he said the global security architecture is almost broken and called for a clear time frame on ukraine. joining nato ought to be mattie at, at a james base reports from munich. the u. s. vice president cobbler harris meeting with the ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. any threats to your country, we take seriously and we have rallied our allies in our partners to speak with one voice. the ukrainian leader made the trip here, despite warnings from the u. s. administration. it might be unwise to travel, given the threat against his country. later on stage, he was asked about president boyd's assertion with president putin has decided to invade in the next few days. a little bit of sure or was a me than when we stand ready to respond to everything in the one that we cannot remain passive. then how can you live in a state where you are told on a daily basis that global happen, that tomorrow the advance will happen?

it means crushing national currency, money being taken out, businesses closing. can you live in that kind of country? and i know, can you have stability in that kind of country? is novi. she also questioned why the announcement of the details of western sanctions should only come to an invasion. but you would you guys need your sanctions off to the boardman your after? our country has been fired off to we haven't bought it right after we have no economy or when part of the country will be occupied. why do we need the sanction? wally? just nato, an e u lead is a threatening, unprecedented sweeping sanctions on russia. but the details are not finalized. i asked the european commission president, sort of on the line about possible measures such as stopping e u energy imports. and russia being excluded from the swift banking system. the final decision will be taken in case that russia is beginning

a war against ukraine and military aggression against ukraine. and then it's going to be a political decision by the european council that is taken up the preparation for the preparation. everything is on the table. what's the lead is not just talking about sanctions, russia might face the all. so what a full scale war might look like her mom, it will be around us. and what is that also for many, many lives and to have something like this in europe? it's hard to imagine, but we are closer to that. now don't be in any time since day at least in the cold war, because she, i never seen such a concentration of troops and forces on such or read this with all the different elements in place. everything from, of course, a high end weapon system. so to feel hospitals to logistics, to come on the control. so russia on the launch attack with hardly any warning time

. there's remarkable unity in the words from e, u, a nato members here. but if his president biden predicts as an invasion soon, will that unity persist when it's time for them to take action? change phase al jazeera munich. within the last few minutes, we've been getting reports from a reuters reporter that multiple loud explosions have been heard in the center of the rebel health city of jeanette. were looking to get more information on that. but in the meantime, child stratford has been speaking to residence near the front line in easton ukraine. there are hundreds of villages like these along the front line on the ukrainian controlled side on what's increasingly worrying the amount of civilians that are still here. as we understand this, evacuation continues in the separatist control areas or is increasingly wiring also . is that in villages like these, there are also a lot of ukrainian military and we've been speaking to some of the civilians here

about their fears were soldiers staying in what were once private homes military vehicles passed by the talia runs the village shop. she has little hope, a peaceful solution to the crisis can be found. moda was him, is this. the military's been here for 8 years, but we all feel like target is missing the course. the military in the village makes the rest greater. i'm afraid to even think about an evacuation. if i would have to leave my home suddenly with a bag of documents posted not attending the security conference in munich suggests he doesn't want a peaceful solution. most of the families of those buried in the graveyard have left the village. people tell us the shelling in the area and the last couple of days has been the worst in years or in yellow. so it's very frightening. i felt the fear rising up 3 me when the shelling of started with that we've been here since

the beginning of the war. but where can we go and who can help us? we had about the evacuation on the other side and it's not a good sign. there is no good that will come out of this is mainly the elderly left here. now they say the shelling has been worse at night. people in villages like this one close to the front line are afraid they are aware of what the russian back separatists on their side of the front line of now calling a mass evacuation of civilians are they are asking what about our safety to char stratford? al jazeera, easton ukraine justin hedges as executor, chairman of prevail, partners, which offers the intelligence and risk management services. and the company is currently working in ukraine. he joined his line from pool in the u. k. thanks so much for being with us. so we've had the last few minutes, so reports was you hadn't managed to confirm from reuters about these multiple loud explosions in the center of the internet's. and we've seen during the day these kind of uptake in seats violations. how significant do you think this all is?

