12:04 am
discuss the cease fire and cessation of hostilities in the territory of ukraine. huge a. so that of river the negotiations last at approximately 5 hours during which time we went in detail through every point on the agenda. we found a few points that we can use as a prognosis of our joint positions. and the most important is that we agree to continue the process of the negotiations. the negotiations held on the bell roost ukraine boarder lasted 5 hours. there were no breakthroughs. however, the 2 sides agreed to continue talking. in a 2nd session. if anything, the fighting has worsened, shifts not before the talk started. vladimir zalinski called on the e. u to allow his country to join the block and sign that accession document while destroyed or not. he had made another defiant statement, but me stay more mutual on the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the
12:05 am
people of ukraine or them. we stand strongly. we live through that much over these days. what other people wouldn't experienced in decade. oh, in the south of ukraine, where russian forces have advanced and taken the city of burg chance. these are civilians surrounding russian military vehicles. they shouted go home to the troops . oh, such defiance and solidarity? seen all over ukraine. why? it every chow in every city. there's a determination, a resolve to help the war effort in any way people can. a steady stream of donated supplies for the army is being handed over to this voluntary organization in levine. it's helpers who are students, don't believe russia is interested in peace. their fellow fight in us, they're still a launch in there and brackets are on our tertiary and the talks are going on. so i
12:06 am
said, impossible have taught said while fighting us upstairs, donated medical supplies and drugs all day checked, a processed and local stoles ensure they meet a constant demand for soldiers, boots. i and my colleagues are doing all the best here in a safe place to a collect other help from ukraine answered from ukrainians and foreigners all around the world. but no matter how strong the resolve of ukrainian forces might be, these satellites images are now showing an armored column to the north west of give . that's nearly 30 kilometers long. ah. and it's edging closer to the capital now. only 20 kilometers from the city center . andrew simmons al jazeera levine,
12:07 am
and air crisco is that director of the globe sat care policy institute. she joined us via skype from bratislava. thanks very much for being with us. just to start with that the talks they've ended for now, and then people come back to their capitals for negotiations. and do you think these are a genuine attempt to, to end the war, more kind of posturing that's very important as talk so happened. in fact, that's a positive sign, but indeed, it's very difficult to say whether the negotiations are happening in the good faith . i would say that russian troops are continuing their souls on the ukrainian cities. actually, the facts are intensifying the civilian sector of the say this, i've been shout, there is bombs i use. so it's very difficult to say whether there is not only trying to increase the pressure on the ukrainian authority. it's also he might be trying to improve his image both domestically in with the rest of the international community, if he still has any support that, oh,
12:08 am
you mind just still trying to demonstrate that. see, i'm looking for some peaceful resolution, but the negotiations on the go in while also russia is definitely trying to win some extra time. they see that their advances are not go and plan. they see that there are strong unexpectedly strong resistance from the international community. and they're trying somehow, or against the momentum. do i mentioned the pretend think saying that i believe that things haven't gone to, according to plan, is there. and he might change his tactics now to more dangerous tactics. given that things haven't gone the way he might have expected them to go. that seems to be the case right now. before i think that the russian troops were on the order, not the target civilians, not the target, the civilian sectors of the cities. but now the more and more that the charlotte becomes indiscriminate, that the troops given orders to do whatever it takes to make way forward. so there
12:09 am
is definitely concerns that even more tricks will be directed to russia, to ukraine from russia. we'll see that more and more troops. i arrive into bella, ruth waiting and be in credit to be sent for that to ukraine. so likely the fight will intensify further. does anyone in putins, in a circle, have any kind of information on him at this stage making change? course you think it's very difficult to see what seems to be the case is that cotton is increasing, the isolation has been isolation himself during the past few years. for corporate prison, but it's visible that even the in their circle of his advisors, i'm not having such a good access to him and their opinions are increasingly discarded. even the opinions of the oligarchs are now on the severe economic pressure did not seem to be taken very seriously. and that's exactly why the international community, as far as that woodson might have the mind of his own and might be increasingly
