use on our website, best dw, dock. com. the crime this claim is full, but city advances as it continues its counter offensive against russian occupying forces. courses, statements from the cleaning and military speak of small patches of territory, catch it in moscow. the claims abroad, letting me put and says he cried is attacking at least 4 sect is across the front line across. and last, as he says, adults, why those on the crime inside? i'm anthony, how it in berlin? and this is the day the we trust the models of us, but we are moving forward and that's crucial. the enemy's losses are exactly what we need on this issue by taking their losses are approaching

a level that could be described as catastrophic. the russians didn't expect that speed from us. they started to withdraw immediately. during your visit last 24 hours, 3 ukrainian attacks backed up with time to nominate vehicles, whatever of how all attacks will re file the one in the side will not re take this village. we will stand, we all marine infantry glory to you. great. also coming up, donald trump, pleads not guilty to charges for lighting from his handling of classified documents, whatever the outcome, it's clear. few people divide opinions as much as the former us president. they're trying just you know, to break him. that's what i think, you know, the trying to get anything they can to break. nobody's about the law. so if he did it anything illegal to ensure go all out and see what you can do.

welcome to the dice. deep ranch counter offensive continues with cape climbing to have made small guides decline. a government has a pledge right from the start that the information fly would be trussel back to avoid putting the military operation in jeopardy. neither a secretary general in still from their cars come into the he describes the early stages of the offensive difficult. stone book says the ukraine is making advances and the more territory by recapture, the more likely it is that russia will be forced to the negotiating type. in moscow, president flooded me a foot and spoke at a meeting of military blog as on she stay, rushes objectives in. it's for a new crime, has not changed. he said, a decline. the crime was suffering 10 times, as many casualty as russia. a claim for which he didn't provide any 1st. we'll get a view of the battlefield from an analyst in just a moment. but 1st, this report gooden fire. i made claims of victory

as ukraine's counter offensive gets under way. all that well, the problem, kyle, we know representatives of the 137, a battalion of marine and control is of course mobile and the 35th brigade of the marine infantry which is that the quotes have liberated the village of muck of you've got embedded in the region from russian troops to they won't be able to retake this village. they are fine. reading is you're going to hear with artillery motors and tags. then we will hold on glory to green. g saves it's counter offensive, has read captured villages image on net skins, upper region regions. but the russian defense ministry released these pitches claiming that they had repelled counter offensive attacks by ukrainian false. as president putin described opposition law says as close to catastrophic here the shelves, if you all the box of the control rumbles on of the

city was one's home to 12000 people for the few who remain here. little information is, guess it loosely. it means that that we don't have electricity, your internet is yet. you came here and told us that the counter offensive had already begun with a political to the fact that we are here walking around and wondering if it started just doesn't really seem right to continue. continue teaching of ukraine, save it has liberated as many as 7 villages on its front lines. 3 of them was the 3 days ago. the russian forces were still here. so we changed them out from this coach, new laurie to crane. this village was under russian occupation for one and a half years. but these are ukrainian lands them little thing that may be optimism over parts of games. but beneath the blue and yellow of ukraine's flag

by the bodies of those killed in the fight. for more analysis, we are now joined by justin from a military veteran intelligence and security expert seo of sibling, which is a strategic advisory company, joins us from the u. k, great, that'd be with us. justin. it's on the really dies in the crime in counter offensive. what's your understanding of the crime in advance as it stands? i mean, as you just to ukraine is a balancing on a few axis. so there are 2 main ones in the south, and the law says that for you sure. and then on the boundary between that some and the deluxe region, i'm not c area where your correspond. it was just reporting that the ukraine has captured a string of villages on the river. the body that sort of starts to push towards wherever rushes occupies the land. and you try to build these long defensive lines you seen. but they're also pushing in the east and, you know,

i've talked before about like much, obviously a big focus of russian defensive activity for a long period of time. and they've been shenice, i don't divide into us, etc. but ukraine cardi, pushing back around there as well. certainly instead, leave in the area and just getting small amounts of ground each day. so put more pressure on the russians that are as well. so they're developing a few options right now. just in the finance. have surprised everyone before. is there anything unexpected? is there anything that a surprised you about the tactics that using i'll say not say for in terms of of what i told him. i think it's very important to say these are the opening stages of a long drawn out offensive par ukraine. this is never going to be 3 days to the coast of the sea above all of which is probably one of the 3rd intended lines. but it's time to try and cut the russians in hoff and something you find a threatening crime in that starts. probably one of the key objectives they have. this phase is all about slowly gathering ground grabbing information on the

