so what, what's happening there in keith? even though the situation is quite harmful, now they've been very, very regular air raid sirens over the past couple of days. and the conversations that people have over the coffee break because some restaurants have reopened supermarkets open as well. you see how much to war is integrated in a way in the data conversations, talking about whether is it possible that is going to be a nuclear attack on ukraine or asking themselves on which flow is your apartment? you think it's safe to sleep on that flow. so you realize how really this entire ongoing war, this raging now for 3 months, is taking a toll on people here mentally as everything is just so unpredictable. and as you have just seen in that report, once again, civilian infrastructure has been hit in odessa, a shopping mall, in fact, a military spokesperson there was taking an ironic line. are they saying really, is a shopping center, extremely dangerous? is it really necessary to hit that? so people are not just fed up with the s

keith is hoping for an immediate prisoner swap. what's the most likely scenario? well, if her an immediate prisoners was likely they wouldn't have fought that long. it was luckily a long time ago that they would not be able to win or to get out of there by their own a force. and it was also long clear that ukraine did not have the capacity to break through the lines and get them out of there. so the fact that they have stayed there so long and so as it looks like, or even starving in the end, or was due to the fact that they thought they would be mistreated in russia or possibly even killed. so this anxiety, this is shared by ukrainian society, is still there and we are also hearing from moscow. some signals met people in the politicians in more in russia or public figures, calling for their, for the execution or, or to, to see them in court, et cetera. so all of this is on the table, ukraine is of course hoping for a prisoner swap because that's the best thing they can hope for. but it's far from clear whether this will happen. let here, stay with us and we'll be

's mathias bowling a covering the story for us and he is in keith and has the latest is calming here that has been come for the past 24 hours. most of the rocket attacks that have been happening. key of is not a the, the russian troops are not anywhere near keith. so the only way to hit it would be via plains or rockets, or the rocket attacks will have been happening that have increased in the past 24 hours. they had not here, but mostly in the south. odessa was badly hit it early last night and, and today as well. so here in key, if it's calm but people fear, of course that something might come the next night. it's the symbolic night that a, that leads into may, 9th, the victory day by russian traditions by soviet traditions and those celebrated in russia. and the has of course, been a lot of fear around that, that put in my, to something on that day. and the president of the german parliament bell bass is visited. crenan is attending at world war 2 memorial events and give what else is on her agenda. yes, she's been a, she's been visiting the commemoration places of the places wher

in keith, the polish president has become the 1st foreign leader to address the country's parliament a show of a war time solidarity between neighbors. polish president on j. duda became the 1st foreign leader to speak to the ukrainian parliament in person since the war began. due to stress, to support for ukraine's bids to join the new and said that any territorial concessions to russia would be a blow for the entire western world. yas, that the chill, oh let. oh, i want to say clearly, but only ukraine has the right to decide its future so that there can be no negotiations and decision making behind ukraine's back. already. nothing can be decided about ukraine without ukraine. so absolutely not. this is an iron principle that they put in that ukranian president volota may zalinski has said that only a diplomatic solution will bring a definitive end to the conflict. but the government and keith has repeated it will not accept any ceasefire that would require giving up territory on the battlefield . russia's offensive to capture the don bass grinds on with sheylan. continuing along t

keith have been liberated from attacks by russians, but harkey. remember, is not exactly in the dumbasses bordering the region and in the don bass. russia has secured a lot of areas. it's cur. bombarding 23 cities, 23 towns and cities right now. and us intelligence kind of contradicts what we're hearing from british intelligence and ukrainians. and what they're saying is that it's become a stale made in the danverse and that we're likely to see a prolonged conflict there. he does his, i mean a safe reporting from levied. after weeks, thousands of civilians were stuck in the poor city of marian polo under constant bombardment. without enough food or water. ordinary ukrainians stepped in to evacuate and risking their lives as official efforts to get people out stoled he w spoke to one man. he made the hazardous journey yup. and most i understood that the city is under siege. i understood that nobody is driving there . now. i'm with my employees were there, and i just promised them i would company my friends and i were willing money to buy this bus.

he w correspondent, funny fetch our reporting from keith. thank you. now al fighting rages in dumbass, the city of hockey is firmly in ukrainian hands after russian troops were driven away. authorities are eager to restore public life and that includes getting the khaki the subway running again. but there are some obstacles to that. as our correspondent mathias bellinger has been finding out, then they came here to flee the bombs and now they don't want to leave. the people who have been living in the subway station are petitioning the government to let them stay subway stations here and harker have been serving as bomb shelters since the beginning of the war ve katerina top i and her husband have been living here since the very 1st day, yet do have a virus that he's really, i had let the out which and all this event was that i was i go home every 3 weeks, but i always need to prepare myself mentally before i can go. then i run home and take a bath, we can wash here, but the conditions are not ideal with daniel. so they're not of mine like the ceiling.