12:10 am
irrational to talk to a bit little bit about to better reason. it's one of you areas are expertise that they've approved the constitution change, which allows them to host russian nuclear weapons on the territory. how important to move would you say that is the east nuclear weapons on the territory of bellows. that would definitely change even further. the security situation in the region that said, even before the constitutional change, look, shank effectively lost the silver and say that he had over the country. the territory of bella has already been used as an addendum to the russian territory. russian troops were moving there as will with hardly any additional consent required from the authorities attacks from ukraine. i said, our state from the bellows had surgery, so even without the constitutional changes. luca shanker was already cooperating fully with the military needs of the russian federation. i mean, i could to thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. thank you. thank you so
12:11 am
much. coming up on out as they are this news our the lives of the lives of it is a simply a state you into here to council has told a humanitarian disaster in ukraine must be stopped. ukraine's president appeals for immediate in you membership 8 european nations. say that back the move and an impact chief school for ban on russian and better russian athletes at all international sports events that's coming up in sport. ah, you estimates more than half a 1000000 people have already fled ukraine and thousands more continued to seek refuge, sheltering more than 320000 people. poland is taking the bulk of the burden, but many migrants from africa and asia were trying to leave ukraine. so that being
12:12 am
turned away from the border, so must ravi met with some of them at a reception center in cordova in eastern poland, her refugee crisis on an industrial scale. every person currently housed in this warehouse on the ukraine, poland border had their lives turned upside down. when russia invaded ukraine, the number of people forced to live offers an insight into the enormous scope of this crisis. and still they keep coming bust in from the board away from the war, but now inland were here at one of the many reception centers set up on the ukraine . poland border where people have been telling us how happy and relieved they are to finally be inside poland to have crossed over the border from ukraine. but many people have also been telling us of the indignities that they have suffered on the ukrainian side of the border. people from countries in asia, africa and the middle east were living and working in ukraine when the war began.
12:13 am
weapons of war do not describe. so everyone ran for their lives like foreign citizens, hoping to reach poland to contact diplomatic missions, evacuated torso, you were already lost people with the good to get on entity. those always laid out . so no further put their people 1st and us. i would say for me it was discriminating, but i think for them it's normal because it's their country. they need to save the people. first. some of the people who spoke with said a country at war could be forgiven for putting their own people 1st. but for others, some with ukrainian families of their own. the contrast of how they were treated was to start. we understand that they need to save just citizens, but we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country, we have been long falling jack on to it. we have shown them love. i believe that the list that could do was to evacuate. my thought is that a refugee is a refugee and to refugee is a human being. and it doesn't matter what the skin color, religion, political,
12:14 am
her attitude or whatever that is, if the record she needs help, then we need to help the rectory. the non european refugee is coming into poland. tell stories of generous strangers, giving help shelter, food, and transport. but they also tell stories of guns being pointed at them by ukrainian troops being forced back to make way for ukrainians to get to safe havens 1st. wow. and even in poland, tempers around high. you know, you can talk about the way that we went out a green and i'm so sorry, i respect you as a police officer. but what you guys are doing here is not the job of the county that is so in itself that they are helping refugees coming from you. great. a war as always it seems, brings out the best and worst in people. and even if the fighting stop soon,
12:15 am
i promise, repairing the damage done to all the lives. touched by this crisis will take much longer zane basra, the old 0 cordova eastern portland and your aspect to you in watson. they had a media for the international committee of the red cross. i began by asking him what his colleagues on the ground on the ground seeing well, the painting a very disturbing picture. people are scared, suffering at this point, wondering what is going to become of them. and in need of really some basics. a safe haven, people just don't know which one to 10. we know that people who fled both inside the country and beyond its borders, looking for that safe haven, but of course there's active fighting. and so that's just a very difficult situation for people. and of course, it triggers all the needs beyond food, medical care, shelter,
