and the attack on the suburb of salty cup ukrainian president followed him as a lensky cold. it's a cynical strike on the civic that said from me and the new steam you're off to dates. don't go away. up next doc film look said, i'll people across the world on coping with decreasing water supply, gas office for me on the team. munich, 15 years ago, the international gathering of peace and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrors, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters on the israeli team and immediately killed.

lines in the south and east, the military stands its ground against the russian advance, presidents, lensky vows a fight to the end. the countries already paid a high price of the half a year of war. all than 5000 ukrainian civilians are dead and nearly 8000 injured. we look back at how rush or on least a wife of death and destruction, sending shock waves around the world. also ahead drought hit europe, good faith, 3 more months of extreme dry italy's longest river. the pole is on the highest level of a large loss as to farmers or in the billions of euros and angola both in a contentious election. the left wing bowling bodies struggles to keep its long time grip on power made claims its squandered the african nations massive oil wealth. ah, i'm painful and welcome. it's exactly 6 months since russia launched its full invasion of ukraine. it shattered the longstanding pace in europe and has led to civilian casualties in the 10s of thousands today. ukraine, his martini anniversary of its independence from the soviet union. but it finds itself locked in a war of attrition. the russian ministry

in 2014 president lensky demands that it should be restored to ukraine. a goal that appeared almost illusory until mysterious explosions at russian base is in crimea. the most recent hit was an ammunition depot. according to moscow, this was an act of sabotage. here speaks of a master stroke by ukrainian armed forces. earlier there had been heavy detonations at the saki air base. russian accounts implied an accident, however, satellite images show several destroyed russian fighter. so again, let me go straight to our military expert, go staff. what is happening here? and what do you think the impact of these strikes deep in crimea is likely to be? well is, of course are hard to, to establish a clear picture what has happened and tell them with certainty, but the attack on saki airbase, which was quite a remarkable thing. we saw on the satellite pictures, you saw this big craters. so that means an underground explosion. you also saw the explosion of saki arrows that very dark out a lot of dirt in her, in the flames that concurs with the picture of an under

it was lensky. it would have profited so much by famines in africa, by insurgency, an uprising revolution in north african countries. if, if food crisis had really broken out, you know, movies come to subsidize read, for example, would have been so lensky. you got more media attention. she craves more and more so it's kind of ironic to use diplomacy. chief joseph burrell has said that double standards are a common practice and foreign policy. the admission came as the official was questioned on western support for ukraine. we are often criticized for having double standards, but international politics is largely the administration of double standards. we do not face all problems with the same criteria, and some of the blocks member states appear to be following the same practice. this, as estonia applies to close its borders to russian citizens with a shang, getting visas issued by tollen. the european commission has also said the issue of tourist visas for russians is now on their agenda a. here's

your current president lensky denied. his country's involvement in the killing of daddy are doing up the daughter of an also nationalist intellectual. allied with president vladimir putin. to lensky said, the cobble that killed, do, you know, was not ukraine's responsibility. russia and ukraine traded accusations over who is endangering this up. what is your nuclear plot? russia called un security council meeting to discuss the dangerous. there are fears that the damaged reactive could leak radiation across the region. you and urged both sides to stop any fighting around the power plant on them. your friend's flag is flying high over new york city to day and a show of solidarity. new wheels met eric adams phrased the country's brazilians on the day that celebrates 31st year 31 years since the battle nice and left. the so did you. oh, of so far ukraine has managed to hold off the kremlin 6 months efforts to take over the country. the w william bluecross takes a look back and how the will at how the will started. and some o

thousands of people have been killed and millions floss forced to flee. president volota me as a lensky has told the united nations the world depends on ukrainian sovereignty. to raise a po, reports from key if where residents are remembering the human cost of the war and ordering the lives lost. but am i speaking with father and son walking to pay tribute to those killed in the war? both of them were injured in the fight against russia. master tenant, entangle, says he is getting ready to go back to the front. once he has recovered, i thought so far, this is not a celebration with this is memory. celebration will be after the victory. when every one returns home alive and fallen, we have many losses. now. it's independence day ukraine. but there are no celebrations this year because of the war. it may have been 31 years of independence from soviet rule, but the fight for freedom people say, is more alive than ever. in this past 6 months, thousands of people have been killed and injured. millions have been displaced. this is a memorial slide to remember those who have been killed in thi

