we're still very, very early on, and this, if you look at what happened, ne, kia, where we saw those mass graves with a butcher paint. it was a question of weeks and months before they got to the bottom of things for they got final numbers, but yes, in recent hours we've heard from authorities there the previous estimate of the number of people killed and buried. there was about $400.00. we've now heard talk a former 50 original forgive or area official, spoke of 99 percent of people they had so far uncovered. having signs of a violent death, we don't always know what violent death means. some of them, as you mentioned, they're both. there are, there are signs of torture. others could have been victims of the shelling of the fighting. that is, you saw in the 1st few weeks of the war when the russian forces came in there. but definitely there's the expectation in this part of the world that this is not gonna be the last mass gray found. there's gonna be more of this to come, even if it's can take quite some time to get names and to reconstruct what happened to all these people buried there in that 1st. more vistacomm,

clearly it's another trauma for survivors. how are ukrainians in the newly liberated areas adjusting after 6 months of occupation? we traveled to a village, just north of frat, give close to the russian border somewhere. we can still hear active fighting going on because there's still a lot of shelling going on along the ukrainian russian border even if you crane has re taken most the vast majority of the territory of the active region. i think it's a bit too early for people to really process what's going on for now. people are just in a bit of a days trying to work out what is possible, what's not most if they still don't have electricity, they still don't have mobile phone connections. they can't often enough tell their families in other parts of ukraine that they're okay at the area is still a full of minds. a lot of a fear there of just here exploring their surroundings and blocks people that told us that, you know, there still, it's people missing people who are arrested by the russians who, who tried to get safety and went missing on their journey is to safety, presumed dead and 30 percent that they are now desperate for those

d mining crews to come in to give them a chance to check and see if there are more of these graves, this any trace of their loved ones who are often still on account for weeks and months after, after the occupation began, nick, what's happening right now with the ukranian counter offensive? well, obviously, it slowed down a bit. that is partly because, obviously there was a huge effort for ukraine's forces. and partly because this was the weakest part of russia's military front lines in ukraine. so the rest, if you go coast towards dumbass, it is better defended. but it does seem that ukraine is still kind of a collecting new victories and is moving close to civil done yet durham. but that's the big city in the hot region which russia took at huge cost to its own soldiers in terms of lives and resources. so there's hope, hear that this can be more good news from the front lines ahead, but definitely a bit of a, a kind of calm here and a kind of a bit of a break while ukraine's forces re groups planning where the next move will be to

nick connelly in hockey's many thanks. as always. earlier, marina mirand from the center for military ethics at kings college london filters hail ukraine was able to push back the russian troops in the northeast. they have seen some really impressive offensive capabilities in the north. so in the region of resume, which is c, r a, keep all blessed and close to russia's border. however, we're still seeing some difficulties in the south. so essentially, the reason for the success, and it was a surprise whose russian forces as they have moved their troops to the south, expecting the so called her so on offensive. however, as a couldn't hold the ground to ins, noise, and the amount of ukrainian troops deployed was a nose and offensive was outnumbering. whatever was left there of the russian poor

says so the best they could do was retreat to save men our right. now the question is that was a tactical gain, was a ukrainian military, however they need to hold at ground. and so it is too early to tell how's that will turn out. that being sad, they definitely undermined roches plans in, in military tactical sense. again, marina mirand, they're an honorary research fellow in the defense studies department center for military ethics at kings college london. now to some of the other stories i'm making news around the world at this, our president vladimir putin has told india the rend remedy that he understands india's concerns about the conflict in ukraine, and he wants it to end as soon as possible. the comment comes after prime minister modi told the russian leader that today's era is not an era of war. one was a lot of iran's president has ordered a probe into the death of

if at all reflected there for you can definitely see it when you look at the prices of the be, it is around $1213.00 a euros one later up at b a. but for many, as i just mentioned, is not just the coven 19th on them, it is not playing any role at all, but also not at that price to so you can see inflation when it comes to food. and also when it comes to be, when it comes to other things that people can buy here. but they say, if we're common, if we finally can come talk to us up to 2 years of a 2 year long break after the coven 19 pandemic, they're willing to pay that money as well. thank you. d. w corresponded benyamin alvarez gruber in munich watching d w news coming up our documentary series doc film looks at iran from above. that's after the break. and don't forget, you can find more news and headlines on our website. d, w dot com. i'm michael oke,
