their lives and millions have been displaced since the start of the conflict on the front lines. russia contin as much as the territory east of the geneva river, but a ukrainian counter offensive in the autumn reclaimed sways of land in the north and the south, including the key city of his son. now the focuses on the city of backlit, which presents lansky says, has been reduced to ruins by the russian offensive, cha strapped for his in cave and take a look at the key moments from the past year. on february, the 24th 2022 was the 1st wave of russian troops crossed the border. the russian missiles struck it fast became clear that vladimir putin insistence that he would not invade ukraine. that being ally, it was a multi pronged attack. russian forces crossed from better rouge and advanced towards keith. there was a similar push in the ne oh and in the east to watch you crane. second city car cave. at the same time, mainly pro russia separatist forces attacked towns in ukraine, controlled areas of dornan's. good guns, ukrainian president, not yet in his trademark military fatigues called for help till november. i had a conversation with you as president joe biden. the u. s. is starting to gather international support. paul, planning and brave ukrainian defense quickly scaffold putin's immediate plans to take give to the russian army columns was too bogged down and smashed water. narrow that a whole wolf the enemy pretty calculated their communications in logistic needs and their supply warehouses were across the border. this meant that after 2 days, there were stopped without fuel, ammunition, and food, and they lost the effective management of their troops. on the 1st of april, ukraine announced it had recaptured the entire region around cave dead civilians. some with their hands bound behind their backs were discovered seemingly with a had been shot. russia was accused of war crimes, the russian army which ukrainian intelligence says had planned on taking control of keeping 3 days itself at a story. a humiliating defeat. in may, after months of intense fighting in the polt city of mary pulled, the last remaining ukrainian fighters surrendered as hostile steel plot. but ukraine by now was receiving what would become tens of billions of dollars worth of military aid. autumn counter offensive liberated tens of thousands of square kilometers, including the city of care of sol, purchased the cur preparations for the counter offensive started in april. by june, when we had received western weapons, we were better able to hit their supply lines, command centers, and weapons, and fuel depos. or we could also attack the reserved troops as they approached the front line. i q score one of them. but since december ukrainian gaines have slow to a virtual standstill, russia has made small advances in easton, don bass, using what ukrainian forces say is wave of the wave of infantry soldiers and mercenaries from the wagner group. some of the heaviest fighting continues around the town of buck moot. where many, the estimated 5000 civilians who remain there, refused to be evacuated. officials here and keep on their western allies are convinced that russia is about to launch what they describe as a spring offensive. more sophisticated weaponry, such as tanks, is on its way from nato countries, but with no end in sight to the fighting. many are asking just how long ukraine's allies can fund this war. despite their lead is saying, it is a fight for democracy. they cannot lose cha, stratford, i'll da 0, heave correspondence are following this story across the region. the moment it will speak with some of the jobs in moscow. first, let's bring in zane bas robbie. in kiva zane presence lensky has spoken today. what did he have to say? well as what a difference a year can make zalinski a year ago, giving speeches, recorded selfie style on his phone from underground bunkers today arousing speech 15 minutes long, 14 minutes longer than the 1st time he addressed the country as the invasion began a year ago. and it is much more strong, robust battle tested war, hard and presidents that we see making the speech today. getting emotional at time saying that almost everyone has lost at least one contact in their phones who will not pick up the phone and answer the text message. how are you so emotional at times, but a stirring speech meant to project strength for what he predicts will be an ongoing conflict ahead. he also defined what he thinks victory is all ukrainians back in ukraine. that means territories being returned from the dunbar, p o w coming home, he said, and everyone living outside the country as a refugee returning to ukraine, that is stronger, that that is peaceful, but that piece comes with the return of the don boss, return of crimea, and those are red lines for ukraine, reiterating that in his speech. you know, this is a very different leader from when the war began. they did, it is not a leader that is unsure or seemingly caught a little bit off guard. this is a leader that has managed to in his own words, lead his country to stand against the 2nd army of the world, largely because he also has the weight of the western world and their militaries at his back. here's some of his speech. now. these doors he did on this day a year ago from this same place around 7 o'clock in the morning, i addressed you with a brief statement lasting only 67 seconds, 2 of the most important things then and now resonated, and then the fact that russia started a full scale war against us, and that we are strong, the law. we are ready for anything. we will defeat every one because we are ukraine . this is how it started on february 24th, 2020 to the longest day of our lives. the most difficult day in our recent history that we woke up early and haven't slept since we didn't raise the white flag. but we started defending the blue yellow flag and saying that china has released its own 12 point proposal to end the conflict in ukraine. foreign talks between thought the from at wang ye and russian president vladimir putin. we're just going to take a closer look at that proposal. now. we'll beijing is cert calling for an end to western sanctions on russia and is urged moscow and keith to hold peace talks. the plan calls for the establishment of humanitarian corridors for civilians, as well as steps to ensure grain can be safely exported from the region. and also warns against the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict, as well as a tax on nuclear power plants was anal still that with us, sir, how is ukraine? reacting to this proposal then was zalinski and his foreign ministry have both commented on this being a positive development that china's involvement signals a positive step towards international diplomacy to eventually