regions of east and ukraine. hours after russia recognized them as independence. president vladimir pierson signed a decree alongside rebel leaders from the self proclaimed don yeske and no hands people's republics. he's ordered the army to launch a so called peacekeeping operation. there are moscow's move was condemned at a marathon, missing a v united nations security council, the u. s. and its european allies all preparing now to impose new sanctions on russia. many speakers raised been lamb of a russian invasion if ukraine leading to tense exchanges. shebra tansy has more is the president as security council president russia proposed a closed door emergency meeting on monday night. but the u. s. insisted on a public session having earlier stated that could be no fence sitters and the ukraine crisis. and speaker after speaker expressed varying degrees of disquieting or outright condemnation of russia's recognition of the independence of donuts under hans. the u. s. of the united nations itself was at stake. president potent

is testing our international system. he is testing our resolve and seeing jess how far he can push us all he wants to demonstrate that through force. he can make a farce of the un through the ukrainian ambassador also on this was not just about his country. the united nations is sick. that's a matter of fact, it's been here by the virus spread by the kremlin will lead to come to these wires. it is in the hands of the membership. thank you, mr. president. criticism of russia was not limited to the west african nations express particular concern at the breach of the territorial integrity of ukraine. multilateralism lies on its death bed to night. it husband assaulted to day as it,

as it has been by other powerful states in the recent past. but russia said it was precisely the failure of multilateralism that had led moscow to make its decision. specifically, the refusal of kiev, backed by washington to implement the cease fire agreement meant to permanently end hostilities in eastern ukraine and give the region autonomy the ministry agreements . keep me posted shameless, that i have not only very quickly returned to militant rhetoric and continued shelling civilians, but also did everything to sabotage and eventually destroyed the minsk agreements key to the meeting. what now for the minutes? the agreement is still the only existing framework piece. the u. s. appeared unequivocal. today president potent has torn the mask agreement to shreds because russia disagrees. you see, just movies are still looking for today. we can see that many colleagues want to sign up to the idea that the minsk agreements are dead,

but that's not the case. and kiev is still bound to implement them. we remain open to diplomacy for a diplomatic solution. but permeating the discussion was the question, is this, it has a lot of my putin but a math thing. his forces of the cranial board is not just to force the west into a dialogue about moscow's strategic concerns, but also finally to reach a settlement in easton ukraine. or does the russian president, how far wider ambitions she ever chance the al jazeera, the united nations? while the men's face process, which you mentioned that in his report was meant to provide a diplomatic solution to the conflict in easton ukraine, a cold for a comprehensive sci fi in the dumbass region between ukraine's government and russian back separatists in pulse of genetics and new hands or in troops were told to leave and under the agreement, the separatist held areas were meant to receive a degree of autonomy from ukraine. the ultimate goal was to bring occupied areas

back under the central government. moscow interpreted the agreement differently. russia says it was not potty to the conflict, nor the terms of the agreement. and fighting along the line of control has never really stopped since that agreement was signed back in 2015. as go to a correspondent dawson jabari was live in moscow. so what next now, what does this mean for the diplomatic path in the future? if the so called mince agreement, i think m most analysts have spoken to here agreed that when vladimir putin signed those, it decrease. recognizing the independence of 2 m regions in ukraine. he pretty much signed away any hope of a future for that minsk agreement. and this is something the russians have said wasn't working in the 1st place for a past few months. the president himself was accusing ukraine of violating this

agreement. but i think it's important to point out that in this 13 point agreement that was signed in 2015 there were areas established at for these m separatist groups at to be in. and that was a only 32 percent of the area within the ganske. and don yeske, it wasn't the entire areas in don bass. i think that's important to highlight them . of course it was a contact zone, a contact line that was as well, establish a 420 kilometer contact line. what is the main question here now is what will happen to the actual that line itself? because one of the main issues with the minsk agreement was that there are no, there should be no foreign troops on ukrainian soil or in those regions. but now, since vladimir putin has ordered as the so called peacekeepers to go into those areas to monitor the situation and to aid very nearly $800000.00 russian citizens

that are in that area, it will become very much clear that this agreement can no longer stand as something the russians have said, that it wasn't working anyways, being violated by the ukrainians. and at the grand ceremonial, a meeting we saw take place in moscow on monday, was relieved. laramie potent and putting on this very elaborate show for the entire world to make his points that ed the russian army as well as the country as a whole, is behind those separatist leaders who were in moscow for the signing ceremony. and i think it's very clear now that the russians are not very interested in any kind of diplomacy with the west was very much a fiery speech. we heard from vladimir putin addressing the nation late in the evening in moscow. and it was clear that he has no interest in really and forging a kind of a diplomatic path with the west from this point on a dawson,

