the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the people of ukraine. we stand strong, but we've lived through that much over the past days. what other people wouldn't experience and decades net. ah, in the south of ukraine where russian forces have advanced and taken the city of burg, jensen. these are civilians surrounding russian military vehicles. they shouted go home to the troops. such defiance and solidarity is seen all over ukraine. wow. it every chow in every city. there is 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. they're still fighting us. they are still launching their brackets there on our tertiary and the talks are going on. so i said, impossible had taught it while fighting us upstairs, donated medical supplies and drugs, all date checked, a processed and local stores 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 the crane answer from ukrainians and foreigners all around the world. but no matter how strong the resolve of ukrainian forces might be, these satellite 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 in this, in sandra, filed his report. we understand that that convoy he was talking about is now roughly 64 kilometers long, so positioned to the north of the capital q for large as it is. our son is in the capital and he describes loud explosions. and we not know that sirens have been sounding in the city of philosophy to give more of them home to it was a difficult and hard day for people here and keep our many residents made the decision to either seek shelter or flee the capital. today we witnessed many families carrying their luggage and making their way by foot to the main train station before the curfew is put in place. despite talks between russia and ukraine on the belly, mercy and border, i don't want to draw conclusions. however, it is clear that things have not gone well, because shortly after the talks ended, the bombings intensified. we heard loud explosions that shook the capital, probably the loudest explosions that we've heard so far. and according to the mayor

of brewery, a city in the suburbs of keys, missiles have targeted the city agenda. and as we mentioned, your claims president has called for a no fly zone to stop russian strikes. are you feeling you wouldn't, you know, still got a lot of russian forces, severely shout, garcia, or houses were destroyed. a lot of infrastructure was destroyed. video has proven that the target people building up the war cry and that should be investigated. and no one will ever forgive you for targeting civilians, the ballistic missile artillery. this war has to be stopped immediately. i suggest, and i believe that the sky and he will be close to russia. cut volker is a former us ambassador to nato, and he says the lions should seriously consider president lindsey's request. i do think it's a relevant idea. we should been listening carefully to presidents on the, on this. i think if it were over keith and western ukraine, it could be effective and helping preserve the capital, helping deserve the crane armed forces so that they can defend their country. if

russia decides to pursue its attacks on ukraine through the aerospace and challenge nato fighters, that would be producing a no fly zone. so we put them in direct conflict. hopefully russia would not do that. we can't guarantee they're acting irrationally right now. but we are seeing russian attacks on civilian population of war crime. we are seeing russian attacks on nuclear reactors and nuclear waste storage facilities. these are all things that really devastating to ukrainian population crane. and i do think that there is a responsibility we protect. russia took a lower tempo of operations over the past day and a half in order to move in. additional supplies, reinforcements, and fuel bring forces closer to a mass around here. and i believe this evening and tomorrow and all evening, all night they will be bombarding, gave,

with everything they've got in order to try to break the city. so this is why these ideas of additional anti aircraft, munitions for the premiums, no fly zone additional javelin missiles to take out on the columns. all of the things are essential now, was dotson ships move further into ukraine? many civilians are volunteering to fight alongside ukrainian soldiers and defend their towns and cities. shall stafford reports from the efforts. yeah, in eastern ukraine. civilian volunteers help ukrainian soldiers prepare for a russian army advance. there's a growing sense of urgency in the city of the upper easier ukrainian army says russian tank columns are less than 40 kilometers away north nauseous leave to collide. we didn't invite them. they invaded us. he took crimea, then he took dumbass. i know now he's come to our city. i have children, i don't want them. he giving orders o men move equipment along freshly dug trenches on the outskirts of town.

