you know, of thought 7, the busha were being threatened by a big war and a date of military invasion has been scheduled once again. it is not for the 1st time of war is being conducted systematically against us on all fronts. on the military front, the military contingent, housing, a police around the board of alice. i'm on the diplomatic front. they're trying to deprive us of the right to decide foreign policy on our own. it came after a visit by the german child, lead ukraine, the latest western, either on a diplomatic mission to diffuse tensions with russia, and diverted new or europe. after more than 2 hours of talks with lensky shops promise to keep more german financial aid and issued a warning to moscow. is my hand kiff the i'm up ukraine, 70 and territorial integrity, non negotiable germany. we expect russia to take this step to the escalate. the current tension was done for germany. it is clear that further military aggression

against ukraine would have serious political, economic, and geostrategic contents. it's russia, i guess you wanting to lensky said ukraine must join nato because the country security was inseparable from europe. my ally asked us for our future alliances. our ambitions, you know very well that this is our wish, but apart from that, there is a war in the east. we believe that nato membership will ensure our security lensky with for the car or fi, your cranes position, or nato off the common voter in the day made by ukraine's ambassador to london. that suggested that ukraine could be flexible when it comes to its ambition to join the military alliance. comin, ambassador late to retracted. we are not a member of neutral right now. and so the word war, we are ready for many concessions. and that's what we are doing in our conversations with russians, but it has nothing to do with natal with which,

which is enshrined in constitution at digital is moscow. doesn't want ukraine in nato and says that the west has ignored it. security demands, but in a possible sign of hope. russia's foreign minister has advised president vladimir putin to continue with the dialogue. but as usual, this was our possibilities and exhausted, of course, security talks can continue endlessly, but at this stage, i would propose to continue and increase them pressure. all right, a move that will be welcomed by shall. so meet the kremlin leader on tuesday, and what some say could be a last chance for diplomacy. natasha butler al jazeera keith. not the u. s. is temporarily relocating. it's embassy from kia to the western ukrainian city of live live now to washington. and our correspondent tracking that end of the story for us hydro, castro, heidi,

this administration in washington does seem at some level to be sending up, mixed messages, unpack it for us, or what are they actually say? right there saying, you know, that has not been determined by us intelligence, whether prudent has made the decision to invade ukraine, however, and evasion is still eminent. so how do you make sense of that? well, according to a pentagon spokesman, who has his troops at the ready, the essentially surrounding ukraine on 3 sides, they are in position from the air from the ground, from the sea to invade ukraine. in various scenarios, various options. however, what's missing is pollutants decision in order for those troops to move in, which again, is something that is still undetermined according to the u. s. side. and to emphasize how precarious the situation is, the white house that we are now in the window. when an invasion could happen at any time, and that explains why the state department decided to temporary,

close the u. s. embassy in here, because it's some 60 kilometers away from the russian border. there will be still a core group of us diplomats that remain in ukraine, but they're moving west further away from the russian border and closer to poland. and of course, in poland, there are some 6000 us troops standing by the president, who and says, excusing. president biden says, he will not be ordering us troops into ukraine to actively engage with russian soldiers. however, those us troops in poland are standing. by the case of refugees and the white house has warned that a war could result in widespread human suffering. peter, there is also, we understand a conversation has been going on in the past 12 hours or so between washington and london or johnson, the u. k. prime minister and joe biden, are they on precisely the same page as to the timing of what they think might happen and the way to react to that?

yeah, the white house is not sharing many details of that call, but what we do know is that the 2 men discussed ukraine. of course, they just discuss confirming, supporting ukraine in its sovereignty, in its territorial in being a sovereign over his territory. and they talked about also shoring up nato defensive positioning in the eastern flank. we also know that us defense secretary is heading to brussels in the coming days. and there he will be meeting with his nato allies. all of this happening while the white house says there is still a diplomatic off ramp that's available in the u. s. as actively engaging and seeking that diplomatic solution. heidi, thank you very much, heidi joe castro. they're talking to live out of washington. well, the un secretary general into any good terrorists spoke to the ukranian and the russian foreign ministers. he has diplomatic editor, james, based on those talks. until now the united nations has been pretty much on the

sidelines of this crisis. the un secretary general knows that russia is a permanent member of the un security council with veto power, bought. the secretary general has now had a phone conversation with the russian foreign minister and with the ukrainian foreign minister and is issued this strong statement. you will have no stone unturned in the search for a peaceful solution. abandoning diplomacy for confrontation is not stepped over the line. it is a vice over the cliff in shorts. my appeal is these. do not fail the cause of peace. the secretary general was speaking after having lunch with the security council secretary or nor can conflict be avoided. i believe. so. the lunch meeting was hosted in the russian mission to the united nations. russia just happens this month to be the president of the council. other ambassadors who were there, were reluctant to say much about what was discussed. forget discussion. it really

was recent days here in the corridors of the united nations. have been very strange . you'll find some diplomats who tell you they believed that war is imminent. albion invasion within days, and yet there are others who say that i think there will be a conflict. they think that president putin, who's always use the element of surprise, is going to surprise the world this time by doing nothing. james base reporting there. well, stepping away from the international diplomacy communities living on the front line, our growing increasingly concerned out as it is, charles stratford has more now from body silica in eastern ukraine. a couple of 100 meters down that hill is russia. now this area has remained quiet over the last 8 years of this conflict. there's been no shilling. there's been no fighting. there's been no destruction of people's homes and businesses. but that does not

