[000:00:00;00] news this is need of the news live from the lyn cube and use a nother nights of aerial assault, ukraine's ministry space. it's shut down more than 20 drawings over the city. one person has died in the off the map. it's the latest in a series of strikes against the ukrainian capital as russia wraps up it's offensive

. meanwhile, russia is accusing ukraine of carrying out a drone attack on most to avoid. he said several drugs were shot down to approaching the city while others struck buildings. ukraine denies any direct involvement. russia has waged as well on ukraine's, on the ground and online or defense. digital assaults has been a mass of scream of this information and propaganda. but to was this meant to be targeting at dozens had been injured and caches between ethnic serves and nato led peacekeeping forces in cost of, of the unrest plays, of, of the election, of new ethnic albanian may, is also and neighboring. so it'd be a tooth each other of smoking tensions,

the hello, i'm christine model. welcome to the program. you claim, you know, authorities say russia has carried out a, another way of, of drawing a tax on the capital. keep killing, at least one person, ukraine's defense full. so say $29.00 out of $31.00 is rainy in may. drones will shut down in the early hours of tuesday morning. kids has come under increasing pressure with 17 attacks in the past month. surveying the damage to the homes. this apartment block was one of the buildings hit in the latest attack on ukraine's capital. well, everyone here escaped some with injuries. at least one person was killed. as keith was targeted once more. when the drawer and it's flying, i feel fair. now everyone has survived so you feel happy that your life be think

about what will happen next. this is the 3rd russian attack on keep in 24 hours. ukraine's air force as it down to almost all of the attacking drones almost every day we see the attack from me so that i can make as a drugs or do you need your brain is out of the brand new. it's very, it's a well, yes, of course i worry about that and the russians want to bring depression of people instead of depression, people are angry. these keep residents have already lost so much, but they have to stay on the lot fairing. it's only a matter of time before the next strike comes earlier we talked about correspondent into mex, linda, we, austin, why these attacks on kids have intensified? i mean, hard to say why the russians are doing this. um,

could i have to do something with the anticipated ukrainian counter offensive that the everybody here we praying but also certainly and russia people are waiting for it to kick off on this. the russians say they, they are targeting military targets. we don't know what exactly they're targeting and what they exactly are heading on for security reasons. but this may will also have to do with testing the air defenses finding out where the ukrainians in the capital here in the power center have their, their patriot, the systems are other anti aircraft systems where they're deployed and how they are actually operating. also probably about exhausting the resources here and trying to find a potentially find a way of getting around them in the future. this is certainly not the priority, but this brought, this definitely also takes a toll on the population. so this may also have to do with breaking down the morale of the people here. after all we've heard, we've had 16 or even more attacks since the beginning of may alone. so, um,

you can imagine that this does something to people here living in the city mex center reporting from kids. they have. meanwhile, russia has accused ukraine of carrying out a drone attack on it's capital. moscow in which several buildings were damaged, rushes defense ministry said it shot down 5 unmanned aerial vehicles and diverse and 3 others, electronically. ukrainian spokesman said kid was pleased but denied direct relation to the drawing a tax. this footage posted on the russian telegram channel. mash claims to show a drug and attack on most go. the russian officials said the cities air defense system disabled most shut down all of the drones. but that's several buildings were damaged by folding debris in during some residents. building security team came to our apartments and ask us to go down stairs. that's about it

. we didn't hear any drones or explosions at 1st, even though it should we go down? oh no. rushes defense ministry has blamed you. crane is showing a statement saying the key regime launched a terrorist attack with unmanned aerial vehicles on objects in the city of moscow. h a cross type you avi's were involved in the attack. all enemy, drones were destroyed. an age to ukraine's president denied cave was directly involved, but he went on to say that he predict such attacks on most go will increase. earlier this month, the kremlin was here in a drone strike. us officials have since said it was likely orchestrated by ukraine's military oil pipelines and russian border regions have also been targeted . life in most car has remained relatively normal since the start of the war.

but this latest strike comes as rushes war, and ukraine increasingly creeps back across the border. and for more on this, we want to bring in marina near on. she's a senior fellow in both studies at kings college london. good to have you on the program mosque was blaming these attacks on ukraine. how likely do you think that it is ukraine that is behind the attacks a good evening? well, um the, if there is a likelihood that it could be ukraine. indeed, if we take into account that moscow has been striking ukrainian capital especially to your prior to the celebrations and key of this sunday. and the steve man spies the mirror of key of as well as the have of the print and military intelligence indicates that there will be a response from keith. and therefore,

