from major exporters, ukraine, and russia. ah, so it is now dawned in here for what is now the 3rd day, the full scale russian invasion, overnight explosions and air raid sirens were heard across ukraine's capitol hill. it's moscow's troops and tanks, continuing to push ahead towards the city center. crane's president said earlier, he expects russian forces to the only capital in the coming housing called on the public to defend it. i, let's get late. his entry simmons is live for us in the capitol. it's are andrew, as you say, the presence it said that he believe russian forces would it would try and take the capital overnight. what's been happening they haven't taken the capital. let's get straight to that point. first of all, but they are so near the center of the city. now we're talking no more than

probably 67 kilometers. it was an extraordinarily awful night and miss, i'll miss isles. just raining down on cave and a ballistic missiles, a shuddering the city and relentless bombardments by the air force of the russian. repub, urban federation, there is, has been so many stories of bravery. so many stories of tragedy, ah, advances from the north by russian armour, from the west, which has been one of the week points of the russian advance from the east. and the south. we are getting reports of at least warn illusions 76 transport carrier. that's a very large aeroplane, a russian paratroopers on board. one of those crashed having been shot down.

there are reports also of a 2nd, a paratrooper carrier being shot down the exact whereabouts i don't have here. the a list of incidence, the list of contacts between the ukranian army and the russian forces is endless all over the country. but here in the capitol, the force of the conflict has reached a seismic level, the civilians, you wouldn't have seen anybody at surface level adjoining the night. every one had taken some form of shelter, most of it below ground. some of it in the most, the handiest sort of shelter people could guess. i would say no one slept properly on this night. and what's more, we are talk and now your introduction. only the 3rd day of this conflict is only just above 48 hours. how many lives have been lost?

we don't know. the authorities don't know the russians don't know, but there are thousands without doubt. many russians, young russians, many young ukrainians, a country that is trying to fight for its independence. there is a mood, i would say a lot of people haven't woken up yet. there's a low in some places now, people are trying to get some form of sleep. but the trauma, the pain is just so immeasurable, very hard to narrate on what's been happening. but let's give you suit a few more highlights. the 101st brigade of the ukranian army has that basically they're reporting that they've taken out a 5 vehicle armoured convoy and in the well, a lot of the forces would be hoping that this is a good omen. it was victory avenue, and they succeeded in one small mission at so pushed back those forces. there'll be more many more to the north west and to the north. there are

a number of armor common columns that have come down from bella luce and there is a, an, a also we'll get reports, we've heard about that at least one troop carrier having been downed. well, many paratroopers are apparently on the ground. there were many of those large aircraft bringing paratroopers in, and there are many paratroopers on the ground next. so this is, it's really just a matter of time. it would seem before the forces get this far, we are really in the administrative center of the city. as andrew, are you talking about civilians? there? understandably a lot of concerned, lot of fair lot of trauma, but also we're hearing plenty of resolve to well, i'm glad you asked me that because this is an example really wherever you go,

whoever you speak to in this conflict, there are stories of bravery. there are stories of people committed to trying, trying to repel an overwhelming force. and i think it any conflict. it's the motivation that is key and there is no doubt about it. there are people of so many different backgrounds and ages in this force. now, a president zalinski ordered of his all of his, her senior officers to cool out for getting people in that to get them signed up on, on the streets, armed with some knowledge at least of trying to take on the enemy. and what we've seen is stories of heroism, it would seem, and i'm sure there are on the other side as well. but that motivation, the motivation of people fighting for a cause, which is independence. freedom, the choice between what is a of, in some ways

a flor democracy or the authoritarianism of putin's russia. well, they are fighting for the former, not the latter obviously. and that resolve you referred to. there are many examples of it. there is one example of the ukrainian president gave in his address, which was quite caught extraordinary, really because he had his leaders behind him. he was almost in wearing a sort of nervous smile when he, when he proclaimed that they will fight song that they will push forward. and anyway, this story of bravery he spoke of was a young soldier, a with the with explosives laid on a bridge and advancing convoy. there was some problem with the detonation he took, he gave his own life. he, according to the president, ran into the onto the bridge and des, to the explosion. the bridge was badly damaged. that's the story he told in. then

