i thought it might just involved in it's in the hands, but i didn't ever think it would involve kiev who's got a through. most likely war has now begun. every one is leaving everywhere as shut nobody to care you, your camp. i hate the country that started this war. i speak as a mother and as a ukrainian, and i call on the whole, well to help us. and scott was aggressor re ukraine's government declared martial law or children. when i had a conversation with you as president joe biden, the u. s. is starting to gather international support in today. we need you. each of you to be calm. if possible, stay at home, please. we are working. the army is working. the tie, security in defense sector of ukraine is working in the russian military offensive follows a carefully choreographed strategy of russia's president vladimir putin. he unilaterally recognized 2 separatist regions in eastern ukraine as independent of kiev,

and then sent russian soldiers in under the pretext of being peacekeepers. the battle for la hans and don, yet skin easton, ukraine has been going on since 2014. with more than 14000 people killed in fighting between the russian back separatists and the ukrainian army. now, war putin calls peacekeepers the only attack and the russian leader is warning ukrainian soldiers not to resist the when you put them up on your shirt or whatever we try to stop us and further create threats to our country to our people should know that russia's response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history. we are ready for any outcome. the russian invasion began despite last ditch appeals from members of the united nations security council to ease tension ukraine's ambassador to the un demanded.

cupboards. the ukrainian army and air force are putting up a fight and resisting the russian attack. this video from the defense ministry said to show a russian helicopter shot down by ukrainian forces near kiev. but there will be no reinforcements from nato. and the odds look heavily stacked against ukraine's forces. andrew simmons al jazeera, give, or russia has been preparing to invade ukraine for months. nearly $200000.00 soldiers were deployed around the country, including near the rebel held areas of the hence continental in the east. and in crimea, which russia and next in 2014, russia has attacked the capital give and the major cities of cock give marty paul. and then the pro, it's military immediately targeted ukraine's air defenses as well as caves main airport and air bases. in several of the cities, russian military vehicles have been deployed from crimea and pillars where russian

troops were taking part in joint military drills. and the in the east, the ukrainian military says it's killed 50 troops in the lance region and dance 6 russian warplanes. you as president joe biden, he wants sciences to impede russia's ability to do business. white house correspondent, kimberly hallett has this, after consulting with his national security council in the white house situation room, and the virtual meeting with g 7 leaders, us president joe biden made good on his promise to inflict massive costs on russian president vladimir putin for invading ukraine prudence is the aggressor prudent jose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences. the new sanction target major russian bags and russian league, and in coordination with allies representing more than half the global economy, are designed to cut off russia from the world financial system. russia,

assets and the u. s. are also now frozen. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars. euro's pounds and yen export controls to curtail russian high tech imports are also being opposed to cripple russia's military and high tech capabilities. the moves are backed by top, congressional democrats like senate leader, chuck sure, who condemned russia invasion and pledge support for ukraine. ukrainians are tough and resilient. i know they will not give up their country. they will fight fiercely for it. but senate republican leader mitch mcconnell is blaming bided for the crisis. i think the precipitous withdrawal from afghanistan in august was a signal and maybe to chinese president, she as well. that america was in retreat across america, demonstrators protested hooton's invasion after

a generation of fighting in iraq and afghanistan. most americans are war weary. in a recent poll just 26 percent of americans support the u. s. playing a major role in the russian ukraine conflict. biden has promised us troops won't be sent to ukraine, but if the conflict spreads to a nato country, us soldiers already states europe would be obliged to fight on thursday, fight, and reaffirm that commitment to collective native defense. united states will defend every inch of nato territory with the full force of american power. president biden has announced a nato summit will be convened on friday. the purpose to affirm support for ukraine and map out the next steps necessary to strengthen the nato alliance. kimberly, how can al jazeera the white house, or i let say crossover, does he alive now?

i will be to my kind of correspondence at mike's, and mike, these sanctions have been enforced better be administration will know only too well . they will take some time to have an impact. yes, indeed. yes sir. these are sanctions that are creeping in nature. it will take a long time to have that type of economic impact on russia that the administration intends it to the one sanction that would be a more immediate effect, perhaps, is that sanction against the nor to pipeline from russia to germany. now, germany, after long consultations with the u. s. president has agreed not to certify that pipeline. and among the sanctions imposed by the us government is on the builders of that particular pipeline. that is something that would be very important to russia in the medium term. certainly the revenue from its gas supplies, its potential gas applies and that pipeline would be substantive. but generally the

