all region is also partly under russian occupation, and is one of the areas expected to be illegally annexed by moscow to day. and it connelly is in kia, nick, what more can you tell us about this attack on that con boyens operation? what we've been hearing from your thirties there that the number of wounded has risen to 50. it was previously thought to be just under 30 m. i think the important thing to bear in mind here is that this was basically a crossing point between ukrainian healthcare trans patricia and the russian occupied part of zappa. these are the people in those cars that we've seen on pretty gruesome images of social media. it is believed we're heading, chalked by charity to pick up relatively frenzy to bring them back to ukraine. mean controlled territory. also some humanitarian aid there. what you can see on the pictures, there's a sense that lots of these wounds and injuries will have been through shrapnel, through bits of broken glass. the cars that are seen on the pictures are not

destroyed for most bob, but are just full of holes windows all blown out. so very, very distressing him just coming out of there, the really ukraine, your thought is also saying that russia, lot of 16 missiles, which is really unusual in that concentration missiles with ukraine, say we're actually russian antiaircraft and t missile system. so a sense that russia is running out of more weapons running out of modern missiles and is using these kinds of systems to attack targets on land so sent, say that russia is also running out of options. it's indeed horrific that attacker in it comes as russia is about to illegally annexed for regions of ukraine, including zap or asia. what are the implications of these annexations for the war in ukraine? we'll definitely, we've been seeing the russians using this as a pretext for greater threats for escalating threat, saying that now this is all called russian territory. we will use nuclear weapons

to defend alco territory of to we don't know yet if that is bluff or not. so far, u. s. intelligence hasn't seen an indication that the russians are bringing out their nuclear weapons from storage and different the ukrainians are not taking this seriously for now. but there have been voices from western europe, particularly saying that it's important to take this seriously. and to act accordingly, and that has prompted phineas here in ukraine, that there will be pressure put on key, have to somehow come to some kind of deal that rushes escalation will be rewarded with pressure in ukraine to do more of what russia wants from it. now, as mentioned, russia is preparing to formerly annex up to 15 percent of ukrainian territory. it's the biggest illegal land grab europe has seen since the 2nd world war un secretary general says the move will have no legal standing and marks a dangerous escalation in the war. us present, joe biden has joined other world leaders in rejecting moscow's attempt to redraw international borders. the united states are want to be very clear about this.

united states will never, never, never recognize russia's claims on ukraine sovereign territory. the so called referenda was a sham, an absolute sham. the results were manufactured in moscow. the true will of the ukrainian people as ever every day as a sacrifice their lives to save their people, maintain the independence of their country. make these announced annexations expected today. aah! had drawn international condemnation, as we just saw, what does russia have to gain from them? why? i think this is definitely a sign of weakness assigned back learning of who to need something to show for 7 months award to his own domestic audience in russia. if you think back to the beginning of the war, there was all this talk of d notifying whatever that means and demilitarize in ukraine of taking care of in space of 3 days. none of that has proved possible. indeed,

with the exception of had a soul, marable, russia hasn't taken any big ukrainian cities. and now this is the need to justify the huge losses that russia has faced in terms of soldiers lives, loss, but also diplomatic isolation, economic impact. and that by bringing these taxis in to the fold of russia, they can only say that, you know, russia is growing. russia is pushing its borders forward and keeping as they would see it. nato, further away from, from, from rush school territory in from russ capital melonick. the war in ukraine does re, john, what's the latest from the battlefield? well, that is the story thing as land putin is set to have this big event in moscow signing these treaties that would bring these regions under russian control. and we are expecting a big speech for him from him later on. on the same day, we're getting increasing reports of what looks to be a very significant russian to fit in the offing. the, the city of lemon that is in the north western part of dumbass,

not far from sever done it. the city that russia took at huge cost to lives and military equipment in the summer, and the sense that ukraine's really on a role and is using that momentum that it has had since taking lots of the hot give region the last few weeks to push russia back, russian not able to bring in those newly mobilized people at the speed and the scale needed, and a sense that now you claims basically given up on any kind of negotiated settlement after this plan for this illegal annexation was discussed in is now trying to basically create facts on the ground with military force. nick, thank you very much. as always, our corresponded nick connelly. they're in t. russia's war on ukraine has contributed to soaring gas prices in europe and handed energy companies record profits. today, european union energy ministers of agreed to introduce new windfall taxes on those earnings. in a meeting in a brussels, each member states agree to impose extra levies on power producers. european

companies will have to have to return a share of their excess profits. skyrocketing energy costs have contributed to inflation, which has reached a record high of 10 percent across the euro's on and we got some more breaking news coming in. doraville has learned that a coup attempt is underway in burkina faso. a blast and gunfire were reported near the presidential palace stay. tv went off air briefly following the reported blasts, roads in the capital walk to go or being controlled by troops. this comes after the military seas power in a qu last january d, w. a gallon fuller is, is symbol airport. she was on route to the burkina faso capital. wanted to go when news of the developments there broke and she joined just deland. what are your sources and bertina presto telling you?

able to terrorist and he said he was and then on the ground he was in the north, the problems i've been on from the did, it was coming from molly and the whole north red zone and very me, but she was over by then, but there was really fall back and the number off a text has prime. and now the last, let's say the last book who was calling this was to say 2 or 3 days ago, who attacked on a lou terry conway. and then had this 11 soldiers tonight, but they were also they never have a number. and then, and then i'm right. and that also fighting in the military. so wanting to know if in the prison and he is. and then the biggest problem is that there's no confidence between the police and the villagers because it's soon as i have my

vehicles and, and rolling around in the capital, they don't care for them. and so there's also another problem because of all of these terrorism attacks and the not we have to main ibp and tony people and they're not very welcomed by the pool population. and so they also very easy for the service to get in roles. so it's a really difficult situation. got and thank you very much for bringing this up to date. that was d w gallon former there. in istanbul, of course i will be bring you further details on that. what appears to be on qu, attempt under way in canada as they become available now to have dentist on where authorities say at least 19 people have died in a suicide bombing at an education center in cobble police say the attack in the west of the afghan capital came as students were preparing for an exam. dozens of people have been injured. there's been no claim of responsibility. the blast

basically being attacked. and this has been sort of the predominant characteristic of these attacks in this neighborhood when west is that it always target more civilian areas. we're talking, you know, these kinds of education sectors, breslin gems, things like that. right? any idea about the motive who might have been behind this bombing? i mean, generally when even bombings take place specifically in the neighborhood of about g . they are almost always been the so called a salami state. what happened is recently they've been the kind of attack that they're the traditional hallmarks of the 1st so called days should talk with no one has responsibility for them. but obviously, because they have been so often choosing the area of the target,

the presumption and go to them. but as of now, there is no visual claim. okay. the telephone has been back in power for over a year. now they're in afghanistan. are they losing their grip on the, on the security situation? i don't think we ever had it. if you think about it, you know, shortly after they came to power within about 10 days after they came to power, this whole thing was already, you know, restarting the caps in the country. you know, one of the biggest attacks that they've ever conducted was at the airport at the home, the airport at a time when people were lining up on site that are trying to vacuuming out of the country in the final course is the true. ok ali. thank you so much journalist ali la teepee there in the afghan capital cobble and you are watching d. w. news from berlin up next. we got business for you. chris cobar will be here with all the latest. also looking at what germany is doing to shield families and
