the the, this is the w use my from, but in ukraine puts a number on their military death, suffered during russia's invasion, presidents of landscape, one's ukrainian, unity faces its most difficult moment and repeats his mantra. the victory depends on western support. we'll get more from our correspondents in keith and president lucas shank of both says the people that the fellow will as go to the polls in a timely controlled election. some opposition bonnie's and denied a place on the balance. the opposition leader and exile calls for a boy called the

bank visible and welcome you pays president, florida means the landscape has revealed that's 31000 ukrainian soldiers have been killed. finding russian forces that figure is well below russian claims that us intelligence estimates. speaking at a for a mean keep, but it's the legs game says the employee and dads totaling 31000 also who did not include the 10s of thousands of 1000000000, you know, they've been killed in russian, occupies tower drake. and let's take a listen to what he had to say. 331000 ukrainian military personnel have died in this war tv gains if there is still 31000 ukrainians and which hurts us a lot on this. going to give you, but i can't tell you how many a wounded, because russia will know how many people have left the bible sales,

or do i just call and say, okay, if correspond to nick connelly told me more about the dates all cited by ukraine's president the whole bed, this really is a big deal is the 1st time we've had a number like this from presence lensky. we had heard from a top generals back in the 1st day of the world, a suspect then spoke about 9000 sets. and we're now seeing the further on this will this number has to be sorted significantly lower than the estimates we've heard from the u. s. government, they've been unnamed us sofa is of course in the new york times last year that is spoken of about $70000.00 estimated fatalities amongst the brand new nami. and there's a more about, over a 100000 on the russian side was logical, given the attack. you can see much more risky than defense. he didn't say anything about the number of casualties of the people wounded or more importantly, people who are missing in action. there is speculation. his, it could be those people who have actually died, but just haven't been recovered their bodies, i'm to recover to. they know that if there's a level of service,

it's an official number according to the landscape. it may be not a realistic number. is that what you're saying? one of the complete number, it's the same situation with civilian casualties. we have around $10000.00 civilian casualties confirmed. but that's all including people who were killed in russia by territory is what he's not accessible. human rights authors that came out with a report saying that an estimated an 8000 people. that's a conservative estimate. the civilians were killed in mario full alone. that's just based on their analysis of satellite pictures of mass graves. so i think these numbers are likes to rise easily. we're just talking about confirmed death right now. is lensky sounded confident that waste and support uh will come, especially from the us. does he have enough ground for such confidence? well he into the fact that he was expecting finally the us to agree to sending low range lessons. we've already had the okay. and from sending the scouts while we're still shot or missiles are made, a big difference is the cruise missiles have been used, protect extensive targets in crimea. for instance. now the americans may be sending

weapons that can have a $300.00 comb with a range and, and the hope would be that many words of use that as a kind of to, to send a certain powers themselves which have long been requested by the great inside my colleagues, county and somewhere else that question as a landscape light that he was hoping that has with tanks where the americans made the 1st move and then the germans follow through, often with the same would be now be the situation before you themselves and have a longer range and enable, you're going to hit targets further away. and let's to piece nick. tell us more about this spring piece summit that's the landscape mentioned. we've had the rush. i could also joy i wouldn't be too optimistic about seeing russian presents at that summit. i think it's more important. look at this as a kind of diplomatic offer by you grace global sales. the countries that aren't quite so sure difficulty. right. and as of the case was most european or north american countries. it's about saying that ukraine is open space is not in fighting for the sake of it that ukraine is protecting its very existence. that's what this

is about. there was a kind of comment from domestic way by saying apply that putting would be welcome. if he was willing to admit this, had been an awful mistake and basically apologize and pay compensation and basically give back all the occupied territory. i think the chances that are pretty low for now, but this is about ukraine engaging with the wider world and not just focusing on the kind of unusual candidates in europe of america. okay, so in the invitation of types, dw corresponded to connelly reporting from keith. the impeller was poles have closed in time the control pile of entry and local elections. long time lita, alexander lucas jenko place, states voted upholding station and in the capital meets where he confirmed his intention to run again for the president next year. that could extend his grip on the country to 36 years. thousands of all position parties were denied registration for the single day palace opponents and exile. judged folk is to blank on it, for by his that support lucas fingers. policies for granted official registration.