pipe sanctions that have been imposed far more sweeping, perhaps in 2014 off to the russian invasion of crimea. but as you say, they are of a creeping nature, it will take a while for the impact of economic sanctions on companies, as well as those economic sanctions against individuals close to putin to really have begin to take hold. it's easy, mike, isn't it to say with hindsight, but some, i guess i would, would have the view that biden should have been tougher from the start of all of this that to an extent he and, and others in the west, of course, left a door open to that meant region. so the biden administration position was that sanctions of the as a deterrent. and that one sanctions are triggered then that the terabyte is removed . now that was at odds with some offer the u. s. as nato partners. certainly ukraine, ukrainian president had called on the us in particular to impose sanctions before

vladimir putin instructed of the invasion. so there has been differences about that . now the right in administration is saying that it is incrementally introducing sanctions. it is still holding sanctions back has some kind of deterrent. and so it is now switching its narrative and away from saying that sanctions are deterrent once they are triggered than they are no longer a deterrent by saying that it still has further sanctions up at sleeve. and indeed, perhaps it has one of those sanctions that has not yet been imposed is a ban or a cutting russia out of the swift, a monetary transfer system, which would have a massive impact. but once again, there are some nato allies that don't want to see that happen because of the impact it would have on europe and the world as a whole. so the bite and ministration says it still has further sanctions that it can impose and it will impose them in coming weeks. but as we keep on saying this

is an incremental process and it will take while for the 1st trenches of sanctions to begin to have the impact at that the west and the u. s. desire or to might thanks back to my kind of a in washington dc. i still had herron out 0 slovak here for pass for a wave of refugees fleeing rushes, invasion of ukraine. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. the winter sponsored by cattle airways. you're locked into your weather report for the middle east in africa and we've got a lot of activity in the levant. we'll pick up the story there in just a 2nd. but 1st going into the golf. we've got this southerly push. there is 30 degrees in riyadh, i q 8. we may see some activities, some showers drop down that will play g u, the risk of a thunderstorm anyway. as we look toward the next few days,

ukraine's president says 137 people have died on the 1st day of a full scale of russian military invasion view and estimates around a 100000 ukrainians for their homes. western powers hitting russia with more sanctions. the u. s is blocking the assets of russian banks, sanctioning oligarchs and restriction access to high tech goods. and the e. u is targeting the trade energy and transport sectors. you, as president says, he'll be announcing further measures against moscow after a meeting with g 7 and the nature allies. friday, joe biden says, russian leader is trying to test western resolve more than 1700 people are reported to have been arrested during until protested russia thousands conversion the streets of at least 50 cities after learning of their president's order to invade ukraine furnace methods. this report now from moscow just a few hours after launching the biggest invasion of a european countries in the 2nd world war. it looked like business as usual at the

kremlin. pakistan's prime minister was the guest. but my vladimir putin's mind have been elsewhere. as the 2 men talked, russia's military was advancing in ukraine. these trucks were headed from crimea to the cranium border. part of an army that had surrounded a country of 40000000 people, a country that russia's president has said he doesn't think should exist in an address to russian than ukrainians. putin said his aim was to demilitarize ukraine, and he made clear his antipathy for the government in kiev, doors and abilities the equal. i have to also address the ukrainian military. dear comrades, your father's grandfather's, great grandfathers fought against the nazis defending our coleman motherland. not for today's neo nazis to take power and key. if you took the oath of allegiance to the cranium, people, not the john to robin ukraine and bowling its own. people do not follow its criminal orders. i urge you to immediately lay down your weapons and go home.

russia's defense ministry says it's met all its targets for thursday, destroying 83 ground facilities of the ukrainian military. and it insists they're not targeting civilian areas. so some of them are the high precision weapons of the russian armed forces on to destroy the military infrastructure. these are objects of air defense, military airfields, of ation of the armed forces of your grain stage to video of human with mass casualties. amanda civilian population was filmed in ukrainian cities. there have been some attempt in russia to protest against the invasion. several 100 turned out in moscow. the shouting no, to war, judging the russian public reaction is difficult because it's almost impossible to protest freely here. but vladimir putin approval rating was at 69 percent in the build up to the wall. this is a blown invasion. and the president put to nashua

a couple of days before outlined in his speech. what he wants to get from you green watch green should do, and that included therefore, a total demilitarization of the country. at an afternoon meeting with businessman, no one admitted to vladimir putin any worries about sanctions. russia central bank set its got $631000000000.00 in cash reserves to cushion the economy. if it's closed off from the global financial system. and in a late night phone call on thursday, the french president told vladimir putin, he was exposing himself to massive sanctions. the kremlin, said putin and emanuel micron had a serious and frank exchange of views. whatever was said, it was unlikely to have been enough to stop the russian military advance on kia, bernard smith, al jazeera, moscow. the u. s. defense department is deploying 7000 more soldiers to europe.

