w correspondent, nick connelly in keith. nick. so we've been hearing that ukraine's been having some success in the northeast as well. what can you tell us about that? well that's indeed the surprise. everyone was looking at the south. it had a song where we've been expecting this ukraine encounter offensive for months. lots of announcements coming from top figures here and key about that. and it never really materializing until recently, but now the much bigger vault seems to be in your heart give in the east northeast of the country, especially in information black out here. so ukrainian figures staying surprisingly quiet about everything. so most information is coming from residence on the ground, even sometimes from russian pro russian telegram channels. but it does seem like ukraine's military has made some extraordinary gains in one place, moving more than 20 touch kilometers in space a few days now set to take coupons, which is the big logistics help for the region, hoping to basically and circle a huge number of russian tr

w correspondent, nick connelly in keith. nick. so we've been hearing that ukraine's been having some success in the northeast. but more can you tell us well, indeed, in just the last hour that be report see frame media that ukraine forcing are taking the strategic town of coupons. it's not fully confirmed yet, but we have seen pictures and social media of rush of ukrainian troops rather and from the town hall there that is a long way away from the previous positions from the previous towns that ukraine taken in recent days, dozens of kilometers to really does seem like ukraine forces are making very fast progress. this again, situation where in dumbass, russia has been taking a couple of 100 meters at best every couple of days. so a real contrast and a sense that the cranes have caught the russians of god. all the talk in previous weeks months was about the south about had a song, and maybe that was a distraction tactic to get rushed to focus its efforts. there it seems like lots the troops in this part of ukraine on the russian s

and we can join d, w, corresponded nick connelly and the ukranian capital. welcome nick, and we have some western military analysts saying that russian forces of abandon the hawk. if region is, is ukraine ready to declare victory in its ne well, i think that definitely is the mood here and keith as the last few days, bessie being kind of shocked amazement at the speed of this. i think even lots of kind of a and less close to the government here couldn't quite imagine this happening in this time frame. there are some russian troops in the can far eastern part of high kibbler as we understand still hanging on. but the most part, this is now all firmly under ukrainian control. it seemed like the russians didn't put up much a fight, but just dumped everything had dumped. lots of high tech kit, even with instruction manuals left, didn't even bother to destroy it, let alone take it with them and ran for the russian border. and put to remember though, that had give as low and along with this region is directly on the border with russia. so it should russia collect m

oh, okay, let's pick this up with the w correspondent, nick connelly in k. welcome, nick. and we had that hockey's man describing these attacks on power grids as rushes revenge for recent ukrainian successes. how disruptive are they were certainly yesterday it was a pretty dramatic picture, especially from forgive there on a day where the people that expected to be able to kind of enjoy the fact they were now a lot further away from those russian troops and russian artillery strikes but yes, we saw the metro going down, we saw most the city plunged into darkness and lots of basic services falling away in right now as though we have heard that it has been possible to restore electricity to large areas. the bigger problem though is the thermal heating plots right now it's already kind of chilly. it's a cold autumn. but as we get into winter lots people are going to be without the kind of that heating supplies that they used to. and these, these plots have been talked by russia all through this war, and they're gonna take a long time to restore you caught redirect heating fro

our correspondent nick connelly joins us now from the ukrainian capital key of nick if russia annex is the occupied regions of ukraine as expected. what impact could that have on the people living there could residence be forced to fight for russia, for example, was entirely that is definitely the fear among many ukrainians living under russian occupation that they will not be asked, that they will simply be put in front of a confed to complete it, they are now russian citizens in if they haven't gone to look for a russian passport themselves. haven't done anything to get that passport and that they will be sent off to fight. we're definitely seeing that the tactic from the russian government seems to be, to focus on our places further away from the big russian cities from moscow and st . petersburg places where they think if the locals are unhappy about guns fight, they'll be less in the way a blow back for the government. and we're definitely seeing lots people trying to get out. although there are now reports that it's basically impossible to leave the capstone region, definitely fo

w correspondent, nick connelly in kiya. i asked him whether the postpone of the plant annexation referendum is assigned that ukrainian forces are making progress on retaking his home. i think it definitely is. we didn't really ever have a concrete date, but we did understand they wants to hold this referendum, which really reminds us of what russia versus playbook was in crime me back in 2014, around kind of the middle of this month of september. i don't think they are going to give up on trying to do that, but certainly for now, that is not because it's just to right now in his own seemingly hourly shilling of rush positions that by ukraine. lots of video on social media. it's very difficult to verify of attacks on russian western suppose, but also on the infrastructure on the bridges across the new pro river. i think it's important to remember that this is a very localized offensive. this is just about the west bank of the pro river. the small section of territory that rush controls the easy for you to isolate and cut off

