on out 0, the u. s. is always of infected people. all right, the world people pay attention to what with on here, and i'll just, he was very good at bringing the news to the world from here. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian for again. this is when he was alive from joe, coming up in the next 60 minutes. russia strikes of the heart of ukraine, 2nd largest city, car cave government buildings come under fire. a 65 kilometers wash and convoy, inches dangerously, close to the capital, give and from the north boiler russian troops, a scene close to the border. ukrainians defy

bullets and tanks to resist russia's military, mitre cross cities, towns and villages. leading from the front ukraine's president, florida zalinski makes an emotional appeal for e u membership, which the block is now seriously considering as more refugees, poor across the border from ukraine, the you and appeals for 1.7 $1000000000.00 to address a growing humanitarian crisis. and russia has been rapidly isolated from global sport for both governing body. if etha has ended to us as hopefully taking part in this, yes, it welcome mankato. ah, it is just past 15 as g m t 5 pm in ukraine,

where russia's invasion has now into its 6th day. moscow's ground forces are advancing on multiple fronts in the east, ukraine's 2nd largest city car. keith is coming under some of the most fiercest bombardments so far in the south of the port city of mary. a pole is also on the constant shelling russian forces of pushed up from crimea all the way to cason a north of the capital give heavy forces and artillery have been building up his round up of all the developments so far today. russian armored vehicles keep pouring into ukraine with one convoy stretching 60 kilometers. they are heading to ukraine's capital keith. these people were gone in fear as russian troops make their way through the southern city of harrison. also aiming for the capital, the people across the country are pleading for the invasion to stone. we want to study. we don't want to be afraid to stop the word. the students posted on line

nissan. uncle has been begging in several different languages for an end to the conflict. millions of people have fled to the western city of levine, some to be reunited with their families and loved ones, while others can only wait and hope. ukrainian forces are putting up a strong resistance. these russian tankers were destroyed just northeast of the capital. and here, a russian missile platform in northern keith is blown up by a drone president. the law, the middle zalinski, is calling for a no fly zone over ukraine to stop moscow's bombardment. a request rejected by the us. and as the missiles and bombs continued to fall, the front lines edge closer to the heart of ukraine. we are harding al, jazeera enough enough, she pleads in motion, hulu. the kremlin says its forces are only targeting military installations,

but in war there are no such clear lines. this is the result of russian shelling on the region of the next homes have been destroyed. both it's freezing. nothing makes sense. but if you will notice, nucleus fossa, much more dusky. why is nobody saving us? but why is it like he have city district? his cursed everything has been abandoned here. they were firing at us, but we didn't hear a single shot in that direction. who is protecting us? yes. because we vladimir putin's war has entered homes and turned lives upside down. this maternity ward has been moved to a bomb shelter in the city for keith that has come under heavy attack for these new mothers. these are uncertain and terrifying times above ground. people have been documenting the damage on their mobile phones west of the capital

cave. what was once an ordinary part of daily life is no more. life has come to a standstill in many parts of the country. many here speak russian have ties to russia, but this war has now become deeply personal. kaiser woke, are you not green of what it was it? i do want to speak russian simply because prudent speaks russian. i live here and my mother is russian real. and we used to speak in russian all the time we studied here. and after this, after putin attacked us, i deliberately switched to ukrainian. i will speak only ukrainian, whatever takes up a book. roy, when the gift of this war is now almost into a full week with most people here wondering what is it or for stephanie decker, i'll g 0 live to ukraine. i'll just sent out zeros. anderson and sister in law lives near the border with poland. andrew was the latest

the latest is marbella, russian troops are reported to be heading south towards keith, the capital. and they've crossed the border or something like $33.00 units armored units include and in a, in a, in addition to that 11 grab missile launchers, a spotted in the area in the north west. and they're in china. heave, they've been seen going quite fast. this is a major escalation because if they're followed by large scale or troop deployments, that is another country joining officially joining the invasion, big implications there. alexander la, la, la lucas, jenko. i'm the are the president there has actually said that he would not join the war according to pravda, but then of course,

he's changed his mind obviously. and furthermore, it endangers peace talks that started on monday. that supposed to be resuming at. well, that seems little chance of that with the escalation of fighting, right, the way across the board. and this column going south is causing major concern because of its length, something like 60 kilometers. and it's now reported to be about 15 kilometers outside the capitol in the 2nd city. ha keith. there was a major explosion on tuesday morning at the local authority, and certainly not a military targets, nor the previous day. $24.00 less than 24 hours beforehand. civilian areas attacked in hoc heave devastation and several dead inc. 3 children burned alive according to the mer and munitions. a cluster munitions are reportedly used in those rockets attacks. much concern the president saying this was

