morning, the nightingale of india, the legend to sing a lump sum, and jessica has died at the age of 92. ah, no, you s reinforcements have arrived in poland and just the past hour as nato bolts as its eastern flank in response to russia's military build up at the border with ukraine. there really is no end in sight to this standoff between russia and the west of ukraine. all sides positioning their forces with fears of a russian invasion. moscow though, still insists, doesn't intend to invade ukraine. presidency. kids, as chances of a diplomatic solution are higher than military escalation. and senior defense officials in the u. s. have been briefing politicians on ukraine. that's where we'll start. alan fish a hassle. this is the american assessment. they think that vladimir putin has on the borders of ukraine,

70 percent of the forces that he needs. if he wants to launch an invasion, that they think that nothing is going to happen, at least in the next couple of weeks. there's a couple of reasons for that. one is the beijing olympics. vladimir putin doesn't want to take the spotlight away from china. and the 2nd thing is he's waiting for the ground to get much harder because of the winter frost. so heavy machinery like tanks can move across the ground. no. according to mark, milly checked george, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he thinks that if the russians decide to invade, they could take the capital, heave within 72 hours. and he's talking about massive numbers of refugees moving probably towards poland and it'll country in the 1st hours of any offensive taking place. he's talking about quite significant numbers of deaths. he seeing that there could be 50000 ukrainians, killed somewhere in the region of 25000 ukranian troops. 10000 russians killed. and of course, the americans immediately if there was anything to go across the border from the

russian side, put sanctions in place that would hit the russian economy. what are the russians saying to this? it's all nonsense, complete nonsense. it's war mongering by the americans. they're saying, what have we said to you? the united states was about to invade the u. k, with a 130000 people that could be killed in the 1st hours and said we've got it from intelligence sources, but didn't tell you what those sources are. a number of people have also pointed to the fact that, of course, the united states for a very long time said sir, dan hides weapons of mass destruction. and in the end there were no weapons of mass destruction. the mart really is already said this time on the ukrainian border. it fuels different. joe biden continues to monitor the situation this weekend is up in delaware. but it's clear that lawmakers have been given a much clearer picture of the american assessment of what could happen. but the russians are saying it's nonsense and i shall strat center in easton, ukraine. he says the president remains in a difficult position. president zalinski has been of course,

very appreciative to his nato partners and european countries for, for example, the supply of additional weapons to nato countries in eastern europe. he's been very appreciative of the kind of training that ukrainian forces have received over the years by an nato partners. but he is also been certainly in the last few days and publicly criticized some western countries. notably the u. s. for what he describes is potentially foaming up fermenting, sorry, and hysteria, and causing problems for ukraine. notably, for example, i'm the ukranian economy. a bear in mind that prison zalinski came to power. he won that presidential election in 2019 with a promise. and that promise was to return crimea to ukraine, to end the war in dumbass. and he has failed on both of those fronts. and so there

are increasing voices. analysts saying that the president, ukrainian president is increasingly concerned that if indeed there wasn't an invasion, he will be getting a lot more pressure from the west to implement his side of the mince to agreement and agreement that he says is far too much weighted in russia's favor, so it's very apparent that as i say, despite his appreciative remarks for this kind of support, he is in a very tricky place, both internationally and with respect to the kind of promises that he made to his domestic audience. also much the focus on this tension between russia and ukraine's been on energy supplies and the disruption many walk and cause that is how that bill, how made reports are global food supplies could also be effected under the winter snow lies ukraine's black earth, known here as chair knows them, it's highly fertile, and it's what makes this country

a major player in global agriculture markets. here at agro complex, a 2 hour drive from give about $18000.00 tons of corn, wheat, rice, sawyer, barley and sunflower are produced every year. almost 2000000 of his homework, you know, what? because we are in a state of war. we had to switch suppliers and we used to rely on russia for spare parts, fertilizer and diesel. we also faced problems because of the occupation of don bass and crimea. so if there is a full scale invasion, it will be a disaster for every one or what we can't focus on this now thought about 70 percent of each year's harvest head to the black sea port of odessa and from there to consumers around the world. ukraine is one of the major exporters of grain in the world. actually this farm alone exports about 70 percent of its

production. so any disruption here. good to have a huge impact on global distribution and supply. last year, ukraine produce about a 100000000 tons of grain. only 25 percent went to the local market. the rest made its way to asia, the middle east and africa. ukraine's wheat accounts for half of all wheat consumed in lebanon, 43 percent in libya, and 22 percent in yemen. and ukrainian barley represents nearly a 100 percent of saudi arabia's barley imports and about 50 per cent of egypt needs . some of these countries are economically battered and are ready, suffer food shortages phrases went up due to the corona virus pandemic. now, the threat of war means that the staples may soon cost even more the last 3 weeks.

more and more concern is that sa, mom, logistic companies, international companies, they afraid to go to ukraine in ah, black supports because they are selling deadline. death. look the race. a literary where else waiting there. war to start. and if you go there, so we can lose our facilities, etc, etc. over the past 20 years, ukrainian harvest boosted the country's role as a global breadbasket. much of the focus is on energy supplies. while talk of an imminent war is already biting at the country's economy. but the threat to ukraine's grain experts could pose at great risk to global food security. hood abdul hamid al jazeera, she told me at a blast ukraine on to other news now. and protesters and police don't usually see i who i but in the netherlands right now. they have got one thing in common. they are