russians, seizing up on pages positions, drawing out russian was us fighting russian artillery electronic bullfighter upsets that. come on, does the logistics, it's about talking a lot of those things and building the conditions to the next phase of the attack. and i think that's where you create has real surprises to come as it develops this complex picture over a period of time. so i think somebody, we've been surprised, we haven't seen more advances from ukraine, but it makes sense with a tosser up against this very comprehensive defensive line in the south. they're going to take the time they're going to go study and they're going to try and build opportunities, mrs. hamp out nation the head of the box. them nice and read for. if you have any precautions, says april, take a month and a half before we can save what the counter offensive has achieved. is that a timeframe you would concur with before we pass? judgment? i mean i, i hate to agree with them on anything. a tool to be honest, but um yeah, i think that's entirely my thinking as well. my team. so you mean you creating a several months in hand effectively to try me gain territory before the winter

sets in again the month season sets in again. and i think he's right, you know, you called judge a successful failure of this offensive in the 1st day or 2. and even in the 1st week or 2, i think it does take some time before we see ukraine make more daring and bolts said she wants a while down the initial level of russian defense. and so i think that is a good timeframe. this is something we're going to be coming back to. i'm sure quite often to have a look at and see how it's progressing. so nothing. that's what we've decided so far, nothing listing on the battlefield is giving a huge indication of which way it's going. but it was going to be a big from fight long ukraine knows that they were not alone. and they obviously, they're going to keep pushing away. these rushing 1st lines of defense isn't in screening areas for as long as they can to build that picture. i talked about the hub with the crime received a promise to be a game changer on the battlefield. in terms of defense, the patriot system seem to have performed admirably in terms of attack though,

do we know how effective the, how it says the, the tanks, the on the vehicles approving going forward for your car or yeah, either the game changer thing. i'm going to put a time and time again in this conflict, and it's pretty much never been a, a game changing weapon system and is a roy of them, potentially nuclear weapons and anything short of that and offer you some thoughts for the volunteer. so that nothing on the battlefield is on, on the present. nothing on the battlefield is invaluable. yeah, there is no silver bullet in baltimore and how you use those things together. and so i think the fact that we've seen some law suppression, that's always, most of the times, for example, an american bradley on the personal carriers. and it got some people very concerned that they sold out very early on. but the reality is, i hate to say it is take them on to, but your tanks are expendable, they just expect to be quite a bit before they eventually get killed because it's a hard it boys, boys, brutal um the voltage. i think the, the sort of equipment,

the ukraine has been receiving new singles evidence of this is that it is much more civilized the boat and the russian equipment. and the soviet union didn't particularly value the lives of its people because it had lots of them. so they had adult turned about having lots of cheap equipment. it was very fast, not very well protected, but they could use that on the battlefield in large numbers. the russian equipment now of course, has come from that ancestry by control us. nato did not have a lot of soldiers evaluate the people very highly. and so we built equipment is much most advisable. it has to take a rama, it has protection, prevent munition explosives and what we see on the battlefield is that the western supply, the equipment when it is destroyed, most commonly by mines. the crews are escaping the infantry in the back, are escaping and not able to fight again. i think that's one of the more interesting points of the coverage we have seen so far off those vehicles in use and again suffering losses. but that is to be expected. they have plenty more and huge amounts that have not yet been committed to the fight. just particularly in

terms of the let that you know this piece of equipment. well, is there any surprise that your crime is losing these weapons in battle? you know, again, i think expectations were raised because there's a lot of information and aspects of this particular concept 6 on social media love . so the big campaign about the left is the coming, and the reality is if anyone could pick one of the most average russian tanks of all the other sites that ukraine has, you. if you pick the level as being a much more so the light will go vehicle much better to come on, much more capable. but again, it's milton vulnerable. it is not a a box. the company destroyed. it's very easy and nice sorts of operations to have a bad day out with unfortunately, and lose a lot of people, especially when you're trying to get through a minefield new sort of vehicles and they've got it. it's really important. and this of the people managed to escape the crews get back. they can always you put on a new vehicle. well, i mean, flat not in previous complex, you call replace that trained crew. the ukraine especially has a small approval of available soldiers. so they have to the golf those cruise more

