the, the, this is the, the news life from berlin off to toyota. so i think overall shows and vision. we look at what could be next for ukraine at oscar can keep keep up the fights facing i'm innocent, shortages and delays from western allies on funding the water efforts. also coming up the us or teams. it's fast moving, landing in half a century. flight control has confirmed they're receiving a frame signal from the lunar cellphone and the firefighters search for people stated missing off to the deputy fide as to residential tires in eastern spain.

witnesses say it's a peer, the buildings flooding fuels in front of the . i'm british manager, thanks so much for joining us. ukraine remains in the fight for the war has entered an uncertain phase just ahead of the 2 year mark of russia's full scale invasion. now to bring you back to how old is started. on the morning of the february, the 24th of february 2022 ukrainians woke up this shilling in major cities and russian tanks rolling across the board up. russian president vladimir fulton called it a special military operation to illuminate the types of a hostile ukraine armed by the west. he expected a quick and decisive victory. instead, ukraine put up a stiff defense that's done into a grinding fight to the doctors. you can't do that, you make kind of

a pauses the question. where is this going? the only thing we can regret is that we didn't stop active measures earlier. means the rule that was brought to my patients message, their recent interview with the russian state tv woods to put an end to speculation that the kremlin might be open to some kind of deal to freeze this conflict. originally let's say, which is ukraine x. but at london's chatham house think tank, she says bruton still thinks he can take all of ukraine. it is clear from both ends, public statements that she's not changing. she's wor, objectives. what i see russia in this. yeah. really believes it has a chance. it has a chance to break ukraine, and they will be breaking ukraine militarily. a named russian sources talking about the potential piece to adjust to districts and tactics. she says. they also work in the west to actually undermine decision making,

to send these confusing messages about the possible ceasefire. meanwhile, not meeting cease fire for them. they would like to see washington actually accepting uh food instead of tauriel, grab versus victory nap div go was the biggest since the full back work last may many expect pushing to use momentum gain to try to take all the full ukrainian regions. he's already formally annexed. that's done yet. so, hans, so patricia. okay, so it will be easy. ukraine still controls large waves of these regions. puts in may want to push on, but does he actually have the results is taking of div construction forces. many lives wasted intelligence estimates for the casualties and over 10000 dead, a one russian ministry builder. you can claim that the death toll had reached $16000.00 mike martin the senior visiting fellow and was that is at kings college london. he says that ukraine, you know, me, can make russia pay

a higher price for any territorial gains. defense is much easier than attack. the russians may well be able to take small amounts of grounds at great cost, but they don't then it suddenly roll it over and take up is that can raise your desktop. and i know you guys know that they need to just move back very slowly. their ability to do that will depend on how well west and support holds up to have got ukrainians were fortunately out gunned $5.00 to $1.00 you promise its supply ukraine with a 1000000 shells in a year failed. while russia got that many from north korea in a matter of months, well, you can, you know, is now on washington. but i think at the moment we were that little bit of a guy political lighting point. everyone's waiting to see what happens with the us presidential election. thank you. from winds. we all going to say, you know, quote unquote the date of the century and from is going to hand lodge average of

ukraine to pizza and for the ukrainians. all work of the assumption that they're on there right now. so they're doing what they can with homegrown innovation. heating targets deep inside russia with long range drones to fit maximum damage on pretends war economy has ukraine and his 3rd year full is trying to take the flight to russia while it waits to see whether the west provides resources. have another go on. the battlefields did up those or you can go to, to conway, who find that that report runs as not from keith. good morning, nick, to you as into the war. ukraine has just last of these guy at the end of, of failed account defensive against russia. i was more all in the country holding up a look. i think the rest, the thing about idea of go was the date chosen to lead. most people here, i believe that ukrainian chip should have lost less that stitching earlier should have minimize the losses when leaving rather than questioning the fact that the of

cold was eventually left. that the rest is what allows us to come and substitute. it didn't have a great deal of strategic importance. it was basically ukrainian kind of what was going to explain. it was kind of the closest bit of your credit control territory to don't you city. it was surrounded on 3 sides by russian troops and had been for quite some time. and i think for most ukrainians of the, if it is basically seen as another bus much i sent you that has some symbolic importance that the russians really wants to catch it. but it doesn't really change direction. the front lines be so off the rest it cut to the bottom with, which basically was the last biggest success pre of the, of course, not much changed to ukraine troops still getting just west of westwood. so i think this is something that let in the future and wanted before his re election campaign, but that doesn't really change the big picture. and i think if you look around me here and see if this is still a country that is functioning against the we expectations, especially the beginning where people thought that russian troops would be and keep within a matter of days, there is question about the us support can ukraine put up

