friends and family who fell to russian assault people, shared accounts of executions, rape, and torture. all of which moscow denies the town was under russian control for 5 weeks, and the occupying soldiers left behind a trail of destruction and evidence of possible war crimes. d. w correspondent, mac xander was in butch f, where the anniversary of the liberation he spoke with. olga was a ranko, a survivor of the russian occupation. you are here in good. sure. since the very beginning of the full scale invasion last year. um, could you explain to us little bit how you experience the 1st days of the occupation? yeah, the thrill i think i was at home when the war came. i was woken up by my mother. it was unexpected, but we started to gather things, mattresses and pillows, and got them down to the cellar. there was a feeling that something horrible would happen, and we had to hide the war for us at that time was like smoke from a gunshot,

terrible sounds and messages on social media. several of them. and on your way out, when you relieving, when you were leaving butcher, or you told me earlier, you also passed lead roskus treats from where we know that's the place were lots of bodies were found. was that the case when you went past there as well? my freshness in my moment of the worst moment was the 1st meeting with the russians, who were standing close to us. they talked to local residents who were alive at the time, and later we found out that the civilians had been killed. melissa, what's a whole passing the railway crossing we saw the 1st bodies and then more and more. so we'll say, well the say was jablonsky street, which was later named the road of death last year. there were so many bodies of civilians there. um, my husband said he saw sniper in one of the buildings that was a former private kindergarten. my children and i were walking with our eyes down. we looked down because it was scary to see so many bodies which had been lying

there for days in this last little. how do you explain the situation to your children? one day, they're growing up in a quiet, peaceful key of suburb, and the next day you're under occupation and you walk with them past bodies on the street. ah, the thought, yep. what shall i said? but when the full scale invasion started, my children didn't ask any questions. they intuitively understood what was going on . i think my parents explained it to them. we did not hide anything from the children. several, they were aware of all the information on social media. the worst thing was when we walked along jablonka, and one of the men who was taking care of things told us to look down. they sleep with a jablonsky on us, then of it, my children told me they looked up sometime within my son's daily list, but even not looking up that we could still see bodies shackle. they understood what was going on. they said that they saw that there were tank side and weapons.

they saw blood. my, we didn't talk about that to my show. it was novel about this it's, it's a lot. so the russians withdrew a year ago. and future is trying to get back to normal is rebuilding how's, how is the community doing? i was, i was at healing it, but of, of which is to provide an elastic massage. restoring. lucia is not only rebuilding houses affordable watches up, it's also the residence returning it, but i experienced all these terrible things either here. the said, during the occupation does nothing or who fled abroad as to what it's toward the locals coming back and we'll fill our city with their own spirit. what does that mean when she and them, for example, this square was created thanks to the people's belief though it says, but i'm on. but the idea we understand that there are rockets flying, die echo,

that there is danger around us clinical. and it should albertson, which is what we want to live, and we want to believe in our victory. that a step was it. and this belief gives us a feeling we have never felt much. we were positive and inspired hopefully. but now this positivity and inspiration helps us to live despite all of our troubles, is not on the family and put them all as hard to what to say should awesome again. but your resident ogo, los ranko, speaking to our max xander, a fresh wave of army conscription gets underway in russia to day after president vladimir putin signed a decree calling up a 147000 citizens for statutory military service. it comes after a $120000.00 people were recruited in november, the kremlin shares. this latest recruitment is routine and has nothing to do with russia's war in ukraine. in russia, it is mandatory from men age between 18 and 27. to carry out one year of military

service, t w's former moscow bureau chief. uri was chateau, joins us now for reger. as d. w is banned from reporting in russia. yuri, army, conscription starts today. where do we expect them to be deployed? will we see them in ukraine? well, according to the presidential decree up to 150000 people are planned to be called the up. or we don't know, michael, for certain whether young men will be sent to void against ukraine. the russian authorities vehemently deny this, however, the kremlin sat any conscript could sign a contract and go to the front and the national minister of defense proposes to allow conscripts to participate in so called peacekeeping missions. also the spring call can be at the same time as the new wave of mobilization, and many in russia are really afraid of it. the fact is that in mid march residents