12:16 am
which are of course key. there are other needs as well, such as well, families get separated from each other and the conflicts you may be detained. you may simply have to leave love ones behind because they may be not able to travel just parasol for people who are in shelters tonight with with health problems, unable to really move and what, what is to become of them. so the situation is extremely difficult and it triggers things like, well, how do i stay in touch my family when the phone lines down, i don't have any tricity. and in all that mental health implications for the population. i just fast and very, very contact you touched on the issue of my food and other basic good to medical and so on. how much should be able to help with that within ukraine itself? and obviously there's, i suppose, another issue of buying help to, to people who are refugees and neighboring countries. well, we are, of course, doing what we can, but we offer straight to it because it's not enough. so we have distributed some
12:17 am
kids to hospitals be upon the ukrainian red cross that will help medical workers treat trauma burn injuries and gunshot wounds. so we're happy about that. but on the other side we are we are often blocked. so for example, truck drivers who are trying today to bring in aid into the country are blocks for days on end because they simply can't get through with the insecurity, with the curfews that have been happening. so it is a frustrating situation for us. we're not able to do as much as we can, and that's why one of the things we're calling for greater humanitarian access, we need safe spaces to do our work today. we've been calling right from the start of the conflict for parties to that conflict, to respect international humanitarian law. and what that really means in basic terms is respect civilian life. don't target attack
12:18 am
should really an infrastructure. i'm not really as critical actually. that last last point, because once you take out water plants, electricity plants, those co components for civilian life, then homes are knocked out. hospital facilities don't work. schools can't function . so it hasn't tremendous knocks on impact for the civilian population. of course, that's what we're seeing today. with shelling of the escalated conflicts, so that is an urgent call for the parties to the conflict that we have because we see the brunt braz on the civilian population. in mentoring coordinator has been raising the security council on the situation on the ground. martin griffiths told members that at least 102 civilians are known to have died. but the figure could be much higher. the lives of millions of civilians simply at the state. we know from other recent conflicts are brutal,
12:19 am
deadly and protracted. warfare can be we know how companies, economies can be devastated, infrastructure investment and development gain back and then time generation. and we know enough to know that we do not know what it will be, the consequences of the events that we have of today. these things should ever happen in any country anywhere. every effort, of course, must be made to deescalate the conflict. shamile thomas says i 1st said the nations she had visit comments for special emergency session of the un general assembly was that convened. that is still under way now be the special emergency session using a mechanism that hasn't successfully been employed since 1982, which is convene when the security tells us deadlocks, because a permanent member is returning a resolution where at speaking number 30 island,
12:20 am
right now, but there are a 111 speakers expected to give an address, so this will go on for some days. we're thinking wednesday is the earliest that a un general assembly non binding resolution will be rated upon the will of the current wedding is now deploy was in the strongest terms, the russian federations, aggression against ukraine, and 80 over 80 co sponsors. now in the general assembly, and you can see to be the u. s. and ukraine, a very keen on traditionally non line staged to countries from the global south to be signing, signing onto this. and, and they do seem to be doing rather well in that regard. but as you said, concurrently with that was a humanitarian briefing at the un security council. there were a few other striking bits of information from the humanitarian coordinator, and the you and hcr, refugee coordinator. that's some 160000 people. the un things are internally
12:21 am
displaced and half a 1000000 have fled ukraine in the past few days. but this is very striking. you and hcr says they're planning for 4000000 refugees, up to 4000000 refugees in the coming days and weeks. and in the meantime, we found that several russian diplomats been expelled in the un. what will contest? yes, this is of instigation of the united states. interesting because the u. s. says they've been working on this for several weeks in fact, but they say that these as 12, russian diplomats being declared persona non grata and the u. s. and that is that they abuse that privileges by engaging and espionage activities. sir. the u. s. sag that they were working on this was some time for several months. in fact, they've been working on this and that these are russian spies that are being spelled from the, from the russian mission to the united nations. the russians say, however, that this is a gross violation of the un charter and the n. a convention by the whole country of the united nations. the u. f. shepherd tansy. thank you very much. cindy western