well, peter needs a pretext to conduct further military action in ukraine and i think, watts, we are saying, is elise examples of that? whether all of these amount to enough to provide him sufficient just calls or just calls that he can point to for his domestic audience, remains yet to be seen. but all the indicators suggest, including the arrival of mercenaries, chechen mercenaries, wagner, group profit, military security. those are the sorts of organizations that might conduct attacks within the next could lance against the population that in order to provide that, that reason for, for putin to take action and more broadly, you've been, even in your latest report, you've looked at the, what you describe as indicators and warning as a potential action by russia. what, what would you say the key ones are now and what do you expect in the likely course of action for russian?

i think be a distributed denial of service cyber attacks that occurred quite recently. a couple of days ago against some states science. ah, ah significant indicator morning i think these, this increase in attacks and i still slack operations that might be taking place in the next glance of probably 2 of the most significant indicators on mornings. i think it, it's difficult to tell whether vladimir putin has made up his mind exactly what he's going to do. but all the indicators suggests there's going to be some form of a major action to come in the next few days. and you had identified this window the next couple of weeks and it includes things like the moon state. don't tell us about the, the tactical reasons why they might go in the next few days. yes, so the russian armed forces are well equipped with night vision goggles that rely

on amplifying ambient likes, whereas the ukrainian armed forces are not anywhere near as well equipped. and so right now, we're just coming off a full moon, which will be very light at night. and therefore, the advantage of the russian is for the russians would be, would be significantly less than maybe in a few days time when you are down to sort of 50 percent ambient light in the say, the russians will have advantage. also, i think if they're going to conduct more complex operations like airborne or seaborne amphibious landings than they are probably want some light any, any of other factors like, like weather and the relative preparedness from exercising troops and the imminent influx of further conscripts from the conscript cycle so all of that suggests that we are entering an optimal window, particularly after the closure of the beijing olympics,

which i think we will assess for president g will be very upset with president putin if he conducts election prior to the end of that event over now if we had biden saying on friday, he was convinced between made the decision to attack and you kind of president pushing back against that somewhat some today saying we do not think we need to panic, getting there is still a possible scenario where they were put in is deterred from doing anything or was it was the fair possible scenario, where he does decide not to act and maybe that will be as a result of deterrence. it might be a strategy all along just to, to booley through the threat of violence. again, very difficult to tell, but i think in a sort of deterrent sense, there certainly one or 2 unintended consequences probably that have occurred. one is, nato has been substantially reinvigorate aids. i think we've seen that over the

last few weeks and months, and that will probably be the case for some time to come that the other unintended consequences regardless of whether the west ends up imposing shout sanctions. whatever reason, europe will be thinking very carefully about his long term energy needs and might look to make sure they've got sources of, of energy that so they're not quite as reliant on russia in the future just i had just thank you very much indeed for your analysis, thank you. one, despite the apparent escalation is the kremlin insists a diplomatic solution is still on the table. meanwhile, president vladimir putin has been overseeing strategic exercises involving russia's nuclear forces, dosage a barrier reports from moscow. let me put, gave his go ahead for the start of the nuclear drills, joined by his bell, a russian counterpart, alexander of the christian co rushes president chil saturday for these wargames.

security system is almost broken. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin has been overseeing major nuclear drills involving the launch of hypersonic missiles and other weapons. westerly to say russia is going a playbook of deception to justify an invasion of ukraine just this week president vladimir putin alleged that a genocide has taken place against the russian speaking population in ukraine's eastern. if you will use basis claims like this as a pretext for military action against ukraine. but russia says the west is carrying out its own misinformation campaign with her back horn is an author and professor post soviet politics at dublin city university joins us live by scott. thanks very much indeed for being with us. how is all this christ is being portrayed in the russian media? well, essentially, the view portrayed in the russian media is that russia, as a country, is under siege internationally. and russians in ukraine are those up a pro russian disposition are under siege. so it's kind of

a parallel narrative of victim poach that the russians are, you know, not their rights are not being respected, their role is not respected and they need to be protected. so this is why the rollback at national is one narrative that russians must be protected from this expansion of some of nato and, and then with the ukraine, that the russians must be protects against the aggression of the ukrainian government. and indeed, vladimir putin has used only this last week, the term genocide, to describe what's going on in dumbass. and does it make any difference when say the u. s. and other western countries kind of highlight the, the possibility of kind of sickle false flag and scenarios that might then be used as a pretext formation. just does that cut any ice if they can approach it, which will? well, yes, i mean your, your, your introduction mentions at the u. s. c. special monitoring issue reported $1500.00 cease fire violations. if there's going to be an escalation, most likely won't cease, fire ventilation will be highlighted and used as