be fast tracked. that's something that clearly will be discussed on the margins 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. i still hadn't always had a rich rebellion, why? some russian oligarchs are turning their backs on the kremlin. i'm snubbed by the world of sports. russia is banned from more international competitions. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies. the winter sponsored my cattle airways. now there are no existing warnings of any significance throughout japan. the snow is going to be quite noticeable in her cardi of the range can be quite noticeable in hon shoop, but it's not warrantable, never as miserable looking day, i think as i get when the tuesday, despite it being 18 degrees in turkey,

a reminder of our top story is this. our rush is drive towards ukraine's capital is now entering a 60 day, getting reports the dozens of people have been killed and injured in the 2nd largest city hawkins. the cranium president, flooding is the landscape calling for a no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. russian forces that are accused of using cluster bombs, which are banned in more than $100.00 countries. and it comes as a huge rush and convoy advances on kia satellite images show. hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, and support vehicles. just 20 kilometers from the center of the capitol. when the photos were taken, united nations humanitarian coordinators been briefing the un security council all the war. martin griffiths told members at least a 102 civilians have died box. the figure could be much higher. the lives of millions of civilians, of simply at the stake. we know from other recent conflicts are brutal,

deadly and protracted. urban warfare can be we have something called me can be devastated infrastructure investment and development gains back in time generation. and we know enough to know that we should never happen in any country. anyway, every effort, of course, must be made to deescalate the conflict. the us is expelling 12 russian diplomats from moscow's mission to the united nations and new york. washington is accused of espionage, but russia says the move violates un rules $200.00 times. he has more from the united nations in new york. the u. s. as it's been working on expelling the 12 russian diplomats for months, accusing them of exploiting their diplomatic privileges to engage in espionage. russia says the u. s. is in violation of both the un charter and the vienna convention. the news was confirmed by the us at a special un security council meeting convene to discuss the humanitarian situation

in ukraine. out that leasing un representative said that they feared the worst. i regret to say that unless there is an immediate call to conflict, ukrainians will simply continue to flee. we are currently planning, i repeat, planning for up to 4000000 refugees in the coming days and weeks. such a rapid increase would be a huge burden for receiving states and would no doubt stress reception systems and related resources out of the security council that so to did the un general assembly. the 1st of several days of speech is to discuss the situation in ukraine. it's expected it will culminate with a voting on a resolution, a non binding general assembly resolution that will deplore the russian action and ukraine russians assorted to feel the financial pressure of western sanctions. the

rural sank almost 30 percent against the dollar, and that was before the u. s. financed additional restrictions against its central bank. bernard smith, as more from moscow, nervous about where the debate and credit cards might stop working a sanctioned bite. some russians 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 fled to. so for us, it is very important that we were hoping to have a certain interest rate. now it will be totally different. the waiver, of course, i am worried anyway. first of all, the situation of the dollar is unclear. and what about foot prices? we are in a debt and situation. there is no way out for people. russians have been promised that central bank reserves of more than $630000000000.00 will help cushing 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 head in normal reserve to be happily with your can frozen. and eleanor 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 western firms, running for the exit b p. the biggest part investor here is abandoning stake in oil firm ross. net u. p. s and fedex. shipping services, half the passenger jets used are leased on those contracts being canceled, rushes, political,

economic and physical isolation from the rest of the world is rapidly gathering pace. bernard smith, islanders era, moscow. all sizes are continually to seek refuge outside ukraine. poland is shuffling more than 320000 people, but many migrants from africa and asia say they're being turned away from the border. same bust off has met some of them at a reception center in kosovo in eastern poland. a 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 like this, 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. we're 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. that many people have also been telling us of the indignities that. ready 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. weapons of war do not discriminate. so everyone ran for their lives like foreign citizens, hoping to reach poland to contact diplomatic missions, evacuated torso, we were already lost people to good to get on entity. those always laid out. so no further put their people 1st and us. i'll say for me it was discriminating, but i think for them it's normal because it's their contra denita received their people 1st. 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 da citizens,

but we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country, we have been long falling our country. we have shown them love, i believed that the least it could do was to, if i quit, was my thought is that in refugees a refugee into refugees, a human being. and it doesn't matter what, what does skin color, religion, political attitude or whatever that is, if the records he needs help, then we need to help the refugee, the non european refugees 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 run high. you know, you can't tell either. way that we went out weren't 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 stopped soon, moment repairing the damage done to all the lives touched by this crisis. it will take much longer than i zane basra, the ultra 0 cordova eastern pulled up more european countries of sending aid to ukraine. the italian red cross is preparing trucks of food medicines and blankets. ukrainians in rome of collected thousands of boxes of baby food, nappies and pastor, and the italian government is allocated a $122000000.00 to help you craniums fleet. the fighting turkey is activating a 90 year old international treaty to prevent warships from passing through to key waterways. 1936 montoya convention gives it authority to close the darnell and

