what we do at al serra is site to balance this story and leave the people who allow it into their lives, dignity, and humanity, ah, fighting reaches the streets of the ukrainian capital key, f as russia continuums its invasion. ah, hello welcome. i'm heated over, you're watching out 0 with our continuing coverage of ukraine. in a new video message, the president laudermill zalinski says the ukranian army will not surrender thousands of ukrainians, flee across the border into northern romania as the russian attacks intensify.

russia vetoes a un security council resolution deploring quotes, aggression in ukraine, china of stains from voting ah it's now more than 72 hours since russia began its land, sea and air invasion of ukraine. russian forces half already made their way into the capital key, f. fighting and destroying cities bordering it is the latest information residence . awaking up to these images of their city after another night, with loud explosions and firing russian troops had been seen inside mulatto paul in the southeast. it witnessed heavy fighting on friday. the ukrainian military command says cruise missiles, who, being launched from the black seat on friday, russian forces captured an island there after ukrainians refused to surrender. ukraine's presidential office says more in 3500 russian service personnel had been

kit, had been killed and almost 200 were captured. this has not been verified in another video message. the ukranian president bloody me, as the lensky has about to continue fighting. uncle granger, good morning, ukrainians. there has been a lot of fake information online saying that i am calling on me to lay down and to evacuate. listen, i am here. we will not lay down any weapons. we will defend our state because our weapon is out. truth, and the truth is that this is our land, our country, and our children, and we will defend all of that. that's all i wanted to tell you, gloried to ukraine was ok, we will go to my kind of in washington in a moment. first, let's go live to under simmons, who's in the capital, the key for us. so, andrew, what's your reading of what we've been hearing from mr. lensky overnight?

was lensky has never said he will contemplate surrender. he did ask for talks with vladimir putin and he was given an impossible situation there, or whether it, whether it's only an offer to have talks about peace if he was to surrender. and those talks would have to be with victor lucas shanker in minsk, the capital of bella, luce. so this is now he will appear, he thinks things are in their final stages. but he's reliance on the strength of will, of his forces to take on the russians because the situation is getting harder and harder by the hour of the position now is something of a low up. but no, the, the feeling is that the final battle forgive, is beginning. it may be beginning, andrew, but is there a sense that the russian forces haven't achieved what they wanted to achieve by

this the beginning of day 3? i think it, there is a, the, there is an overwhelming force here, but the russians have been held back. it would seem, with fierce, more fierce resistance than they had contemplated. they had expected. they've taken heavier losses. undoubtedly, at the latest reports we have is that to illusion a 76 troop carriers transport carriers for the, the russian air force have been shot down 185 kilometers from the capitol. the other about 25 kilometers said to have been shot down near an air field. now these reports haven't been verified yet, but we're why our agencies are quoting american sources as confirming at figure of to for those those transport planes. they carry more than a 100 paratroopers plus equipment,

and we do know that other planes have got through and, and power troopers have been deployed in areas that near the capital. special forces also. and the armored columns are coming from all directions. the one that was advancing from the west was taken on and repelled by armor from the ukrainians, and also miss isles. that was actually answer a place called but, but said cas county, and this was a metro station in the suburbs, but we're talking now really of the fighting going on in a 7 kilometer radius of where i'm standing in is it is here that the public buildings are standing with an damaged at this stage there's the erie stillness. but then when the fighting starts is just a cacophony of wailing air, raid sirens, and crunches, and smashes. and that all the things you'd expect, i mean,

pretty horrendous. 24 hours and very few people have slept overnight. and when it turns quite it andrew in the morning as it seems to do on a regular basis. now this is day 3 as, as, as we were discussing. is that part of the plan? is that part of the tactic, or is it just that it's easier for the russians to try and do what they're trying to do under cover of darkness. i'm not a military analyst, but i would, i would certainly point to that last remark you made cover of darkness is always an asset to an invading force and it's harder to defend. so yes, this, this has been happening overnight was probably the biggest push on the capital so far, but of course, intense fighting all over this country with the russian navy engaging the ukranian navy as well. one battleship from ukrainian navy has been hit. that's