. it's also a huge the important some are all and for keeping a full what's going through a defensive. so compared to the rest of it has given you quite a lot of the bunk just and it's also pointing very well that noise in the movement during this equipment. because it has several sites, it can be based sites and we're seeing much more use of night time tactics. and indeed they used to smoke on the battlefield to protect these more more than vehicles. and that's something we didn't see before, along with an evolution of tactics. so, you know, overall it's definitely a progressing and how you create and is waging more. you know, they all on the offensive now and it's not going to be a week or so it's going to be a few months break. we got to present them put into they claim to is knocked out 30 percent of you find out that you find a suffering 10 times with casualties, russian forces attacking what do you make of those clubs or that they're pretty ludicrous. i mean, both sides over say in was almost always making place, explains about what they're talking to and to me,

so you always take these numbers with inches. so, but the current russian claims are pretty ludicrous and they don't have the coverage to back it up. they're showing the same flips again to get a vehicle sick. i think it's very inflated, named his own audience, but it is brutal pointing and you know, he's, you know, about that in mind. this is a hard operation, both sides. a lot of lives going to be lost in flight testing, correct? correct. to get your input at this critical moment in the will. thanks so much. thank you. well, the destruction of the nova chemicals, good them and ukraine is close to city of flooding along the need for a river in areas near the black sea, the region is home to some of the country's most 1st home agricultural land. any funds on this right from the flooding? the deputy correspondence on you found like a send us this report from a village in the nickel nice which the village of bob little money on the scott and southeastern ukraine. it was bombarded heavily solstio by occupying russian forces,

leaving mines and explosives everywhere. now, southern flooding has severed baba's supplies, and cutoff entire areas. the destruction of the gulf of them has affected police is much further away. sure in the we can live region a meter agricultural area, walton levels and who lets river have risen dramatically. and that has other major impact on farms here. there's only one way to get around the village of the ssl and that was awesome. the, the water smells chemical, it's really bad and it could be deficient dogs. here the fields were fertilized and not everything's in the water level. the russians didn't get us, but the floods dental's getting to the appropriate events. father by dean says many people didn't believe they would be impacted because the deb break occurred nearly

a 150 kilometers away. but no one was preparing. this isn't the only home and farm to be supplement. the ratio hands actually single did most of the beans, 200 take, the fields have disappeared. his body, sunflower, and wheat. out this somewhere, the polluted in charlottesville, has transformed the landscape. the loss of his crops isn't his only worthy measure, but we hop in from us. we know what it is to lose everything and start again. i tell you the ground will be contaminated because of a lot of chemicals, diesel valuable machine. oil will have a different kind of tragedy. might them and does not have some testing that does. it's a major concern for small. it's almost like monday of wave would be not as we speak at the top, we know how much work was involved with that implanted this with our own hands. it's old guns. and one moment the former teacher mainly grows vegetables own family . she and the husband, like see the southern floods,

probably meant many farmers couldn't get the machinery and farm chemicals to dry ground in time to prepare for the skin. for just when you get into water, there must be chemicals in there that could affect the each meter deep ground will be useful water maybe so you put in my biggest concern is the oldest motor was into the ground. i mean, we'll do an after that, it will be impossible to use this. we also is not just to drink to, but even tomorrow shall close night. it will be a disaster with to be dealt with this says the plate of contamination has alarmed local authorities. this unit was set up in april last year to monitor the impact of the war on the environment. now the floods of the focus quarter, cuz those are these got the insured. it's the nightmare. yeah ma'am. and this is all over when the water receives and the long term, the situation will get worse, you remove the system, but there are places where symmetry so flooded. so no pets temperatures as well. no

one can really say for sure what the consequences could be was is that us, it came up with boston and twits, a part of life here. like so many segments near the frontline. bob lou maria, nice ago, has suffered waves of tragedy and sufficed from a us president, donald trump says he's not guilty to federal judges that he unlawfully kept national security documents. when he left office trumpet paid at the court in miami to face $37.00 felony counts, related to the documents and then struck the investigators if it's to recover the it convicted you could try c as in prison, trump was allowed to leave court without conditions or travel restrictions and no cash bone was required. but supporters and opponents of the former president demonstrated outside the courthouse. what's happening in america,

they can do this to the leading party. this doesn't happen in america. maybe in other countries, 3rd world, perhaps we need some decent. se morality in this country. we have lost it now. so we do need some just this, this what has happened over the last couple of years since trump has been and office has been so. so deviating from the dorm. it's unbelievable. he's a good we ever had drunk thoughtful, but we know drop one. i'm here because it is a great injustice. what they're doing to president trump. it is seems that our country is now a banana republic that we do with 3rd world countries are doing. you should have been locked up a long time ago because he graduated from the school of rocks in new york and he has a master's degree. well from all of that spring and my official, he's