resolve this. but at the same time, people here say that, you know, there are no definitive in this. there are no specifics. and ukraine has already for some time now. set out what it's red lines are anything less than the return of all ukranian territories in the east. everywhere and the dunbar as well as premier, is simply not going to suffice. ukrainian say that as much as they support the war and at the time of the invasion, a little less than half of the people in the country did not support the war. but now support for the war effort is 95 percent. so the country's leaders know in their people know that this is a country that will stay the course and they will work towards peace. but they are redefining what piece with russia looks like. it will not come from negotiated dialogue and giving into any of russia's demands. it will come from all of ukraine's territories as far as the ukrainian government. and the people are concerned back in ukrainian hands saying was, robbie, thank you for saying with this a solid job. it is in moscow now. some are doing know yet what the kremlin view is on the china's proposal. but just before this a couple of days ago, we heard from the chinese top diplomat to one year who was in moscow, they did not discuss the specifics of the plan because it was going to be unveiled today on the anniversary. but we've heard a cautious welcome from the russian side, which says, from the foreign ministry, seeing that they look forward to this plan and look forward to working with china. but the caveats being that as this plan comes into place, both sides remain miles apart on what their worship of peace is. we've heard from the deputy a chairman of russian security council dmitri method of and if i can just give you a quote of his statement on the anniversary where he says, this cannot be allowed to happen. that is why so important to achieve all the goals of the special military operation to push back the borders of threats to our country as far as possible, even if it is the borders of poland, to destroy new, not to them completely. so russia is doubling down on its stunt it in the, in the year you heard from president vladimir putin, his foreign ministry, and all of the advisors that the rest and attempts to break the russian economy to isolate russia defeated military of it, all of its power has failed and it will continue to go with its special military operation as it likes to call it until it achieves what it calls victory on a song on the battlefield itself. but what more can you tell us about russian advances in the east? in particular, what russia has been fortifying its positions and taking more and more territory, inch by inch in the ukrainian east territories that it annexed last year. and don yeske and lou hoskins preacher and her son, today's development comes from the city of bus moved in the donia, the region where the tip of the spear so to speak is the contracting group walk, nor we just seen as mercenaries by ukrainians and, and their allies and they say that they have been able to take more villages in their engine closer towards back what it is worth noting that is not a strategic town, but it is going to be a symbolic victory if and when they take it. and that is something that be seen in the last few weeks that their advances have become more, more aligned with the russian artillery attacks, et cetera. and in the last few days, we've heard from wagner complaining about the lack of ammunition and being bogged down by military iraq to see something that in the last 24 hours seems to have been resolved between them and the russian ministry of defense live in moscow. for sullivan sharpen, thank you. you're not the nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on russia to withdraw from ukraine. the u. s. ukraine on the e. you wanted a strong show of unity against russia on anniversary of the invasion. but some key nations abstained that she had return, see no reports. this non binding resolution was based on a fundamental principle of the un charter. it is against international law for one member state to invade another ukraine and the you wanted as many member states as possible to vote in favor of their drove a new from recent history that anything more strongly worded would lose support. and the strategy paid off with $141.00, if the $193.00 members of the un general assembly voting in favor 7 voting against . and 32 abstaining. the message is clear. it doesn't matter what russia thrice and how it attempts to undermine international order. and the coalition in support of ukraine started tauriel integrity. it fails. these $141.00 countries reiterated a clear demand to russia withdraw. withdraw immediately, completely and unconditionally, from ukraine's internationally recognized territory. as expected, several key non aligned countries, abstained, including china, south africa, and india. they argued that a resolution that sought to contribute to a lasting peace in the region should focus on achieving a cease for immediate peace talks and addressing the geo political concerns that lead to the conflict and the 1st place chow hot since the court on king boosting or even enlarging military blocks will only undermine regional security and drive peace further away. the final settlement allow crane crisis hinges on abandoning the cold war mentality in giving direction to and respecting the reasonable security concerns of all countries. while we take note of the stated objectives of today's resolution, given its inherent limitations in reaching our desired goal of securing lasting peace, we are constrained to abstain. and even though several non aligned countries like my jury and in an easier did vote for the resolution, they register their reservations criticizing it for not promoting storks and conflict resolution ukraine. the e u and the u. s. can once again say that a majority of nations, after you and general assembly house voted against the russian invasion, even though finding unity on more punitive actions against moscow has proved more elusive schubert, nancy al jazeera united nations general assembly also stressed the need for independent investigations

may. the marina slow boat yoke works with the rights organization called truth hounds. that's helping prosecutors to build a case. it's collated, evidence amused, open source material, satellite

you might never be proved. some investigators say he's back in russia, it's clear that building legal cases and prosecuting alleged war crimes is a challenge. but for some ukrainians, pursuing justice is at least one way of honoring the was many victims. natasha butler al jazeera tedney heave ukraine. let's go back to keith now, where a moment of silence has just been held in a dance square for the