12:22 am
sanctions are beginning to hammer rushes finances. the rubel plunged by 30 percent a record low at one point trading at $120.00 against the us dollar loan lines outside russian banks and atm. if people rush to get cash out in an emergency, move rushes central bank because more than doubled its key interest rate to 20 percent and introduce some capital controls. bennet smith looks at the effect the sanctions of having on ordinary people. nervous about whether debit and credit cards might stop working a sanctioned bite. some russians a stocking upon cash. soon they'll begin to feel the financial pain of their president's decision to invade ukraine. with interest rates more than doubled 20 percent. and the rubel plunging 30 percent against the dollar, knowing that we are planning to buy a flat. so for us it is very important that we are hoping to have a certain interest rate. now it will be totally different. the way of us, of course i am worried anyway, 1st of all,
12:23 am
the situation with the doll is unclear. and what about foot prices? we are in a bed and situation. there is no way out for people. russians have been promised that central bank reserves of more than $630000000000.00 will help cushion the economy from sanctions. but much of this money is in foreign banks. sanctions will make it very difficult to get any of it back to moscow. one russian economist told al jazeera, it's a completely unprecedented situation for the central bank on friday. central bank in norma reserves to be handled with your tech frozen. and ellen ha is likely to be unusable as well. so this is something where nobody really can imagine what's going on. the central bank says, external conditions for the russian economy have drastically changed in a meeting about sanctions with government ministers vladimir putin described the western community as an empire of lies. russia's economy is also taking it from
12:24 am
western firms, running for the exit, b p. the biggest foreign investor here is abandoning it stake in oil firm rosin act, u. p. s. and fedex have stopped shipping services. half the passenger jet used here are least, and those contracts are being canceled, rushes, political, economic, and physical isolation from the rest of the world is rapidly gathering pace. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow, and us announced additional sanction is against russia's central bank and, and fisher is at the white house 1st. what was the chief allan exactly, what does it mean when they start to freeze the assets of the russian central bank? it means that they can't do any business in the united states, and certainly business people here in the united states can't do any business and russia, those assets are frozen. what's the intention of this, or you remember that on friday, joe biden announced that there was going to be more sanctions against the russian leadership, including so guy lather off, and also vladimir putin said there were more tools in the tool box,
12:25 am
and these are the tools that they've taken out over the we can essentially one senior white house official says that they want to drive the russian economy backwards. of vladimir putin is driving his tax forwards towards ukraine. they want to make sure that inflation goes up. that investment opportunities are don't, and essentially destroys the purchasing power of the kremlin so that if this war goes on, they will not be able to rebuild their military by going out into the international market place and buying any bullets, any tanks, any aircraft, anything like that. essentially no off limits. no joe biden is at a talk with his closest allies and it did had a 90 minute chat at this morning. here in the united states as the disgust usual matters of concern. but no doubt the reporting what the next steps would be if they were to take further action against the russians. the united states has been very keen to make sure that any sanctions are coordinated so that the countries act
12:26 am
together. and also that any sanctions are sustainable so that one country after 2 or 3 weeks says no, we can't do this anymore at we're reading it by ken. so he wants to make sure that they're sustainable and that they continue for some period of time. they're also talking about the possibility of opening up as this to see chic oil reserves, because of course there's going to be real pressure on world all supplies that will drive up prices at the pump for ordinary people. so that's a concern. so they're talking about the possibility of doing that. and of course the u. s. is looking at vladimir putin over the weekend at heightening the alert for his nuclear forces. jane saki, the press secretary is just had a briefing in the white house briefing room. she says that there's no intention for us to change their status at joe biden was at an event celebrating the end of black history month in the white house just a couple of hours ago. at the end of that event, he was asked, should americans be scared about the prospect of nuclear war?