all our correspondent nick connelly, m ukrainian capital told me the news had been received in a rather muted fashion. was weird. it sounds, this is not the top story in the ukrainian media today and definitely put on not talking about it anything as much as internationally, people here talking about the use of cluster munitions against civilians in the south ukraine, other kind of humanitarian stories. i think that has 2 reasons. on the one hand this has already been factored in. there's been lots of talk about referendums since russia started this most recent invasion in february. the dates were moved several times where people kind of knew this was coming. i was just a matter of when it was coming in the end the, there was only a few weeks between the announcement of these votes and them being carried out. but basically people had kind of prepared themselves for this. and they don't want to, especially the politicians here, they don't want to give it too much significance. this is not something that ukraine recognizes. they called on their assistance to boycott these events and to, y

dw corresponded nick connelly is in heart. he's not far from indian, and he joins us now at nic investigators. there are faced with a gruesome task. how much do we know at this point? we're still very, very early on, and this, if you look at what happened, ne, kia, where we saw those mass graves with a butcher paint. it was a question of weeks and months before they got to the bottom of things for they got final numbers, but yes, in recent hours we've heard from authorities there the previous estimate of the number of people killed and buried. there was about $400.00. we've now heard talk a former 50 original forgive or area official, spoke of 99 percent of people they had so far uncovered. having signs of a violent death, we don't always know what violent death means. some of them, as you mentioned, they're both. there are, there are signs of torture. others could have been victims of the shelling of the fighting. that is, you saw in the 1st few weeks of the war when the russian forces came in there. but definitely there's th

okay, dw correspondent, nick connelly in key reporting for us. and a reminder of our top story we're following for you. britain has entered a period of formal morning for queen elizabeth hundreds gathered in london for a memorial service. her son making his 1st address as king charles the 3rd echoed a pledge, she made a lifelong service to her people. he said to be officially proclaimed king and a ceremony in london. coming up next, doc film looks at a deadly pandemic a century ago. the spanish flu best after the bacon break the tune in it for the next show as well. if you want to see charles, the 3rd officially proclaimed king, we'll be carrying that life. i'm the spicer things to watch the landscape, a reflection of a turbulent history. the cities a mosaic of different people and languages e ron's mountains reveal unparalleled.

w correspondent, nick connelly. i asked him about the strategic gains ukrainian troops have made in the northeast. this is truly a big deal. i think this is the biggest shift in territory held that we've seen for months now. if you remember in recent times, we've seen the russians of the ukrainians for that matter, advancing a couple of 100 meters a day may be a few kilometers a week. and this is a matter of dozens of clumps in the space of a few days. and to top all of that in a part of the country that the russians just weren't expecting, we'd handle that expectation built up about the ukranian can't fence from the south . nick had a son, and in the end it ended up being inserted different part of the country where the russian forces were very poorly supplied. where lots of the russian forces were actually people mobilized from low huntingdon, yet often against their will. with very little in the way of equipment and military training, we've seen those attempts now by the russian leadership to explain this away is

hassan and zappa, isha uh, becoming our citizens at forever. joining me now is our corresponded nick connelly in kia nick vladimir putin. there says citizens in the occupied territories that he's just annexed to, are becoming russian citizens forever. and he wants ukraine to now sit down and negotiate. how can we expect him to react? i think people here had price this in they saw this coming question was just the timing when this is going to happen. and we've heard time and time again took you great officials calling the referendums that lead to today's events. going in a freak show, calling a propaganda show, basically for ukraine, nothing has changed. they point the fact that not even russia's closest allies, country to serbia and co star, are recognizing this vote. and they will continue to try and force russia back on the battlefield. some optimistic can use reports coming from done yet reason where you can force seem to have russian, the russian army on the run. and they also point to how to keep, if you remember, just a few weeks ago that counter offensive in her give region. russia had

w correspondent, nick connelly. nick is following the latest development for us from har keith, and i asked him about the situation in that city right now. well, as you can probably see behind me, there is very little of her kids to be seen at pretty early evening hour because lots of people i, it's often feels and sense like the majority you have left and the ones who are remaining are sticking tool. the recommendations, keeping that curtains firmly shut and basically keeping off the streets critic, storage density of more than a 1000000 off, and occasionally only to see some cause passing a distance. a few very rapid estrogens, but it's a real contrast to the times before this war started. i was here in mid february, when the u. s. government said that the war was imminent and people who just couldn't get their heads around it. they couldn't believe that this was on the cards, and this was a thriving city with also tens of thousands of foreign students coming here from around the world who also took their cue from