he then proclaimed that it was going to be an incredibly difficult nights. and many people had saw the president himself included the, the, the dorm would have actually come with this city having fallen. it hasn't fallen, but it is incredibly close to its art. andrew will taught you has the coming. i'll go on that. thanks very much indeed for that update in the meantime. well, it's vs love your i. she's the youngest member of ukraine parliament and he says, the residence of give will defend their city for russian forces. the reality is that the silence are going off every other minutes and you can hear the shooting happening and lose her presence everywhere. i myself have to spend most of the day trying to help organize trying to help mobilize, trying to help divide the weapons,

told those who are willing to take them up to defend our capital. and i can say that pretty much everyone i met in the capital with stayed here as expressed willingness to try and get those weapons and help out. and we see that very clearly today those incursion is key, where basically the attack was just crushed. exactly, because of citizens taking weapons that were distributed basically were trucks arriving with all the guns you can imagine so that people can try and take them up and push on the russian raiders in every way they can from my country. this is a moment great. just test in its existence and we need to that test and assets to continue on building our state. stay future said my father grandfather, the great grandfathers were fighting for this channel. so we're dying for the show speed and the 2nd war in terms of the kremlin soviet experiments. and now it is all

time to have the same test and we are going to, we are going to, we're going to with well, russia has the teddy and security council draw the resolution condemning it to invasion of ukraine would have confirmed the sovereignty of the crate and demanded that russia immediately withdraw its forces. she returns, he has this report as president of the security council had failed to russia to list the un member states who co sponsored the resolution opposing its use of force against ukraine and calling for an unconditional withdrawal. but swan and the angry with him ali, the resolution did gained the support of 11 members of the council with china, india, and the united arab emirates abstaining. as expected russia, its veto power, russia, you can veto this resolution, but you cannot veto our voices. you cannot veto the truth. you cannot veto our principles. you cannot veto the ukrainian

people, the russian. i'm basset accounted that the resolution was imbalanced for not mentioning the shelling of don bass by the ukrainian government, nor the failure by kiev and the west to implement the 2015 piece deal. and he added this. i'm going to send to me to go to new the new start, the new. i will refrain from listening out the aggressions carried out by the united states in their history. but you are in no position to moralize. the u. s. succeeded in avoiding a chinese veto with its final version of the resolution. but beijing, once again agreed with russia that the crisis had developed over time as a result of nato's disregard for russia, security and cautions. the security council. taking any action should be truly conducive to defusing the crisis rather than adding fuel to the fire. ukrainian ambassador accused his russian counterpart of having no idea what was in latin prudence mind. but he did reaffirm ukraine's commitment and negotiations,

even as he despaired for the safety of his people. and i will ask all of you to pray or to meditate if you do not believe in god for peace is expected that a similar but non binding resolution will be introduced at a special session of the united nations general assembly, where russia does not have the visa, already it appears to have the support of more than 80 of the us 193 member states she ever time. see al jazeera, the united nations with united states is among a growing number of countries planning, financial sanctions, including asset freezes on russia's leadership, the coordinated restrictions aimed to force russia to the negotiating table. alex fisher has this report. it's another step to put pressure on the russian leader in alignment with the decision by our european allies. united states will join them in

sanctioning president putin and foreign minister laugh wrath and members of the russian national security team. foot before ours, after president fight and said he still had further options with sanctions. vladimir putin with a came one of only a handful of world leaders in the we personally sanctioned by the u. s. this step sends a clear message about the, the strength of the opposition to the actions by president putin and the direction in his leadership of the russian military. yes, president talk with president zalinski for 40 minutes on friday. he promised to continue humanitarian, military and security support. but what isn't clear from the white house reading of the call, as if the disgust more scores or 4 of peace talks an offer dismissed by the us state department. now we see moscow suggesting that diplomacy take place at the barrel of a gun or as moscow's rockets mortars artillery target,

the ukrainian people. this is not real diplomacy. those are not the conditions for real diplomacy. oksana mart cordova. the ukranian ambassador in washington says they are gathering evidence of possible war crimes. ukraine has been victim of unprovoked and rationed by russian federation. the 2nd day was even harder. ah, the attacks have been more brutal but, and very pleased to say that they were not successful, definitely not successful as the enemy planned him, the decision to sanction vladimir putin is a significant escalation. but the white house says it still has more tools and its tool box, and we'll judge what's needed day by day. alan fisher al jazeera at the white house, where nato is sending thousands of troops by land, air, and sea to protect allies near russia and ukraine. secretary general jones dalton

