ah ah ah ah, this is dw news alive from birth, then it crowns. president says russia faces heavy losses on the eastern front lines . the one year anniversary of the war approaches an intense fight. brian's on a control of territory around the town of buckman. and new supplies of military,

i can't come soon enough to ukrainian troops trying to hold back. the russians felt like coming up top us diplomat, anthony blinking says china, my student provide russia with lead thought military. but his counterpart tells the munich security conference, the china has a plan in ukraine also coming up for us and take over 3 decry and southern neighbor, braces the alarm of what it calls a brush and plot to overthrow which pro western government german and he bore a pick triumphs at the back to awards in london. oh, quite on the west. confront with 7 categories, including best director and the best picture. and in sport. dockman blow the title, rice, a wide open after smothering, had to do, and now live at one point with legal aid is fine, munich, and on your bill. ah,

ah, i'm anthony, how walk into the program? the fighting grinds on on the ukraine's easton front, nearly a year after russia launched its invasion. president salenti says russian losses are significant near the contested town of buck mode. but there has been little change along the vast front line in recent months. stepped up, rushing assaults are expected this week with the anniversary of russia's invasion. ukraine has been calling on the west to deliver more weapons and ammunition, which are fast running out. these ukrainian troops near the town are severe. ask you said time away from the fighting to hone their shooting skills, they will soon put them to use the trenches. after months on the back foot, russian forces have gone on the offensive, talking at several points along a vast frontline, stretching from the black sea to but a ruse. they have made little progress, but their firepower is

a problem for ukrainian defenders. political pullin rico and artillery that from all our fight and the russians can do it 5 times more. so it's very difficult for the guys who are standing as special ed, the 1st line. they feel it too much. russian artillery is targeting civilians to in the town of wallader. this elderly woman recalls the moment a show it her apartment block them like no. i don't got the shower entered here, receipt not. and i was standing in the corner post you spoke of the fridge fell unto me, probably one. and that was dragged out from beneath it. when you were not irina, the daughter of the neighbor got me out of the fridge somehow copied me. not wanting a little civilians living in areas under russian attack. not only fear the shelling in the harsh winter cold. they also lack heating and food.

residents in the city of coupons, rely on food parcels brought in by volunteers, which we want to russia to leave us. why are they told, mentoring us for what? why are they torturing us? after almost a year of war, residents of bracing for further hardships in the embattled towns of eastern ukraine. early i spoke to special correspondent, i abraham in key for the latest on the attacks in the east of the country. well, any details about what exactly is going on in the eastern front end, particularly with going around the embattled tunnel buttonwood are very rare from both sides. but the town and the battle for it has become of huge symbolic importance for both sides, both russian and ukrainian sites over the past weeks with reports of both sides sustaining massive casualties. but we heard just yesterday from president zalinski,

a statement that might hint that ukrainian forces might retreat. he said that they will defend baltimore, but not at every cost, perhaps signaling at the huge human cost that the battle for this particular town has cause. i mean, pre war buttonwood had a population about 70000. we know that that has been reduced to about 5000. and so there are now signs that we might have more definitive news about that particular battle. i have this week marks a year since russia invited to ukraine, a people afraid of a major broadened russian offensive. yes, indeed. and i mean, it's just important to remember that at least here in the capital and virtually everywhere else in the country of russian attacks or, and the threat of russian attack is a part of daily life on an almost daily basis. you have the air raid sirens,

signaling that the city has come under attack. and my sense is, is that people, perhaps, are expecting something to happen. but at the same time, there's a sense of defiance and a sense that they want to carry on with their lives. despite that threat, and so there is a fear, there is an expectation that something might happen, but also at least here in the capital agreed sense of solidarity and soberness around this anniversary. the w. special correspondent, i baron, in keith, thanks so much. now as you friend, looks to ward off a new russian offensive to munich, security conference has wrapped up with a call for the european union to speed up military supplies to ukraine and u. s. top diplomat, anthony, blinking came away from the conference warning that china may soon provide weapons to russia. his chinese counterpart wang g, insisted that by jing will present a pace plan to win the war. but many in the west are skeptical. navigating