another report that hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's a pretty hazardous situation for everyone, particularly the civilians, obviously, any glimpse of diplomacy, any glimpse of any one. talking to any one else. it would appear not certainly un security council would you be hearing about from mike and show later. but is, is, is it is yet another stamp of, of disaster on any prospect for negotiations. or we had zalinski trying to engage calling those extraordinary calls for europeans to lobby their, their governments to do more, to actually try to get served. russia brought to heal by strongest sanctions. but that is not going to happen. it would seem, although if the ukrainians can hold on the issue is how long can they hold on? could that be more diplomatic measures? if more pressure was put on russia, then that is the real issue right now is how long can the ukrainian forces keep

defending the capital and the other major cities that no one has to look at those as well? yes, right now there is a priority in military terms and taking the capital and the landscape. zalinski says that he is the main targets along with the leadership and he's even said that his family is, is the main target as well. so this is a position now where let the talk, the clock is ticking in every way, militarily, in terms of how long can people keep the defences going. and how long could diplomacy that the chances of diplomacy last, i'd say very, very limited indeed. and for the people, the anger amongst the people is extraordinary. the resolve of the fighters is absolutely extraordinary as well because the landscape said one more thing. it was a very short address and it was right outside the presidential offices. we've

identified those without any shadow of doubt and he was saying, but that he respected the bravery of his fighters. he quoted from that a military officer who had reported back on i'm one of the soldiers going on to a bridge main bridge on one of the access routes into the capital. having to defend it because of what was going on all around him. he went to detonate the bridge to explode. it not lost his life in the process. it was an act of ultimate courage under thank you very much. and as soon as they are joining his life from kia with the very latest, but what's going on in and around the cleaning capital live now, as andrew was saying, that to my kind of correspondent in washington. so mike, as far as mister zalinski relationship with the u. s. is concerned, it's a case of thanks, but no thanks. i don't want you to evacuate me. what it would appear to be so they have been very sir reports that the u. s. is offered

to help evacuated the ukranian president, but at the stage certainly appears to be the very opposite in terms of what he would want. administration official has confirmed that the have been discussions with president lensky about where he would be safe to ensure the continuity of the ukrainian government. and on thursday, the press, the tree at the white house was off, directly with us, was going to offer assistance. and she said that they have been discussions about the various ways in which the u. s. can assist the ukrainian precedent. but that would not give any further details because she said security concerns. but as we heard the prevent through the presidents, lensky is insistent that he's not going anywhere with or without anybody's help. and what's the nature of this aid package that the u. s. has just announced as well?

well, this is a direct instruction from president biden to the secretary of state to re release $350000000.00 worth of military assistance. now a lot of this is still for training purposes as much of the money in the last year . some $650000000.00 has been assigned to. however, specifically, it's also stated that there is some contents of military equipment within this package. what it is not quite clear at speculation is that it involves items like japanese muscles. but what we are hearing as well is that this is a presidential instruction. and it's done under a presidential regulation, which allows the president to apportion such money or in the apportionment of such money without consulting congress now on a separate issue. congress in the coming week is continuing to debate a mess of $650000000000.00 budget for humanitarian relief been ukraine.

so it's happening on all sorts of levels. but the 350000000 that president biden has instructed be released as that is in terms of an ongoing program of assistance to ukraine as particularly with regard to trading. but there again, you've got the issue logistically given the situation in ukraine, very difficult to see how any aid can get across the board. is that the particular type mike understood. thanks so much. my candidate joining us from washington. well, the un security council in new york failed to adopt a resolution condemning the invasion of ukraine, russia, vito, the votes that would have confirmed the sovereignty of ukraine, and demanded that russia immediately withdraw its forces. she returns, he picks up the story 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 so on 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 used 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 ukranian people. the russian, i'm baset accounted that the resolution was imbalanced for not mentioning the shelling of don bounced by the ukranian government, nor the failure by kiev and the west to implement the 2015 piece deal. and he added this. now, i'm going 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 waging once again

