a delicate young people clearly have the solution. good future to the 77 percent. every weekend on d w ah ah, this is d w. news coming to you live from berlin. russia launch is overnight. attacks on the ukrainian city of cas, on the deadly barrage was the heaviest to date on the southern city that ukrainian forces liberated 2 weeks ago. also on the program christiano, rinaldo becomes the 1st man to score at 5 world cups as his portugal side. when

a printing match against gonna ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. at least 4 people have been killed an overnight missile attacks on the city of cas on in ukraine's south. these are the worst strikes the region has seen since it was retaken 2 weeks ago by ukrainian troops. the targets included homes and commercial buildings. ukrainian forces had warned of an escalation in house on as russian troops dragoon dugan. across the ne pro river dw correspond at nick connelly's in ukraine's capital. keep nick, tell us what you care about. these latest strikes on castle. i think

after the initial period of euphoria, he and ukraine about head on returning to ukraine control. many people have seen those images of people out with the ukranian flags on the streets, of course, on meeting the crane soldiers getting autographs, taking selfies. i think the route is now hitting home that the russians still are not very far away. they are across the other side of the perimeter, wide river, but still definitely within range of artillery fire. there is no way in fits on that is safe from those artillery pieces that are just a handful of commerce away when we were there just a few days ago we went to was the river to the bridge that the russians blew up when they left had san and within a few minutes, most arriving obviously they had seen us. there was some artillery far our direction may be just to warn us, but if there is no sense of safety, some kind of finality of his own getting back to normal life. the strange thing is that locals there for the most part, didn't seem phased by. they had been living with this for the last 89 months and such. you know, their boobs wasn't a sense. people going to take this chance to get out. now that the cities back in ukraine control,

it said you had people coming back to have san choosing to move closer to the russian fire. that may now change. but it definitely is a very dangerous place to live and people there are without power, without heat. and now with these constant artillery attacks with our tax, living in a very dangerous place. indeed, though, i understand that ukrainian troops are busy in the dull nest region trying to stop russian advances there. what do you know about that nic? well, that's been the new focus now in recent days of see russia has taken a lot of troops out of concerning the south of ukraine, left some alone in the periphery. but moved, as we have seen, from images from satellites come social media content, more in the way of tech and people to donate to the east. mr. buttonwood is where the kind of most intense fighting is now really awful. images on social media of phosphorus, bombs being used by the russians or the kind of dead weapons. it had not really yet deemed part of normal conventional warfare playing by the rules as it were. but the

thing is that, that is where fighting has been going on. since 2014, that was the dumbass conflict that happened here that was going on for 8 years before this phase, the will began in february. and as such, there are very good ukraine defense in that part of the country. there are trenches there a minefield. so the progress is very, very slow, and there's a feeling right now that russia desperately need some successes. after all these ukrainian pushed back all the defeats that they have incurred on the battlefield. and so they're throwing basic gun limited manpower and tech at the cranes in buffalo. f. a. now they're not really making much in the way of headway, but there is an a very intensely lot going on there and feeling hinky if it may be potentially, there might be some small incremental russian gains in next couple weeks given how much resource they're putting at it, nick, thank you so much, are correspond it. nick connelly in keith while these latest attacks come as ukraine struggles to restore power and water supplies that russia strike russian

strikes knocked out earlier this week. a satellite images released by nasa give some idea of the extent of the damage inflicted on ukrainian infrastructure. now this is a night time view of eastern europe in a, in early february, a few weeks before russia invaded. you can see the ukrainian capital key up there in the blue circle and the bright spot, just above that is moscow. now, compare this to another image taken yesterday the 24th of november. as you can see, nighttime, the nighttime key is now barely visible, and even though there are no borders on this image, you can still recognize ukraine's silhouette as the country's been plunged into darkness. here's more on how key of residents are dealing with a difficult situation. ukraine's energy grid is on the brink of collapse. the capital keith has gone duck authority, say only half the countries energy needs are being met off to the latest russian

strikes on ukraine's infrastructure life once as temperatures plummet, well below freezing authorities have set up thousands of so called invincibility centers. here people can get warm, charged their phones and find hot beverages. a little dublin in my system. it's the 2nd day without power and food. more than 60 children a waiting for food. and we can't prepare anything unless the pilot gets fixed. to be sure that they rushes campaign against ukraine's power grid is seen by many as retaliation for battlefield losses. moscow acknowledges attacking basic infrastructure, saying it's aim is to reduce ukraine's military capabilities and push it to negotiate. cave accuses russia of weapon ising winter and trying to freeze the country into submission. but rather than breaking ukraine spirit, these attacks of fueling resolve and anger across the country. chicago buddies

versus the way they fight and target civil infrastructure. it can cause nothing but fear of the social on the zillow usually hooted remotely. if they expect us to fall on our knees and crawl to them, it won't happen at the napa county let our windows go dark, but we will not be in russia. this hatred, as for generations to come earlier as the snow sets in ukraine, remains defiant, but for the millions now living without power and water, this is only the beginning of a long, dark winter. meanwhile, nato secretary general young adult beg, says the alliance is ramping up non lethal aid for ukraine. he told reporters in brussels that nato support for ukraine would continue. there will be no lasting peace if the grocer, vince, if oppression on the truck or say,

prevail or freedom and democracy most wars and with negotiations. but what happens at the negotiating table, the pencil, what happens on the buttons in therefore, the best way to increase the chances for a peaceful solution is to support ukraine. so natal woke, continued to start with ukraine, for as long as it takes we will not back down to w's. brussels bureau chief alexander for norman was at their press conference. alexandra nato says it is standing by ukraine. but what did stout mark say about how nato is supporting ukraine concretely? well, in his press conference against oldenburg spoke about the non lethal assistance that sir nato alliance is providing ukraine with. so we are talking here about

drone jammers, about medical equipment, about fuel. and of course, the long term goal here is to enable the ukrainian army to be successful with its transition from soviet made equipment to nato standards. but i think, and this is also going to be on the agenda of their foreign ministers who are going to meet in bucharest next week. the situation now is so really bad with regard to the destroyed energy infrastructure in the country, so they will, the foreign ministers will be talking about how to help ukraine, how to provide the ukranian population worth, her heating woods drinking water because i think that many allies are really concerned about the situation there right now. and of course, the other topic that it's going to be there on the agenda ability, terry a, how to provide more weapons systems to ukraine. so the military assistance,

and the question is whether it's possible to provide ukraine with more air defense systems, to intercept or russian rockets or right now they're able to intercept about up to 60 percent of them. but of course that's not enough. so the question is whether individual allies who are providing you crate with military assistance can do more germany, for instance, a has promised to deliver for iris t. air defense. one of them is already on the ground quite successful as we are hearing. but of course, satcher weaponry has to be manufactured 1st and on the other hand, as such weapons are also needed on the eastern flank of the alliance. alexander, thank you very much, shar corresponded alexander phenomena there in brussels, sketch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today.
