[000:00:00;00] the, this is dw news. why? but from berlin tonight, war crimes. and just as ukraine's president calls for world war 2 style tribe units . automated, zalinski says that watching president putin and others responsible for crimes in

ukraine must be held accountable. also coming up tonight, european union morning, russia not to use and alleged and drone attack on moscow as a pretext to escalate the war in ukraine. and growing fears of a wider humanitarian crisis as hundreds of thousands lead the fighting in sudan. tonight we'll hear from the united nations refugee agents. the fiber golf. it's good to have you with this is night. ukrainian, president bonum is zalinski, is calling for tribunals like those held after the 2nd world war to deal with alleged russian war crimes in ukraine. so lensky was speaking of the international criminal court in the hague. today, he accused russia of committing thousands of more crimes in his country and said the blood to me approaching and others responsible must be held accountable. a

symbolic visit to the international criminal court in the hague, ukrainian president followed him. your zalinski said he would much rather see another vladimir here, rushes president. putin, the one who desires to be sentenced for the scream and excellence rides. here in the capital of the international di, c. c, issued an arrest warrant for put in march for work crimes related to the abduction of ukrainian children. the kremlin continues to deny all accusations of war crimes, and the court's jurisdiction is limited to international criminal court. can't try russia's aggression as a whole for this. so lensky set a new tribunal, similar to the number of trials for nazi's, after the 2nd world war. should be set up on the russian try that we should not

look for excuses and should not refer to the shortcomings of the current international bought to make, make bold decisions that we, that will correct that source comments of those nor that unfortunately exist in international law while lensky dropped on the we will process, he's after world war 2 to whole prudent accountable. russia is preparing for its annual victory the parade to celebrate the soviet union's role in defeating nazi germany. this year, several russian regions have cancelled their per rates in mid years of ukrainian attached to this. that was really, russia has a choose both ukraine and the u. s. a being behind and the legit thrown attack on the kremlin, which it claims was an assassination attempt against putin. keys and washington

have denied their involvement. but that has not stopped moscow from intensifying its attacks on ukraine. well, i'm all of this male. i'm joined by our washington bureau chief in his pole and our correspondent jennifer pocket in re good w has been operating from riga ever since the russian authorities shut down our moscow office to both of you. welcome, jennifer. let me start with you must go 1st blamed you craned for this alleged attack a day later it says the united states masterminded the whole thing, hasn't offered any proof? well switching the blame from one side to the other in this case 1st from ukraine then to the us could actually indicate a rush that doesn't really know who's responsible for the legit attack and therefore didn't really provide any proof. of course, we have to consider that the russian investigative committee has no more information about the incident, but right out of it and then in comparison to right after it occurred. but the

criminal arguments don't sound very convincing. also blaming the us as an awesome played card, but russia. so it's not very surprising that it was played again under these circumstances. just for how it is being reported in russia as well. reporting on the electorate attack on the kremlin, then use anchors of russian state media. quote is a cremeans press where they use in great detail. in this statement, the prevalent accuse the key of receipt of a plan act of terrorism and an attempt on black in the approved his life. what is interesting though, is that the footage of the electric drone attack was not showing at all. instead of us, enjoy some panoramic footage of the kremlin, according to russia, turn terrorist activities and sabotaged by ukrainian armed forces have reached i'm present dented levels. so moscow is considering different methods of retaliation. criminal spokes person to meet people,

well actually stress then an official investigation is being conducted right now. but he didn't specify when results can be expected. and also because of stated that's such a big decisions like drawing a tax on other countries wouldn't be made in washington. and keith would only execute decisions. yeah, those are the big claims without any evidence. you just let me go to you, but what's being said there in washington? about these accusations? exactly right, brent? there are. uh, there's no proof for the accusations and this has dismissed these extra sessions right away. a 2 day whitehouse pokemon john kirby said that he kind of sure us that there was no involvement by the united states and whatever it was didn't it was saying that even if you green is involved, that the united states has nothing to do with it. that's exactly the same thing, was the secretary of state blinking said yesterday when he was interviewed by the

washington post. why, of the newest rogue, that this drone and exploded over the kremlin. so there's a crystal clear message here out of washington. we the us do not have anything to do with this or even stole in washington and jennifer parker in re good to both of you. thank you. well my next guest is already good for long cuz she is a defense expert at the european council on foreign relations. and she has researched extensively on the impact of drones and artificial intelligence in warfare. when it gets good to have you back on the program, the kremlin is now claiming that the attack was masterminded by the united states. the white house is rejected that right out saying it's a lie. do you see any credible evidence that this could have been planned in washington? that seems very patched in mind that i mean obviously of this when you have limited

information. we've seen these videos. there's only so much candidate use from it, but just specifically speaking, it seems absurd to believe that the us is trying to assassinate, letting me go, janet is doing so with your drugs that clearly didn't know where where any was. and i didn't either not fix those material to make it any damage should have the problem then, i mean, obviously you know, i can't do anything from, from wow, spending. but it doesn't seem particularly convincing as a theory. and so if it doesn't look like an attack or industry as a nation attempt, what does it look like? and we, what we are dealing with here is if we, if we believe anything that is coming out of the kremlin, is the fact that a drone was able to fly into mosse scale air space and was able to get right to a building in the middle of moscow, i mean, what does it tell us about most scales,

air defense systems? yeah, that's a and ask you the question. so it seems like morrison bought it the top not at all, which is the that wherever luminous attack didn't succeed and what we're actually trying to do with the possible. but just from what we know and we're letting people in, in send that in. and it didn't seem like it was really is serious destination. but you also devices with our that the fact that that road just like one to you know, the red square and the, there was a bit from then that's not as great look for russian here. it's not implausible, to be honest, because quite as simple as 1 may say you needed the texted you need to shoot it down is possible, but as best this is not, it's not a good book and just kind of the final note on there. so on the 9th of may, right, coming up, there's the de rashid victory rate on the red squared happening. and there is

