standing shopping and dining office, enjoy our services will be our guest at frankfurt airport city, managed by fraud. ah ah, ah ah, this is dw news, a y from berlin. ukrainian troops expand their territorial gains as russian forces make a hasty retreat in the heart. reject president zalinski says ukrainian horses will continue their advance in the south and the east. coming up on the show,

10 defendants go on trial in brussels, are accused of carrying out the 2016 terror attacks. they killed 32 people and wounded hundreds more in the belgian capital and the people of scotland with their queen. farewell. in the city of adam brock, king charles the 3rd leads a procession with his mother's coffin to saint giles cathedral. ah, hello, i am clear. richardson, thanks much for joining president. vladimir zalinski says ukrainian forces have retaken 6000 square kilometers of territory. since the beginning of the month. the ukrainian military says it's recaptured an additional 20 north eastern towns and villages in just the past day. as thousands of russian troops pull back there, leaving behind equipment, this abandon tank is one of many left behind. in the panic russian retreat from the

hockey region in a nearby village vehicles and piles of ammunition, testified to the russians. hasty withdrawal in the face of the ukrainian advance ukraine's military command as pledge to push on. although with those, the deliberation of settlements from the russian invaders in the hockey and donetta regions continues. as previously reported during the retreat, russian troops quickly abandoned their positions and fled deep into the temporarily occupied territories or the russian federations territory for this trained persist center, but he hides the russian command has played down the setback. and president vladimir putin has yet to acknowledge it. instead striking a defined note on western sanctions that could the good i see it will lead in us by russia is confidently handling the external pressure. so essentially

a financial and technological aggression will you coming from certain countries that ticket in the economic blitzkrieg tactics they were counting on that haven't works, which is obvious to everyone, including them was actually the last year he didn't. it wasn't finished putting silence as not stop growing criticism off the military's dismal performance. that could turn out to be a problem for the president, despite a harsh crack done on descend. since the outbreak of the war hooting can still count on the russian orthodox church to be a pillow of support, he played them will national much to day as we live in a very difficult time. al prayer is a special one for the head of our state and supreme commander in chief vladimir vladimir of his putin, who bears the special responsibility if he does so, bear so bad yesterday. but ship will continue to go badly for russia. pressure will mount on the leader who not long ago,

seemed unassailable. earlier i spoke with bradley bowman from the center on military and political power at the foundation for defensive democracies. i asked him whether the momentum has a shift in favor of ukraine. i think the short answer to your good question is yes, clearly i think your lead out there was correct in saying what we're seeing is not some organized regrouping or, or as we call in the military and retrograde. this is a hasty retreat and, and the evidence that i would point to, as your intro point to do is that they're leaving a lot of equipment and vehicles and ammunition behind, and that's going directly into the arsenals of the ukrainian forces. so clearly the momentum is with ukrainian forces. it's too early to declare victory, right? some retreats result in routes and lead to routes and some lead to lee retreating forces, consolidating, defensive winds, and ultimately stopping of the counter offensive. it remains to be seen,

which we'll see here, but almost every metric you want to look at and say right now is in the favor of key, not moscow. and these are traits to also show that ukraine can do more than just resisting russian invasion. i do think this is a turning point in the war. you know, i hope so. i think the ukrainians have demonstrated all along that they have the bravery and the ability and our willingness to fight to defend our homes. what's been an open question is whether the west has the staying power to ride ukrainians, the weapons they need this current counter offensive has been enabled by among other things. the long range weapons that we've provided, particularly high, will build the artillery rocket systems which have hit their logistical nodes and weaken their frontline forces and left them less supported. there's more that the united states in germany and the united kingdom and others can do. i think now is the time to increase that support not reduce it so that they can defeat this

unprovoked invasion of their country. and we've also even been seeing criticism of the kremlin coming from russian military bloggers who are in favor of this war in ukraine. what are they saying, and what do you make of that? i mean, i think it's very significant, right? because why are putin as attempted to conceal the truth from the russian people? because if they understood that this, that this is a war of choice and the understood, the extraordinary costs of that russian forces are pain there because of his horrible decision in domestic support with a road. and so he's tried to conduct the war on the cheap while avoiding mass mobilization, but the fact you're seeing outright criticisms on rush and state media is significant. and the quickest path to this war ending latin recruiting indian is unprovoked invasion. so we have to raise the cost there and we have to send a message far wide that you can't use military force to change international borders just because you don't like them. and barring, why don't we put in retreating,

which there's no indication we have that that is anywhere near on the horizon, many military experts i've spoken to have been warning of a long war of attrition. i do think that is still going to be the case. i think the burden of proof is on anyone who says that this is going to end any time soon. i don't see, as you say, any indication of latter opinion is going to give up. i don't think he really gives a darn about the suffering soldiers. we've, you know, they've lost more russian forces and in 7 months in ukraine than they lost a decade enough. janice, dan, none the less put, impresses on. so that means i think the west needs to press on and provide the, creating the means defend their homes. so that we don't see worse in europe, and we don't have countries like beijing or china like, or iran, seeing that they can compress their political objectives with military force as well. or at the moment at the foundation for defensive democracies in washington d. c. thank you so much for taking the time. thank you. to belgium now where 10 men accused of carrying out the 2016 brussels terror attacks have gone on trial. 32

people were killed and hundreds injured when suicide bombers detonated explosives at the airport. and on the metro during the cities rush hour, he atlantic state group later claim responsibility. pre trial proceedings are now underway. the trial will begin in october. of course one, terry shalt is covering that trial in brussels for us. let's hear her assessment of what has happened so far. this preliminary hearing was due to deal with the procedures of the trial, determining how many people will be allowed to give testimony, in which order they'll speak. what evidence will be admissible at the trial and things like that. but there was a lot of emotion in the courtroom today. and that's because this is the 1st time the victims are coming face to face with the men accused of perpetrating these attacks. one woman said she felt afraid to be in the same room with them. another woman told me, she'd really tried to prepare herself emotionally for this moment. and it was nonetheless very, very difficult. there was

a lot of emotion on the side of the defendants as well. they're very angry that they're being expected to both watch the proceedings and give their testimony from inside individual glass boxes. now it's long foresman wanted this for security reasons, but the defendant say this is treating them like animals and the attorney say this makes them look guilty before the trial even starts. nonetheless, victims are telling us they would very much like to see the men have to stay in those glass boxes. now of these 10 men, one is being trying, an obsession is actually presumed to be dead. 9 of them were here today and of them for have already been convicted in the paris attacks. they're all alleged to have been taking part in this terror. selda was uncovered in downtown brussels in that neighborhood of mall and beck. and one of them mohammed abrinay has actually admitted to, to being supposed to be the 3rd bomber at the airport and leaving a trolley of explosives there and walking out the door to be later apprehended by law enforcement. so certainly, some of this men have an uphill battle to prove their innocence. here at the
