separatists and ukrainian forces. and as the international standoff continues, prospects for peace in the region are looking even more fragile. or abdul, hamid reports now from a deep cup in the winter see the landscape, but the frontline of this conflict seems frozen in time. the ukrainian army is entrenched just a few kilometers north of done, yet the stronghold of rushing back separatist. the enemy is not far away. i found it all one phone with me. so as they can, they hear us too. ok. the army has moved into what is left of the industrial area on the outskirts of at the fca. the conflict also seems to be frozen in time. neither side making gains since the war broke out in 2014. few soldiers believed that the large scale russian invasion is imminent,

even if they remain on alert. i shop a aqua sir said door to them. i think this was all a move to the stabilize the situation inside the country was been going on for 8 years now, but we trained, we have modern weapons and the hell from nato was arriving. but we feel the support and we are ready to fight. and just don't q gunshots from the other side in clear violation of deceased by agreement, which international monitors say is regularly breached by both sides. but even of the conflict has been at their state made for several years now. life has never really fully recovered in the towns and villages along the contact line. people here feeling that their lives have also been put on hold. somehow. the population of ad v fca is a 3rd smaller than before. the war started alena yohina,

and yet in the us they love sky among the very few who never left their hometown. beneath the giggles in the tool of the conflict is apparent. their story was the reflection of the frontline in some way i am all in as ukrainian and then as i'm a close relative support to separatist im gonna stick after another sonya and they turned their back on us you. they have their own vision about what's happening and they say we are not sees some even call to me an enemy and the full meaning of the word and yelling i moved here from siberia when the soviet union still existed. sarah, yeah, my pleasure. my relatives are all, were russia, and when the war started, they told me i had to return with you, but i have my house and family here. many of them mine the military. so for them, i betrayed my legions to russia. people here have learned to live, to the rhythm of the front line, but the devastating effect of this long sluggish war will impact their lives. many

say for several generations to come with at the law me the al jazeera at v fca in eastern ukraine. lloyd's prime minister has told out, there are the t doesn't think russian president vladimir putin will invade ukraine . he spoke to our diplomat again, james bass at the united nations in new york. it's in his head, and i cannot read his mind. but i choose to say no, because i think the options, other than military interventions should be available to modern europe. we have a toolbox in europe that should be able to deal with these kind of issues, provide security to countries next to other countries without using the military option, which i believe is not an answer to the challenge. as you know, there is so much speculation. now, will there be a full invasion? will he just take the dumbass? is he going to use as own profile cortez? is that going to be a puppet political figure? are they going to be renewed cyber attacks?

how does nato calibrate it's response to so many different possibilities at this stage? well, i, you know, i think nate, those voice has to be clear, our, our kind of collective defense, reassurances, concerns nato, nato members. but we cannot be indifferent if there is military force being used to cross borders against states in the, in europe, in 2022. that is unacceptable. so i am also very clear, you know, that if, if military means on the massive scale or military means that all is used to cross border and pressure all the countries, we should be really clear about that. it's not acceptable, it will have consequences. and that should be state to kelly. i have experience now that the united states talking to russia has been very inclusive with european partners. it's very united natal not very united, your atlantic voice on these key principles. but on that basis,

i still believe that the political track provides us with opportunities to find solution reassurances. and that's also up to now press and put in to demonstrate that he can be at the table seeking solutions that can be constructive. not only for him, but also for his neighbors. and he can watch the full interview with the norwegian prime minister eunice gusta. on top 12 missouri at 430 gmc on saturday, january the 29th rallies being held and became offensive capital to show support for the soldiers behind a military coup. ah, hundreds of people celebrated industry to what good to go on tuesday. the military says it took power because of the government's failure to contain a tax on groups, the united nations and the us of holding for the immediate relief of deposed president rockmart. go to some amendment because more from the capital we're going to get there was

a routing people were really excited and then on board with military and i think that it's still the feeling right now, but there's a lot of questions we haven't really heard from the military base monday, since they put out that that general statement on the broadcaster, i think people are wondering what next steps, who are they willing to work with? what are their plans? are they, you know, are they willing to work with civil society? which political groups are they going to work with? and then i think there are big questions as well. in terms of the security vacuum. you know, they think that they can secure the country better than the president was doing. but everyone is wondering how they're going to do that. some people are wondering if it's will create an opportunity to oppertunity for these arm groups to launch an attack to sort of say, you know, just because you're doing this doesn't mean you're more stable. so i think there's a lot of questions right now about how they're going to secure the country and who they're going to work with moving forward. cornwall is case is all going up in pakistan and that's prompted officials in the north western city of the shower to impose a so called

the crypto currency as legal tender along with the currency that have been used for some time in the country, which is the us dollar, as you can see, one of the cash points behind me could chiva, which you can change bit coins into dollars. but this tuesday, the international monetary fund has said, has recommended that the contract you stop doing that, that they stop using bitcoin as one of the legal currencies in the country. the reason for that, they say that it could impact the financial system and institutions that it could also carry a risk for consumers in the country because big coin goes up. but it also goes down . this is a pretty volatile crypto currency. now that can be a problem for salvador, and that's because the country is quite in depth, and it's been looking for a loan from the, from the international monetary fund. and one of the things that the international monetary fund has been worried about, given that loan has been the use of bitcoin in the country. so now it seems,

there's 2 ways that president naive bu kelly can go. he can even stop using it unlikely, possibly get that help from the international monetary fund, or he can double down on big coin, which is actually planning to do at the moment. he's planning a big coin city in which bitcoin is mind. he's also planning so called volcano bonds, which are about a volcano that can be mind. he's the energy can be used to my bitcoin, and he's aiming to sell those, those a link to help with bitcoin as well. so a sort of decision point is approaching for this country or salvador to really go with big coin these potentially lucrative bullets, but also volatile crypto currency or perhaps to go with the help from the international monetary fund. ah,
