we have been long falling jack on to it. we have shown them love. i believed that the least that could do was to about quit and allegations of racism at ukraine's border with poland as some foreign citizens complain that being turned away ah. moscow's pushed towards ukraine's capital has now entered its 6 day a russian convoy thought to be more than 60 kilometers long. they said to be advancing on keep twice the length is previously thought. it's understood to be positioned north of the capitol. we've also been getting reports of dozens of people being killed and injured in the 2nd largest city car cave. fighting's also been reported in mary, a pole, and the capital key is bracing for more shelling. ukrainian president brought him as the lensky coating for no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. in khaki, russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs. these are banned in more than

a 100 countries. more than a 1000000 people that fled the country. while international criminal court is to investigate russia's invasion of ukraine, it says there's reason to believe war crimes have been committed negotiations between the 2 countries to place at the bellows border on monday, but no agreement was reached under simmons begins are coverage now from the vin wow, little action speaks louder than words. this is the message, russia sentences, their delegates, were talking with ukraine negotiators for billions attacked in their homes over 90 ukrainian authorities report deaths and schools of injuries in hoc heave attacks. targeted civilian areas in and around ukraine's 2nd city. they appeared to include cluster munitions. ah, by nightfall on monday the capital key of came under heavy russian bombardment. just as the talks were winding up for the day. brave crania,

and the russian delegations today held the 1st round of dogs. the main aim of reach was to discuss the ceasefire and the sation of hostilities in the territory of ukraine. he just saw that the river, the negotiations lasted 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 about joint positions. and the most important is that we agreed to continue the process of the negotiations. the negotiations held on the bella luce, 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 shift not before the talk started vladimir zalinski called on the e. u to allow his country to join the block and signed the next session. you talk to him about this quote or not. he had made another defiant statement,

but me stay more mitchell on the 5th day of the full scale war of russia against the people of ukraine than 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'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. they're still fighting us. they are still a launch in 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 bass here in a safe place to a collect other help from ukraine and from your finance and foreign airs all around the world. but no matter how strong the resolve of ukrainian forces might be, these satellite images are now showing an ahmed column to the north west of ki, if 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. while i was here as much as hassan, as in the capital, he described hearing loud explosions. a want of lawson with the give it more of a. mm hm. yep. do it was a difficult and hard day for people here in keith. how many residents made the decision to either seek shelter or fleet 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 bell, a ruffian 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 of probably the loudest explosions that we've heard so far. and according to the mayor of bravery, a city in the suburbs of keys, missiles have targeted the city agenda. but it was, he mentioned ukraine's president as cold for no fly zone to stop russian strikes.

or he's you silly, she wouldn't him just still go through lethargic. russian forces severely shout, harkey, little, or houses were destroyed. a lot of infrastructure was destroyed. video has proven that the target people's buildings advocates, a war crime that should be investigated, and no one will ever forgive you for targeting civilians, ballistic missiles, artillery. this war has to be stopped immediately. i suggest, and i believe that the sky needs to be close to russia because the former us ambassador to nato, he says, the line should seriously consider president zalinski is 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 air face 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 bombarded 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 are now well as russian troops move further into ukraine, many civilians are volunteering to fight alongside ukrainian soldiers and defend that towns and cities shall strive for reports from apparition in eastern the ukraine. civilian volunteers help ukrainian soldiers prepare for a russian army advance. there's a growing sense of urgency in the city of upper asia. ukrainian army says russian tank columns a less than 40 kilometers away north nauseous leave to collide. we didn't invade 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. the overlook checkpoints from positions hidden in the trees. this is one of a growing number of checkpoints around the city of zapper risha. now most of the

men that you see here are members of the civil defense forces. they are volunteers . they say that the russian army has positioned itself in the next hail down this road. the men come from all walks of life cable, which he did over as i need, i wish that number as a linear 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 panella, 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, 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 role in my i don't want my family killed. i won't allow them

