4:02 pm
announcement in a televised statement to members of his security council. the decree, hands more, passed to the local officials in the occupied regions. rush installed officials in song one of the 4 occupied regions called for mass civilian evacuations in the face of advance in ukrainian forces. now let's hear some more of what mister putin had to say. but this is in the fullness. let me remind you that martial law was in effect in the donuts people's republic de lu, hans people's republic in the hair, san ins, operations regions you ever since their entry into the territory of russia is you just them yet. and now it is therefore necessary to apply this law within the russian legal framework. therefore, the more i have signed a decree on the introduction of martial law in these 4 regions of the russian federation. now, officials installed by the kremlin in the past on region have announced a large scale evacuations of civilians. they expect
4:03 pm
a ukrainian offensive. russian forces are struggling to maintain the hold on several strategic positions in regions that they, they were annexed in the east and south. the commander of russian troops in ukraine has been forced to acknowledge difficulties. a fierce battle for control over her san looms again of her social. it was one of the 1st ukrainian cities to fall to russian forces at the start of the war. now russia says ukraine is preparing to take it back. images posted on social media by a russian installed official claim to show fortifications outside the city. a pro kremlin regional leaders are urging civilians to leave in order to avoid casualties and to give the russian army room to maneuver with our. so what i ask you to interpret my word seriously as a cold to evacuate quickly. we won't abandon the city, will stand until the end. i got back on thought. since issuing the evacuation order,
4:04 pm
the russian appointed administration said it had decided to move across the nepa river. but vowed that moscow's forces would fight to the death. keeping harrison will be the 1st big test for general sergey sir of egon in his new role as commander of russia's forces in ukraine. the man known as general armageddon, admitted the battle for his son would not be easy, villiers another blow. now further actions and plans regarding the city of his own itself will depend on the military tactical situation at hand. i will say this again. it is already very difficult as of today this morning, but also as for the 10s of thousands of people, moscow says are fleeing the city. russia has promised them housing certificates if they wish to leave ukraine. but it's unclear how many are leading under their own free will. since the start of the invasion, keith has accused moscow of forcibly resettling thousands of ukrainians to
4:05 pm
territories inside russia. far from home. for more, let's a brilliant correspondent in a cave mathias bellinger mathias hootin has declared marshall owen, ukrainian territories that russia illegally annexed. what does that now mean? impractical times in practical terms, it's hard to say formally, these decrees give the military administration more powers and they give them additional powers to, for example, restrict movements of civilians but also to forcibly evacuate people from our areas. and the thing is that these churches have to be occupied and this was not a rule of law. so anyway, the administration's already exercised a lot of powers that they did not have because the no law was basically applicable to their administration. um, but it formalize the power of these military administrations in
4:06 pm
these areas. and of course, it's another, a gesture by the kremlin, trying to assert control and trying to search for more control over these territories after the annexations that have happened a few weeks ago. now and he has to have been reports of explosions in keith to during the past a couple of hours or to new. tell us the air defenses have shut down several missiles over the city. that's what we heard. there was another attack this afternoon with missiles and drones launched on ukrainian territory besides kia, also other places were attacked again, power stations in the central parts of the country. and there were also in the north east or from, from here in geneva. there were also attacks on infrastructure and
4:07 pm
a civilian infrastructure there. now pro, crop crandon authorities in house on our set to be evacuating ahead of unexpected ukrainian offensive. they're also called on residents to get out. what more can you tell us about these evacuations? we don't know many details, but what the authorities have said is that they expect attacks from the ukrainian side they expect or ukraine pushing into these regions. and the administration is, is said to have left the city of hassan. so they might expect either fights there, or there might even consider leaving these or retreating from these areas. and they have called on people to leave. they've also said they would evacuate people from there. and these decrees from today give them the form of
4:08 pm
power to also forcibly evacuate people from their there's of course, the fear that this means deputations may be into russia. forced reputations from occupied regions are considered war crimes and international did on his marty as billing of their reporting from keith. thank you. mathias and we can now speak to a she's a news editor and present of tv rain. that's one of the last independent news networks in russia that was shut down. she's now working from a broad, katrina, president putin imposing martial law than the annex territories. we've just heard about it. what's your take on this? well, this is something that brings us very close to the moment when the president of russian federation and, and he's employees including the representatives. the freshman government would be forced to name this situation a war because so far they were insisting on the special military operation. so
4:09 pm
called special needs ration, not acknowledging, not telling russians that this is actually a war going on, not only in ukraine, but also on the parts of the russian federation on the border. there are right now, right now, serious situation in bill. good old square region, for example, we can see that the shelling miss styles are on the ground right now these days and during, during the month of the last month. so people are scared to death in russia after the so called partial muslim is ation. that wouldn't, has declared after this martial law that he has adopted a couple of hours ago. it's becoming closer and closer to russians. and, you know, we are so used to this narrative that russians do not care about what's going on in
4:10 pm
the ukraine about the death of civilians about atrocities. so right now, even though who really did not care, i'm insisting that they're not majority, but of course, there were people who did not care about what's going on because they were comfortable in their own lives. so even this people now are acknowledging their understanding that this war is coming to their homes. and this is a very important moment. right now. even the russian command of the new russian commodity and ukraine has said that things are difficult in the occupied region. does this admission come as a surprise to you? of course, because before sewer begins, the representatives of the minister of defense of russia there were repeating on and on this war it's about about the victory about the plan which is being completed about everything is all right and so on and so forth.