book has called the crisis a new normal in europe in security. net as pledge comes after ukrainian president lot amend zalinski. criticize the elantra not coming to his country's aid. if mac editor james base reports now from brussels, troops, tanks and weapons are on the move across europe. as nato continues to reinforce its eastern front, it's member states who are closest to russia. now the alliance is activated elements of its response force. thousands of extra troops over a 100 jets are on high alert. 120 warships are in position. nato leaders met by secure video conference for the 1st time. since the start of the russian invasion, as fears grow that the ukrainian capital could be taken soon. how fearful are you about the possible fall of key? and if we move to a resistance, insurgency type situation, what support can nato then give? what we have seen is that term,

the ukranian forces are fighting bravely and are actually able to inflict damage on the invading russian forces. ah, but again, it is a very fluid, under anglo and evolving the situation. nato allies express her at them some it to day after they are provides support to ukraine. they are ready to continue to rise support to ukraine here at nato headquarters. the plan is to fully protect their members on the eastern front, the countries closest to russia. but at the same time, they're sending a message to president putin. you're getting exactly what you said, you didn't want an increased nato presence on your doorstep. it's part of a coordinated effort. the european union was invited to the virtual nato meeting. at the same time, e u foreign ministers met in brussels to agree

a fresh round of sanctions. the 3rd in just 3 days. this time they decided to directly sanction the personal assets of president putin and his foreign minister, sir galeb roth. james bayes al jazeera brussels. we're the united nations in about $5000000.00 people could flee the fight in ukraine into neighboring countries, and more than $1000000000.00 will be needed for aid operations. over the next 3 months, many in the capital of give, have been crowding into train and metro stations either trying to leave the city or seeking shelter below ground. alexia brown has his, oh. 2 tail, cynthia has thousands. johnson with the train station desperate to leave, the ukrainian capital soldiers reportedly fired into the air to disperse the crowd . so again, with holmes, the throng, we've been trying to leave all day from the morning here. but as you can see, that's unrealistic, like russian troops are edging closer with explosions. heard around the

city earlier this apartment block with him. oh, yes bolo, i was sleeping. there was a sharp explosion, and i was thrown 3 meters from the room. i was in into the corridor. the glass shattered there were sounds coming from the street. i got scared and started crawling on the floor. excellent glen cove made it out alive. will emergency workers went door to door, searching for victims. and as russian tanks rolled into the city below, ground, people crowded into metro stations, exhausted and uncertain about wants to come home to some room with a shelter in our building is known as for underground as the metro station. that's why i think it's safer to come down here. at least a 100000 people have been displaced by the fighting. but the united nation says the number seeking refuge outside ukraine could reach 5000000 level. got all right,

give me a letter. we had to leave behind everything our whole lives work. it's a terrible feeling to leave your home. you can't imagine how i feel our. these families have crossed the border into hungry, hoping it won't be too long before they can return. right on the market. there are long queues at all the banks and the gems have been emptied. there are thrown in the shops and you pretty much can't buy anything any more. and even paying by card is not possible because some banks are not working. and there are our long queues at petrol stations. further along the frontier and poland, hot food and drinks are being served with temperatures hovering around 0 degrees celsius. some people worked 18 hours to get here, many with young children scape and lot rides group, say indiscriminate attacks by russian forces. he looked at her thinking crania national

anthem, and she threw her after the attack. when they were gonna, despite the devastation, an air of defiance remains alexia grime, al jazeera, while many ukrainians have been rushing into neighboring poland to escape the fighting, zen buzz, arriving sent this update from made. go on the border where polish authorities of herrings received more refugees. now we've seen the scenes of people coming across with as much as they can carry. we've seen children in hysterics. we've seen families, cars full of families. people very frustrated and angry and unsure of what comes next polish authorities. the polish government has mobilized an enormous amount of resources to help. the government here has announced help centers as well as