that could potentially give key of a motive to exploit the gaps in the air defenses. in moscow, in order that the launch site attack, and as a version of this could be the f b. so the, the, the russian intelligence services could have stage the attack to give, put in a carte blanche to launch his attacks against the cranium capital. and also targets was in ukraine, so there is no clarity. is there a different versions? and these are probably the most prominent ones. however, you need court of the nation and the where the to launch drones for him, like we have seen today in moscow. therefore, it is to exclude that it is some sort of a single actor who is just to pull the receiver who might have been behind the attack marina, if the recent attacks on russian territory and we've got to include on the kremlin, we're in fact august race of bi ukraine, you talked about a con, launched

a full for the kremlin. how could we, how could we see russia step up? it's a tax on ukraine. it is. that's a very good question because we have heard a lot of nuclear ratford coming from russia and the russian military doctrine, specifically states with russia result is it reserves the right to use nuclear weapons, should it territorial integrity be on the strip? so i think that in rhetorical terms, so we'll be hearing more about the red lines and about the potential nuclear escalations. however, russia is not really interested. i think that at this stage we might be seeing increase the tax bowls, connecticut backs, and the tax and the information spectrum. ross's and reaching for nuclear west, ukraine's promised it's wasted allies not to attack russian to a treat with western weapons. so if these attacks were carried out by

ukraine, what does this tell us? it is that it makes it very complicated for you green. and i think that is why ukraine would want to deny any involvement in these attacks because we're talking now about the potential delivery of ac 16 fighter chats. and the fear has always been that you printing off forces without coordinating was or western counterparts, might be using west through an equipment to attack russia. and that is why you pray, never received stab attempts for, for their hymer systems long range missiles of 300 kilometer range, a storm shuttle missile schooler and provided by the u. k. also had this cabby upset that ukraine isn't allowed to use them and russian territory. so that's my hook. so the whole idea of delivering fighter just to ukraine on the strategy of western allies to use that ukraine cannot be trusted,

not to use those weapons in russia and potentially risk escalation. marina's standby. uh because i, i want us to take a closer look at, at the allegations, but the reason is to bring up a tax work, any fact a, any safety rather the sort of falls flag operations that is, that they were part of a bigger this information campaign carried out by the kremlin to justify its war on ukraine and drum up support for its middle tree campaign. and then i want to pick up the conversation off to this before a massive gathering earlier this year in moscow. cheering on this special military operation in ukraine. no surprise in a country with state media blasting out messages about brave russian soldiers and a legit ukrainian atrocities. 247. a classic example still being deployed today is the don best children. the story ukrainian fact checkers have just proven. in my website,

we have dozens of stories when russian propaganda try to persuade their own population, their 2 premium soldiers kill children before been because these children are russian speaking or something like that are in reality. and no children. uh no, no charlie, the child was not killed and child did not exist. the russian f s b security service. and that's allied volunteers also spread messages via trolls and bob's that a met ukrainians and it westerners, on the political extremes. we are no longer in a situation where was all simply faults between soldiers on the backs of fields through the arsenal of information wolfe or cyber attacks. and this information campaigns, wars are now also false in the digital via the russian war on ukraine is no

exception. to this and the son and just pose an existence, so threats to our democracies. they roach trust in institutions and in the media by interfering disrupting censoring or even monday, relating people's perceptions of the to germany is one prime target leaked documents from the kremlin show. russia determined to link up the german far left and far right. like the people with this protest in berlin, organized by a far left party, but heavily attended by far right elements as well. russian media strategist reported the lead device slogans, including nato makes life expensive. and ukraine once more, germany wants peace, that were also shared online. so it's either the more, you know, radical arrives or article of to our want, the more you will fall for it's let's, the logic here i think is that's if you're susceptible to these radical ideas,

it's more likely that you'll fall victim for this information. here's this goes for the us as well. far right. media personality tucker carlson, who was recently fired from his popular evening talk, show frequently spouts pro russian narratives and view points that in some cases originated in means or far right. republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green, who repeats kremlin talking points that in russia once peace, measuring the exact impact is impossible support for ukraine among republicans in congress has fallen. many of the party mirroring messaging coming at the russia party. well, over a year, into the so called special military operation, moscow's information warriors are still going strong loraina just picking up on the line in the report say that, but measuring the impacts of, of this information is, is a very difficult task. but just give us

a sense of how effective rushes this information campaign has been as well. i think it's one of the main. so it has been stress in russian military writings for almost a century now. and the russians understand the power of information and the power of being able to dominate the information's fear and general drama, for instance, stress that information is more powerful than kinetic means or can be more powerful than kinetic means, because the fact is much more nuanced. you can deploy it anywhere any time using the internet, but also using different from the organizations and so on. and so you are influencing popular perception of events. this is a long, long term effect. but essentially, when this works out, there is no way to fix it. it's not like a cyber attack where you can pack a release, a patch in or the to repair is

