prison in the eastern frontline town of lanier. the kremlin instead has accused ukraine of carrying out the attack. dw correspondent, funny for char, isn't cheap and earlier she told me more about what had happened at the prison camp . first of all, it's really difficult to establish a picture here because it's impossible for us journalists at this point to access this site. also, in fact, international renovations, like red cross in the un, are not present a at red cross, just requested actually yesterday that they want to be there. they want to make sure that those soldiers who are wounded and still alive, that they can be taken out, and the ones who have been killed can be evacuated, taken out in a very dignified way. now why we do not really know the conditions, the circumstances, circumstances under which this attack happened, russia and ukraine, blame each other for the destruction of this facility that appears to have killed scores of ukrainian soldiers among them from the as of regiment. what we can say

that the prison 1st of what exists, and that in that facility, hundreds of ukrainian soldiers were held after the surrendered of from the as of south steel pending mar, you pull in a me, denay. and from here on the picture gets blurry. even though, if you ask people here on the ground, they will tell you that if you look at those pictures, the very 1st images that emerge on, on, on, on from that facility that everything points to will russia. because if you look at those bodies apart the charge from inside the facility, but you also see bodies laying around their outside at the facility. and i would actually ask people who do not have to look at this images now to do so. so if you, if you look at those images, ukrainians here will tell you this was russia, but as i say, we cannot confirm any of it at this point. as i say, no access to decide. and we just have to see when, for example, the rats cross that where it was apart when the,

the soldiers that were surrendering and murray pool and hopped into a vacuous from there. and we have to see when they will have access to side. and what more they will be able to tell us. so funny how have people in ukraine reacted to this attack? people are very angry, angry because they feel that the international community at this point didn't really seem to, could condemn these attacks hard enough for it on a higher level. in fact, president zalinski pointed out in his video night video address and social media yesterday he wants washington to declare russia a terrorist state, a country that's ponderous terrorism, and obviously asking most of the you and a rat cross to investigate this because un and red cross guarantee that the prisoners a fool i going to be treated according to geneva convention. now a lot of questions are surrounding what may or may have not happened there. but one thing is clear. people here are angry and they want to know why this is possible. a

why certain laws international laws are not cap that have to be maintained, even when there's a war on going to people are angry while at the same time, others are saying this is just the way for russia to provoke ukrainian soldiers committing the very same will crimes, financial reporting from keith. now ukraine is ready to restart, grain exports hoping to help ease the global food crisis. president holiday miss lensky says ships are ready to depart under un deal. the grain will be exported from 3 ports on the black sea where mines have been laid in the water. once international monitors have made sure the ships are only carrying grain, ukrainian vessels will guide them through the mine fields and they will sell towards turkey. and the boss frustrate a cloud of dust to ropes, as grain is loaded on to a merchant ship. in the port city of odessa, ukraine's president's his on hand to inspect the loaded vessels ahead of departure

. let us assume numbers of this is the 1st vessel being loaded up since the war began to sing, which acquiring, i'm standing in front of a turkish ship, a more yes than of this means the board has started operating. what is the most important thing for us is that the port is operating and that people are working on divorce. millions of tons of ukrainian grain have been held for months and silos and ships blockaded by russia on the black sea, sending food prices soaring around the world. according to a recent deal, bro could by the u. n. and turkey merchant ships will be given safe passage in and out of key ukrainian ports. this agreement, as a, as the secretary general said, is not just important for ukraine and ukraine's economy. but these is important for the world because it will help to prevent a global food crisis. official say more than a dozen ships loaded with grain are ready to leave a ram moments of good news and the 5 month long war. the u. s. has announced

further sanctions on russian individuals and entities for supporting what it calls the global maligned influence of the kremlin. followed a cold between secretary of state anthony blinkin and russian foreign minister sergey leverage. the 2 men spoke by phone for the 1st time since rush invaded ukraine in february. during the exchange blink and toll, his russian counterpart that moscow's annexation of ukraine will never be accepted, spoke with brushing foreigners, whoever dw correspondent mikayla kuth not in washington has more details on the fresh us sanctions. oh, it was made quite clear in that statement that came from the secretary of state as the so while after comments on that telephone conversation, that these were sanctions, in addition to those already imposed over ukraine, that they were very much separate and that they were because of russia's, quote, malign influence on elections,

but also democratic institutions around the world. this goes back to the less meddling in u. s. elections. and this is quite interesting because it wasn't raised in connection with that telephone conversation that was much more f on close to home masses for the americans and who have put in what they call a serious offer on the table to try and secure the release of to us citizen. so this really is a wholesale condemnation of russia's influence on democracy's world wide. and that's why individuals and entities are targeted here in the united states who are seen as anti international and anti democratic michelle a case not in washington dc. there. let's have a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. this francis says he's considering stepping aside from the papacy. the 85 year old made the comment after returning from
