how do you read things for your literacy by owners. i store them on for all, for all. well, as the you, as president visited, key of an air raid alert was activated across all of ukraine. officials there have war that stamped up russian attacks are expected this week to coincide with the anniversary of russia's invasion in ukraine's east. the fighting grinds on bonds. there has been little change along the vast front line in recent months. ukraine has been calling on the west to deliver more weapons and ammunition, which are running out fast. these ukranian 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, for example, for them. but we are one artillery other from all our fire and the russians can do it 5 times more. so it's very difficult for the guys who are standing, especially the 1st light. they feel it too much rational tillery is targeting civilians to what? in the town of wallader, this elderly woman recalls the moment a shell hit her apartment block. double up. 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 irina, the daughter of the neighbor got me out of the fridge somehow covered me not

wanting a local civilians living in areas under russian attack. no 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. horsham, if we want to russia to leave us, why are they to mentoring us for what? why are they torturing us? after almost a year of war, residence of bracing for further hardships in the embattled towns of eastern ukraine. earlier i spoke to our special correspondent abraham and keith, and i asked her, want you as president joe biden surprised visit, meant to the people in ukraine. oh marianna, we have to remember the timing. we're now just a few days before the anniversary of the war tutor is

scheduled to give a speech of on tuesday when he gave that speech last year. a couple of days later this country was attacked. and so there was a lot of a sort of fear and anticipation among the people here in ukraine about what is going to happen now a year on with, you know, turn to what putting believed at the truth. still very much standing there. there are no russian troops walking the streets of keel. so there was a, an expectation that something would be coming from russia. and so just a few days before that to have the president of the united states come and visit in the flesh the capital to reaffirm the american support for ukraine to say that they're in it for the long haul. to say that that for the united states will support you. quinn for as long as it takes is a huge boost of morale, and is somewhat reassuring to the people here. and here we've been hearing that biden's visit came as there were air raid sirens in

t is. what more can you tell us about the circumstances of this unannounced visit by the u. s. pro the president such a high profile gas bill. it was just a very effective image of when we saw president biden sort of walking through the streets of key of going to pay his respects better memorial for fallen soldiers since 2014 and with air reads blaring in the background is just a very, very powerful message of, of, of defiance. we don't really have that many details about the security that goes into, you know, planning a trip of the sort because of security reasons. but we do know that you know, the worst streets here in the city that we're even blocked for pedestrians. if had some connectivity issues and so on. but officials tend to stay very tight lips when it comes to details of a such a visit. and stand by for just a moment,

because we'd like to take a listen to some of the remarks by joe biden, during that joint press conference that he held with le mars landscape just a short time ago. and we'll continue our conversation after i know it was who was one year ago this week and we spoke on the telephone, went to prison. it was very late and night and wash in and early in the morning here in key russian plains around the air and tanks rolling across your border. you told me that you could hear explosions in the background on. i forget that and the world was about to change. i remembered vividly because i asked to, i asked to neg, i asked to, what is there, mr. president? what can i do for you? how can i be of help? and i know they remember what you said to me, what you said, and i quote,

gather the leaders of the world, asked them to support ukraine, gather the leaders of the world, and asked them to support ukraine. so and we just heard from you as president biden and talking about what zalinski had asked of him to gather more support for ukraine. has biden delivered, did he fulfill this promise? the united states has been the largest supporter of ukraine in this war, providing them with weapons and ammunition. and today, of course, you know, even more military aid was promised here in key of more high mars rocket systems, javelins and so on. so the united states, you know, they would, i would imagine you, it, us officials would say that they have done,

they've also been a real rallying force of europeans, encouraging them to take, you know, more responsibility for the security of the continent. but ukrainian officials will tell you that it's not enough to be, you know, they have tanks, they have all kinds of other weapons, but they are always looking for more support military support to defend the country, including fighter jets. and i think we, you know, until the end of this war, that demand will not go away. d, w, special correspondent, abraham in kia for as a thank you for your reporting. we appreciate it. well as turn t, washington d. c. next and speak to the w correspondence 7 simons. so 7, the timing of president biden's visit to kia is of course, very significant. can you talk to us a bit more about that? well, this trip is high on symbolism. of course, an important for the us government for president biden to show the world that

america is still behind and in full support of ukraine. and this is why is there a year in almost a year in off the attack, an invasion of russia by russia, of the ukraine. so that was important for, well, the world to see, at least that's the thinking of the biden administration. i'm remember the u. s. has proven it's as proven themselves as being really still a world leader when it comes to uniting europe behind the cost to help out ukraine to fight of the russians and the russian regime russian attack. so, so yeah, that was really important. but of course, this has also and is of importance. domestically means from politics. he, in the united states, no 7, we heard president biden in key, if pledging more military assistance for ukraine talking about the steadfast support. but is us support for ukraine still a steadfast, as biden says,

