odessa, official said, russian air strikes, head of food warehouse firefighters battled through the night to contain the damage . by daybreak, ukraine had accused russia of breaking the terms of a green export deal. official said moscow was refusing to register vessels entering the black sea. effectively blocking ukraine from supplying grain to the world to dr. j. mcglenn is what the department of war studies at kings college in london. and i asked her whether this wave of russian strength against civilian targets is a distraction from the lack of meaningful progress before the may, 9th anniversary or russia are returning to its old tactics. due to this advice, and i think is also a response to a widely perceived law cri um within a russian to social media and online about the gaps between the rhetoric

from the states and the outcomes of the ministries and as a need to to sure, oh, no, we all serious about this. well, let's talk about the rhetoric because tomorrow marks victory day and russia the day the country celebrate the winning one. they called the green patriarch war and the kremlin in going to great lengths and has been for since this we're starting to, to draw parallels between world war 2. and it's so called special military operation. why is that? this is actually something this easiest is a sense 14 and which was when the evaluation, dignity, or you're in might hundreds has happened. preston indicated she was something to be of institutions favor david's previous capacity but and new came to power and ways to taste it as this is

a fascist to you by you creating a nazi's. and we all unexplained crimea in order to defend premiums from a sort of genocide and the time consuming. and don't last. and this is a point that the russian government, the she media presentation. so i'll reiterate if for a year. so it probably is should be a surprise, but it's, it's still there now and i asked if there is a reminder of the importance of updating this will that 2014, i would just add that as well. that in terms of why, that's what we need more domestic, the russian and the memory of the great visuals across town for the 1941 science and french, 5 safety or against nazi germany. as opposed to the broad will to, that is probably one of the was definitely the mistakes memory. and one of the most unifying elements of russian coach. i know if you please. it's one of the very few unifying elements. so to such an extent version per se, the items

t 3 found it around this price in the memory of baltimore to, well, the revisions for victory, but also in the need to defend that legacy which is against, i mean, state propaganda uses a lot. the idea that the west and ukraine trying to destroy the legacy of memory, of the great picture of the cool. but van over 3 may, 9th is very likely to come and go without the russian leadership having any significant progress to boast about in this war. so how are they planning on continuing to sell this ongoing grinding, costly, bloody war effort to russian society the, i'm not entirely sure that they completely need to set it. so in the sense that the russian society is, is quite pathetic and quite a glitch school and just tries to kind of it and all of which the able to do to some extent in the major european cities as the governor has been very careful not to sort of to target relations, although areas in the world and under pool um,

but in terms of how they justifying it, justifying it as yes, this, especially that your impression ukraine. but it's possible winder war against the west. and reflective of the fact that the russian government does not afford any agency premiums the entire, the entire, their entire war on, on ukraine is depicted as really just a war against the last ukraine is all seen as having a sort of a mind to do that. so our independence is just seen as being a possible state that we know nazis came to power and then they chose to align with the west. and now the west is funding the nazis in order to take the russian. that was che mcglenn from the department of war studies at kings college in london talking to me earlier. representatives of 2 dogs, rival factions are meeting for cease fire negotiations in the south. the city of jetta international mediators, are hoping to secure a lasting peace even as finding contain years in saddam's capital car to the

conflict between the sudanese army and the rival rapid support forces. her military is now entering its 4th week garrett, quartz as a research fellow for crisis prevention and diplomacy in africa. the german institute for international and security affairs. and i asked him whether the west did more harm or good and the lead up to the student needs conflict. yeah, good evening. i think that's too broad a brush to pains, the whole west in the whole conflict and, but certainly if we look at, for example, the united states leading up to the a breakdown of the conflicts a few weeks ago. and that was part of problematic role because the us put too much pressure on, on the policies, including the military, even though there was no agreed solution on this cruise to the topic of security

service. now the damage is done and the warrant zines have been in talk since saturday with no major and progress reported. although it is already some progress that they are actually sitting down and talking. is there a chance though, for diplomacy when the warning signs both believe they can win? well indeed, as long as they believe that either of them can win. i think it will be difficult. but i mean, there are also other possibilities for them to feel that they, they have to negotiate the space of small picture on the items, and they need the legitimacy from the department. and so act us, that's why they engage the in these tasks. so where does that pressure need to come from precisely then, as well from every one and that, you know, it has leverage. basically, in particular, we saw powers,

i mean the policies are meeting and the saudi arabia, that's one united arab emirates in the ages as thoughts concedes all have close ties to the respective parties and then also for the field. so from the united states, from the, you to look at the, you know, to look at financial constraints on these channels and then networks. mm hm. and let's look at the terms for negotiation. why does it seem to be so difficult for the opposing parties to find common ground? this is all about power, or is there more to it? well, i mean it's always difficult to have too many of the tall, right? so usually you only have one leader, especially in the north thought area in military government. and that's, that was the problem. and you know, just have to use, you know, will not work out for long. so, you know,

ultimately of course they will need to be one professional in which means the assets will need to be integrated. but the question is, you know, in which time frame and what happens in between. and this was exactly the questions that put the policies of pops in the 1st place, tennessee, stupid to them about me. and while they are a part civilians are dying, sweeping, suffering. what will the impact of a dragged out conversely, be for some don, but also for the entire region? yeah, i mean, it's absolutely devastating. of course. i mean, so, so far the fighting has mostly been being between this, the secuity actors and some of the allies and other security forces. but for example, in waste of floozies already seen. so the weakness in the office, particularly a local conflict attacks from, was assessed on

a non population them. and we may technologies so we could see miles that yeah, we'll have to leave it there unfortunately. and get quotes of the german associated for international and security of 1st. thank you so much. thank you. and you guys a look at some other stories making is around the world today. the woman who is a cues donald trump of raping her in the mid ninety's in court to hear the closing arguments. former magazine calling this evening, carol alleges the ex president assaulted her and the department store changing room . trump is not given evidence of a civil lawsuit, but continues to deny the charge of china has cancelled a visit by germany's finance minister across the at short notice. finding scheduling issues, members of letting us free democratic party, criticize the last minute cancellation, calling it an affront to their party and administer. it comes after a senior f t. p politician visits taiwan and march long distance. collaborations