a fight much longer if aid from the us doesn't arrive? the, obviously, the us is crucial us weapon stokes, all just on a different scale to any of the nato country for that matter. so when the us is broke down in certain internal political struggles, that is a problem. but we have seen european countries also, japan canada trying to step up, trying to send more money, more supplies. now trying to bridge that gap before a decision comes out of washington, i think brutally. and i also sent you create and using those low range drones to attack, not only a rushes, black sea fleets, but also oil facilities. and russ try and really deprive pressure of the financial results to keep on fighting this war. and there is a hope pay it that will. so in the future, the west will allow ukraine to use the weapons. it's already received to strike targets in russia itself. we've had a interview with you and still to go to the general sector of nato, saying that when you create and get those f 16 jet since being promised, it is legitimate for ukraine to use them against targets in russia. that would make

that stress much, much, either rather than trying to inception of themselves, attack themselves systems on russian territory. if that is something that you crane is desperate to do next, 2 years into this uh, grinding wall, how open ukrainian scott and k to any potential negotiate to be staying with russia? well, we're not seeing any sign that the russians are up. so piece of that includes and thinks he's on a role and wants to push homes advantage. well, west and support is uh, you know, failing to keep pace. i think if you look at the social is it here and ukraine, people say yes, we often see open to talk. but when you ask them, are you willing to give you credit in turkey? are you willing to promise not to join nature or the you, the vast majority of the crating says, no, i think the most people here as well for the situation is now as big as the, you know, the kind of death toll numbers of the kind of serious is the least bad option when you ask them why not just freezes contact, they say, well, you know, rush, it will be back in a few years time stronger if we let them risk to recover and recuperate now. so

there's a real sense of how he's got to push this home. now to avoid high jobs, people's children to fight in 5, within his time. nick, you've been coveting this war from day one, so i'm going to ask you one last question. what struck you most about ukraine's fight back against the russian invasion in the past 2 years? i think ukraine is there a horizontal side who is, is society where maybe looks like a government and students that work that well, the way people know each other communicate and especially in those kind of 1st 3 months, you had people just organizing spontaneously trying to find resources for the army for themselves, helping refugees. that was something that no one really expected on that scale. and even now you have, you're basically constant requests from people. you know, you hear all, can you tell the friends or family, do you have money for drones? do you have money for a call for this military unit? this is basically what is keeping you creating the flow to apart from that western support. so there was a real sense that that even puts in underestimate to ukraine. maybe the government wasn't as strong as well, pads it could have been for you credit,

so he was able to pull that gap and keep this country going really. but there, thanks so much for joining us this morning. dw, you can go to treat me. connelly and keith, thanks so much. i and a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines around the above us president joe biden has met with the window and door total pressure on position the dialects in the valley. the visit at the hotel in san francisco came as a lighthouse announced a fresh sanctions against russia. nobody's family. an allies say he was killed in the russian prison on president vladimir putin support is the largest hospital in the us to develop i'mma has suspended it's in vitro fertilization treatments. it follows the ruling by the states highest court that say is frozen embryos authorized pigs of the legal equivalent of children. the hospitalizations, it must evaluate whether it's patients or doctors could face criminal charges. and the german lawmakers are set to vote on a bill that would legalize kind of as it would allow adults to grow the plans at

home. and because there's up to 25 grams in public. the plan to end the 40 yvonne has face resistance from parts of the judiciary and law enforcement. now it is something that nasa is hating as a giant leap forward. a robotics based cross printed by a private sector company has landed on the moon. it was the 1st control of defense to the moon by us been spacecraft since 1972 when s as a potent program. last book astronaut on the lunar surface, the company behind the mission called intuitive machines hopes to collect data with the lender. but this is to better understand the new 9 bottom mission director, tim create and say, as well as the spacecraft johnny is that the end it's work is only just beginning. what we can confirm without a doubt is our equipment is on the surface of

a man and we are transmitting. so, regulations i and team will see how much more we can get from that. the excellent call from our mission director for 891 a basketball. now with leah, i would rush from the the design. so anybody in the studio? good morning there. this is just the latest in a series of luna emissions that we have seen. why this southern russian fascination to get to the more now? yeah, it seems weird, right? after 5 decades, no one was interested in or no, no everyone's to go there. yes. like bluray. so 2 of the one is on again. definitely. and the different reason, the reason is of course, the nation's countries, also a commercial excess. they want to go there, want to test and demonstrate the knowledge their technological power, which kind of has kind of impacts also on other um, technical areas. and another big reason is that there was water discovered on the