12:27 am
he shut that down very quickly with one answer, 11 answer, which was no. alan fish. thank you very much. still to come this news and sending money, weapons, and even filling for mcdonalds, the civilians join forces with ukrainian soldiers to defend their country. running to help refugees, volunteers in london. so they've been overwhelmed by donations and billions of lives already at risk. millions more on the path to danger un reports as the consequences of climate change will soon be irreversible. ah, there's still plenty of snow falling and to fall in the southeast of europe, circulating rad center of,
12:28 am
of low pressure in the black sea. but what's coming of that landing as looking a bit more like early spring, yet it's talking into it is warm. so if a northern france you're probably going to hit the low teens. non, for example, forties, miserable, weather in london admittedly. but the snow is limited to the higher ground of norway between these 2 areas. this is tuesday, so across the sun should be at no as showing particularly cold weather. no where particularly warm partner part of france either south of that and the sun is i for mr. spain and portugal is proper and wanted rain coming into the northwest of spain, drive, britain, and part of portugal. there's quite a strong wind for which there will be warnings on the creation coast to snow for italy and for the high ground of sicily and obviously greece. but it's easing up in the balkans. that's also true of the strong wind. but if i edge in to was took, you see a lot of snow here for tuesday and probably wednesday rain. we haven't got the heights across cypress, northern syria, and lebanon with sunshine to follow. and it gets even snow. yeah. edgy into
12:29 am
southern caucasus. this during wednesday in north africa caught a strong winds being set up with sand. now jerry, ah, the examining the impact of today's headlines, there are threats to peace and security that don't appear on the tv screens. setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. thousands of palestinians been displaced and having that homes destroyed in that land annex from international filmmakers. m world class journalists, bring programs to inform and inspire you. climate has to become part of the way we tell stories on al jazeera dictatorships, to democracies. activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want you to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil period for public opinion or profit.
12:30 am
once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. the listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you consume. on al jazeera lou. ah, monumental stories here are dessert. russia has roundtop attacks on ukraine's biggest cities. full khaki has been bombed by artillery, possibly kissing killing dozens. with reports that cost to bombs were used. fighting has also been reported in mario pole, and the capital key is bracing for another night of shelling. the 1st round of talks has been held between russian and ukrainian delegations. they metal and
12:31 am
border with bella, bruce, delegations, and our attorneys, the capitals for further consultations and un shantarian coordinators has at least a 102 civilians and known to have died in the fighting. the figure could be much higher, auto. griffith's said more than half a 1000000 people already fled the concrete with thousands more seeking refuge. as russian troops advanced, many civilians are volunteering to fight alongside ukrainian soldiers. charles strapped to reports from therapies, yet in east, in ukraine. civilian volunteers help ukrainian soldiers prepare for a russian army advance. there's a growing sense of urgency in the city of upper risha. ukrainian army says russian tank columns are less than 40 kilometers away. north and nauseous. not only because we didn't invade them, they invaded us. he took crimea, then he took dumbass arno. now he's come to our city. i have children,
12:32 am
but i don't want them. he giving orders on what a war men move equipment along freshly dug trenches on the outskirts of town. they overlooked checkpoints from positions hidden in the trees. this is one of growing number of checkpoints around the city of zap a risha. now most of the men that you see here, a members of the civil defense forces. they are volunteers. they say that the russian army has positioned itself in the next town down this road. the men come from all walks of life cable, which he did over as i need. i wish i remember as a lanier. i used to teach math and physics at my local school, but 2 days ago the russian army took control of my town. so i signed up to fight shopper by the way. restaurants, including the local mcdonalds, have been donating food. pharmacies have given what medicine they can spare for the volunteers to treat the injured hazard. you are, we are here to treat emergencies,
12:33 am