agreed with russia that the crisis had developed over time as a result of nature's disregard for russia, security and caution. the security council taking any action should be truly conducive to defusing the crisis rather than adding fuel to the fire ukrainian bassinger accuse his russian counterpart of having no idea what was in vladimir hooton's 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 automated days if you do not believe in god for peace. it's 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 vito already. it appears to have the support of more than 80 of the us $193.00

member states. she ever time see al jazeera, the united nations, well nato ascending thousands of troops by land, by air, and by a seat to protect allies near russia and ukraine. the secretary general, yeah, and stilton berg has called the crisis a new normal in european security. it comes after the ukrainian president, mr. zalinski criticized the alliance for not coming to his country's aid. our diplomatic editor james bays is in 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 turn the cranial forces are fighting bravely and are actually able to inflict damage on the other invading russian forces. ah, but again, it is a very fluid, under anglo or an evolving situation. nato allies expressed her at them or some it today that they are, they are provide support to ukraine. they are ready to continue to roads report to ukraine here at nato headquarters. the plan is to fully protect their members on the eastern front, the country's 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 co ordinated asset. 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. the un says about $5000000.00 people could flee the fighting in ukraine into neighboring countries, and more than $1000000000.00 will be required for 8 operations over the coming 3 months. many and kia have been crowding into train and metro stations. they're either trying to leave or they are looking for shelter is alexi o'brien. 2 taylor, cynthia is now since june, so the train station desperate to leave the ukrainian capital soldiers reportedly

fired into the air to the space, the crowd. so again, with those as the throng, they've been trying to leave all day from the morning here. that as you can see, that's an alistair russian troops are edging closer with explosions. heard around the city. and yeah, this apartment block with him. yes, follow. 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. gl anchor made it out alive, and emergency workers went door to door, searching for victims. and just russian tanks rolled into the city below ground. people crowded into metro stations, exhausted and uncertain about wants to come home with them. are you 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 shy thing. but the united nation says the number seeking refuge outside ukraine could reach 5000000. gladly 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. all these families have crossed the border into hungry, hoping it won't be too long before they can return. rama bunker. there are long queues at all the banks and the gems have been emptied. there are throngs 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 walked 18 hours to get here. many with young children

escape and what rights group say indiscriminate attacks by russian forces. he can have her theat thinking crania national anthem. she flew her after the attack would go good enough, despite the devastation. an air of defiance remains alexia bryan al jazeera. while the russian president vladimir putin has encouraged ukrainian soldiers to seize power in his latest on camera address, bernard smith, as moron, but from moscow. this was an hour long speech from vladimir putin, in which he ex, 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 ukrainian 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 brit when the soviet union broke up. he blamed, ain't accused nato, have 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 minx 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 and ukraine in say, in said vladimir putin has said that it hasn't worked. that isn't working. i am now going to give a 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. we are to slab your ashes. the youngest member of the ukrainian parliament, he says, the residents of kia will defend their city from the russian forces. the reality is that the phones 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 taking weapons that were distributed basically when trucks arriving with all the guns you could imagine so that people can try and take them up and push on the russian rates in every way they can from my country. this is a moment to greatest test in its existence. we need to handle that test and assets to continue on building our state state future

in my fall grandfather, the great grandfathers were fighting for this child. so we're dying for the show speed and the 2nd war in terms of a kremlin soviet experiments. and now it is all time to have the same test and we are going to we're going to, we're going to with ok. let's just show you what's going on live there. as you can see, the aftermath of a missile strike on an apartment building in key of all the news agencies of zeroed in on this, that kind of dovetails or mirrors are only reporting, talking about those reports of cruise missiles being launched from southern ukraine down towards crimea this cruise missiles lost from russia, naval ships, some of them are certainly about key f apartment. apartment building has been hit. you can see a rescue worker there as well. trying his very,