alexander lucas and co signs new agreements with his master flooded mapleton. the warden ukraine has seen him seek even close to ties with the kremlin, like boots in look, a shame paper trays this country is being on the siege uses, but west of plotting to cease power during the elections to do the cleaning process . this is not an easy time on that as you can see, things are called you know, here and i'm sure we can prepare for the elections and then hold them just as call them lady told me to me to please to ensure that look a shame kind of has stepped up, has cracked down on dissent. the only safe place to protest is abroad, like a neighboring left. you a and e, a dealer was right now that is supposed to go prison. this house income and the kids on the lives of go. i spoke to each marshal, colleagues, think about, i need to be asking my husband, said he,

in the office on now on the direct threats. we don't even know if the life lucas shanker has ruled, beller, roost affinity. 30 years or true opposition. parties have being dissolved only candidates who support the regime are allowed to run for office elections here have become just a vigil. the last time bella reese went to the post was in august 2020. look, a shame closer to your to 6th time in a vote, the opposition said was the shop. it triggered a wave of protests and authority to crack down. more than 35000 people were arrested in these parliamentary elections. the results. oh, so you see a full gone conclusion the i will, you know, and his health as opposed to when it's under the constraint, i will respond to the last hour i spoke to from the get ciocca,

the chief political advisor of exxon deposition. the did so you can know sky era, his expectations of the box or nothing, nothing. you a couple of try to use these selections to legitimize himself to show that the page has store and that everything is normalized that people are going to vote. but we see something different, we submitted the reparation. there are police cage, vs. every polling stations we see must have arrest separately, they taking place and the we cx trimball, the unrealistic door. now to that, the official central term commission is showing which is not true because all the voltage patients are empty. basically, for the question kate's at the task before 2025 presidential elections, you want to make sure that the 2020 protest will not repeat. he's afraid of people, he's afraid of mass on the rest. and he's statements today basically proves he's the fragility. and also those massive crackdowns on the progress of 2020 we'll. so what stage is the opposition in today?

uh right now, so a lot of channels can created, then the government, and example united transitional cabinet and cheese lead in the resistance movement inside the country and build a new sam exam. i'll be off for the trying to mobilize support for you cream, support them on the ground movement inside the country yesterday. that was impressive. the heck you heck him at talk on, but there were some screens uh uh, advertising commercial screen. so over a bill that was 2000 screens we're showing the planet center has to be able to do some people. and for 2 hours to question guthrie gene was not able to switch it off . and basically we are making this hubble dash x to show that the regime is weak and the resume is not able to control the situation and to find the lice inside newman club, dora. so when the window of opportunity opened, sleep our sight. but how much support would you say a secret australia has in the country?

i think more than the house of believers population will vote for her again. but her promise in blankets bent, it was very simple. i promised to come until you free and fair elections. so she did not fulfil her monday yet about she promised to step down immediately after it happens. um, i think many people support her activities to advocate the interest of deliveries and people that role tried. now. there are many people who joined the movement off to 2020 because they believe that so long. so most cases, the right person to leave the country about the there are no independent polls. so it's difficult to assess. but the behavior focus shrink of shows that she is very afraid of her, and all the criminal cases against her husband, against her support there's against supply. the tunnels gave herself showed that he sees the most because he's made an opponent, isn't going to be able to keep her away. he would love

to destroy it, to kidnap to ask you, did with their mind for the sandwich in 2021 by a higher plane. she would like to destroy her. but you know, she's on the repeal unit in 33. she's not easily accessible to him. so he's trying to this credit for through informational and for media. all the propaganda works against her, but they, i don't think she will stop her now. he keeps said her husband dies a later than come when you called a mote. i'm trying to break her psychologically, but i am every day with salon and she's very strong. she's very brave, and they don't single question could really manage to stall crafted for from doing what she's doing right now. the chief political adviser found out the actual care of the officer, somebody to enact satisfied the audit ticket. they'll sky, thank you very much for joining us. see you. thank you. here's a look at some of the other stories making use are always found as long as the key highway on the border with germany, devices to protest against the