and in that speech lensky accused him of quote, working for russia. it is simply disgusting when former leaders have powerful states with european values worked for russia, which is fighting against these values. so when it comes to all of the aid from though, as soon as he is happy to take it, however, he's being increasingly critical of those countries that are helping him out. mister lensky is not happy about the status of his funding. i believe from the e u. we've seen that before, but what's the latest update here? yeah, that's the raisal and he's also speaking out about that. and he's claiming that there's about a 1000000000 euros and funding which are being held up by the e. u. now, notably in his statement on it, he refused to say which country was responsible. however, his office has spoken out and said that they believe that it is in germany. here's what's going to say about that. the media 1000000000 years for crane a currently suspended in such an artificial delay of macro financial assistance. so it is either a crime or mistake and it's d

but the lensky has a clear message to the aggressor. we won't talk until you leave. i'm nickel, really him, berlin, and this is the day. ah, yes, i'm very grateful for these negotiations. i'm very grateful for the support that we have remained and will continue to remain on the side of our ukrainian friends. at the same time, she's going to, i have to underline that there is no trust in russia. we deliberated on the possibilities of evolving the positive atmosphere, created by the system, will feel into lasting peace. all about was with you in this we know we see the constant fighting from proximal side is 5. they have to will it, we from all whatever, for, and also on the day fears of another chernobyl as fighting flares up around europe's largest nuclear power. plant nearly 30 equipment and foot. so now should be withdrawn from the plant. further deployment of forces or equipment to the sides must be avoided. the area needs to be put on. and we must sell, as he sees every potential damage, he's up. what is suicide? it's been almost half a year since russia invaded

gather and public affairs of fresh russian aspects and video message president, follow them as a lensky has vowed. his country will fight until the act and germany and canada have signed a hydrogen energy supply deal with shipments from canada. expected to stop in 3 years. johnston, sholtes, and prime minister just intruders. say it'll help fight climate change and help. and germany's long term dependence on russian gas and that's it from me and the new steam for now, i'll have an update for you. which of you don't go away though? up next business news with chris co by looking at how the current drop conditions in china affect the country's economy. i'm gab offers in berlin. i spoke with you 50 years ago. the intervention gathering of peace and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrors, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one.

you could say here it and president lensky is addressed to the nation. he said that the day that russia invaded the country ukraine was reborn, and thou will only be an end to this war. when there is victory, and i think this pretty much reflects the moods in society in general, the mood with many ukrainians. when i went to have a coffee this morning, i work as a cafe, were collecting money for soldiers at the front line, and they were absolutely convinced that they will be victorious. so yes, it has strengthened the national identity and there is not a lot of 1st signs of so called war fatigue here. all corresponded, jumped should, it shows their reporting from keith. thank you for the time now to have a look at some of the other news about russia's born ukraine that are making headlines today. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski denied his country's involvement in the killing of daria. digging up the daughter of an ultra nationalist intellectual allied with president vladimir putin. lensky said the car bomb that killed duke, and that was not ukraine'

a lot of me said lensky hosted a virtual summit of dozens of wolves. that is over now coming up 6 months into the war, the toll it's taking on russia's economy, janelle dumas on has a close look in d. w. business news that's coming up. after short break, you're watching date of, of the news live from berlin or more headlines for you in 45 minutes time. i'm anthony. how, thanks to a company called sh her. i'm still that. i think that's hard and in the end is a me, you are not a lot us to you and more we will send you back her. are you familiar with this.