how to welcome after weeks of heavy bombardment, how keith is breathing? a sigh of relief, the ukrainian military claims to driven russian troops out of the area around the country, 2nd largest city. the shilling, according to regional authorities, has stopped the crowns president. stacy's forces still lack the means to tip the scales. in their favor. ballade mister lensky told of visiting us senate delegation, he needs more powerful weapons. republican leader, mitch mcconnell leads the u. s. senate delegation on a stroll through kiff to show their support for ukraine's war effort. it was all smiles and hand shakes as they met with president zalinski. how are you? good and regular? well her. thank you. we know each other a little that. yeah, that's zalinski made it clear that smiles and handshakes and polite small talk won't drive the russians out of ukraine. his armed forces need more long range artillery and strike aircraft to be able to hit russian forces and disrupt their supply lines. ukraine's general staff said the russians were pulling back from ca

also coming up, the ukraine says russian troops have withdrawn from the 2nd biggest, the har keith abandoning tanks and territory there, but ukraine's president warrens of a long war ahead in the eastern don bass regent. and abundantly a front wall stood god have survived to play another season against germany's best clubs. thanks to a win against cologne. we'll have all the highlight ah i'm nichol furnished. welcome to the program. nato. foreign ministers are in berlin for an informal meeting on russia. the invasion of ukraine representatives from sweden and finland are also there to discuss the 2 countries seeking membership of the north atlantic treaty organization. nato, a system of collective security currently consists of 30 nations. since the cold war, finland and sweden have maintained a position of neutrality towards nato. their change of heart comes as concerns grow over the threat from russia, marking a departure from their former stance on the military alliance. in order for any new country to join the and all other members have to agree, turkey has express reluctance at the idea

and because after all, they are salt and keith in the northern part of ukraine, but also in on hockey region, didn't succeed. even though the controls to some parts of harkey, so russia is going to sell this as a win while ukraine is trying to look at this. these are euros to the holding out for quite some time. ok, responded for reporting from p for thank you. funny. now from the russian perspective on this war in ukraine, our exalt moscow correspondent, emily sharon, is not joining me here in berlin. in the studio, emily, russia said nearly a 1000 soldiers have surrendered. what will happen to them while the reports reports yesterday, that they were the soldiers that surrendered yesterday were brought to a prison in the den, danielle peoples republic. that's one of the regions that's been for a long time now under the control of russian backed separatist separatists. the speaker of the ministry of defense in russia said that those soldiers who are injured are a feat, receiving treatment at a hospital there. in the long term though, it's unclear because as funny was saying, the kreml

i'm curious for weeks, the messaging out of keith was one of confidence and strength. but in the past days there appears to have been a shift in tone, stressing the loss of ground to the russians. what do you make of that? has the situation deteriorated? that drastically or is a calculation and keep that appearing weaker might increase the sense of urgency and berlin, brussels in washington. i think it would be too cynical to say that it was purely a tactical position that the ukrainians are taking. i think the proof is in the pudding that ukraine is, as i said, losing the upper hand, that, that the time has turned in favor of the russians in the east. and that is particularly concerning for ukraine. of course. these colds from will weapons these calls for support from the international community that are coming from ukraine. and they are hoping that it's not going to be felt on fallen on deaf ears rather that, that, you know, these places that you mentioned, the powerhouse is the brussels, the washington's a, you know, that they, they are going to step up and try and

but when asked about keith's ambition to join the you, the german foreign minister said there should be no false promises about shortcuts on the road to full membership. of course, when the family in s f is in live in western ukraine, he told me what mo we know about presidents. zalinski is claimed that ukrainian fine as a pushing back russian troops. well, these 4 villages around harkins might not seem so significant, but keep in mind that harkins is ukraine 2nd largest city. it was a very important city before the war broke out. it's been under constant bombardment by russian forces since the beginning. and what we're seeing here is in ukrainian terms, what they hope to be a mirroring of what we saw in key of the capital city, where the russian forces had almost completely surrounded the city and then were pushed out village by village until they completely retreated. now why harkey is so important there if there was a 2nd pushback of russian forces around harkey is because it's in the east, but it's not part of the ardie russian occupied territories in the east. and as zalinski ha

and everybody is bracing here for more attacks given in keith. even though of course, everybody hopes that things can be maintained in a very called way. but we do not know how the next alice are going to play out in keith as well as for the rest of this country. i'm finding thank you very much, that updated w correspondent, funny fashion in keith. as funny, as mentioned, the united nations says the law civilians to escape the besieged as of steel plot and mad at you. paul have made it to safety. they arrived in the ukrainian health city of separation, along with evacuated from the rest of mary hall is almost entirely under russian control. now, the un says a convoy of bosses carrying a total of $174.00 people arrived in desperation and sunday night. some of them described their experiences sheltering from the russian assault on the city will not spool a sort of gut to lydia. we were 42 people in one shelter they. i did have some people managed to leave by themselves. why? there were 8 children of different ages, but of them a valid point we were
