city was liberated authority say it's one of the largest burial sites found in any city recaptured from the russian army. ukrainian police say most of the people buried there are civilians. and the united nations is planning to send monitors to verify the findings. a pine forest hiding a horrific mass. grave and ukrainian soldiers have found more than $400.00 bodies buried near the city of israel. after it was freed from russian control over here lie the bodies of 17 of their comrades, surrounded by hundreds of individual graves with only crushes to mark them. typical william, we only found this place because russian soldiers opposed to the video online that the for sure with that would save you those over and with whom i am on the cross that says they're 17 bodies. but on that video, well, in that there were more usa,

we should, that we have not counted them yet, but i think there must be at least 25 or 30 body will say she may be, this is not the only math grade here. and we now have to work and identify every one who died here calling ah, earlier this week, president cilenzo erased the ukrainian flag. and as you know, the city have been under russian control for more than 5 months. it now shows scenes of destruction. visibility and people are without running water, electricity, or heat. so lensky said an investigation would follow the findings in the forest. me which machine we want the world to know what is happening and what the russian occupation has led to watch in butcher mario, paul. and now unfortunately,

is you see if russia is leaving death behind it everywhere and must be held responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. then we will do everything for this little more. said little ukraine age to re claim all its territory after we taking is e m. however, russia still holds around a 5th of the country. a correspondent, nick connelly in a high key says ukrainian authorities now faced the task of piecing together the circumstances behind those mass graves. all what we've been hearing from the region is that some of these people are believed to have been killed to have lost their lives during artillery during shelling of their town. but the big picture is that we don't have any real indication that the russian army, seeing if we change its behavior towards the civilians compared to what we saw earlier in the year. the spring around kira baseline had been in butcher. so definitely there is that expectation of lots of gruesome discoveries and new mass

graves to come in villages that have been recently elaborated from russian forces. we came across people talking about people who've disappeared, who just basically it have not been seen for weeks and months. people who tried to get to ukraine control territory through the russian lines and who lost their lives and whose body's not been recovered. there's definitely a sense that there is a lot more a lot more gruesome and sad at discoveries ahead. and i think important to him as that is going to take a very long time in case a butcher pin that was question of weeks and months before those dna analysis could be done before all the people, the can, the relatives, the families, that the friends of the people who lost their lives were found because in refugee crisis, like we've seen in ukraine, people are spread all across the country in western europe, summer in russia. so before they can really make a kind of full picture of what's gone that it's going to take weeks. but of see, these are shocking images and ones that are likely to reach themselves in towns around this region. ukrainian forces pushed russian troops out of izzy in a week ago as part of this lightening counter offensive. and have they been able to

maintain that momentum since then? it is still going, it hasn't stopped, but it is going into a slower pace. there are a few reasons for that, and the russians now have some slightly more advantageous kind of bits of geography helping to protect their new front lines, rivers, and ground that it's easier to defend and oversee. this has been a huge shock to the russian military ships. they have sent reinforcements in, but we are seeing that the loss of these territories has really hit a russia hard in terms of logistics. his ability, bringing resources and manpower to the dumbass region was a lot of fighting. now, i can se from where i am now close to the cities of this a chance at which, if you remember on the summer, was a huge russian victory that was bought at the cost of thousands of russian life. so since that ukraine is looking to push the russians back from their most recent or recent wins, it's brought to member here ukraine has in the space of basically

a week recovered. more church than rush picked up in more than 5 months. that gives you sense of just how kind of that of one imbalance there is here in terms of what russia spent weeks and months achieving and ukraine's now be able to roll back it commonly reporting from a key sites. how much and i'm joined now by olga re danco, ukrainian journalist and the editor in chief of the key independent. that's a key based to english language online use al at the outlet that was set up just a few months before rushes invasion of ukraine. olga welcome to d w. can i start with the discovery of the mass grave? outside is e m, and can i ask you if you fear the discovery of more mass atrocities in areas that ukrainian troops have recaptured from russian occupation? absolutely, yes, this is the main feeling that we get from from looking at what as far as you know and turn even ever since the early april. one was so boucher, there's been

a conversation about that. this is what we're going to see. you know many more times unfortunately, and of course the, the, the places that we fear, the most money will boiler and the rest of the $1000.00 ukraine where a satellite images show us that there are mass graves are only open and we don't know how many is are we don't know how many people are there? how many were killed, how many bird? and unfortunately, yes, we expect many more of this and assume was just just a proof of how much, how much more is coming in it's, it's terrible to watch your media operation, the key, independent. it's less than a year old, but it has for fast become one of the most important news sources in ukraine. i believe that you now have over 2000000 twitter followers. can you describe to me how your life has changed over the last year? oh, it changed, she changed her so much,

but that is if she was for everybody in ukraine. of course, when we set up the q independent in the end of last year, this is not what we expected to do. we did not expect that all of us will become walk respondents. and you know what we thought it was very important to have a publication ukraine. we did not expect you know, that there's going to be an actual fall out war and our presence there will be even more needed then. then we could imagine and you know, that defines our lives and our job. can you tell me a little bit about the staff, the report is that you have working for you and give us a sense of what it's like of the challenges involved in reporting, as you say, in a war zone. and at the same time is your home or there are so, i mean, 1st of all, it's a very young team, it's a team of for right now it's 27 people and most of them on the twenty's. that's how young they are. and for most of them,