very best to see if there's anyone still in the immediate vicinity of what was a decent sized apartment until that missile slammed into it as is the way with these things. we're getting this kind of slow motion replay of all the different aspects of this crisis in parallel to this, we're having, we're hearing things like comments from the french president in manuel macro. he's now gone public and saying the wills should get ready for a very, very long conflict around ukraine. the key thing about what's going on there right now, if you imagine a clock face on top of the city, the russian forces are basically in circling or trying to encircle the city. and they've managed to get their people, their troops, their tanks from about midnight to 9 pm on the clock face on top of the city. they have not managed to get their people around the city from midnight to 3 pm and from 3 pm to 6 pm from 6 pm to 9 pm. this is day 3. this is clearly not

going according to plan. that's what every military analyst is telling us. as we look at these pictures on al jazeera, that this is not gone to the schedule that they thought they could dictate and go with part of the reason, according to the military analysts that we've been talking to. part of the reason for that is the russian forces. very, very good. fighting on the countryside, very, very good, a crossing borders. and literally, when it comes to a very badly, very weekly protected border area where russia and bella roost and ukraine came together because there's that sort of triangular apex, where the border comes together up north, which was essentially east of the border with bella. ru swear, bella roost joins russia and it joins ukraine. they're very good at rolling across areas like that. but when they get into urban village town areas, the ukrainians have the home field advantage. and that is the speculation as to why it has taken up until now for the russians to achieve what they have undoubtedly

achieve. because what you're looking at right now is, i guess, from a russian point of view, a military success story. and they are, according to these reports, using a cruise missiles augmented by tanks and apc's rolling across the border, rolling towards the end point of trying to eva encircle the cleaning capital key f or go in to it because the symbolism of that would not be lost on anyone and they have said they are going to go after mister zalinski, the ukranian president. he has said they are going to come off to me. and he is in the presidential residence in kiev because he's filmed himself outside the presidential residence in kiev. so those are the latest pictures, the immediate aftermath of that missile strike on that apartment building in the ukrainian capital. well, a ukrainian soldier as being praised as a hero,

after sacrificing his life to slow down the advancing russian army, italy scott coon oblong, mia. ravage was part of a team that was supposed to blow up a bridge and the southern fis and region the bridge was mind, but the ukranian army had no time to detonate remotely. he volunteered and did it manually. the conflict in ukraine means millions might have to pay more for bread. weak prices have jumped to a 13 year high with investors worried about supply disruptions. about 30 percent of global heat exports are supplied by ukraine and russia. ukraine sends 95 percent of his grade through the black sea, but his ports about come under attack in 2020 more than 50 percent of ukraine suites. exports went to countries in the at least half of lebanon's and 43 percent of libya. sweets imports are from ukraine, egypt says the world's largest importer of wheat. alex smith is the food and

agriculture analyst with the breakthrough institutes. he says, those rising food costs will depend on how long the conflict in ukraine goes on for . the credit is one of the most important producers in the world. the product program, ukraine is the 3rd largest we coordinate from the world and we explore and their, their lead especially goes to a lot of lower and middle in some countries around the world. and especially in the middle east, well bred prices make it sort of the bulk of the me, prices and prices of other areas for products that depend on those commodities, crops, or for production are going to be impacted. and going back to the air spring, i think it's, it's a fairly sort of common assertion that bread prices and price general food was the main driver of this sort of political instability. and so you can see political instability. you can see food security and you know, in the worst case,

hunger and right. it really is dependent on, you know, the extent of this crisis and how long the rushing will last and how long there can be disruptions. that's when we really see sort of crisis. okay, we're gonna take a short break. now when we come back, we'll speak to a one that ukrainian civilian who's doing all he can for the war effort, plus, oh, protests around the world in support of the people of ukraine and sport reacting to the russian invasion of ukraine with st. petersburg strips of this she is champions league final. it's going to paris ah.