repeated shelling with irish was speaking during talks with ukraine's president blog, amiens' de lensky, and the this is leader recipe add on in the western ukrainian city of levies. the leaders also disgust exchanging prisoners of war and increase of ukrainian grain exports, millions of tons of which are still stuck in black sea palms. who cherish a repeated his coals for a safe zone around separation. military equipment and personnel should be withdrawn from the plant. further, the climate of forces or equipment to the sides must be avoided. the area needs to be didn't really that ice. and we must tell it as he sees every potential damage who's up what he's yeah, is suicide. but corresponded, but he has building on is in levine and covering these talks for us. but he has a lot of concerns. stark warnings there from blue terrace, but have any steps been taken to protect the power plant that well, what steps could be taken? the power plant is occupied by the ration. so you crank and not take any steps to ensure the safety. that is, it's not ukraine selling the power plant, which the rus

so that means the lensky has condemned comments by the former german chance that get had shorda, who suggest that russia once negotiation to the solutions around the situation for the war in ukraine. shorda is refusing to cut ties with the washing leader and is facing an investigation by his own party. it was assumed style, diplomatic mission to the criminal and vladimir putin spokesman confirmed that former german chancellor, gerhard schroeder, metro russian president on the moscow visit last week. in an interview with german media, schroeder said that put in once a negotiated solution to the war in ukraine, and that the recent grain deal could be slowly expanded into a ceasefire. damages ukraine's president followed him as a lensky made clear what he thought of the former chancellor's diplomatic efforts. moves old rust, or it is simply disgusting when former leaders of major states, with european values worked for russia, which is at war against these values. he yeah, cowboys property since bonnie, ac rushes using these people as messengers, them to say that the terrorist state all

so when they visited this landscape was, of course, the jewels lensky mccall. that wasn't real for debt, but the people do much better is, for example, president ariana in turkey, doesn't say much for that's free diplomacy. you managed to, to, to open some channels to export grain for our show for ukraine. so you manage things and that's not the case for the other. are for the european heads of state that tried to gain some prominence by going to keith. did it catch your eye? the words are president lensky as well, saying that quote, the war is not the time for vanity and lloyd statements. and yet you've got the recent vogue photo session that he appeared in at. what do you make of that? well, it clearly, mits somehow, but divorce title was not a good idea. that's what he says. now, come on, stop the time for magazines now is the time for you know, being tough and wearing a uniform and be in the trenches. yes. maybe shouldn't have made this interview with folk who just to follow on what you said earlier. look, the ties right now between key of and berlin. how d

so lensky promised to in the civil war. it clearly hasn't done so. last week, amnesty international issue, the report all but confirm and ukraine's war crimes. ukrainian forces have put civilians in harms way by stablish in bases and operating weapon systems in populated residential areas. including in schools and hospitals. such tactics, violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians as they turn civilian objects into military targets. a $22.00 out of $20000000.00 schools visited amnesty international research is either found soldiers using the premises or found evidence of car until prime military activity, including the presence of military fatigues, discarded munitions, army, russian packets and military vehicles. but such a revelation from a prominent n g o has been met with anger in the west and ukraine international. amnesty international unfortunately tries to amnesty to terrorist state and shift the responsibility from the aggressive to the victim. and if someone makes the report in which the victim and the aggressor are alleg

we also saw president the lensky commemorating falling ukrainian soldiers yesterday. roman. how much support as the lansky have 6 miles into this world? history of it still has a lot of support and he was criticized or at the beginning of the war of or not i may be taking more precautions and, and, and a criticizing the western leaders, the united states, the okay. for warning of this war he, he, he was at that time his opinion was that maybe this will not happen. but on general, he's still very respected for staying and keith in those 1st days and weeks. and according to the reasons morrison poles we saw yesterday, ah, he still enjoys support of about 90 percent, which is very, extremely high. and a people like the way he handles this is the way he stays in care of his videos. his messages here he has his made a very, very impressive video on the day of independence, or shot just a few meters from here where i'm standing now on the my don, appealing to ukrainians or to fight on to continue. and he so said, well, ukrainians would never surrender, and this is, this is also th