medical facilities in the towns near the border. and the government has said that, so for an estimate of $20.00 to $30000.00 people have already crossed in the 2 days since the invasion of ukraine began. and what we're hearing from the government is they are preparing for as many as 1000000 to 4000000 people displaced by the fighting, to cross over from ukraine to poland in the coming days and weeks. and that may seem like a staggering number, but with reports from the mayor of that there is a chance of air strikes tonight and into 2 more a warnings to people in key to find safety to find cover. that number does seem to be realistic. and in some cases, inevitable or familiar. nissan ukraine, this is an escalation of a conflict. this been raging for 8 years. the town of hor, liftgate, which is controlled by russian back circuitous people say shilling from the ukranian army. as a secondary school shall far, has intensified in the rebel held errors of the nets,

glance can reach months ahead of their recognition as independence by the russian president vladimir putin on monday, love the yellows. it doesn't feel wilkerson wasn't, was similar. we are fed up with this if it has been 8 years, how long can it continued? it has to end sometime till we are people to that we want to live elsewhere. the moon was payton, won't let us down. he's a serious man and he stands for his words. so we will be fine the day we hope for the best. and we think that russia will make it to the kids a strong country. huh. they blockade us another. what? we lived through the cold war in the soviet union to do. we survived nick. while the russian president, vladimir putin, has been encouraging ukrainian soldiers to seize power in his latest own camera address, brenda smith as more from moscow. this was an hour long speech from vladimir putin, in which he exit essentially blamed the collapse of the soviet union on the creation of this independent state of ukraine called into question,

ukraine's very right to exist as a country outside of russia. vladimir putin's tone was at times frustrated, and at times bleak, and he blamed after that long historical lesson of why he believed ukraine was not really a legitimate country. he then went on to blame nato for its failures, to address a situation in the east of ukraine. he accused nato as his frequently accused nature in the past of expanding into all of those eastern european countries that were released from the soviet union at the brett, when the soviet union broke up. he blamed, ain't accused nato of a deliberately expanding into, into those areas. and he said that in east of ukraine, nato has failed to address the situation in don bass. this is where there's been a 7 year long, more than 70 a long. now conflict with these russian separatists. and what vladimir putin has

done is essentially ripped up the minks agreement. this is the 7 year long ceasefire between ed negotiated with ukraine and russia and with the french and the germans, that were supposed to find a solution to the situation in east, in ukraine and say, in said vladimir putin has said that it hasn't worked. that isn't working. i am now going to give, recognize these 2 countries as independent states, straight after he finished his speech, he went on to sign that agreement, which included a friendship and cooperation agreement. which means that if the leaders of lou ganske and don't ask, need help from russia, they can call on it. it means russia could send in troops to push back ukraine from its own sovereign territory. and the conflict crane is escalating concerns at millions across the world. we'll have to pay more for a loaf of bread. wheat prices have jumped to a 13 year high on friday with investors worried about supply disruptions. about 30

percent of global. we take sports all supplied by ukraine and russia. ukraine sends 95 percent of its grain through the black sea. the supports have now come under attack. in 2020, more than 50 percent of ukraine's wheat exports went to countries in the middle east, half of lebanon's and 43 percent of libya's wheaton ports off from ukraine. egypt is the world's largest importer alex smith is a food and agriculture analyst with the breakthrough institute. and he says, those rising food costs will depend on how long the conflict in ukraine continues to create. one of the most important producers in the world said the program ukraine is the 3rd largest we coordinate from the world. we explore and there the, there, especially goes to a lot of lower middle in some countries around the world. and especially in the middle east. well bred prices make it sort of the bulk of the sort of focus meet prices and prices of other products that depend on those commodities, crops,

or for production are going to be impacted in going back to air spring. i think it's, it's a fairly sort of common assertion that's bread prices and price and general food was a main driver of this sort of political instability. and so you can see political instability, you can see food insecurity and you know, in the worst case hunger. and it really is dependent on the extent of this crisis and how long the rushing will last and how long there can be these disruptions that that's when we really see sort of a crisis. and it's nice people have been arrested as an anti war protests. and the russian citizen petersburg, ah, yes, governor broke out when police moved in to break up a demonstration and detain one of the purchases and thursday, officers arrested more than $1700.00 people taking parties similar rallies across