to march in our land. they are the occupiers, and they should be eliminated shows can yes, the law they a by the way, what 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 yet molotov cocktails for those who want to fight, but don't have a gun. yeah, jim, yeah, me, i have a family, i can't do anything else to help them clearly, but we are honest, bright people, but the situation is dark right now. a people prepared to defend their city against the invader. they know is close to unstructured. al jazeera zappa, risha, eastern ukraine. the european union says they would increase monetary support to ukraine. our diplomatic editor james baynes as more or less from brussels. european defense ministers met by video link to discuss the plan, to send weapons to ukraine. a package that is unprecedented in its 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 were made public though this is what the european high representative said to know that these have a 1000000000 viewed as will be devoted to provide defensive arms. but i calibrate arms anti tanks, all kinds of agreements in order to re failed digression. and member to state have to provide disarmed with, had to coordinate with what they are doing from 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 anytime soon. men or russians are starting to feel the financial pressure of western sanctions. the rubel sank almost 30 percent against the dollar, and that was before the u. s. announced additional restrictions against its central bank bernard smith, as mona, from moscow, nervous about where the debate 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. and knowing that we are planning to buy a flat. so for us, it is very important that we were hoping to have a certain interest rate. now it will be totally different. literally with us. of course i am worried anyway, 1st of all, the situation of the of the doll 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 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 that the central bank on friday central bank head in normal reserves to be half elizabeth york rosen and elena 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 foreign investor here is abandoning it stake in oil firm rosin act, u. p. s. and fedex of stop shipping services, half the passenger jet,

used here are leased and those contracts are being canceled. russia's political, economic, and physical isolation from the rest of the world is rapidly gathering pace. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow, does not have to come here now just here, including as economic sanctions tighten on russia will tell you which of the countries wealthiest oligarchs feeding the fish and snap by the world of sport, more international events, band, russia, and competition more and i status ah look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle airways now and that seasonal wind blows down the golf as it does quite frequently during the winter. sometimes it's cold at the moment because it's warm in iraq. the wind is also quite warm, spreads out into the empty quarter and into mom has some consequence. you can see

with the high ground as your color blue, back through turkey as well. and even on the coast, levant, jerusalem's, at 16 bay roots at 70. not extraordinary warm nor extraordinarily cold, but there's rain up here and there are showers to south as well. that probably the zoom in to the south. iran in southern pakistan throughout tuesday, the showers will grown. give you what i hope is some welcome rains, not much. the north, you'll notice not much in afghanistan either, but there was in the growing system on existing system, which will spend a lot of rain to southern parts of turkey in cyprus, into syria, lebanon prospect. further south, obvious snow for turkey, but not including estoppel. this is an improving picture of resemble and by take you through the thursday, you see the snow goes into the caucasus, the sun sloan afghanistan, but beyond or between. it's looking fairly dry. a quick look at southern africa, madagascar and the north is still quite wet and their share was elsewhere. the main band of rain there was edging 3030 for the north de actuarial kidney

o. whether sponsored by cataract ways, chilling the debate, they erased out of black people from the american and global story was very powerful on online, at your voice. the comment section is right here, join our conversation. we had all protected when everyone is protected. it is not to play being nationalistic about us. you just look at it in a very different way. say that perspective, meg and meg meeting each other and they don't have any solution. let me put it clear for you this dream on al jazeera. ah ah,

we'll come back. a quick reminder. the top story is this. our rushes drive towards ukraine's capital has entered a 6th day. we have reports that dozens of people have been killed and injured in the country. second largest city hockey, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is calling for no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs, which are banned in more than a 100 countries. and it comes as a russian convoy estimates to be more than 60 kilometers long is set to be advancing on keep satellite images, show ahmed vehicles. tanks, artillery m, support trucks positioned to the north of the capitol. well, thousands are continuing to seek refuge outside ukraine. poland is sheltering more than 320000 people, but many migrants from africa and asia say, they're being turned away from the border. auto zane bus robbie has met some of them at a reception center in cory. over in easton, 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's . and 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. weapons of war do not discriminate. so every one ran for their lives, like foreign citizens, hoping to reach poland to contact diplomatic missions, evacuated torso, we were already lost people together to get all entity. those always like that. so

no further put their people 1st and us our say for me it was discriminating, but i think for them it's normal because it's their country. they need to save their 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 when we understand that they need to save just it is in bed. we have been loyal to ukraine. we have been in our country, we have been long falling gigantic. 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, under average is a human being. and it doesn't matter what does skin color, religion, political, her attitude, or whatever that is. if the record she needs help, then we need to help the rescue cheese. 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. and even in poland, tempers run high. you know, you can't tell by the way that we went out a green. 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 stops soon, had common repairing the damage done to all the lives touched by this crisis will take much longer than i zane basra, the old euro, cordova, eastern, poland. people in the u. k. have been donating huge volumes of supplies for

