this is way too much, i want it all wrong. mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. watching our new to the w documentary, the, this is the, the news lie from berlin. ukraine says it has read, taken a key village from russian forces, but moscow denies its troops have been pushed back. the spike being claimed gaines keeps counter offensive, is making slow progress. meanwhile,

vladimir putin is courting african leaders in st. petersburg, promising to consider their proposal to end the war in ukraine. view and security council condemns the military takeover in the share. the statement comes after the head of the presidential guard a points himself defacto leader, the on top of all the areas. welcome to the program. we begin in ukraine where the military says it has recaptured. more territory from russian forces keeps says, a key frontline village in the eastern region of dot net had been liberated by ukrainian troops. the counter offensive began last month, but progress has been slow. officials in chief have urged patience, noting the difficulties posed by extensive russian fortifications,

bundling out the back of anomalous vehicle into the firing line. ukraine's military release, this footage of troops attacking russian positions near the occupied eastern city of back moved. key says it is false as a make the advances, despite heavy resistance on somebody else. but it's further to the west that ukraine has. their policy to break through. the military says, soldiers have liberated the front line, but it's a stat on my oscar president load him. is the lensky welcome to news sharing. this footage of soldiers announcing the villages, reparation all day off. 2 weeks of slow progress. it's recapture. it will be a new milestone, few cranes counter offensive. russia, however, has denied it, supposes of being defeated with the defense ministry spokesperson saying they had

repelled of ukraine attack in the area and inflicted heavy casualties. moscow has also kept up its attacks fabi on the front lines with new missile strikes on the central ukrainian city of neat pro. on friday, several people were wounded off to a residential complex and ukrainian state security service building. what hit both well mostly empty when themselves fell. mean that this time at least no one was killed. while, as ukraine continues to attack, new cranes or as russia continues to attack, you, crime city is beyond the front line. i asked the military analyst frank language for his take on the tactic. we saw, we saw a textbook yesterday as your reports indicate to don't do the pro. this is a continuation of russ it's comp paid but started last october. there's 2 elements this the 1st days to undermine to run the cuts. they were all of the people which is singularly failed to do,

which is the side. people are not afraid of these rocket bottoms, and buckets and bombs, i should say. they, it's not for, they've got use simple to understand the purposes to talk number, all the 2nd thing just around the more insidious and rather more effective. so we see a tax on key of evolving a few doesn't miss aisles usually be so he throws on some older massage and the purpose that is not so much the cost drivers because almost always you know, 90 to a 100 percent of them are shut down so you might be asking about why they doing this, and the answer is to deplete ukraine's condition, particularly out of this down to you, i clicked on munition. and it is true to say, i think that you can still having problems, the staging not be an issue, particularly for the roles of soviet system. so that's all the, the, the west and not arena for the next few months. just to make sure that you kind of know defenses a showed up on supply. does that mean to ship a new west and i mean, it should because the new uh, uh,

dante across system integrates that defense system that you credit is going to have . it's going to be even better than the old one. but right now, they're not. they're in that sort of trough, whether running outs, associates, ex, soviet get on like just getting the, the western get not, not trusts. gonna last another few months. frank, briefly, if you could, how well do you think moscow has prepared to repel at ukraine's contra fence as well as the printing journals? tusky said 2 days ago downstairs. well, they've done it professionally. they've done it pretty much stopped finally, which means they've done it right. they've, it's their explosive experience of decades and of the data of the over the last century. and i think a lot of us understood this is going to happen. and it what happens to the residence at last it was like this is they fail to, to, for the 1st year they line. i don't know much more for me to glad to meet the weakness. they have, however, is it, the generals are more, more the one of the modem, shut off a kid who's lines defense as long as he saw the big, the rest of the c team. and so i was in the foot by firing these gentlemen,

so generally guarded by the rank and file as were all the competent. so look, you craze have an appeal task, but they're more than capable of doing it. the point is it's going to take a long time and everybody should be aware for a long slugging, much good, well into next year. military experts, frank language, thank you for joining us on dw, thanks very much to the public. what was the pleasure? russian president vladimir putin says he is carefully studying a peace plan proposed by african leaders to end the war in ukraine meters pressed, proven to end the fighting during told sort of somebody in saint petersburg, vital grain supplies to africa have been disrupted by the war. and by russia pulling out of a deal, enabling ukrainian grain exports. pollutant has offered free grain to 6 african nations, but the african union says the promised russian supplies fall far short of what people need. now addressing the summit, the russian president signed leaders for their peace plan and for their response to

his invasion. but it was nice to see me just because i know that you have sincerely interested in doing what you've done to help achieve, adjust and sustainable solution to the contract with any snow which and of course we greatly appreciate a balanced approach as well as the fact that you have not supported and do not support on the russian rhetoric utility according to an anti russian campaign, just simply to put in a slip. if that happened, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. well, for a deeper dive into this topic, we're now joined from london by dr. natalia. tell up neva, a historian and lecture in international history at the university of strafford clyde. welcome to dw. so what do you think president proven wanted to achieve with this so much? well, i think president clinton here is of course, grasping at straws because he is running really short on international allies. and

the idea of the summit that because i'm at the, the way it was the original admission. what's the cost of the just that. but, you know, you can see, especially in comparison to the summit the few years ago, just how much with the last 2 and a but l a. c has now in comparison to the 1019, even in africa, where usually a russia has a lot of good will historically now to announced some major commitments at the summer from free grain to free weapons. but come, the actual russian economy affords a to make these uh promises. it's very, it's very hard to, to know all the details, of course, because a lot of these pronouncements quite restore it. cool. and that meant to kind of show up this alliances and bring in some of these countries to remain friends also

on the international i agenda. but in general, i think especially when it comes to looking to weapons and, and techniques. but he will be able to go to on, there are some of this commitments, especially that in africa, they know, but already the full kind of couple of years. the ross has been provide and kind of no strings attached to advise and know how on securing the issues and also and also arms. so i think at the moment of the rest of the comics situation is is still ok. so i think it will be able, especially in the short term to do this. but of course we don't know what's going to happen in the long term. and i think, given that attendance of the current summit is much lower than the previous one, it seems like there's also a lot of a kind of uncertainty among the african nations about russia's future

potential as well in terms of corporation. is essentially russia looking to find a trade partner for russian much the same way that the you used to be for russia, and is it essentially a viable trade partner? and i think it's interesting to see, i think there's a genuine debate as to whether this corporation with african countries that you know, basically puts in the people around been, have been trying to get off the ground for some time. now whether it's really motivated by politics, fundamentally, or comics, there are sort of arguments how much this can be profitable and how much african countries can compensate for the loss of european union. it seems like there is some hope that this can be done, but it seems like in the, in china can be provide much,

much for him of condition when it comes to economics and kind of providing this sort of showing up the russian exports of brain. but i think, fundamentally, it's about politics, i think, fundamentally it's about, i mean, there is a reason why puts in emphasize the diplomatic efforts of african african nations to kind of peacekeeping. so, i think, fundamentally, it's a political, political summit. and the goals of political is to show that russia is not isolated, that it probably still has international allies, dr. natalia phillip neva from the university of strathclyde. thank you for joining us here on dw. thank you. let's bring you up to date now on some other stories. this type soon, doc, sorry, is battering china with heavy rain anti winds. it's one of the strongest storms to