a pretext. i mean, if you look at major conflicts in the past, you, irrespective of who was the aggressor, usually it's, it's, it's the victim country, which is, is blame. so for example, the nazi invasion and the soviet invasion of poland in 1939. it was the polls were blamed for attacking both nazi germany and the soviet union similar to finland when it was attacked by the soviet union. 939, the fins burkland. it made no sense and it makes no sense. now, why the ukrainians, when there's a 190000 troops at their border, would escalate the conflict and try and take on russia? they've been 8 years under occupation and they haven't tried to militarily remove the occupation forces. so why they would do so now when it's quite clear that russia has encircled a militarily, is quite difficult to understand. so that's why there's a fear that, you know, this is following a well, warren tactic historically that you put your troops in place, and then you create a pretext that gives you justification to, to, to move your troops in. and you mentioned that, and that has been a bit of

a shift in terms of how it's justified in russia. it's no longer necessarily about nato that dangerous. why not shifted in the last few weeks? is it diplomacy? what it, what is it? well, it, it, it's more trying to, to emphasize that the problem is, is now within ukraine and, and of course, as you know, russia does not really recognize that there's a separate ukranian people. it's a hybrid state for many russians. so if there's not a separate ukrainian people, how can they really have a right to a station self determination? so it's, it's kind of stressing the artificiality of ukraine but also as i said, the, the genocidal nature, as i said, use the terms that they're using the also frequently described the ukranian government and supporters as fascists or neo nazis. and that is a very strong residence in russian history. and it's important to point out how ridiculous those claims are being presidents. the landscape is jewish for example. and indeed the 450 seat parliament and ukraine doesn't have a single far right elected representative. but nonetheless, this is a very popular narrative that russians are,

have to be protected from from far right, or nazi elements. and as i said, that is a very strong historical resonance in russia, and in the unlikely in the event of an attack. what are the possible drawbacks for putin? oh, there are many and there are many possible scenarios, and it's a question that often comes up, what is boot and timing of walks booth and thinking. and anybody who's really honest will tell you that nobody knows he keeps his car is very close to his chest . he has created many options for himself by moving his army there. but it's not quite hear what he intends to do with them. he could, of course, invade ukraine, but that would be if he was to have a full scale innovation, it would be a very long, costly and unpopular war, northeast in russia. and that means that many people have suggested that that's not his 1st objective that he may be looking to consolidate or expand what he has he made. for example, as a last resort recognized next to hands argue that they are no longer they no longer can be trusted in the care of the ukraine government. and he may recognize that he

has done that with other separatist regions. for example, in george, in 2008, when again, the kremlin used the pretext of genocide to intervene in south said he, so it has been done before and i think that's, that's the fear now. then go back home. thank you very much indeed for giving us your thoughts. thank you. you know, another issue discussed in munich is the effort to revive the 2015 iran nuclear. do delegate say an agreement could be just days away. indirect negotiations between the u. s. and iran resume last week in vienna, after 10 day break. the us state department says substantial progress has been made an ideal as possible. if iran shows seriousness. if yoga says it will start generating power from its new mega dam on the blue nile from sunday. the grand, if you appeal when i saw the dam is set to be the largest hydro electric project in africa, ethiopia says the $5000000000.00 development will power its economy. but egypt and she done. so the dam threatens the dependence on the niles waters for agricultural

purposes. anterior has started upgrading some of its irrigation systems. it affairs, a food shortages attempt, the overhaul of dams and water channels improve product of productivity. and many farmers is skeptical from cono in northern nigeria. i'm in the news reports. this was once a lush green valley. but for 5 months, the parched paddy fills of cora. haven't seen a drop of water along these channels. that's because the valves are the ticket em have been turned off for maintenance. as a result, agricultural activities have stopped a huge concern for farmers who are losing income for 40 years. ah, really were enjoins a police all day, say shortness of water somewhere there and, and then there because of their lead vacation of their camels from the down to here but her where i manage a site. but now this is