or do you see some signs that it's waning as this war drags on? i would say yes sir. it's still steadfast, as you say, i'm bod stace. all so signs of waning support in the public that war dregs. on the year a year ago, everybody was even the public opinion, their pulse, who support that, that support this notion of were gung ho about helping the ukraine. now a public is a little bit more reserved on this topic, and that means what it means, what some republican politicians were also want. they want more scrutiny. they want a softening of the financial support or at least have more control more say, why is that? because everybody knows that americans know and everybody else though the ukrainians have visited vocabulary since you knows have

a corruption problem. mr. soleski has just a fired a bunch of officials for that very reason. so a lot of republicans and a growing number of democrats even are saying, hey, we need to be more cautious. there are scrutinized what we give to the ukrainians in terms of money help aids. i'm a little bit more otherwise we can justify this, this amount of expense to the american taxpayer anymore. that was the w 7 simons reporting for us from washington. d. c. 7. thank you. will you a secretary of state antony blank? n is warning that china may soon provide russia with lethal assistance in the form of weapons and ammunition for its war in ukraine. for its part, beijing has lashed out of what it calls false claims by the u. s. lincoln's warning came after meeting with his chinese counterpart wang,

he at the munich security conference. and again, while on a visit to nita member turkey, we are concerned that china is considering us of supporting russia's war effort in ukraine with lethal assistance. something that we're watching a very, very close, as i also said, and as president biden said, going back many months when the aggression 1st took place. and he spoke to president a, she's in thing. and he told him at that point that um, there would be real consequences in our own relationship were china to provide legal assistance to russia in this aggression against ukraine or in a systematic way. 8 and the evasion of sanctions. i spoke a short time ago with z w, brussels correspondent, rosie beer chart, who is tracking a summit of e u foreign ministers. and i asked her about the likely reaction by the you should china supply russia with weapons?

well, it would be a red line in china relations that is, according to the european union's foreign affairs chief you're set barrel. who has been in this building speaking to press urging of course, encouraging china not to take this step. not he was quite clear. he said that this was not something he had anticipated from china. so far he had heard from his, from china's talk diplomat, one v, that china is not planning to send weapons to russia. but he made it clear that that would be a red line. i also spoke to estonia as foreign minister who said he was very concerned about such dimensionality of a supply of weapons from china to russia. and he said, china surely wouldn't want to have blood own eight's hands. no, when it comes to a reaction, what does that red line translate into? will that is where it gets tricky because we've seen how difficult it's been for the european union to pursue sanctions against russia due to those long built up dependencies. for example, when it comes to relying on russia in the past that you did for natural gas, you, china relations are so deep when it comes to trade. so many jobs in europe are

linked to trade with china. that this is something which many analysts say could be very difficult. we'll see how this plays out if this were to indeed occur. if china were to supply these weapons, which beijing says it has no plan to. of course it has pushed back on these clays, but certainly a very important to you political topic to keep watching one which will keep watching for you from here at this meeting of the you foreign ministers. and now china's tom diplomat wang, he has been meeting with multiple european officials over the last last couple of days. it's clear that improving relations with the e. u is very important to china, but is china a viable partner for the you? when it comes to helping end the war and ukraine? will china say 8 wants peace, but of course china and the european union have taken very different approaches. china has not sanctioned russia, it's not even giving any sort of outright condemnation of moscow over the invasion

of ukraine. but the fact is, it's of a scene is a very big important geopolitical actor. so the hoss to keep talking to china about this at least, thought the line from you officials and it has been brought up in several e, u, china meetings over the past year. but certainly european union looking on, i think, with a degree of concern the alarm when it comes to china's ties with russia and hide the those could emerge over the coming days. because as we heard from asia, as joe biden, reportedly touching, don't in key, if will one ye, china, it's taught diplomat, is reportedly expected in russia. and china says 8 is going to come up with its own piece proposals for peace in ukraine. i think we can expect those will be quite different from ukraine's ideas of how to achieve peace and potentially also the use ideas of how to achieve peace, which is essentially that ukraine must win, that ukraine should decide on its own terms how this war shoot. eventually end, and of course the war is driving on as we see on the growth still meant suffering

which continues know, almost one year on that was d. w 's, rosie beer time reporting for us from brussels. rosie, thank you so much. we appreciate it. all right, let's get a check now some of the other stories making headlines around the world. brazilian authorities say at least 36 people have been killed and heavy flooding and lance lives in the state of south polo. the torrential rain hit on carnival weekend. entire neighborhoods are under water and rescue. teams are struggling to find survivors. north korea has test fire to more ballistic missiles shortly after the u . s. japan and south korea held joint air force drills. those drills themselves came after an earlier north korean missile test. yung yang says us conduct would determine if the pacific is turned into a firing. all right, a change of pace. now in some news from the world of cinema,