i'm so, as the lensky huston, peep, sort of the momentum happening. he has to sort of the attention to the western partners that this is really relevant that this is an important role that needs to continue learning still happen. and what's going to take time of you, are you talking about victory for the ukrainians? from the ukrainian perspective, it is clear that if they want to dislodge the russians, that is not going to be easy. the russians are building i reinforcements in the areas that they already occupy. there are several sort of layers where they're digging in. they're kind of learning how to be done, effective defensive force. so it's going to be more difficult for the ukrainians to carry on effective counter offensive on so far they haven't really mounted one of grade significance. i think it was that they might require a sort of a better control of the space on better ability to deter, sort of artillery from other russians. so i think that they are planning on their thinking much more in the longer term. whereas i think russians, i thinkin

so is this the start of the counter offensive that lensky has been signaling for a month earlier? did you put that question to military analyst? justin crump? he's ceo of the strategic advisory firm, civil line in the united kingdom. yeah, the situation is still confused. battlefields tend to be but it certainly looked like a much more significant defensive operation. so then we can say it does seem to fall in line with what the president wanted. and of course there was a, as we discussed before in the program, a timeline. ukraine of wanting to achieve something in kirsten before any referendum could be held by ross, which is plan september. so ukraine's had this this deadline of doing something in, in the region by september. so it does seem to all fall in line with that. and certainly the scale of what we're seeing is much larger than this. ukraine, i think, is all of us he made great use of the western weapon donations, substitute the high mileage, and the miller s rocket systems to disrupt the russians we've. we've seen that going on, intensified in the region over the last fe

believe me, the lensky, however, is skeptical. you should thanks to the un in partnership with turkey today. we've had the 1st ship leave with grain, but it's still not much sure of that. and then we will continue the more in total, the consequences of this was terrible, low grains, not only for ukraine, but for the whole world. but there is a delicate fil lensky says many more ships will be needed. turkey says, as many as 3 ships will be able to go through the inspections daily. well, those great shipments are likely to be on the agenda when turkish peasant magic type meets his russian. count of all, let me put in this week is the w correspondent, dorian jones, and stumble well that you have to realize that these countries have mutual and conflicting interest. i forgot to call them, as well as a major energy agreement. this green deal is seen as a top. i come on the agenda for president one. he's put a procedure on the line as a vindication of maintaining close ties with inside washing counsel to me. because the 2nd meeting withi

russian occupied and annexed in 2014 berlin's weapons, pledge came as ukrainian president vladimir lensky said he would do everything necessary re take control of the region. so it was just one of the leaders to played support. canadian prime minister justin trudeau was also a man when the russian regime blames sanctions for the food crisis around the world . they're engaging in disinformation. we need to continue fighting russian dis information. that's why canada will create a dedicated team to help increase our capacity to monitor and detect russian and other state sponsored different dis information. the international community also has to engage actively in the long term reconstruction of ukraine. rearing in mind the size of the challenge, we need to accelerate the work that we started to lou randall in support of this process like capacity as president of the g 7. and together with the european commission, i will host an international high level expert conference for reconstruction in berlin and october. we will never recognize the illegal annexation of crimea, and so as to poll by

off the ongoing russian invasion. billions pledge came as ukrainian president for letting me as to lensky, hosted a virtual summit of thousands of world leaders to rally support for the return of the crime in pulling peninsula, which russia occupied, and annexed in 2014 billions weapons. pledge came as the cranium president said he would do everything necessary to re take control of the bridge. and so it was just one of the latest to played support. canadian prime minister justin trudeau was also among them when russia regime blames sanctions for the food crisis. around the world, they're engaging in dis, information. we need to continue fighting russian dis information. that's why canada will create a dedicated team to help increase our capacity to monitor and detect russian and other state sponsored different dis information. the international community also has to engage actively in the long term reconstruction of ukraine. rearing in mind the size of the challenge, we need to accelerate the work that we started a new run in support of this process, like capacity as president of the g 7