of some russian region, russian regions begin to receive letters demanding to appear as the military office of the draft office. to clarify the data, it was said for many of this sounded as a preparation for a new mobilization. for the 1st time we understand russia is using electronic notifications for conscription into the army. why this innovation? well, in russia, a young man must go to the recruitment office only if he has personally received as a draft not is confirmed with his own signature. of course, this means that many simply leave their homes temporarily and are not accessible to the military. therefore, the authorities created the electronic method via gospel small give a state electronic registry that every adult russian has an account with. and when the such air modification via gossip slog is sent, you can no longer excuse yourself, and you must it be physically at the draft board. as

a result of ended in use of the electronic draft notices came yesterday, many deleted them. profiles on got us will get, but that can hardly help to avoid the draft. because the old method of personally handing over the draft notices to remains valid. in the long arm of the government . yesterday, president putin presented a new russian foreign doctrine. what new while are in the new foreign policy doctrine, russia sees of the west as an existent existential threat. and that's new compared to the old one from 2016 a russia foreign minister lover of. busy called in moscow, called it moscow's reaction to the existential security threats posed by the unfriendly state. so there are 20 so called unfriendly states listed in russia. among them are the use a and germany, and in the positive and opposite to them. china and india, for example, said to be russia strategic partners. as for the others,

it said that moscow would position itself towards other countries in the same way as they behave towards russia. russia's main goal is to make neighboring countries, meaning the ex soviet republics, as all of peace and neighborliness. that sounds as if moscow wanted to revive the collapse soviet union. you re re chateau in reger many, many thanks. as always. let's take a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world that this our tornadoes have hit. the us state of arkansas are causing widespread destruction. in the city of little walk, a twister destroyed buildings and overturned cars. dozens of people were injured. some critically, the devastation comes as a series of tornadoes sweep through the us, mid west, and south, controversial social media influence and retake and his brother, tristan, had been released from custody into house arrest. the brothers have been detained in romania since december on suspicion of sex. trafficking and re both deny wrong

doing tape is a self professed mishondra was who has built up a large online following form. a u. s. president donald trump will be formally arrested in a plan. surrender to authorities next tuesday in manhattan. there he'll be fingerprinted and have a mug shot taken. it follows his indictment over alleged payments of hush money to an adult film actress before the 2016 presidential election, which of course he won. the exact chargers against him aren't known yet. it's the 1st ever a criminal case against a former us president. trump's legal team says he's ready to fight all charges in a historic 1st, a former u. s. president is facing criminal charges. manhattan's grand jury hasn't died of donald trump. after prosecutors spent weeks investigating a payment from made during his 2016 campaign,

they allege trump paid adult movie actor stormy daniels, a $130000.00, to keep her quiet about past sexual encounter, and claimed it as a campaign expense. so for years, trumpeters, lawyers claim he is innocent and that the case is politically motivated. he has been obviously hearing the rumors as all of americans have that this which hot as he calls it would be coming to fruition. that is a very sad state of affairs and very politically motivated trumps, pending abreast, expected, on tuesday is bound to shake up the 2020 for presidential race where trump is once again running for office. but trump could also benefit from the sympathetic response of his supporters. actually, i think it's helping him. i think he's going to get more votes now because people maybe we'll wake up and, and from for him,

i hope the exact charges trump faces are still unclear. new york police have set up barricades around the court house, where trump is expected to appear on tuesday. when he's formally introduced into the criminal justice system, he's gets a chance to hear the formal charges against him at the arraignment, which is a hearing before a judge and it will be fingerprinted and photographed after. danielle will be said, the usual law process in trumps. lawyers said they had struck a deal with manhattan's district attorney not to have their client in handcuffs when he surrenders to face criminal charges. in new york, judge has authorized making the charges against from public. but when exactly that will happen, it's still unclear. early we spoke to catherine ross,

a professor of law at george washington university in washington. we asked her to give us perspective on the significance of trumps case in terms of democracy and the rule of law. this is a momentous time for us. the failure to indict with at least the evidence that we all know about outside the door, a room would have smacked of political considerations. and in the united states, the rule of law is our guide post. the founders who wrote our constitution were adamant that we are a government of laws and not of men, that we don't have our stock or see, or monarchs or privilege people. we are all citizens. and trump was indicted by a grand jury of his peers. that is other regular citizens,

and this is a very reassuring moment that our institutions are at least up to this point. this institution is functioning as it should do in the regular course of justice. and we will end it there. you're watching dw news from brielle. it stay tuned as our tech shows shifts looks at whether artificial intelligence can help detect the onset of baltimore. that's after a short break. michael of warnings been 45 minutes. ah, what secrets lie behind these walls discovered new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating world heritage sites d w world heritage.