boston straits in times of war. president, richard, ty, about a man says the decision could prevent the crisis from escalating. dozens of volunteers from georgia are signing up to fight russian forces in ukraine. we gathered outside the ukrainian amber seem to be seen on monday. it follows an appeal for help by ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. the georgian legion is the largest foreign part of military force operating in eastern ukraine. me, while some of the wealthiest oligarchs in russia, known for having close ties to the kremlin, are speaking out against the war in ukraine. it comes as the value of the russian rouble has plummeted, costing the richest billions of dollars on a board among the reports. this room on abram of ich russian billionaire, an owner of premier league football club, chelsea, he's handed over control of the club and now has a new goal. he's accepted ukraine's requests to negotiate with russia to end the

war. abramivitch has remained tight lipped about his stone. unlike some billionaire businessman once close to russian president vladimir putin, now openly criticizing its decision to wage war. although dora pasco, he's known for touring lavish parties of deaf off and make me a fortune from energy and allah minion. he's been sanctioned by the us since 2018 for his close ties to putin. on telegram, he caught the peace and negotiations is causing deep uneasy. among rocca's elites are those who depend on access to the global financial system. and these people are the stainless and enablers and supporters of the putting regime. so on this, as on every other political front of, since the beginning of this unnecessary war, putin finds himself worse off,

not better off one of russia's richest men behind friedman caught for an end to the bloodshed in a letter to his london based private equity firm. and ukrainian bond businessman demitra fear. tasha is also opposing the war. he previously followed money into ukraine's campaigns. the pro russian politicians the bloomberg billionaires index shows within 24 hours at the start of war, 22 of russia's richest people for 39000000000 network. wiped out and it's not just only got speaking out russian businessman or the tin cough is the founder of one of the world's largest online banks. but has no political ties to the kremlin. he says, innocent people are dying in ukraine and that he's against the war. but opinion is divided on whether this will make an impact. the business men are heavily idea

spoken quite openly about jar visa, about the need to somehow somehow change and, and these conflict. but i don't think that it will have a direct impact on the rational policy. most of russia's political elite has stood firm with the president, but will those he broke rank put pressure on pu 10 and will others follow? laura burton money al jazeera, an international sporting agencies are turning their backs on russia. the governing bodies of global and european football are bonding russian teams from all international competitions. under liberty, officials are asking other sports organizations to blacklist athletes from russia and bella was international football. journalist gavin hamilton says this was all inevitable. well, i think that there, i think they police that they decided to take a stand because they felt by strongly and the pressure came from the planet. the

plan was one leading the opposition to russia. the federations responded to the, the players strength of opinions. and now we sold it in current, but it's taken time and they will be never to the criticism of president john, the inventor, you know, because he's seen as a friend of letting me put in. he enjoys the photo which is recruiting and other world leaders and zone the he some he's going to take a bit of flack of him for the way the hide in this thing. they been bounced into it really by the i see the international committee announcing a few hours earlier that they were going to band will actually rushing from competing competition. so fetus positions been really caused by the i see, but i think there was also going international pressure on, on, speaker to acts. and of course the, the teams that were possibly going to be facing russia in the work of play off nice . the fall in sweden and the republic they refused, they said that they refused to play russia in the work qualify player next month.

so that's forced the issue with the for, but it's been quite a turn around because they were with the slowest the good sports organization to, to take the stand against the russian base. and if you cry, you can find much more about ukraine on our website. the address for that is al jazeera dot com. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories. russia's drive towards the cranes capital is now entering a 6 the day we've been getting reports, the dozens of people that been killed and injured in the 2nd largest city cock eve, russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs which are banned in.