a senior editor at the washington post. i'm quite happy with this. i feel like describing it as a spectacle is on the feeling that some what, what goes through your mind when you see the crowds at the courthouse, the multiple coverage you it? well, the baltimore coverage is exactly the right thing to focus on, because the browns themselves were not that large. it's really the media spectacle . and that's what does donald trump has always specialized in throughout his career as a real estate developer. as a business man, just you know, magnate and as a politician. so he is achieving what has always achieved, which is because the center of attention, english oh man. i so, you know, most people think of the, the bottom amount of their lives to get the absolute worst day of what's being arranging for a facing years. it's about decades in federal prison. and what he's created here is

a spectacle that quits him as a focus of americans attention, which is always wanted to be, as he always said, he doesn't care with the news is very bad as long as he's ever so how does that old stack up the circus around the courthouse of the sounds, the demonstrations. how does that stack up against the severity of the charges, the trump is facing? it does seem incapable. so it seems like a complete mismatch of people on the street are taking this as some form of entertainment, or perhaps there's some sort of dire sweat against the nation that it's the ability . in fact it's neither of those things. busy it is the, perhaps the inevitable data more of a man who ran the country as he'd run his business with me regard for the rules with little regard for more. and so to donald trump, it was 2nd nature to take the documents that he was

a nice to catch. you will be in charge of when he was president and turned them into his personal property. this is a serious matter because of classified documents and ball was a serious matter because he defied the efforts of the f, b. i and justice department to get those documents returned to the government to whom they belong. and so he does face serious threat here. but as you saw me interviews on the street to a lot of people, this does seem. busy an attack, a political attack on the trip, and they have some grounding for that's nice because they look at older publications who have perhaps can infer include taking government documents home with them and they're not being tried. and so they see, this is perhaps an extreme reaction to transfer. it's beyond all that noise. how strong is the case? the prosecutors have against trump the so if you go by the letter of the law,

of the evidence that's laid out in the indictment, certainly need some surpasses any threshold for conviction in this case and appears to be. busy looking at it, this is what the government has presented, obviously the homepage in the trial, but i think we've been diagnosed at face value been clearly trump has done these things. trump is admitted that he took the documents that he was supposed to under ball it cleared from the evidence that he was objecting to and from steps to when returning some of those documents to the government. but that's very different from getting a conviction in a trial or a jury you selected or jury will have different attitudes about the truck will dream. will have seen a number of ads of news reports. busy a trunk cleaning, this is a personal attack that no one else would be prosecuted for exactly to say that that will resonate with many people. the 1st few prosecution boxes, they want

a speedy trial. what are the chances of that happening here? so this trial is on a collision course with the 2020 for presidential campaign and the election. the justice department has a standing policy, but they don't to prosecute people who are running for office in the weeks ahead of an election. we don't hard and fast how long that treaties, but they don't to try not to interfere with elections. but we're really in a campaign already wanting supposing. so really making appearances and primary things. the 1st of the things coming up in august. so this case has a collision course 0 explains and thing the inspector timing judge for example, the attitudes of the lawyers and all the cases. trump himself says he wants to

speak, trying to prosecute or certainly say we want on the term has many ways in which we can some of this down and force the justice department's hand as it comes into defense interfering with the top of the coast. last, some lawyers just before we got to the court in miami, the judge that was a trump, a pointed judge, could that have any relevance as the trial goes on to radically itself supposed judges, of course, are supposed to be independent judges are supposed to take each case as it comes and deal only with the evidence at hand. however, discharging can dealt with familiar aspect of this documents issue and when she did she, the issue was that so much more difficult to be the i mean access to the documents . they need me to this the best dish that just really was overturned by me to serve the panel that was done just so she was overcome by judges. and

soon she was someone who was identified by thanks for holding these and democrats, as someone who may have a particularly meeting to trump, or frankly, was to in terms of arguments, mistakes. and so there's considerable concern, but she will not be as free and on the up enough as room i call any of the the fish fish, a senior editor at the washington post. what rod this is going to be, thanks for being with us on the day. thanks the quote, the day is almost done, but the conversation continues online. you'll find us on the social media channels at the date of lead use the incident and twitter overall in depth analysis. please go to dw adults. com. i'm anthony howard in berlin from a in the team here. but hoping you have a good the