earlier i spoke to our correspondent nick connelly. he is following developments for us in her keith. and i asked him about the situation in that city, or you can't see much of such, if behind me it's about 10 p. m local time. and there's not a light on anywhere here in the downtown. some of that is because people have left in large numbers, but for the most part, people are still living in that 1st mode of war when it was all about trying to prevent, make it more difficult for us to find targets, keeping light, to a minimum, hiding behind curtains and basically leaving the streets as early as possible. it's quite kind of shocking being here. i was lost here in april, back then there was still a terrify in the city and you could hear kind of couldn't go more than half an hour without hearing it. that's not gone. but still you don't really have the feeling. the people here kind of believe that this kind of calm is here to stay. they had a false false kind of hope early in the some of that things were getting better and then things got a

i asked the del, used nick connelly in hoc, if, if the exchange was a fair deal would definitely there's been a lot of criticism on the russian side that russia just hasn't got enough people out of this. that this is basically weighing the kind of prisons the ukraine had to give up to valuing them to haile. and that basically this is a deal on ukraine's terms, may be one that was carried out to gain some kind of favor for russia with turkish prison. edwin and the saudis, who are also it behind the mediation in this whole process. but definitely this is something that is not, wasn't expected here came, is a big surprise. that is normally the way with these exchanges. if they work out, no one really outside of the process knows that can happen until it has happened. but certainly lots of happiness, lots of kind of happy social media posts in ukraine. the sense that this was something that ukraine's come out with a lot of successes and basically everything it wanted. what about the timing of this that did it have something to do with ukraine being in a better position to negotiate? consider

nick, nick connelly and keith well, the cranes military success is coming. the west continues to boost its supply of weapons, but there are alternative ways of supporting the war effort. the don't involve conventional weapons, dw mathias bullying. i met a group of people hacking shot for shop, bought drones to fight the russians. a normal car can carry several of them and stay safely behind the front line. the small and easy to transport. but this box doesn't contain a piece of sophisticated military tech. it's a simple drone that could be bought in any electronics shop around the world. here in ukraine, they have become an important tool in the world. we use these consumer drones because they have good cameras and good technical specifications. the only thing we do is remove some of the limitations from the software. drones like these often have limits on their speed, altitude, arrange. sometimes their systems also block them from places like airports. ukrainian programmers hacked the software to remove these limits and send them into enemy territory. it's

the w nick connelly is in cave. he told me he talked me through some of the ukrainian response to russia's military mobilization. they're all on social media. there is a lot of interest and kind of surprised at the lack of protests in russia, if you go beyond that northern caucasus reason, what region where most of the purchase have been. people asking, why would russians leave their country? why would they waits your days? at border points to cross if they could maybe gotten the streets and change on the home. so definitely kind of lot of critical reactions there. as for the experts in the military kind of high ranks here in here. well, there is worried longer term that russia will have even a greater number of boots on the ground. that is surely the case. but there's a lot of question and kind of concerned that this actually might probably, will take a lot longer than the russians are hoping that actually you'll only really be felt by early next year after the winter season. where basically it's not expected that

johnny has now from her case in northeastern ukraine, is our corresponded nick connelly. nick, why is this announced? now? i think this is a symptom of russian weakness. this ukrainian canter offensive really took everyone by surprise, especially in moscow in terms of its scope and its speed. and it's now some kind of desperate attempt to, 1st of all, fixing the contextual gains that russia has made since the 24th february at the beginning of this war to show the domestic audience that there is some point to of this. it's also an attempt to maybe get to have some things to negotiate about to have some kind of joke is up their sleeve to then offer up here when it, when or if a country from attic kind of resolution does come about. but it's also about the internal workings of russia state bureaucracy by calling these bits of ukraine russia by saying this is a war between ukraine and russia that would allow russia to call up men between age of 18 and 60, to fight. it would allow russia to force soldiers who so far, refused to come and serve here in ukraine to do so. and we've

town in the house on region that had been held by russia since early on in the wall as brigand nick connelly, n date of new cars on it in cave. nick, what's the latest on your crank count? her offensive in the south. becca, reporting on this story is very, very difficult. we've had her countless ukraine officials coming and telling us that they needed quietly. businesses, the press and the population here in ukraine to basically not demand much no data from them until they achieve their goals. but what we can tell from people who still on the ground locals who stayed on the rush occupation from pro russian bloggers who sometimes go bit further than the rush of his line. this is definitely an intensification of the ukrainian campaign or france, whereas previously it had sonya his shooting mainly at night. now it's all day long . we've seen reports of attacks on russian weapons depos on logistics hubs, on the bridges across from her center. so the new pro river, because you have to remember here, this space here, a russian outpost on the western bank, the deeper river, those russian troops are