you've been in moscow for some time. now, i'm interested to know how people in russia view the events of recent weeks, particularly the announcement of nights. how, how, how does that play into their minds is that they could be a war in ukraine specially in light of the fact they are a lot of people with family in it, russian family in ukraine. are they supporting president putin or is there some concern i think a general that people i've spoken to in this area and you can see behind me a where we are, our office is located in an area called an ukraine. within moscow, it's a neighborhood that has a long history with that country. and i've last night when vladimir putin was speaking on state television in my hotel lobby, i was having a coffee. and i saw most of the people that were coming through had a vladimir putin on their phone. there were watching him deliver that speech as it

was being broadcast across all the state channels here. and there was a sense of am. first, there was a big sense of shock, i think, even from earlier in the day, an unprecedented meeting of his security council that was broadcast for about 2 hours showing the entire conversation and the process of him leading to making this decision later in the evening. it was all broadcast on state tv. it was something very unusual for people here to see. they even heard from certain officials that they've never heard from in public before. so i think there was a sense of shock at 1st, but many people i spoke to were actually am happy about that decision. vladimir putin has taken even a taxi driver i spoke to on my way to the office, said that he may not have agreed with him in the past, but he supports this decision now. and analysts, i've spoken to have said that they think his popularity will actually increase in russia as a result of these moves. the other thing we have to remember is there is

a lot of women and children that have now crossed the border into russia since at the separatist leaders declare to state of emergency on friday in lugens. and on yet, they asked that women children elderly, to leave their homes and cross over the border into russia. the russian authorities have said they have now received over 70000 evacuees from that era. but we have to remember the, this going to be very difficult to imagine that people that have come now in russia into russia, they have been dispersed alongside it and many different regions. he, those regions have all declared a state of emergency. but at the human aspects of all this, these are people who lived in ukraine their entire lives. and then they had to leave their husbands son's brothers behind because the men were asked to stay in case they had to take up arms to defend their areas. i think it's a very telling and going to be very difficult and in the coming weeks to try and see what the future holds for those people that have come into russia. there was

a sense of urgency. the women who spoke to local media after entering russia said they were so distraught and it remains to be seen. what will happen in the coming days? don't. so what do you think is going to happen next? i'm sorry, can you repeat the question? what, what happens next? well, the bill is now back to the as duma though, if government officials will be discussing it further, but it's pretty much a done deal. i think we're all now waiting to find out whether or not that meeting between at u. s. secretary state anthony blinkin answer gay lover of that is due to take place in geneva on thursday will happen as a result of what's been taking place now. ok, many thanks for that door said jabari there for us in moscow. well, ukraine's president says, his country's internationally recognized board as will remain the same in an

address to the nation. val odom, is the lensky also told ukrainians not to be afraid that is no miles on the bridge in glasgow. there are absolutely no reasons for kayla to actions. i think we'll do everything to keep it that way. we stick with the peaceful and diplomatic way. we'll only walk this way. we are on our land and we are not afraid of anything or any one. we don't owe anything to anyone. we won't give away anything to anyone. we are confident in this, under some ins, as law for us in the ukrainian capital key f. let's get reaction from that. under strong words from president lensky. but will this be enough to reassure the people of ukraine? how are they feeling today? it's been a dark night in ukraine in every sense. and there is a, a mixed atmosphere. you heard savanski that defiant, a, pushing the point stick with the peaceful and diplomatic way, he said,

but how long now a can that last to because the diplomatic window is looking very dim. indeed, in terms of, of possibilities of getting out of a sequence of events on the ground that could be catastrophic. i. russia is describing it sir. intervention here as a peacekeeping mission. nothing further could be away from the truth than that, according to the people we spoken to here in care of politicians and the public because events could be dictated to by what happens on the ground now. and what's happening is this, the people in done yet. so the self declared republic have seen convoys of russian military vehicles, according to local people, and according to local television, who have used the shots are filmed by it, would appear, amity cameras,

and also a scenes of celebration and done yet. so with people raising russian flags and a cheering on the arriving troops. and so what we have now is on the ground, 2 dead ukrainian soldiers reported in the past 24 hours. one civilian killed, water supplies, power supplies, cut and shelling reported to day tuesday in mary paul that is a disturbing. busy def development, and that's coming from the ukranian forces. so really what is going to happen next while it will be dictated to by the actions of the separatists? it seems they are using long range weaponry, artillery, and this is having a devastating effects along the contact line. will the russians join in that is the big question now. and will there be any further diplomatic contract on the ground?

