a phone call between president joe biden. vladimir putin failed to reach the break through the white house as the president bible repeated warnings of severe consequences. if russia invades ukraine, secretary of state entity, blank, and says, it's not too late to avoid conflict. a diplomatic path to resolving this crisis. a crisis created by the unprovoked massing of russian forces all around ukraine. that diplomatic path remains open. the way from moscow to show that it wants to pursue that path is simple. it should the escalate rather than escalate. and it should not only talk about seeking a diplomatic outcome, but actually work toward one al jazeera natasha butler reports now from kiev. a senior ukrainian official though has clarified the situation. he says that there's absolutely no intention on the behalf of the ukrainian government here to close ukraine's as space. he says that would be absolutely pointless,

is completely nonsense. he said, he said, of course, as i space will stay open, anything else would amount to a blockade, but it just goes to show you ah, how difficult the situation is becoming in terms of messaging for, for the ukrainian a government we saw on saturday, the president ludo me zalinski saying look, we need to stop making people panic. panic is actually fueling our enemies. he said, you know, we need a car. many people to continue life as usual. yes. the german chancellor expected here in the capitol on monday. he'll be meeting wits, zalinski they will of course, be talking about the crisis, all actual sir. this is his diplomatic push his part and trying to avert a war in europe. he has said that this is really the goal of europeans to have a virtual on their european soil, and also be talking to the ukrainian leader about ways in which germany could help

ukraine's economy, which is suffering deeply in this crisis. until once again, reiterate european support a for ukraine's territorial, a sovereignty who then travel on to moscow on tuesday for a much awaited a visit to the russian president vladimir putin. the 2 will sit down for talks and they're a 1st face to face a meeting to discuss the crisis sholtes expected to say, look, if russia were to invade or attack ukraine, the west will respond with very strong sanctions. indeed, the kremlin is dismissed us warnings of an imminent invasion as hysteria, but new satellite photos show the build up of military equipment in bail rooster russia. a joint military drill is expected to start next sunday. meanwhile, moscow has voiced its concern over decision by the organization for security and cooperation in europe to relocate from on netscape east of ukraine. several

countries are shutting the embassies and also urging their citizens to leave ukraine right away. the latest to do so, australia, the situation as you are all hearing as well. ah, ease, deteriorating, and his rating. i very dangerous style and i want to st. a very clear message on behalf of australia, a liberal democracy who believes in freedom and the sovereignty of states, not just in europe, but in our own region, was will that to the autocratic, unilateral actions of russia and to be threatening and bullying? you cried. is something that is completely and utterly unacceptable. we spoke to richard sock was a professor of rushing and european politics at the university of kent. he says there's no appetite for war in russia. and that putin is using the stand off to address launch a security concerns you can crisis is a symptom of a larger crisis, which is a mosque was concerned,

the failure of the breakdown of european security order, which it was not happy about so many, many years yeltsin wasn't happy with it and put in as constantly said, look, we really need to have a system in which we not simply face tab by enlarging later to go to the idea of russian invasion. of course, nothing can be excluded, is extremely unlikely because what on earth would russia do with trying to occupy country before 2000000 people who would put up stiff resistance? it would mean damaging russia not just were talking about sanction from hell being imposed on it. but also massive internal divisions, but my feeling is that you actually will keep these forces and keep this up for many, many months. and so the west will get exhausted and my ok my play the game as if, as i argue the game is ultimately all about diplomacy. i'm trying to get issues onto the agenda, which should have been on the agenda for most concerned many years earlier. so they

can keep this up free for months and then they can just just go back home and say, look, exercise is completed, no face lost. there is no mood and appetite for war. within russia, i've been somewhat heads of coast are talking about this, but they'll go home. no face last and it's a west which will have a lot of egg on his face as it were for having talked by an imminent invasion, even during the begging olympics, which by any standard is extremely unlikely. opposition. parties intern is yes. so they'll unite against president chi sired alto. he announced sweeping changes to the judiciary war. protests are taking place from the capitol up to side, gave himself the power to dismiss this. miss judges, ah, the supreme judicial council was replaced under a new decree. it was one of the last institutions independent to hold the presidency. science made several moves to consolidate palace and checking the government and suspending parliament in july. and as you have open reports now from
