7:02 pm
present. let me putin as everything strategic nuclear exercises. the kremlin says it's war ships and submarines of successfully loans, hypersonic weapons and cruise missiles during the drills. rushing back separatists lead as an eastern ukraine of ordered a full military mobilize ation. they say civilians in the don bus region are being evacuated to russia. a shelling intensifies between separatists and ukrainian government forces. ukranian army says one soldier has been killed under simmons. we'll have the latest from kev shortly before us because i would talk diplomatic editor james base who's at the munich security conference. and james, there were moments of levity from the ukrainian president, but on the holy had some very clear remarks to be made to the international community, his nato allies, his european neighbors, and especially to the us absolutely, presidents lensky. in fact,
7:03 pm
just moments we got about 5 minutes ago left from here. heading back to the airport, heading back to you, crane a very short trip, but a trip that actually saw me, including senior figures in the us administration advised him not to make because of the imminent threat they say to his country show, i think of defiance to him and he was here and he was speaking to the delegates here, i think on the scoring unity to an extent with nato and the us certainly on the threat facing his country. but there are areas in which i think he doesn't entirely agree with them. he said, for example, that they keep saying that nato has an open door, but the door never opens for his country. ukraine. he talked about sanctions and said, well, if there is such a threat of war, then why don't they make public the sanctions? they're going to impose on russia if there is a war, and that might deter russia,
7:04 pm
said usa sanctions, if that passed off to his country is already invaded. he was also asked about the intelligence for president biden, and the u. s. has been making very public, their intelligence in real time telling the world what the threat is. he said that was a decision, but the us he relies on his own intelligence, but he says, ukrainians can live in a situation where that could be a war any day that could be a war tomorrow thought. and this of us heroes mute. we're not really living in delusion. we understand what can happen tomorrow, but maybe the comparison i will make is not good. but just putting ourselves in coffins and waiting for foreign soldiers to come in is not something we're prepared to do. we're not going to advance on anyone, but we stand ready to respond to everything. we cannot remain passive. james, or many other important speakers took to the podium at the music security
7:05 pm
conference. who else have been speaking on saturday? well we've got, we've got a lot of important speakers including the german chancellor. we also have your campaign commission president, the nato secretary general know i managed to speak to both of those here. and i think that's one of the important things is what those blocks do. and we've seen remarkable unity in many ways from them here. certainly, nato has not seen this unified to me for many years since well before the start of the trumpet ministration. but i think it's not necessarily about unity of words. they're all very strongly back in ukraine. they're all very strongly condemning president putin. the real test going forward for both native and the e. u will be whether it's unity of action, if by the invasion as president biden is warning, is now almost
7:06 pm
a certainty if that invasion takes place will not be unity of action. and particularly with the sanctions that talking about unprecedented sanctions, sanctions that will really hit russia a way that we've never seen before. but when i pressed the european commission president, she couldn't actually say what will be in those sanctions and whether certain issues like taking russia out or the sweat banking system. the know stream pipeline, she just said, all of these things are on the table and not finalize yet. change things out to plymouth together in munich. thank you. let's go over to care. know andrew simmons is standing by correspondent that and of course andrew, the ukrainian president took to the podium. but he wasn't advised to do that by the us. but what's the reaction about his appearance at the munich security conference for what you are? what it, what do you think?