moon. so that makes the moon and much kind of more promising destination to go to because we can produce drinking water for food trust or not. we can make real good fuel if we splits water into hydrogen and oxygen and then go further into the solar system. so the moon is also seen as kind of a stop to go to mars, to go to other planets from there on. they also, of course signs aims to be able to for the discover the moon to see, to maybe install a telescope on the moon, on the 1st set up the moon to look without disturbance into the solar system to the universe. so that quite some reasons that make the move in an interesting place to go. and it's not just the moon in general, but most specifically the moon south portal, because that is where the dfcs land of this one landed, at least next to it. and i've had, remember, correctly sold it in the i was wouldn't mention about 6 months back. what makes the cell phone so important? well the cells, the south pole, is the place where water was covered. for example,

because of the south pole has big craters, where the sun doesn't reach the bottom. so the, the water or the, the ice measuring is monitoring the spacecraft itself and it's landing so they look how much fuel it needs for landing. how much am, how much does it raises? and this is important for, for the technical development of the future. landers, for example. but there are also some kind of other payloads that it could be interesting does. for example, sports where the light t perspective sports were onboard and also piece of art sculpture is showing the moon save this. so yeah, because why not bring arts to the white glove verified? if it's an ottoman if and then this is, this was a private mission and, and the other private mission is that i've also been launched into space. is it in increasing the looking like for the united states that these private emissions are going to be the way to explore space now?

yes, so not only the united states and also looking into private actors and private partners, but also have a space agencies for example, the european space agency as well. and as i said at hip has set up a program, especially for private companies getting into move flights and robotic emissions and rockets already powered and made by a private active for example space x. and i think the reason mostly is money again, they want to yeah, they want to make flights to space, less expensive. and also the private companies are highly interested because they see big money coming is what makes for them one more emissions planned for this year. next year, they're definitely more emissions planned. i would say until 2030. there's a big big run planned onto the moon. so so, and there's another private commission that nasa contracted with another company that built the peregrine lender, which launched earlier this year,

but which came back to our list and burnt in our atmosphere. so wasn't successful. they've got a contract for next mission. but let's see if they still trust this company to send their big over over up there. and then the big items program which is also led by nasa is going to head for that's what press pound. but they want to, um yeah, kind of advance their plans to make up the moon village and the loaner gateway. a space station in the moon orbits. and then other countries are interested, china will send and also wants to have human presence on the moon by the end of 2030. so let's see. i think that's a big rush at during the next years to come. thanks very much for that. update the address from the the science. welcome to spain, next way, firefighters are searching for people. still missing off of the deadly fire swept through to residential buildings. the blaze broke out on thursday and the eastern

coastal city a volunteer. at least 4 people walk in them. 13 more went in jed school to me is daunting to the buildings. construction materials, which together with high winds may have helped the file spread so quickly are trapped on the balconies cooling. so how the fi is spread in a matter of minutes. emergency services say it broke out in the afternoon on the 4th floor. firefights is rushed to the scene, bringing traps residents down with cranes and providing inflatable cushions to catch those who had just got to feel like they managed to get a father and the daughter out. they saved the guy that started out yet,

but the assets were hampered by the wind. a soaring temperature of the flames, which then spread to a neighboring building. flaming debris came crashing down around firefighters. as they worked to extinguish the info, i know no matter what he says, come out of it. it was pretty wild. how the facade burned? the cladding, that's probably how it spread door to the authorities say the buildings external clouding might explain the rapid spread of the flames. several people were taken to hospital with fractures bends, i'm smoke can highlight action. and earlier we spoke through journalist jorge media who was at the site of the binding building to valencia. he told us more about the investigation and the questions over the construction materials used in the buildings as well. it's still early to talk about the causes, but all the experts are in the food. it's a saying that the foot side of the material that was used in the facade that probably we obtained a very selena more material. that was

a pretty often used during the 2000 between 200-2010. the end of these buildings in the balance and the whole spain, with probably the main costs to turn these uh, pre new building up. pretty good quality building in our true and for an extra to me that in 30 minutes just destroyed 138 apartments. read it on now to the top story on the eve of the secondary diversity of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. a new report has been released saying the kremlin is making money from 2nd. temperatures is of refined ordered by the u. that's despite an event on oil and both from russia as part of it sanctions program. the douglas brussels correspondent jack patrick has the story. the oil time, because like these are still bringing russian oil into the you did, and the kremlin 1100000000 your rows last year, according to