this is the 1st time they have experienced reporting from, from clients, from a war zone, from a country that is going through an active after war. and it's, it's very challenging, but they're doing very bravely. but of course it's you know, it's a special challenge when it's your home and we have people for example, who had to report from boucher you know, about atrocities in boucher and while their families were also in boucher. so they were safe that the federalist survived. but it is this, it gets this personal or it. so we're just talking about is zoom and a lot of us. no, no people who were killed and fighting your resume. one of our journalists for my partner was killed new york several months ago. so it's, it's all very personal, it's old, you know, behind ever had when behind a restore is there is, there is a personal element that readers don't necessarily see, but it's,

there can stand. you're on your way back from speaking at a media conference here in germany. and now the event ended with a ceremony and awards handed out to honor the people of ukraine. tell us how you felt about us award on bittersweet. because you know where to shade all the attention. know the words that sir ukraine is getting now, but also very much aware of what the prices for that. that's the 1st part of it. and the 2nd part is that there is, of course, a feeling in ukraine, both among the people in among the government, the leadership that germany is not doing enough for ukraine in the moment. and to, to, you know, to get an award to recognize the resilience and bravery of the plaintiff was very nice. but at the same time, i know that ukraine would prefer to get the things that it asks from germany. and that is, of course have a weapons. okay, you're,

you're clearly very passionate about your country. you've described how hard it is to be a journalist, reporting from a war that is in your own country. so explain to us and you know, how difficult is it, how do you see this going forward, reporting, supporting your war, your country at war with russia at the same time as producing independent, unbiased journalism. it is a very challenging time to be chosen, you crane, because you have to draw a line between being a citizen of your country and being a journalist. and there is, you know, there are textbooks in journalism about how we do that. really, if you fall in things you follow the principles of journals when you try to find a balance and you make those decisions every day. but i think we're doing, we're, we're doing our best. and i'm frankly amazed by, by how our team was doing hope, brave they are how and how at the same time they stick to the principles and values

of journalism and just for reporting and i see that there was many are the premium channels. i think this time, you know, a while ago we crane journals got a special citation from the poet surprise for their work under reporting from the war. and it was so much deserved. and it might just me every day. the bravery and resilience of my colleagues. although danco editor in chief of the keith independent, thank you so much for speaking to us here at the w. thank you. and his look at some of the other developments related to the war in ukraine. berlin has but the germans subsidiary of russian oil giant rose nest. under trusteeship, that means a federal regulator will take control of a large refinery in the eastern germantown of fleet, which used to draw 100 percent of its oil from russia. germany has committed to ending all russian oil imports and is now looking for alternative sources to keep

the refinery running. russian president vladimir putin has hailed the growing influence of what he called new centers of power. at for the summit with asian leaders, including china's vision hang in as becker's done, he's keen to show russia has not been fully isolated by the conflict in ukraine. putin also denounced the use of sanctions. i went by western nations over his invasion to do who jeffrey of pope frances and said he believes it's morally right for countries to supply weapons to help ukraine defend itself against russia. the pontiff was commenting to journalists on a plane after returning from a religious conference in kazakhstan. he said the catholic church is just war. principles allow for proportional use of deadly weapons. smart voices have let him hear putin's russia poses the greatest current threat to nato. those of the words of german chancellor, all of charlotte's and a keynote speech delivered a short time ago to germany's armed forces. the bond is fair shaw. it's told that

german military leaders that they should accept that russia will define itself as an adversary to the european union, the u. s. and nato for the foreseeable future. and he said, germany's armed forces must become the best equipped military force in europe. dodson is polite and fumed. germany is ready to take on leadership responsibility for the security of our continent, continents. as before, gonzalez, the most populous nation in europe, with the largest economy, and as a country in the middle of a continent, and our army must become a corner stone of conventional defense in europe and best and owes anti come the best equipped military force. as is to see that is the goal. when dozens and we should be motivated by the knowledge that our european partners and friends do not perceive this go as a threat. he bought as reassurance zones. unbundling. he w as chief political correspondent, melinda crane, followed the chancellor speech. and i asked her if the german military is really

ready to take on a leading role in europe. security. certainly, the military is still very under equipped. the chancellor himself acknowledged major gaps and deficits in a military readiness and said that in fact, the buddhist fair is working on multiple fronts at the moment to try to close those gaps, not least with the increasing budgetary support. but as we heard there, he did make it clear that he sees this as an absolutely top priority. that germany equipped the bonus fair in such a way that it became can become a foundational pillar of european security. and he mentioned in germany's friends and allies in that, that remark that we just heard. in fact, many friends and allies found themselves asking in february after the chancellor gave his historic turning point speech. whether this represents the moment when

germany finally starts punching at its weight and actually assuming a security and defense rule commensurate with it's economic role in europe. and clearly the chancellor was saying, here we are ready to do that. he said, sometimes he's heard people ask, well, this new 100000000000 special fund to equip the bond is fair. does that mean it's going to be business as usual, but with a little more money. and he said, no, it's not. we have a different set of priorities going forward. now certainly the, those will, that will be music to the ears of those who are looking for germany to take on more leadership in that division of responsibility within nato. but many will still be waiting to see whether this government is ready to walk the talk. absolutely. and what else did the chancellor say in his speech? well, many people who were waiting to see whether he would mention additional weapons

deliveries and military support for ukraine will have been disappointed that was not on his agenda. but in fact, the defense minister had said yesterday that germany will now be supplying multiple missile launchers and also and also armored vehicles to ukraine. not however, the battle tanks that ukraine itself has been pushing for. and beyond that, there was a very clear acknowledgement from chancellor schultz that when the government looks to the risks that germany and europe face, as you mentioned earlier, russia is absolutely at the top of the threat list. but that these threats are not simply conventional, military and defense threats, but very much also cyber security threats, energy security threats, that demand and all of government approach really far beyond the military alone. and that also demand much stronger coordination with allies. he
