a date of military invasion has been scheduled once again. it is not for the 1st time, a war is being conducted systematically against us on all fronts. on the military front, the military contingency has increased around our borders. allison on the diplomatic front, they are trying to deprive us of the right to decide foreign policy on our own. it came after a visit by the german chancellor to ukraine, the latest western leader on a diplomatic mission to decrease tensions with russia and to 30 war europe. after more than 2 hours of talks with zalinski, schultz promised keith more german financial aid and issued a warning to moscow. is my hand tiff, the i'mma ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity, a non negotiable for germany. finally, we therefore expect russia to take their steps to de escalate the current tensions as one was planned for germany. it is clear that further military aggression

against ukraine would have serious political, economic, and geostrategic consequences. russia shackles, yawning, zalinski said ukraine must join nato because the country security was inseparable from europe's. my would your earliest, as for our future alliances are 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. zelinski was forced to clarify your crane's position on nato after come inside her in the day made by ukraine's ambassador to london for suggested that ukraine could be flexible when he comes to his ambitions to join the military alliance commentary ambassador later retracted. we are not a member of nato right now and 3 world war we are ready for many concessions. and that's what we're doing in our conversations was rations, but it has nothing to do with nato wizard, which is in trying to catch a fusion 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 versus lucy al 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 all meet the kremlin leader on tuesday in was some say could be a last chance for diplomacy. natasha butler al jazeera keith but also to barry has more now on those diplomatic signals from moscow. we've seen a slightly different tone from the kremlin at this is it because the meeting that we saw take place between survey lab rav and vladimir putin broadcast on state tv.

showed a very direct exchange between the 2 men vladimir putin asked survey lover of what are your proposals in response to the united states government and their rebuttal about the security guarantees this country is looking for. and serbia lover of said that although the united states and nato have responded negatively to the as security guarantees that russians are looking for. there is still some merit to what they've proposed. lab. rob said that there has been some ideas put forth by the americans that warrants further dialogue. i think this is the 1st time we're hearing of any concrete answers from the russians about how they see the upcoming weeks unfolding. the russian foreign minister saying that they do have some proposals that are worth looking at. and vladimir putin asked a survey, love, rob, do you think there's a chance to have an agreement about our security concerns and survey lover of responded by saying there's always a chance. i think this is love. rob's

a moment to really as signal to the world that there is still very much a window for diplomacy and that all hope is not loss. vladimir putin also asked about the russian response, and the circle of rob said that the russian officials have prepared a 10 page response to the americans. and we are yet to find out when they will respond officially and a hand that response over to the us. meanwhile, the u. s. is temporarily closing its embassy and kia van relocating it for the west near poland. that's because of fears of an imminent russian invasion for the white house as a diplomatic resolution is still possible. i'll cast a report from washington dc the u. s. says it decided to close its embassy and key if due to russia's military escalation on a plane in border. and invasion, as we have said, could begin at any time, should prudent aside to order it. there would be widespread human suffering. americans in ukraine had been told to leave the country, but

a core group of us diplomats will remain. they'll work from the city of leave, further west from the border with russia. despite the embassies closure, the white house says it remains actively engaged in finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis. the path for diplomacy remains available. if russia chooses to engage constructively. however, we are clear eyed about the prospect of that given the steps russia is taking on the ground in plain sight, president biden says he will not send us troops to defend ukraine in the event of an invasion. but american soldiers are standing by across the border in poland, a member of the nato alliance. real lives will be at risk ukrainian lives to be sure, but also russian lives. this. this will not be bloodless. this will not be easy. a pentagon spokesman says the us has not concluded that russia's president has

decided to invade ukraine, but that an invasion could come with little or no warning. president invite and spoke with the case prime minister and discussed reinforcing nato's eastern defences. and the u. s. defense secretary is now headed to belgium, or he will meet with military allies, heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. and you and 2nd, general antonio. good ted as spoke to the ukranian and russian foreign ministers. he is our diplomatic editor, james, based on those talks. until now, the united nations has been pretty much on the side lines 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 ukrainian foreign minister and has issued this strong statement. we will have no stone unturned in the search for a peaceful solution. abandoning diplomacy for confrontation is not

a step over the line. it is a vive, over a cliff. in short, my appeal is these. do not fail the cause of peace. the secretary general was speaking after having lunch with the security council. secretary general 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 that were reluctant to say much about what was discussed. discussion, it really was recent days here in the corridors. the united nations have been very strange. you'll find some diplomats who tell you, they believe that war is imminent. they'll be an invasion within days. and yet there are others who say they don't think that 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 but rushes defense