a new report by the n g, a global witness. a legal loophole is allowing russia to sell it soil in the you, the spice of sanctions from, against impulse countries which having imposed sanctions on russian oil are able to import millions of barrels of russian crude oil. they refine them in those countries. and at the point that they've become a refined product, like fuel or diesel is no longer considered russian. and so this fuel is freely imported into the european union. they followed oil time can move months and delved into publicly available russian tax revenue. information in the research deal is mainly coming through india and turkey, but also the bulk area, which is actually inside the u when the you brought in the sanctions on refined to petroleum products. in february 2023, they did so with limited exceptions. one of those exceptions being to allow bulk area to continue to impose for find oil in order to prevent a major economic hit to the use porous nation in the statements to dw the european

commission, acknowledge the loophole. we do not prohibit the import of refined petroleum products from 3rd countries, which do not have a russian origin because of the refining process. they said the 1100000000 yours in oil sales is the equivalent of nato is recent pledge to spend on. i munition, the ukraine and member states stockpiles and on the other side advised russia arrives 1200 cruise missiles. the type it's been using to strike targets in ukraine for 2 years now. to jeremy nozzle, noise dw brussels correspondent jack product cool, fired the vegetable jack. good morning, senior report, the wad hypocritical comes to mind because the e was essentially buying russian oil at the same time a sanctioning. it just is really difficult loophole that having to face, which is that the claiming that no russian oil is coming into the european union.

but frankly, as the report shows that it is that there are millions of barrels of oil, russian oil that are being refined in the countries that are continuing to be sold in the european union. and indeed, all over the world i'd be you're paying commission with keen to add that this is part of the deal. this is how this works. one is the oil is refined, its parts of the trading system, the global trading system in oil. and that continues to happen and they also came to impress when we contacted them for a response that indeed the, the g 7 countries. most of the western countries that have input, they impose sanctions on russia, having insisted on a price cap to try and avoid and try and prevent as much profit going to the criminal as possible in order to prevent russia from continuing to wage the war against ukraine but still above this legal loophole is the you're going to do anything about closing it. it doesn't look so the main thing that they can do is try and end this delegation, football,

gary of which alive is bulgaria to continue to purchase oil. it was the set time in order to sort of prevent a real big shock in the bulgarian economy and we've been pressing. and indeed many journalists have been pressing the european commission for many months about this delegation that bulgaria has as yet that remains unchanged. what about the rest of the world dryer and other countries still buying russian oil? so yeah, they are not so much says millions of barrels of oil, all going to the united kingdom and to the united states. but this 1100000000 number for the european union, is the highest, the global witness, the who put together that reports also investigated the, the shipments that the going to the us. and so the u. k. but the e u is the highest, but that also does make sense. you was the biggest purchaser of russian oil prior to the, the full scale invasion, 2 years on, uh, since the invasion jack,

we have had packaged up the package of sanctions against russia. does the you'll think that these sanctions are working i mean that is really the big question. the will rumble is on the bones, continue to full on ukrainian cities. the studies and the impacts assessments from the european union seems to suggest that the sciences are having a significant impact on the russian economy. and they've just a nice and you package in the last few days of sanctions, especially targeting additional people that are involved in the waging of the war against ukraine. but the kremlin seems bends on continuing to, to pursue the war to continuing to drop those funds on new credit. and so the question is, how long, and how much further is your opinion willing to go with science is one potential area that they could sanction the would have a serious, serious effects is on liquid natural gas. so it's a different type of gas that remains outside of the sanctions. positive package

there is pressure on the huge thanks, and that's as well. we leave it there for the time being jack, product and brussels. thanks so much i and a quick reminder on all of the top stories we have following for you at this uh, new pan officials say a russian throne. the tag has killed 3 people. in default, city of this uh, the many pieces of russia launched. the 2 on drones and $23.00 were shut down. ukraine faces, ammunition, shortages and out overall funding. just ahead of the 2 year mark of rush shows, envision, and a private to his company has under the spacecraft on the lunar surface. it's the 1st one, lending and half a century for the united states. flight control has confirmed. they are receiving a faint signal that states for the moment, but coming up next, a program to the point where fabulous. discussing ukraine's options to us into the war against russia. and the fact that russia itself supposes to nato members that's

coming up after the break. and don't forget, you can get more news on our website that's at the dw dot com or on our social media handles, where you can find us at the top news. i'm finished by the g in abilene. i'll be back with you in about half in. uh, thanks so much for watching us. see you then by the,