ukrainians. volunteers say they've been inundated with help. charlie angela reports from them. this highly 7th outline is being overwhelmed with donations. you can seem allison children with clothes and shoes, begging medical kids being sorted by volunteers as a khaki blocking traffic down the road as london has come to drop off what they can about an extremely, extremely grateful and moved by general safety and certainty of their people always bringing it, i think i have every language of the walls in this room in their last 24 hours. but the moment we are looking for the transport companies that would like to sponsor ship man from london to day police, andrew carrying on board that payoff. todd, this is what we desperately need. now they sent over to us ukraine. they'd might be

fall on next week. it might bureau just a collection points like this set up around the u. k. people joined the call to the stand with ukraine. but beyond the clothing and the bedding, they think what they really need is come back, go helmet hiv. it's been 2 way radios and drove back. in the meantime, these donations will be a small comfort to those refugee stepping into uncertainty. charlie angela out there like the united nations humanitarian coordinator has been briefing the un security council on the war. martin griffith told members at least a $102.00 civilians have died so far, but the figure could be much higher. the lives of millions of civilians are simply at stake. we know from other recent conflicts are brutal, deadly and protracted. urban warfare can be we know how companies,

economies can be devastated, infrastructure investment and development gains back in time generation. and we know enough to know that we do not know what it will be. the consequences of the events that we observe today the united states is expending 12 rushing diplomats from moscow's mission to the united nations in new york. washington mchugh has accused him of espionage, but russia says the move violates you and rules chaper towns. he has the u. s. as it's been working all expelling the 12 russian diplomats for months, accusing them of exploiting the 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 u. s. at a special un security council meeting convene to discuss the humanitarian situation in ukraine. out that leasing un representative said that they fed the worst. i regret to say that unless there is no need to call to conflict,

ukrainians will simply continue to flee. were 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 map. 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. or some of the wealthiest oligarchs in russia, known fighting close ties to the kremlin, are speaking out against the war. and ukraine comes of the value of the russian rubel plummeted, costing the richest billions of dollars norbert manly report. this

romantic brockovich, 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 stance. unlike from billionaire businessman once close to russian, president vladimir putin now openly criticizing his decision to wage war. although dora pascall, he's known for throwing lavish parties, a 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 piece and negotiations is causing deep uneasy among rushes elites are those who depend on access to the global financial system. and these

people are the stainless and enablers and supporters of the poodle 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, the bloodshed in a letter to his london based private equity firm. and ukrainian bond businessman to meet a fear. tasha is also opposing the war. he previously fall of money into ukraine's campaigns. pro russian politicians the bloomberg billionaire of index shows within 24 hours at the start of war, 22 of russia's richest people thought 39000000000 network wiped out. and it's not just only got speaking out russian businessman or like 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 medical have already spoken quite openly about our visa about that 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, international supporting agencies are turning their backs on russia, the governing bodies of global and european football law, banning russian teams from all international competitions. and olympic officials are asking other sports organizations to blacklist athletes from russia and belarus

. international football journalist gavin hamilton says, this was all inevitably. well, i think that there, i think by police that they decided to take his turn because they felt strongly and the pressure came from the players to play with the ones leading the opposition to russia. the federations responded to the, the players strength of opinions and them, and now we saw it in current, but it's taken time and that will be in the criticism of free christian john, the intense, you know, because he's seen as a friend of let me in. he enjoys the photo opportunities recruiting and other world leaders and zone the he some he's going to take a bit of flack of thing for the way the hide in this thing they've been bounced into really by the i see the international committee announcing a few hours earlier that they were going to pan will actually rushing from competing competition. so safest edition has 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 nicely fall in sweden republic. they refused. they said that they've refused to play russia in the work of qualifying player next month. so that's forced the issue with the for, but it's been quite a turnaround because they were with the slowest of the sports organization to, to take the stand against the russians embrace of ukraine. ah, type of krycek of the headlines here on al jazeera, russia drive towards ukraine's capital is now entering a 6 day. we have a boat that dozens of people have been killed and injured. and the country, 2nd largest city car keys, russian forces are accused of using cluster bombs, which abandon more than $100.00 countries. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is calling for no fly zone to stop moscow's bombardment. or he.
