stability in that kind of country? is novi. she also questioned why the announcement of the details of western sanctions. it thought should only come without any invasion, but to war wood to guide. now we don't need your sanctions after the bombardment yet after our country has been fired at e after we had no borders right after we had no economy or when part of our country will be occupied a come, why do we need the sanction? is there war and he just from nato and e. u leaders, a threatening, unprecedented sweeping sanctions on russia. but the details are not finalized. i asked the europe and 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 the 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, but also what a full scale war might look like him all. it will be around us and where does 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 anytime since day at least in the cold war because i never seen such a concentration of troops on forces on such or read this with all. busy the different elements in place, everything from of course a high end weapon system, so to feel hospitals, so to logistics, to come on the control. so we're stuck on the launch in the tack 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. well guess what's, my reuters reported that multiple loud explosions have been heard in the center of the rebel held city of jeanette sc. at. charles stratford has been speaking to residents near the front line in easton ukraine. there are hundreds of villages like these along the front line on the ukrainian controlled side on once, increasingly worrying the amount of civilians that are still here. as we understand this, evacuation continues in the separatist controlled 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 stay and 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 in, is this, the military's been here for 8 years, but we all feel like target new thing. of course the military in the village makes the risk 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, suggest he doesn't want a peaceful solution. most of the families of those buried in the graveyard of left the village. people tell us the shelling in the area and the last couple of days has been the worst in years. i've been yellow so it's very frightening. i felt the fear rising up 3 me when the shelling of started with us. we 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, eastern ukraine, justin hedges is executive chairman of prevail, partners, which offers intelligence and risk management services, and which and the company is currently working in ukraine. he says the arrival of mercenaries in the east could signal more attacks, will teach. it needs a pretext to conduct further minute reaction in ukraine. and i think what we are saying is at least 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. that remains yet to be seen,