mean that the lives of people in this village has not been deeply affected by the conflict. they used to be able to go and visit friends and family in russia freely . they used to be able to go to the cemetery, which is in russia. they used to be able to trade and go shopping was 3 years ago that all changed. in 2019 roles of barbed wire were laid along the border. took almost 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union and a war before a boundary between the 2 states appeared. elaina, mom, you tova, runs the village shop, describes life before the war as a golden time. well, that's what your longer should. we have relatives living there right behind this tree. there is a village and their children used to come to school here, visited each other as friends. we married each other, spend our holidays together, and now every scene is close to us. outside the half empty school is the statue of

a historian who wrote about the importance of unity among cossacks who populated this region for centuries. the village is quiet and tonia misery server sits in the sun with her friends. shuddered them. my parents are buried in the cemetery and i can't visit their graves anymore. our friends on the other side can't come here to visit us. we miss them. everyone is full of regret, and we know they think the same were far away from politics. but now our freedoms enjoys, are gone. there are many villages like this one along the crane russian border, where there is no sense of fate or the endless blaming the other for the killing in these conflicts. for the longer this crisis goes on, the more concerns grow amongst people here that the community they have lived in for generations may never be the same, shall stafford al jazeera, but a seeker, eastern ukraine. moving on to our other top stories for you,

the canadian prime minister is invoking never before used emergency powers to and protests that a paralyzed life in the canadian capital also. and block some border crossings to the united states were talking about the so called freedom convoy. it began as a demonstration against vaccine mandates. as alan fisher now reports, the main bridge linking canada to the u. s. is open again, police enforcing a court order ended the 60 blockade by protest. there's demanding an end to corporate restrictions. they made several arrests and set up barricades to stop it happening again. the protest hit supply chains on both sides of the border. but outside candidates, parliament and or to a protest, hers are refusing to leave even as the local government eases covered restrictions . prime minister just intruder has had enough invoking special emergency measures to confront the protesters. this is not a peaceful protest at the borders in different parts of the country. the blockades

are harming our economy and endangering public safety. 1988 emergencies act allows the federal government to insure security during national emergencies. this has never been used. a similar move was last employed in 1970, the prime minister then to those father pierre. the scope of these measures will be time limited, geographically targeted as well as reasonable and proportioned. the so called freedom convoy protest began because canadian truckers opposed a vaccine or quarantine mandate for cross border drivers. but it soon became a rallying point for people opposing the trudeau government. and now it spawns copy cut through test globally. in belgium, demonstrators, there were joined by others from france, holland, and germany, to demand a hold to cover restrictions by europe's governments. the messages leave us alone.

we are peaceful. we will leave you alone. we are not accepting any japs any more. and it israel, a convoy of trucks drove the main highway from tel aviv to jerusalem, heading for the parliament building. we all support canada and support the truckers con v that went up 2 or 2 and we do hear the same critics of accused the so called freedom convoys of having little popular support. but authorities are aware of the disruption. even small protest can cause and like canada, i know examining what actions that are available to keep roads, bridges, and supply lines open. alan fisher al jazeera washington. ok, let's talk now to jonathan k. he's a journalist and a senior editor at colette magazine. he joins us from toronto, jonathan, welcome to al jazeera. why is the prime minister using this legislation now white and to use it a week ago or 2 weeks ago?

that's not clear. and in fact, i think that's one of the questions people have to answer. i think his supporters were looking for maybe what they would consider more decisive action. it's ottawa has already been the side of this protest for several weeks now. on the other hand, people who do support the con boy are going to be angry that he's been, but he's invoking this at all. so it's, it's a little bit of a no win situation for the prime minister. will be accused of dragging his feet by some and for being tyrannical by others. we have had a leak in the past 24 hours. some we jonathan talking about where the truck has a getting the funding from is the reality here that may be the political literacy and also has to be deep into this idea that there's this, that a falling into line with the extremism that exists south of the border in the united states and it's desperate, it's big, it's vocal,

it's apparently well funded and that might be a bigger problem. so mr. crudo, look there's, there's no, there's no question that some of the money for this protest movement is coming from other countries. that said, i think there's some skepticism about these claims because one of the oldest tricks in the book in canada, when you're looking for political action, is to claim that others, especially americans, and especially right when americans are behind some form of agitation and canada at any given time, there's absolutely some truth to that in terms of the money flows, money flows across borders rather easily. though i do think that a lot of supporters of the con boy and maybe even a lot of dissenters, canadians have heard this claim. maybe once too often about perhaps any movement that was opposed by the liberal government. did the police in the early days of this protest at the police in your opinion, call this wrong? respectfully, were they to permissive, where they to quote to canadian about this?

so i think be, i think the police had every reason to expect that this might take a day or 2 days or 3 days for it to end. i mean that is that certainly the traditional in politics. that mean canadian city is like toronto, ottawa smaller, but still they often see we can protest. what was unusual about this one is the 1st monday and tuesday came and the protesters were still there. that is new, especially on the right side of the spectrum, canada. so i not sure you can blame the police that much. it's a relatively small city. it's not a huge police force. they had every reason to expect these people would be gone after the weekend. and when they didn't go, they were also faced the fact they had brought in these massive trucks. in order to get rid of a masses truck, let alone dozens or hundreds of them from downtown. you need specialized tow trucks to your viewers. no. and the local tow truck companies were extremely reluctant to

act because a lot of these truckers are their customers. so it's made the government at several levels look somewhat impotence in the face of what actually by international standards, a very small protest at most. i think marketing of 8000 people. i'm sure people looking for the shoring countries where 8000 people protesting the capital is just that happens on any given weekend. so it is unusual by making standards. ok. we are out of time, which i apologize. jonathan, thank you for talking to us there from canada. good to get your thoughts on this, this compelling story that this dominating the news agenda there in canada. thank you so much. thank you. still to come here on this program. oh, the palestinian teenager killed by is really forces of the latest demonstration against the demolition of a home and is too dangerous from anyhow criminal gangs of forcing people from their homes in honduras.