4:11 pm
right now is sort of the can, is presented by letting me repeat it by kremlin, as the person who comes within you approach. and i was astonished. yes. today i can honestly say when i, when i was reading the telegram channels, the russian for done to face says, saying the same thing about sort of weekend that this is the guy who is opened with us, who is fair and honest with us. this isn't you approach of minister of defense and she is becoming a hero, a symbol of new stage of the so called special new to reparation. and they really hope that, you know, meeting the problems will bring, eventually rushed to the big victory and ukraine. an occupation, not only of this and next territory, but also on key f and, and wolf and other parts of ukraine. so this is something,
4:12 pm
and he is someone who they think can bring maybe even hope for those russians. horse cared, as i said. and those russians who don't want to be part of the war who are running away from the country from this model is ation that they, they think that may be sort of weekend would be the guy who would let the, the people who are running away people are scared in russia, so how damaging have these recent setbacks been for putting society? i am pretty sure, honestly saying that this whole war was a great mistake of flood mer prudent. and every new step that he takes makes the situation worse. this mobilization, this martial law, all the problems that russian regions, russian regions are going to right now. you know, it all bring,
4:13 pm
slide me very tough choice that he will need to make. i mean, he's not going to the render. obviously he's not going to say, all right guys, it was my mistake. i'm going from ukraine. i'm leaving ukraine. i don't want this anymore. it's impossible to imagine that every single step that he will take after that would be even worse and worse. i'm really scared of using a technical nuclear weapon which is kind of 11 of the, one of the plans that they are considering in kremlin. so this is the, this is the beginning of the end for let me put in the only one question is, what you will be able to accomplish and how many people will die before before the end. because i've actually got a new set at present, the independent russian tv station rain. thank you very much for joining i. c d. w . news. my pleasure. now ross as

4:24 pm
correspondent alex, i'm a phenomena filed on that report and she now joins us from us. 2 years in brussels, i sandra, we saw some of the pictures and some of the stories. there were what struck with you in particular when you were there? while i had to say that i was shocked when i arrived at the riverside there and to see one can new after the other coming in this massive amount of people so many children among them. i am a mom, so i spoke with some moms there and they told me that they would. they would never have decided to undertake this journey if they knew how dangerous it was. and there was also one thing that surprised me. i expected to see many people from, for instance, the men as weighed up from cuba from haiti. but we also met people from somalia, from afghanistan. and that's what makes you realize how were intertwined. the migration routes must be and how desperate the people are to take the next train,
4:25 pm
next plane, next ship to get out of their country. now, tens of thousands of migrants were already making this dangerous trip before the war ukraine started. but how is this current crisis in latin america tied to a conflict more than 10000 kilometers away in europe? while some people are there in columbia, or panama told me that, you know, they don't care about the war in europe. it's so far away. they have their own problems, but of course we know that russia's war on ukraine is having a massive impact on the global economy. it has caused disruptions and global supply change. it has led to soaring energy and food prices and thought wouldn't just imagine how difficult the situation is. it some countries in latin america, when you look at the poverty rates, for instance, in haiti, we're more than 40 percent of the population live on less than $3.00 per day in columbia. it's 12 percent. so you just understand that the rise in food prices is
4:26 pm
exhilarating poverty and hunger. they're so brief. if you can, why is the e you getting involved in a crisis so far away? while they are saying they are committed to upholding and to promoting fundamental you are a half and a mental human rights access to education and that people have food and protection . but of course they're also interested in having stable neighborhood politically stable neighborhoods or no conflicts there. because of course that means that less people would then try to flee to europe. are brussels bureau chief osama phenomena reporting? thank you very much. allison now you watching d. w news coming up next in d. w, a news asia. what taiwanese force is stand a charles against china, very invasion. some citizens result of private civil defense course. and kind of new 80 year old lead up reversed the fortunes of india as