7:07 pm
wouldn't you, the, the public care would be concerned about is critical time their president going overseas to talk? but no, there's reassurance. generally, for the majority of people, it would seem in ukraine that the president should go on the international stage at a crucial time to give the views of the country and his own views, which weren't necessarily in great support of his allies. he was, as james was pointing out, making a number of points about the level of support and backing in this critical situation. and there is no doubt the alarm amongst the public is growing with the flare up again of violence in what has been an 8 year war with 14000 people dying in the dorm bass region. and so really yes, the, the atmosphere here is one of support for the president, the president who, who was a fairly weak for 6 months ago. we're not,
7:08 pm
not able to get to any progress with the conflict in the east and the hopes his promises of trying to come to some agreement with russia failed. and now this situation with something awful looming, potentially matter of days, possibly the loot is one of disquiet, but support for the president. indeed, our focus has been there in the southeast of ukraine these past few days as being claim and counts a claim over the last 24 hours. what is going on right now as far as we know? well the latest update is the 2 ukrainian soldiers have been killed in shelling along the so called contact line. the front line landscape and nets the to break away republics of russian separatists and separate his back by russia are still firing a long range artillery across the line. a group of parliamentarians,
7:09 pm
along with some foreign journalists, were actually in the denounced region and they came under fire. they had to take shelter near by there. okay, now no one is injured, but just a, an indicator there of, of the intensity of the show for something like 70 violations in less than 12 hours reported by ukraine military. a, a, a robust defense made by the foreign minister of ukraine, allegations that the ukrainian military has been firing shells into the popular republics. there's also a report from foreign intelligence. and in here that the russians are engaged with the so called wagner units, which are mercenary units are used by russia quite often in africa. and they are supposed to be alongside according to this intelligence report,
7:10 pm
alongside special forces, using the tactics for provocations is the way the foreign intelligence services referring to it. but no, there is still ongoing fighting. and as long as that fighting continues. and as long as the, the propaganda is, ukraine refers to it is pushed out from the republics that are under attack and that they need help and the people must evacuate to russia. if this is peddled much longer than there is more and more concerned that what is a skirmish on the front line could be something much bigger. inter simmons and cam, thanks so much for the update. now john stratford is in a village in easton ukraine. nether frontline, where he says there is a significant military presence among civilians. we've been speaking to villages today. they describing the shelling, overnights, or least a couple of the villages that we speak with you saying that was a heavier shilling they'd experienced or heard since the end of all melinda,
7:11 pm
or the official end of hostilities back in 2015. when that failed piece initiative and ceasefire was signed in mid. what's important and as you can see behind me now also to recognize this there's a lot of military in villages like these in and amongst the civilians and interesting. we had a conversation with a ukrainian soldier in a shopper about half an hour ago, and he was debating with the shop owner and even he is concerned about the civilian population here. he'd also the shop owner, whether in fact the local authorities had approached the civilians here for any potential evacuation plan here. nothing on on, on that note. we also asked him personally whether he thought, in fact, that this was just bluster from the russian back separatists from russians. with this increase shelling that we've been talking about, whether fact was blast or whether he thought there was going to be some sort of
7:12 pm
move. his answer was very much a definitive. yes. he said that the weapons that were being used by the separatists were of a heavier caliber. he also acknowledged that the ukrainian army in this area have also moved in larger amounts of weapons in recent weeks. sunny south pitchin is from the russian academy of sciences. he says if nato wanted to resolve the situation, it would push ukraine to follow the minsk agreement. this is the dean with coal li rush and we are in it for you brain for the west to stop non st operation, but not to safe another. to keep the life of the people in dentist. so guns, the problem is the status quo is an interest. if you cream for you green and for the west. this is extremely important to keep these unstable unclear situation. we are no status, no perspective for a solution, just to keep it for any

to command control. so russia on the launch attack with the party in the morning time and that this extremely concerning. but again, it is possible for russia to change mind on to, to step back from the bank. we heard from the us, vice president as well, i'm sure you were listening to a speech. she talked about those sanctions that everyone here is talking about, the strongest sanctions yet on russia. but she also talked about some of the quote to further reinforcement of the eastern flank. so the u. s. planning to send more forces will other nato allies also be sending more forces? yes, as well. dr. seen is that the ne dollars do not to states, but those are all the, it was all the, the increase their presence in the eastern part of the alliance. germany in, for instance, house increased at suppress. yes. but if their invasion, we are, but then we are ready to further strengthen our presence is to make sure that there