stopping, bleeding. for example. we then take them to hospital, armed volunteers prepared to be taken to positions around the city. morale high, close by a group of men and women, wait to sign on you to fight. you don't show any casual stopper on each. those randomly. i don't want my family killed her. i won't allow them to march in our land, his dad, the occupiers, and they should be eliminated. justin, yes, the law they are, by the way you are, if need be. i will fight, give me a weapon. i want to poison him. why? the young and old help fill bottles with petro. yes, molotov cocktails for those who want to fight, but don't have a gun. yeah, jim, yeah, actually i have a family, i can't do anything else to help them clearly, but we are honest and bright people, but the situation is dark right now. a people prepared to defend their city against an invader. they know it's close to drop it down to 0. 0 risha, eastern ukraine. presidents of 8 central and eastern european nations have cooled
12:34 am
on the e. u to grant ukraine candidate countries status immediately. and open membership talks. ukraine's president formerly applied for his country to join you on monday in open letter. the country said we the presidents of the you member states guerria the public, estonia, latvia, this you and your poland, savant care, and lavinia strongly believe that ukraine deserves receiving an immediate. you exception perspective, where you says it will increase military support to ukraine on different magic. it's a james base has the details from brussels. european defense ministers met by video link to discuss the plan, to send weapons to ukraine. a package that is unprecedented in size over $500000000.00. they discussed where to get the weapons from what exactly to buy and how to send them to ukraine. none of those details will made public. so this is what the european hi representative said to know that this have
12:35 am
a 1000000000 viewed as will be devoted to provide defensive arms. but i kind of arms anti thanks. all kind of agreements in order to re health digression and member to state have to provide this armed with how to coordinate with what that they are doing. what we can do additionally with these resources in recent hours, the ukrainian president has signed a decree formally requesting membership of the european union. and that membership be fast tracked. that's something that clearly will be discussed on the margins and meetings here in europe in the coming days. but membership of the european union is a very, very long process. and there's no way ukraine will become a member any time soon. the office of the prosecutor, the international criminal court, said it will seek approval to open an investigation into alleged war crimes in
12:36 am
ukraine. and our fears that russia's military tactics could become more aggressive in the coming days with evidence that cluster bombs are being used. a move which could constitute a war crime or cluster bombs, explode in the air and dispersed. hundreds of smaller explosives over a large area. their production and use is banned by more than a 100 states under the 2008 convention on cluster munitions. it's believed explosions in the city of car here on monday were caused by cluster bombs. but the weapons already been linked to an attack on february 24th on hospital in the next region, and a nursery in sumi o blast a day later. there's also growing concerned that russia could deploy thermo barrick weapons, sometimes called vacuum bombs. they're filled with high pressure explosives which absorb oxygen from the surrounding air, creating a powerful blast. and rushes defense ministry says it's nuclear missile forces, and northern and pacific fleets are on enhanced combat duty after an order by president vladimir putin. simon,
12:37 am
romanies or politics at international relations specialist at the university of oxford. he's also an associate fellow with the royal united services institute for defense and security studies. he joins, as far as i got from oxford. thanks very much indeed for being with us. just to pick up on, on that last point about to putin ordering and putting his, raising the alert for the nuclear low level. in response the u. s. a said they, they're not going to change their level. did it see the russian move as a kind of a move to escalate so that they can then deescalate? well, how do you interpret it? well, it's got entirely unprecedented for russia to dangle the nuclear card. when ever deb vitamin putin is tested out new technology for marcia, they've often shown death, simulations of missiles striking florida. and also important to keep in mind that these comments are coincided with both the imposition of extensive factions against russia, as well as bela ruses, nuclear random, which is talking about deploying nuclear weapons on beller ocean soil. i think that the bell russian issue is a much bigger threat than ethan russia's doing. the nuclear is fair. and terms of
12:38 am
