far behind the bus for the people need to know what is happening there in our series guardians of truth, watch now on youtube dw documentary, the this is dw news of life from berlin, an apparent new blow to russia's war effort. video show a series of new glass in fi. mia is being illegally. a next peninsula key to ukraine's counter offensive will ask and military analysts. cambodia holds electrons on sunday. but after 4 decades of when since rule,

is there any chance for true democracy? and in the women's world cup of reigning champions, usa took off their campaign with a comfortable win over vietnam. the a one welcome to help you with around the world. i'm like local videos showing a series of explosions across russian occupied columbia had been posted to social media sites. the moscow installed authorities on the peninsula say in ammunition depot, exploded and caught fire after being struck by ukrainian drones. the incident occurred at crab, know that nobody scott in central crimea, they said there were no casualties in the glass and ordered and vacuum nation of the area. ukraine's military has not commented on the explosions. earlier i spoke to marina muran, military analyst at kings college,

london about the attacks and russian occupied crimea. i asked her, what ukraine's forces are trying to achieve a good day, michael. well, um, for the ukrainians side, um the courage bridge and the caribbean peninsula. ever since the annexation into 1014 has been an important territory which ukraine seeks to recapture. however, it is very difficult. and the crane now said, this is a military part of russia which connects russia essentially, was it occupied ukrainian territories. right now they are for given the fact that the comprehensive is going slow and ukraine is looking for other opportunities. now having the capabilities, having the cluster munitions, having long range missiles, such as storm shadow to strike russia where it hurts, mostly,

namely in crimea. present in savanski has now declared the columbia and bridge an enemy facility. and therefore, a military target previously keeps been fairly reticent with such statements. why it is clear, bold announcement now as well. i think it is interesting that there was a change of rhetoric because the 1st time to destroys a bridge was in october of 2022, which has disrupt the traffic on the bridge. and i think we have to look at it from a more political perspective, because at that point you didn't have that capability sort of had. and it also have to ensure is that uh, western allies pop back. can you bring in an action that whatever ukraine is doing is not going to damage any potential weapon deliveries from west or in the allies.

and now, especially after russia withdrawing from the green deal. i think that all the foundries has been passed and they are for, as president the landscape correctly stated, that it is a military objective because essentially, the real way is the supply room for the russian forces in the occupied territories . therefore, from the international perspective, you can consider it as a military objective, and we only have half a minute. but i do want to ask you, um, you know, traffic on that bridge not surprisingly, was interrupted today. what would be the likely impact on russian objectives? ukraine was to destroy that bridge? well, it would create a logistical nightmare for russia, because it will make it very difficult for russia to supplies of troops on the occupied territories in ukraine. therefore, a destruction would be of strategic importance for ukraine and also it, it has

a symbolic value for put in himself. so you have the military strategic significance and also political and symbolic significance. however, it might take a lot of effort to actually destroys a bridge itself. as i understood that is the, remember ron military analyst at king's college london as ever thanks much. thank you for having me. hundreds of thousands of people among the many ukrainians are gathering on the streets of the drummond capital to show solidarity with eligibility to movements worldwide. this year. as christopher street day parade focuses on the hostilities against the drag community, marchers are protesting against the laws targeting gig and trans people, especially in african countries like you've gone to gone to and the media where how much extra activity is a crime under tomato b, pride like ukraine,