a system here we're talking about the influence upon popular consciousness and, and so this is a very dominance trend in russian military thinking. and given that there is a now the sides to the story, go tell us about what this information coming from ukraine looks like. who is a targeted at and, and how effective has it been as well. the ukranian side has been very effective from the beginning of the so called special military operation because of russians . they try to convince the western audiences of the righteousness of its goal. and then they quickly switched to the far east to the south east asia to, to, to that realm because they saw it's not a fact of and they are trying to protect their own population from ukrainian and this information. and from the ukrainian perspective. again,

it is important to infer as of the population that's behind the government, that them or all of the, um, forces as high. and so what we have seen from the ukrainian side, the best example is a goals of key of this kind of, you know, that is the story is not true, but it has received a lot of attention and the ukranian. this information is aimed to do 9, so ukrainians by creating those most logical stories. and so it has been very effective in was standing, the, the brushing the pounds to penetrate to crane with their information. so russia has now adopted the more a defensive strategy, trying to protect its own population and block different ukrainian and western outlets. and in order to to isolate their information spectrum, marina mirror on, as always,

we appreciate your time here on dw news. thank you. thank you. very much i let's have a look now at some of the stories that we're following for you today. it says, let's see. oh, eli mass has arrived in beijing for adults with senior chinese officials. the opinion image chinese form is that change young, and is later than expected to visit the electrical and make his factory in shanghai . china is the goals, the biggest call markets with one and for cause sold last year. the electric and china has sent 3 extra notes to it's 10 john space station. they were launched into all of it from a space center in the northwest. the crew includes the countries for civilian to be put into all the by the ministry run program. being able to send a manned mission to the moon by the end of the decade and nature will deploy extra forces to cost of will often thousands of people were interested in clashes between the police and nato. lead peacekeepers with s mix ups,

they make up the majority of the countries and all, and they have been demanding the removal of recently elected ethnic albanian maze and ethnics the majority areas. nato stays around. 25, peacekeepers happened wounded in unprovoked attacks. the unrest is focused around several towns in the north, including vision tensions had been rising since the may is took office last week. native peacekeepers and comfortable police pulled injured offices to safety. as protests spun out of control. ethnics demonstrate is une refused to move costs of police vehicles, witnesses se peacekeepers used to gas and it's done grenades to clear. the protest is who responded by throwing rocks bottles and even explosives.

cause will also set the light is demonstrate as the most on the removal of ethnic albanian men who are elected by just 3 and a half percent to vote is because uh in cost of a boy called the election cost of oak use this view of influencing ethnic subsidies stabilize the country, so be as president blaine cost of those prime minister for the unrest. results here have been a quote to you. this was designed by alvin, quoting. because of his design, it to start to conflict between the subs and nato own we get an increase, wasn't supposed to so that they could wash his hands of the whole thing. the better give up those google care because it was a string of incidents going back years. so strained relations between the 2 neighbors, e. u and us officials have criticized customize leaders for running the controversial

elections. well i just met with both of those talking about the situation right now in the north and are scared of the process of violence. sylvia has now put its military on high alert, fueling phase of further instability in europe. and dw is andros a very joins me now from belgrade. kentucky of the program. it will what is happening at the moment. nato says it's the pulling additional forces to cost of a lot of the situation. now it's uh, pretty much calmer than uh, yesterday, but uh, i can say that it's very fragile. s a service are still around the buildings of municipalities and they announced another process for tomorrow. and of course, nato was there, s, it's the responsibility of need the troops to take care of sexuality and all over

the customer was in the board in 1999. and it's the 1st time we had insurance people after many years in this part of the coastal one. that's why need to it's, it's sending more troops as they called before that there was no need. so by years, only $3700.00 natal soldiers were lasting, close a lot of, but obviously there, it's a need for need to be a staging control in the north and try to settle down the inter and think of the complex that are raising up every day more and more and they drilled with this increased and they to deployment can be expect that the tensions could be result any time soon. a as well. it's a political decision. uh you was trying to make a meeting between the prime minister of costa was in court in the president of

serbia, alexander, which is doing the summit that this coming its being called and dropped his love uh for security, but uh, both sides, they canceled the, their trips there due to the situation here, so it's not easy to predict what's gonna happen there. uh, as of the sites didn't really move from their point of view one from uh, what they are a to do on the situation remains. they're very fragile. and although we were used to see this picture calling from northland coastal every few months now for the last year in a bit longer. uh, but uh, obviously there is no political agreement to a federal nature deal with the how this situation shouldn't be used as all right. that's all andros, a fairy proposing for us in belgrade?
