held. abby was assassinated friday while campaigning in the city of norah, just days before a parliamentary election. panama has announced measures to counter rising fuel and food costs. following nationwide protests president lauren tino called t 0 said gas prices will be reduced and staple food prices frozen. it will be our plan. i mean that the, as president wants to boost the country's defense spending and make military service compulsory for all citizens 18 to 27. as soon as next year, proposals will have to be reviewed by parliament before taking effect. the naval member has already committed to raising its defense budget in response to the russian invasion of ukraine firefighters in spain of battling forest fires,

spots by an extreme heat wave, and drown. residents had to be evacuated from their home to the south west in extreme at dora region. neighboring portugal is also fighting a number of places for lank as political crisis is now hitting citizens at the gas pump with record high prices. in an effort to conserve fuel, the embattled government is asking people to work from home and has closed schools . restaurants have switch to cooking meals with wood. thousands of protesters enraged by the countries worse and economic crisis. stuart the presidential compound and the prime minister's private home for the weekend was the president and prime minister have agreed to step down opposition leaders, a racing to form, and you government lawyer and human rights campaigner for valley. fonseca joins us from the center for policy alternatives. in colombo, there are reports that the president and his brother are already attempting to

leave the country. can you tell us how this is going down with protesters? well, what we've seen in the last few days is quite remarkable in terms of the numbers that have arrived at the protest sites. and as a result, we've seen the precedent agreeing to resign as well as the prime minister agreeing to resign. they have yet to resign. and this is something we need to keep in mind that a few days later are we still have a president and prime minister holding on to office. and now it's been reported that the president and his younger brother attempted to leave sri lanka. i, we're waiting for very fading to mission betty dos a look, say people at the airport as well as staff members prevented them from leaving. so there is real anger and frustration among people in sri lanka. and it looks say, people also want reckoning from the political leadership for the present crisis.

i want to bring us back to this storming of the presidential palace. the footage we saw was absolutely amazing. was it, or was it a clear sign that this is the end of president roger parcher and his family's grip on politics? well, we need to keep in mind that the purchase started several months ago. the produced started in march any to be expanded and spread to different parts of sri lanka. and the d mind has been very much clearly for the resignation of the precedent as well as the departure of the road to puck says, from acting politics. so that warning signs have been there, people have been peacefully protesting for months. what happened on saturday, as you quite rightly said, was remarkable in terms of the numbers that came out. and the fact that after months of protesting, they were able to breach an into board the presidential palace as well as the

official office, the secretariat. also that sent a clear message that time was up and the president had to resign as well as the prime minister. and in that context, it's still shocking that they're still holding on to office because the people have been very clear with their demand. when it comes to the process of appointing new political leaders, but what will they have the legitimacy to bring about the political stability that's needed in the country? well, we are in a political, any konami crisis and stability, critical, any incumbent on anyone who's going to take on the job that this is going to be human priority to, to re ensure that these economic recovery now it's going to be a mammoth taos, as to whoever takes it on how they're going to address this. i need to require a lot of attention and support what they did, clear part in terms of a resignation of the precedent. the constitution provides for

a clear part. there can be an acting prime needs, a precedent who can be in office for 30 days, and it's up to parliament has been elect a member of parliament to serve the remainder of the period so days, a clear constitution provision. and a part way to address that with whoever takes it on will also require the support of parliament. so there legitimacy will really be dependent and will be tested in the coming weeks and months as to whether they are able to address it. that the opposition opposition leader has come forward and said he, he's interested. so the next few days are going to be interesting and hand fluid in sri lanka. bonnie fonseca, thank you very much for bringing us up to date of the situation there. thank you. it was 13000000000 years in the making. the white house has revealed the 1st full