actually a price out of that awesome union as us dollars for any ukrainian u. a b manufacturer who manages to fly a red square. so, so maybe this was the 1st test, i have no idea, but you can see that there is a lot of simple there. and either in this more we, we've seen ukraine accused of sinking a russian battleship. they've also been accused of attacking the only bridge that links ratio with crime media. and both of these cases, ukraine never admitted to doing it, but they also never denied it either. in this case, that with this alleged joint attack, chief has been adamant and vehement, and it's rejection of this accusation. what does that tell you? i mean, to be honest to me, it means that the most likely you know, that in order to strive and this wasn't based drive by, you know, a yeah, ukrainian voice, at least that's what seems more like you get out of it. i confirmed with the night

is but, but that seems more likely and indeed is also, although it is not in this type of attack is very different from other attacks on russian territory that indeed ukraine seems to have done nearly so far, all attacks on russian territory and have been very clearly and military installations rights were not in december, they were to a tax on prussian airfields buying drugs. and this was a military attack so far they've never attacked, you know, any political targets such as here. so it, to me, the denial seems quite credible. and what about their being any connection to what we, we've seen this week in moscow with the ukrainian military, launching it's counter offensive against russian forces in eastern ukraine. i mean, do you see any connection or, or are you expecting that counter offensive to start imminently? and yeah, everyone is waiting for the contract as of right, because we, we don't know when that's gonna happen where it's gonna happen,

how it's gonna look like when we know that it will happen. and that's basically the situation. yes, of course, this couldn't be part of this. it made me as a bonus, try to try to stabilize the protein or the russian population, the russian problem. then it's possible it could send the message up, you know, know where it said we can bridge moscow. i again, i, i don't think it's the most likely thing. it's not a military target. the front of the printing congress pass is going to be a military as a so i don't think it's name, but it might be in yes, your pencil is, is coming or so we believe. let me ask before we run out of the time or the possibility of, of what we saw over the kremlin on the tuesday night, wednesday morning. what about it? rogue russian forces being responsible for that? yes, of course. i mean it could be wrong. russian boys, it can be road crane invoices, so also kind of a sabotage by an individual that seems to use. i'd be more likely because the drug

didn't look particularly big. so it seems we're not going to be that a didn't smile away from your brain that was started somewhere more close by, which could be either by getting your brain for so. but honestly, we, we don't notice of the suspect nations, but it is a possibility as a possible multiply fresh. yeah. and lots of questions, lots of unanswered questions in this case, or be confronted with the european council on foreign relations. we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. as a police here in berlin are investigating how details of a possible visit by ukrainian president bonum is zalinski, ended up in a local newspaper for security reasons. information about that ukrainian leaders for and trips is normally kept secret until the very last minute. and usually, in this case, police confirmed the report that the ukranian president would visit the german

capital this month or more on this. now let's go to our political correspondent, thomas barrow. he's been following me this thomas, good to see you. how did this trip end up being so controversial and end up being in the newspaper while it ended up being so controversial brain? because it's difficult to really know exactly what berlin police may or may have not linked to the german press on that possible visit by mister savanski. there are different versions on what actually ended up in the, in the papers. berlin police today stressed in one of its statements that officially they did not provide any information that may have jeopardized a possible visit. however, several media outlets here in germany actually published many details on in fact, cited police spokesperson, in any case, something relevant about old base is that it's turning into a very big political discussion. and that's also why today,

but in police decided to announce this investigation. citing, and i think this is particularly relevant, suspected betrayal of secrets that gives you an idea of just how sensitive this issue has become. and it's unusual, isn't it? so it's absolutely unusual on various fronts. on the one hand, you mentioned it all ready. so lensky when he travels, does not announce the details with so much in advance. and in fact, most of his visits unannounced, those surprise visits. but also from the german perspective, we haven't had a confirmation from the german government about this trip happening or not happening. and in fact, the german government normally announces those kinds of visits on friday for the following week, unless obviously, if it's something on very short notice, so on many, many different fronts. this is highly unusual and that's why all of this is on the one hand. so probably might take, but on the other hand,

also extremely unusual and dramas. what about the presidential landscapes visit? has this incident jeopardize that we still don't even know if it's officially happening? because neither the ukrainian government nor the german government have confirmed or denied any any visits. but you can imagine that when these kinds of details are linked to the press and we're talking about many details about that possible visit that that can actually create serious challenges for the team. organizing the visit in both sites from the pregnant perspective. also from the government perspective, so if there is indeed a visit that's going to happen in the next few days, i can imagine behind the scenes or the different stakeholders. reorganizing some of the elements off to this particular league, the fact that there's an ongoing investigation on this for a possible betrayal of secrets gives you just an indication of how serious all this has been, particularly when we're talking about this very high level visit www. so miss bear with the least night here in berlin thomas, as always,

thank you. as jeremy's transfer a lot sold is backing the african union's bid to join the g 20 group of major economies. sholtes has begun a 3 day trip to east africa. the european capital addis of about, he wants to strengthen germany, influence in the region, but is visit is overshadowed by the conflict into dan. here at adi, some of the airport german chancellor oil schultz started his 2nd trip to africa since taking office. ethiopia is the 2nd most populous country in africa, but it faces many problems. the modern fist, not the chance. lucy's on his driving to the city center is deceptive. ethiopia has gone from being a role model to a struggling nation with many people barely making ends meet. inflation has sort to nearly 40 percent. of the survival is