a new reality, the central theme of this years and munich security conference. nearly a year after russia invaded its neighbour, ukrainian president valard, amir zalinski remains resolute. there is no alternative to ukrainian victory. there is no alternative to ukraine. and in the e u, there is no alternative to grain in nato. as russia ramped up it's offensive in ukraine's east. european leaders made it clear that peace will have to come on keeps terms. so typically, i think very important is nothing about ukraine without ukraine. it's ukraine fighting for its independence and serenity that has to decide at what time they want to sit down at the negotiation table with the aggressor. but as the war drags on with no end in sight, attention also turned to the wider global implications of the conflict western

nations and may have united behind ukraine. but the wider world remains divided secretary generals nato has warned that a victory for russia would impact policy and china move, but beijing announced it would forward a piece proposal for a political solution to the conflict. but many in europe remained skeptical. china has taken side very clearly signed the unlimited friendship agreement with russia. so it has taken a specific position. we should keep that in mind. china is not neutral towards the whole process as we are not neutral, we are backing. of course, you claim us secretary of state antony, blinking and echoed the sentiment and accused beijing of planning to support hooton's war. we have information that gives us concerned that they are considering providing legal support to russia and in the war against ukraine. and it was

important for me to share very clearly with, with lonnie that this would be a serious problem. china maintains it is pushing for peace and dialogue as the war approaches. it's 2nd year or join him. if more is the w political correspondent, matthew more. matthew could assume we just heard you are secretary of state anthony, blinking in the report that how do we interpret what he had to say had that meeting go? well, i mean, this was a meeting happened on the sidelines of immune security conference and it's the 1st time that they've had a chance to talk since this bible in saga in recent weeks. and it's fair to say it was a fraud encounter. and i don't think they found much common ground, anthony, they had a chance to really address some of the various tensions that go up in recent weeks, months. and the usaid reported that blinking told when the, the top diploma of the chinese site that there will be serious consequences for the

us. china relationship if as u. s. u. s fears that china sens, lethal weapons to russia to use in its war against ukraine. now, china is foreign ministry afterwards said it would under no circumstances tolerate an attempt by the u. s. to dictate its relationship with moscow. and i think it's kind of interesting that, that comes just as while he is on, is in moscow today to discuss potential piece plan as we had in the report. and also this, there's this fear that, that china is really trying to kind of and checked itself into the war a little more steadily. right? so many talks, one of many points of fascination that relationship. so many talks they're held across 3 days. so many world leaders, broadly speaking and in reference to ukraine, again, do we feel what the conclusion of the mean, meaning security conference, western support for ukraine had weakened, had it been maintained or had it strengthened? i think it's fair to say that after the 3 days of political speeches and meetings

between leaders and tell as an official to military leaders to the western ally alliance, just release kind of resolve that strength. and no, no doubt about that. i think so landscape all flooded me to landscape. you training president, set the tone on friday when he kind of stressed the need for speed and, and, and then we saw a chorus of support since since that speech we saw leader of the leader trying to outdo each other in terms of that what they were willing to send what they had sent already. and just yesterday we had the european union discuss the potential for a kind of e u y joint purchasing agreement to to supply and ramp up the supply of, of ammunition to ukraine when desperately needs as this offensive to is underway in the east. one moment that really stood out, there was a fletcher of discontent. it was one moment it stood out for me on friday was when all our shots, the german chancellor and germany let's remember, has sent a lot of support to claim as come under criticism for be sure to do so. he was asked why germany, why he, in particular,