and in, indeed, in new york in moscow, in brussels, this is what the president is calling for. he's asking his allies to support him. ok many thanks for that day, anti simmons, that for us in key f, one of russia's glazes allies was careful not to take sides during that un security council session. john is in boston called on all involved to avoid making things wes katina. you have moved from beijing on tuesday, beijing sent out a statement warning all of its citizens in ukraine to try to avoid unstable areas, but it stopped short of actually telling them to leave the country completely. unlike many other nations. no ton and recent weeks has criticized the us for what it says is hyping up. the threat of war. china has said that it believes that russia's security concerns all legitimate and the 2 countries all very close. vladimir putin was justin beijing about 2 weeks ago. emphasizing the strength of

his friendship with china with she's in pain, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't ping would welcome or support any war over ukraine. he's also has very good ties with. he has, and china very much relies on trade with europe. so china's ambassador to the ambassador to the un on tuesday. jung jones said that all policy should really return to dialogue and exercise restraint will collect you farther. more hands on the current situation in ukraine is a result of many complex factors. china always makes its position according to the merits of the matter itself. we believe that all countries should solve international disputes by peaceful means and in line with the purposes and principles of the un charter. we should certainly beijing, as watching what is happening in ukraine very, very closely and waiting to see how the international community responds to any possible invasion by russia. meanwhile,

more people were evacuated from rebel help part of eastern ukraine, as we had correspondent in moscow mentioned they've been arriving in russia, and the russian media is reporting hundreds of temporary accommodations centers happens. set up 8 has also been sent to 43 regions where the evacuees will stay. 60000 people are reported to have ready cross into russia. what we spoke earlier about the ongoing crisis to michael butcher key if he is a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center, he's also a former spokesman for the o. s. c. e. the organization for security and cooperation in europe. he told me developments of the last 24 hours attending this speech last night was nothing short of like curdling it. it was coming from a man who i believe has no intention at stopping at the so called frontline,

dividing the occupied and government control areas of ukraine is the big fear here at the moment is that he will actually try and take control of the other parts of lives can to that they basically control at the moment above one 3rd of those 2 blocks. and then another possibility is to move further south and create that land bridge between russia proper and crimea. so this has a long way to play out, and i don't believe the sanctions out so far by the white house will do anything to deter if diplomacy was on the floor 2 days ago. i said it was in the basement yesterday. it's down the drain. now, clearly put in, it's not listening to, you know, the day that the statements coming out of the road based international world. he's going to choose his own path, and i think there should be a wake up call to the entire world that he is a thought that was to see his own way. that was to remake the international security structure of europe. it's again, a very,

very chilling development. all the self proclaimed rebel republics, have done, etc. and hounds have been at the center of russian ukraine's conflict for years now . 2 and a half 1000000 people live in east and ukraine in the region controlled by ukraine's army. and those moscow supported separatists donnette scandal. hans gone industrial humps dominated by mining with boss coal reserves, an important asset for both sides. the people in those regions hold a variety of passports. but recently russia all fed fast track citizenship to more than 720000 residence there. a battle for control of the regions broke out back in 2014 and since then, more than 14000 people have died in the fighting. tell sat that he has been on the road with a ukrainian annie patrol close to mary paul on the ross buddha. he sent us this exclusive report destroyed homes in a deserted village,

close to the front line with families that used to live here. left when this will started almost 8 years ago and neither broken belongings remained. russian bank separatist positions i'll just over the horizon and crane an army soldiers tell us their shelter has been repeatedly targeted in recent days or craters gouged out by separatist artillery shells. just a few meters away. 27 year old burn has been at this dug out for 3 months. the ukrainian soldier says separatists using higher caliber weapons than before, offend, leaving him or was it there were they are targeting infantry in the dugouts. i stood at the entrance and head 1st incoming 10 meters away from me. they shelled along the road. we walk along perhaps try to hit our communication lines. the shelling is much more frequent and concentrated recently. soldiers taken so long

a trench to the observation postal sto at a boost, up with his opportunity. this used to be a separate his trench says the soldier, there were still anti personnel mines. so be careful where you put your feet. if you don't want to lose separatist positions are under 50 meters in that direction. most of the men here we speak to say they have very little hope that a peaceful solution can be stopped to fill. when suddenly the whistle of an incoming shell, inquiries for me, all the enemies. you see the bushes there says the soldier possibly will. 23 meters from there is a separatist trench on. the hook. between us is a minefield with selling. the bunker is small and cramped. 26 year olds, kesh, which roughly translates as chaos started fighting the separatists. the beginning of the conflict 8 years ago. i just don't read any. i can't understand put into

politics. it's stupid to be afraid of something when there's no threats. i can't remember when nato has ever been a fit to russia, not since the collapse of the soviet union and ukraine independence more than 30 years ago. for that's not what roches leader things. vladimir putin vision of the future remains unclear. john strafford al jazeera eastern ukraine. while the crisis in ukraine has threatened to disrupt global gas supplies, as quite a bit of it, flows through the region has a has been hosting a gas produces for him. a mirror of kathy has been speaking at the event literature that are located on an updated mulvey. the world has witnessed a lot of challenges in the past 2 decades in the field of energy. natural gas producers have a big role to play in reducing environmental damage. the guess exporting countries forum has played