if region d, w corresponded a nick connelly went there and sent us this report. russia is here to day. that was the slogan. just a matter of weeks ago, hearing coupons, as russian officials handed out passports in the end, the russian flag came down faster than any one could have imagined. but the russian army hasn't gone far. in fact, you can hear its artillery every few minutes. just a few kilometers away, even before the shilling stops. great, prosecutors of fine coming. what remains of this police station, where russian troops had their base looking for evidence of potential war crimes love, which i thought to look this up with what i, it's a right now we're collecting evidence, brought the more law, some of the things we're looking for can be lost over time that i'm with them go, or that i'm worried that case, but we're looking for dna traces the should fingerprints similar to that and also documents model. and let me show you the thought that the russian departure was so hasty investigator tells us, many of the soldiers left everything behind, even their passports. that's on the

as always, our corresponded nick connelly. they're in t. russia's war on ukraine has contributed to soaring gas prices in europe and handed energy companies record profits. today, european union energy ministers of agreed to introduce new windfall taxes on those earnings. in a meeting in a brussels, each member states agree to impose extra levies on power producers. european companies will have to have to return a share of their excess profits. skyrocketing energy costs have contributed to inflation, which has reached a record high of 10 percent across the euro's on and we got some more breaking news coming in. doraville has learned that a coup attempt is underway in burkina faso. a blast and gunfire were reported near the presidential palace stay. tv went off air briefly following the reported blasts, roads in the capital walk to go or being controlled by troops. this comes after the military seas power in a qu last january d, w. a gallon fuller is, is symbol airport. she was on route to the burkina faso capital. wanted to go

and for the latest on ukraine were joined now by d. w's, nick connelly in keith. and nick, this sounds very much like a route by the ukrainians, but can they hold on to the territory they're recapturing? well, so far in this war, the ukraine forces have done a lot more defending than attacking, and they've shown that they can hold those russian forces back are basically all the advances we've seen by russian forces in recent months have been at a kind of pace of a few 100 meters a day at most few kilometers a week. and now they've done the total opposite. they've really made gains of dozens of kilometers in the space of a few days. seems like they worked out that there was a weak point in russia's kind of forces along ukraine's front lines in the south. and in dawn by the east, they were more in the way of professional russian soldiers here. and there had give most of the forces, there were people who been basically ganged in to fighting for russia. these people from huntington, it's often without military training and with worse equipment. and it seems like ukrain

nick connelly joins us now from keith. nick, both the ukrainians and the russians are claiming success on the battlefield. how difficult is it to get a clear picture of what's going on there? it is exceedingly difficult to fact. check any of these claims. and as you heard in the report, that is pretty much a media blackout. here from the ukraine government. we've heard top ukraine officials in presence lensky saying that ukraine's army needs quiet now needs basically the media and grants such to basically back off and not demand much the way details. and so weirdly enough, the ukraine media is for the most part, quoting russian blog as russian military blog, as russian or other sources. sometimes it gets social media, looking at gio tags on video, to try work out the geography of all this. but it does seem that russia is on the back foot and that after months and weeks are of expecting that conference in the south now had a song which is indeed happening. the biggest surprise has been that counter offensive. nick had keith

our correspondence nick connelly joins us now from keith. hello, nick. how significant are these reasons? gains or ukraine? this is a huge deal. this war has moved a little in the last few months am and if any i, the side was making progress, it was a matter of hundreds of meters, maybe a few kilometers per week in the space, just a few days ukraine has taken back. it now seems about 3000 square kilometers. moved those russian positions back in some places up to 50 kilometers. and it seems like the russians were running from those ukrainian units in total dis, disarray and they've abandoned huge amounts of technology terms of drones, other kind of technical systems tanks. so looks things the cranes can use, but also lots of technology that the ukraine can now deal with me more easily because they have access to the base stations, the tech that the kind of handbooks as it were. so this is really a very messy retreat. however much the authorities, moscow trying to sell this as an ordered strategic kind of realignment. this is the same store. we've heard fr

earlier i asked d dot e correspondent, nick connelly and hi keith, how credible these allegations might be? i think definitely matches things we've been hearing on the ground from locals who've just come out of those 6 months of occupation. i think there's still a lot of analysis and of kind of uncovering to do so far as we understand it. the ukranian authorities are mainly focusing on the bigger towns, even smaller villages. we were in a small village near the russian border, where locals were telling us about sellers in abandoned houses where people that were of interest to the russian authorities. maybe men are fighting age or people with family connections to those fighting in the ukraine army were taken for torture. one man told us he was shot at that sir. they was beaten up on a regular basis. so i think there is still a lot more to come there. and if you think back to the region around kia, where you had those, an awful crimes against civilians in butcher, in it appeared, it took weeks for all the bodies to be found for all the stories be collected. this is going to be a long pro