medical hate reports, not from the pentagon. senior defense officials here at the pentagon are increasingly talking about a concern that ukraine isn't the end of it, that they could advance towards nato countries. that's why you repeatedly hear officials here and at the white house say that they will enforce the nato treaty, which basically says an attack on one is treated like an attack on all to that. and they are sending an additional $70000.00 soldiers to germany. they're part of an armored brigade combat team. they're coming out of colorado and they said from germany, they could be moved to other places within europe. this is on top of other soldiers that they've sent in the weeks leading up to this. so now there's a total of $14000.00 additional troops. they are not to mention the 10s of thousands that are permanently stationed there. and they've also sent equipment. we know that they announced today that for each of these countries to f, $35.00 fighter jets have landed in romania lithuania and estonia attack helicopters are on the way. and they're not ruling out the possibility that they're going to

send even more forces, even more equipment to reassure the allies. but also they say, to send a message to russia when they say the back they back the nato treaty, they mean it. the positive mary poll is one of the cities under attack. the meth says that they will be fighting back unusable as is no like where you can. yes, i'm your eyes. i want to reassure you that our military spirit is at the highest level. nobody will surrender mario polk, we will defend our city and our land. while charles trotted his out just outside to mario pope on thursday morning, he saw a combo tank, some flying ukrainian flags. i'm close to a check point on the outskirts all my real full military vehicles behind me heading down a road, heading west. nobody can see. quite yet. on the other side of the road, there was a convoy of tanks appearing in the last 1015 minutes or so. we've heard the distinctive thought of what sound to bay grad miss. isles being

used. these are these missiles with that, so you can see the time coming out heading to mary awful. as i say, the last few minutes we've heard the distinctive sounds of dr. michelle being used in the fall. it is now across the field here. there all you probably did military installations that we on the side ways earlier, billowing smoke coming from the other. come with me, that tag me being towed,

jesse my well being hit but sir. yeah. also increasingly we're seeing more more people leaving chrome. this checkpoint is checkpoint. the road going down towards the west towards is like the dance only. i don't see of as well as denise proven in the north, north west. getting close to me. we have been speaking to a source in the navy around the paradox. and says that earlier today, naval force is off the coast of the coast. the burdens came under fire from russia, labor, with russian naval vessels at forcing them back to base 60 general antennae. gutierrez is the same to you and his scaling up as humanitarian efforts in ukraine. me says the protection of civilians must be the top priority. terrace also repeated. it's cool for russia to immediately pull its troops back. the decisions of the coming days will shape all walls and died. it'll affect the

lives of millions upon millions of people in line with the charter. it's not too late to save these generation from the scourge of what we need. peace refugees from ukraine are arriving in slovakia by car and by trade slackers. government has lifted all current of ours restrictions for ukrainians escaping rushes attack and will open more border crossings if necessary. al jazeera balkans report irma in birth such as the latest from the border between ukraine from slovakia, floods could premier what a failure they call you minister of slovakia. it would have said that all slovaks should show a lot of compassion and understanding towards refugees. he says his country is ready to receive as many refugees as it takes at this border crossing. there are a lot of people with small children, parents trying to play with them, entertain them, and people with children are given priority. others have to wait several hours.

they all hope this is just temporary, but the vacuum interior minister says the situation is stable for now, but it's late and cold people freeze. and while they white not far from here, the already started building refugee centers. the you was ready for this after news stories warning, it could happen. vakio send about 1500 soldiers to build these roofing g shelters. we've seen lots of cars and buses. people arriving here told me they were looking at cell phones, following the situation, deciding to leave. poland will also be under pressure. the polish prime minister says his country's ready to accept a 1000000 ukrainian refugees. they all hope it's only temporary to mobile. we heard earlier about protest in russia condemning the criminal invasion order. and similar demonstrations have been held in other countries on a gig or 40 from i. from start to berlin, tokyo and they root.

this is the anger over russia's invasion of ukraine around the world. in london, a crowd outside the prime minister's downing street residents, making its demand loud and clear. calling for a complete economic isolation of russia, worry that many here have for their families. back home. i was talk, my mom called me. it was 5 o'clock, 4 30 in the morning. here. it was top issue was like a rationalist. i really did. we, i watch a minute by minute. what's happening that and most of them are not safe. oh god, i went so far is johnson has said that unprecedented measures have been prepared to punish russia many who feel that it is too little too late. and while the rest of

the world may be shot at the patient of ukraine, many ukrainians, living abroad on oaks in france, home to some 30000 ukrainians. hundreds gathered outside the russian embassy in paris. singing with others shouted for an end to the invasion. and many more gathered elsewhere in the city or condemning the assault box like many others around the world, determined to show the solidarity with ukraine. sunny guy, eagle al jazeera nandan. ah, take this is al jazeera, these are the top stories and loud explosions have been heard in ukraine's capital on friday morning. ah, yeah, that was in kiev. it appears to no objects was being shot done over the city.

ukraine's president says a 137 people have died on the 1st day of a full scale russian military invasion for mister lensky.