was having to persuade allies to send battle. thanks. we can take lesson. there is a question i have to to us to others. especially those who were so much urging me to act in a special way. and i will just repeat the only strategy for being united is never doing something just for your own and to discuss with your friends and partners. and this is what we did. german chancellor ala schultz, matthew schotts getting it in. so in january he spent much of january the defend has his government for not being fast enough to alone, lepper to battle tanks to be sent. ukraine then announced that the would germany would lead a consortium to put together a battalion of $31.00 tanks. germany would play 14 and the others would come from other european countries. he's really struggled, after all the criticism he came under, he's really struggled to get the other countries to actually provide tanks of their own. and so it was a rare glimpse in a rear and site into the frustration of the german government. and it's a movement like that which makes you cry the munich security conference,

so fascinating to journalists and politicians around the world. because you get that lim, center to the re our politics and also these off the cuff remarks. and again, as we saw a fair antony blinkin and wine ye, these chance encounters on the sidelines saw no incredible 3 days. they w matthew mo, thanks so much. all right, let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. this are brazilian or 30 say at least 36 people have been killed in heavy flooding and landslides in the state of south palo torrential, rain hit on carnival weekend. whole neighborhoods on the water and rescue teams are struggling to find survivors. u. s. secretary of state antony blinking has announced a further $100000000.00 in aid after the devastating earthquake in turkey and syria . after 2 talks with his turkish counterpart, lincoln is expected to make president richard type one in the capital ankara. on

monday. north korea has testified, 2 more ballistic missiles shortly after the us, japan and south korea held joint if forced rules. the rules themselves came after an earlier north korean missile test pyongyang says us conduct would determine if the pacific is turned into a firing. mold others pro western president has outlined what she described as a plot by moscow to take over the country. although as foreign minister is expected in brussels today for urgent consultations with the european union, russia has denied the claims a tiny eastern european country. she has a long border with ukraine and has a break away region trans, mr. that is controlled by russian back separatists. on sunday, thousands of anti government demonstrators took to the streets of the capital, kitchena mold of his government said the protests were orchestrated by pro russian forces to join the live now by day doubly correspondent rosie butchered in

brussels, where the moldova foreign minister will be attending a summit of his e. you counterparts, rosie, why is moldova so important for the you in this context? well, it's all about moldova geography. it's history and it's politics geographically. this is the country which shares a border with ukraine and not means it is received a lot of ukrainian refugees, principally last year when we saw so many fleeing full scale russian invasion. but more than that, moldova is one of the poorest countries in europe. and of course, with this cost of living crisis, it's being experienced in so many parts of the world. there's been palate, plenty of political instability domestically within moldova. but moldova, beyond that kind of a political instability domestically also has another key domestic issue. and that is that within its internationally recognized territory, there is a separatist breakaway region where there is

a russian military present store that is not something new. but given that added to that equation is the fact that moldova is constitutionally neutral, that means it ace not, and cannot be a member of a western military alliance, like nato will. all of those things converge to make for the fact the european union sees moldova somewhere, which could be very vulnerable. if russia were to set it sites beyond ukraine. so will can be done. what can you countries do to help stabilize the situation in the country? well, moldova foreign minister will come here essentially with a wishlist. and so far the european union has been providing what's called macro financial assistance to mold over. that's essentially loans and grants to help with urgent liquidity needs to eat. you has be supporting moldova, through humanitarian programs. to try and help with those refugee reception efforts . now i just spoke to estonia, foreign minister, he told me he would like to see more support to moldova. still, but particularly listening to what moldova foreign minister will come here and have

to say. but there is one item on moldova wishlist which is not likely to be granted to day as that is that, moldova, like ukraine has set 8 sites are becoming part of this european union. not just being a guest at a meeting like this one but being having a permanent seat at the table. and well, moldova is officially a candidate country joining the you can take years and sometimes even a past a decade requires a lot of hefty reforms. so that is something we're not likely to get any big kind of movement on to day. despite mult overs wishes that the country has made very clear, i was definitely correspondent, reggie burchett and brussels. thanks so much. ah sport. down in buddhist lake of football, dorman kept their title ambitions alive for the hon when of a hat, a bell in dolton and method. 2 goals before half time on their way to an impressive for one victory. awe dought, men haven't lost