a vital role in promoting the role of natural gas and supporting economies facing environmental challenges. this contributes to achieving sustainable development goals and targets. and in this context, we appreciate the joint if it's by the member countries in order to have reliable sources of natural gas and achieve the stability in the market. predominate. among hon joins us from bear indo hartwell him on the crisis than ukraine may not have been at the forefront of this cons conference. but it's got to be the elephant in the room in light of the impact on gas applies. if a war with ukraine does occur, where it's not just that it's not in the forefront, it's not being talked about publicly at all. what we've been hearing from the emir statement this morning and he had just a little bit of it. there is about natural gas itself and that it being a clean, a cleaner energy, but it hasn't been mentioned in his words are,

and his speech at all the reason for that is, or it's dominated privately. what the closed or summits have been talking about here is really what goes on if a, the russians stopped gas applause in europe, or if there's sanctions against russia, that stops those gas supplies thought now publicly. ah, the americans have already asked them to see if they can up their capacity to supply europe in case that happens. now the countries are, according to the sources within the ministry of foreign affairs. here, i actually asked a western countries to take a look at their other allies in case they need spare capacity, particularly the asian country. so it's not about politics a, it's about the physicality of actually getting gas from oil and gas exporting countries to the consumers that actually need it. and that's the kind talks that have been going on is really very much about contingency. what happens if there's also a real concern from gas exporting countries here they've signed deals on times 25

year long deals. ah, so it may not mean that they have the capacity to be able to, to get gas from their countries or from their regions into europe. if those sanctions were russia, indeed stops gas supplies into europe. so there's a lot of talking about the technicalities and practicalities here. none of the, as i say, it will be talked about publicly here the course. the focus here will be over gasping, a cleaner energy and one for the future. so is anything like this actually come out of this from it? well, yeah, i mean there's the a lot. there's gotta be a lot of talk about how gas is the energy of the future and how it's a clean energy it as much more environmentally friendly. and those will be the key messages they'll be pushed out. many thanks for that iran con there 1st line in denver and dallas and mexico,

according on the president to stop verbally attacking them as follows. a wave of violence against news media, wac s. so fall 5 jealous have been killed in attacks as here on your police reports from mexico city. they remember these are news professionals in mexico, protesting violence against journalists. the protests of mark a rift between journalists and mexico's president and buddhist manuel lopez over. i thought one of the incident during a press conference with the president reporters staged a silent demonstration over the growing list of slain journalist county. let's get in. we have to know it, but if he didn't, we would like to abstain from asking questions mister president. because the principal killers of us journalists public servants. because the critics of president lopez over the world see that at a time where being a journalist in mexico is becoming more dangerous. the president has instead broadened verbal attacks against reporters. many have also objected to

a special press conference. the president holds every wednesday where he names and change journalists, who are often critical of his administration, calling them sell outs and mercenaries in the president needs to hear the voice of the journalist skills. most of us do not agree uses his daily news conference to generalize about journalists. society believes him because he's the president, and he's creating this idea that most journalists are sell outs and work in the interest of some obscure agenda, maybe some of but most of us who work every day in the streets doing it because it sounds location. most recently, president lopez or but other targeted carlos loaded, the more a news presenter who previously reported on the lifestyle of the president, son by attacking, looked at them all as journalistic integrity. nor is it bigger the staff, it is not the kind of journalist you mentioned who has the noble job of informing

the citizens and criticize bad public servants. no, this is something else in mexico, journalists already face threats from organized crime and corrupt government officials. transparency advocates say president lopez over adults, rhetoric is only making the situation worse. it seems like you are in the power of voice because he is the president. right. and he's not only manipulating the public opinion, but he's also use in public fun like money for this confirmed this to me directly. i did my best to criminalize the press in the country. i mean, outside of like a work done to be seen. this is abigail, for his part president lopez over the board has promised there would be justice in the cases of violence against journalists, human rights advocates in mexico have condemned president lopez over doors, rhetoric toward journalists, calling his weekly press conference in illegitimate use of power,

adding that the president should focus on curbing violence instead of stigmatizing those who exercise freedom of expression. ah, there have been at least 30 journalists killed in mexico since the start of lopez, but others presidency and at least 12 are currently listed as disappeared. though the mexican government says federal protection for members of the press has increased human rights advocates argue the worsening murder. rate of news professionals across the country tells a different story. when was it up a little al jazeera mexico city? ah, i'm only inside with a have lines on al jazeera columns of russian military vehicles have been seen in one of the 2 break away regions of east and ukraine. ours, off to russia, recognized them as independent president vladimir putin signed a decree alongside rebel lee is from the self proclaimed genetics and new hands

peoples. republics. he's also ordered the army to launch a so called peacekeeping operation.