and i think that this is the message that lensky is getting, and that's why he's also panic. of course, the west will try at this moment to reassure him that they're all behind him. but if, but if he doesn't stop this story, he's going to pay for that in a, in a very bad way. live from greece. this are as always, thank you for your time and your thoughts from our greek boss or and diplomatic lead us chris and fabulous at your dispos, hungary and prime minister victor or above has issued a call for conservatives in europe on the united states to unite in the fight against the liberal global order. his speech came as he addressed a conservative political action conference known as c pack in texas. now the bad is that the border with the south we have seen what kind of future the global is rolling cloth has to offer. but we have a different future in mind. the global is, can all go to house last cross live to our, to contributor rachel marston for more on the story. hi, rachel. yet no nonsense. clarion call really there by the hungarian leader. tickets through it. and how they,

is lensky has denied keith was involved, but pro russian separate her se ukraine was behind the blast, and rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's or her over said if the investigation's trail led to ukraine, it would amount to state terrorism skidmore now from the w as yury, russia hurry joined us from rigor. is there any new information yury on who might be behind the attack? while at the moment, sir, tara is difficult to say who is really behind the debt of darya dugan. but as there are many ru morrison speculations, depending on which political camp they come from, are to support us of russia so called special military duration, ukraine blame tea for while critics over the kremlin suspect thrush, us own intelligence service, or the pro ration separatists from don boss ah, margarita c manion as a hat of russia state finance to broadcast a r t. blame to crane and cold for attacks against keys. the are arguably most well known theologian and former priest andre cry of supposed to thrash us intelligence service murder to daria jogan. fearing that she might have made too much compe

a is meeting with ukraine to present vitamins lensky in cave. this comes before the delegation travels to these operation nuclear power plant. fighting near europe's largest nuclear facility has drawn international concern about a potential disaster. the i. e. a team has secured permission to inspect the russian controlled site that isabel has more from keith. while the 14 member delegation is already here in key, it's being led by the director of the a file off the who earlier today met with president lead me to fill in the sky. there's been a lot of. 1 concerns about how they're going to be traveling all the way to somebody to it's a long drive. it's about an 8 hour drive. and there is, there's been some accusations from the ukrainian government saying that shelling was ongoing around the area where the a team should be able to make it all the way to what do you fit in that meeting with president lensky? he assured them that he was going to try to guarantee all the safety possible during that drive. he also said that he was looking forward, th

i level politicians including president lensky, save occupations from one. busy of the world's leading human rights organizations, ukrainian troops purposely use civilians as human shields are fake and propagandist . amnesty international amnesty, international sham, fortunately tries to amnesty the terrorist state and shift the responsibility from the aggressive to the victim. and if someone makes a report in which the victim and the aggressor, or allegedly the same in something, if some data about the victim is analyzed and what the aggressive was doing, the same time is ignored. this cannot be tolerated. you back up, or would you go, mr. put in this behavior by amnesty international is not about finding and conveying the truth to the world. it is about creating a false balance between the criminal and the victim. so please stop engaging in this creation of a false reality where every one is guilty of something. instead, engage in reporting the systemic large scale truth about what today's russia is. our thing such a strong reaction for members of the ukra

forces are preparing to pre empt the ukrainian counter offensive, a counter offensive precedence. lensky had announced some weeks ago, and we have been seeing preparations of this counter offensive over the past or weeks when am ukrainian forces have attacked ammunition depots and a key infrastructure behind the russian front line in order to cut their supply lines. but at the same time, russia has been deploying from the eastern region amounts of troops, big amount of troops add to the south, and president to lensky has stated in the end, this knightly address. this is in the detention to add to take the town, his home town, creevy re a town which is not on the coast rather than more inside in land. so that might be an indication that another offensive of the russian is or is about to come. but ukrainian forces stayed, they have the situation under control and ask the people not to panic, because she ok and kia many thinks the ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has condemned comments by former german chancellor. gerhard schroeder suggesting that russia wants to negotiate a solution t