the situation on the ground. at the moment i'm in the russian advance. so would you say that russia did underestimate and ukraine's ability to resist and perhaps overestimate the amenities of its own troops? and is that why perhaps with seeing a suggestion they might move to other tactics like you increasingly using cluster munitions as own so absolutely. i think that brushing strategy hinged upon a very swift regime change mission a blitz into he have to change the government. and that's very clearly not happening. over the course of the past 5 days, russia struggle to hold territory and guard heave and even areas much closer to with the next territory, like maria paul, which is supposed to crimea. so i absolutely believe the rush is going to expand the scope of it's a military interventions, particularly against gavin gar, cave and scamper, noticing the movement of bar scale up to one voice. and in deb car here, just over the past few hours, you've seen rush, upgrading it's air force deployments from su, 20 fours to much more lethal f su 30 vos housing. if it does it that the cranes
12:39 am
still still appear to have control of the skies or do they will the rinney's cilla control over the skies in the areas that our russia has non occupied totally. and a ukrainian air force is proven to be much more resilient than many people have given a credit for. and now with the arrival of other weaponry, like casting grande tank missiles and a turkish drones broucher t b choose being used against russian assets. i suspect that ukrainian military will be more resilient on air, on land for some time. now we had that to us from the russian form, as she said, only that the use actions. in other words, i suppose. so some of the provision of aid military, a, particularly a went be left without quote, a hash responds. what to expect that to be didn't expect that to be something military or cyber attacks. what would you thinking or rushes of purely worn, that this is a local matter and lighter impute and even stated when the war started, that any attempt interfere by western powers will be met by
12:40 am
a response that no one's ever seen before. but in reality, russia much like the western countries are not really willing to test article 5 and invoke the prospect of a nuclear war over ukraine by targeting western countries. so i think that the more it most likely yeah, development that would likely follow is probably cyber attacks launch against countries or seen g particularly involved in the supply of military equipment. i know from talking to a people in britain, in the finance actually just today their concerns at cyber dance could even target britain because of its early role. india supporting rushes removed from swift. you mentioned nautical 5, the the principle of collective defense on to which would tackle one ally would be a technical member states for nato. nato's previously sentence that a significant cyber attack could fall under optical filed evidence as a spell out quite how severe that would have to be it. do you think that that's something that's likely would you think that was to kind of be kept off the table at the station in order to not have an escalation? well say this is a touchy to determine whether cyber attacks could actually trigger an article via
12:41 am
response from meadow. he hasn't really been clear from the native side exactly what the threshold would be. procession escalations. that's important to keep in mind if the european union has imposed sanctions on actors in russia as well as other countries like china and north korea for their involve in december dax. but they also don't have a very clear security doctor on what to do. and when cyber attacks were launched against ukraine, prior to the imposition, the compet, a small group of hawkish european states. i, denmark and romania wanted preemptive sanctions. but the vast majority of countries really didn't want you. i don't suspect the cyber attacks will eat you crippling new sanctions on russia to a descent that's possible or a more aggressive article vibe response. and just briefly had how much you see there being a risk to, to putins government from all of this. well, the situation economically inside russia is dire right now. this bank runs this concerns about deaf food insecurity. this is reminding me, notches of the 9 candy rubel rises, but also of yakama crisis inter mall that we saw during the early 19 nineties. so
12:42 am
for an entire generation of russians, or we're seeing right now is somewhat uncharted and somewhat unprecedented. and it's clear to that the longer the war last, even if russia continues to suppress the movement of information about casualties internally, it's gonna lead to a reduction in the popularity of the war. only 36 percent of russians supported prior to the war. we integrated ukraine by force and that number, i think will dwindle further as the work linger is nicki nomic sanctions begin to buy salmon romani. thank you very much indeed for i told her psyche and you now here in london, people have been a donation. huge volumes of supplies for ukrainians in need volunteers and they've been inundated by people trying to help johnny angela sent this update from london . this highly 7000 is being overwhelmed with donations. you can seen those hinge children with clothes and shoes,