a sheer terror attack. a so it is getting a dark picture right across the board. we know that the ukrainian military is pulling up stiff resistance civilians are also getting involved in, well, even smaller acts of resistance to on the yes and the very symbolic of a determination as, as not stoicism, but sometimes aggression. we saw enough in melita paul in the south where the russians are advancing on a number of towns. and of course, mary paul's coming under massive pressure by that advance but merely to pull people were, will, if you got the pictures here, i think people were actually leaning, moving forward and leaning against the armor, standing in the way of this column as it slowly edged forward a soldier was firing into the air, but the, the people continued for least 10 minutes trying to show resistance,

shouting at the russians, go home, go home. it was such a chart atmosphere. the people weren't injured that they say they made their protest. they had their se and elsewhere, like hockey people are so bitter. they're so angry of he, for a russian speaking mostly in russian speaking population, a city with linked to russia that were quite traditional go back a long way in history. then i'll venomous towards putin without, without any exception, it would seem who could believe that so many civilians could be attacked in a targeted way. and that's what we're seeing now. we're not seeing military targets alone being being sent to stage. we're seeing now, and not only is that infrastructure involved in the, in the attacks. it's deliberate that it would seem deliberate targeting of civilian areas, even though the russians deny this. so the escalation is palpable all over the

country. and there is a general, a general feeling that yes, the ukrainian forces have done way way beyond their expectations in terms of movement in terms of successes. but they've taken setbacks, for example, monday saw 70 ukrainian soldiers dead in war, a series of strikes on a barracks in the northeast, or that can't be sustained, those sort of attacks with the armory, russia house. it is really, really hard to see how they can hold out for a long period of time after many thanks to date out a 0 sir andrew simmons that reporting live from live at sir shows and pictures now all for you. do you case parameters? devoris johnson, the nato secretary general, and attorney as prime minister speaking after they met in the last hour or so. this

is what forest johnson had to say a few months ago. be very clear about this because you're, you're not quite right. and what you say about supporting volunteers getting to fight on the ground, the u. k is not actively doing such a thing. but i understand, of course, are the feelings of people who feel emotionally engaged in this conflict. because i cannot think of a time in international affairs when the difference between right and wrong in good and bad. a, between a good and evil has been so obvious. and it is clear that the, the people of ukraine have right on their side. michael, understand why people feel as they do, but we have a lot in our country about a about international conflicts and how they must be conducted and on your, on your pointers as both prior. again, so hope stressed. a nato is a, is a defensive alliance. i think for any nato member to get involved

actively in a conflict with, with russia is a very, very, is a huge step which is not being contemplated by any member. and you would have to go to parliament and to a, to people's, to get agreement for such a for such as that that is not on the agenda. what is on the agenda is offering the humanitarian thought that we are offering the logistical v. a defensive but lethal military support that we are and we're offering it in ever growing quantities, but also the economic pressure that the west is now applying to a to the preteen regime. and i think it, one thing is clear, the though the vladimir putin miscalculated 2 things. he miscalculated that the strength of the ukrainian resistance at the also miscalculated and underestimated

at the strength of western unity and western resolve. or to ensure that the putin must fail. and can a thank he, rector, yom on behalf of all british are broadcast. this is a question to all 3 of you actually half have a city is under heavy on baldwin's the capital. kiev is being surrounded and has a column of heavy armor stretching somewhere between 25 and 30 miles towards it. a . do you think that, given the tactics being deployed by russian forces are edging towards indiscriminate use of munitions in civilian areas? means that given russia's overwhelming as superiority that cities in ukraine, including the capital, will inevitably fall. and the one specific one for you prime minister johnson. the un security council is at the heart of the system of global peace and security of

britain light. russia is a permanent member. do you think that you would support moves to suspend russia from the un security council? so yes, and what we are seeing in ukraine is, is re, me have a horrifying to see what, what kind of steps they are taking and, and now they are escalating this sit crisis and the question whether the cities will, will fall. i think how we underestimate that the ukrainians motivation a will to protect their protect their cities. of course, we also know that the, the forces are not really equal as so a one needs to really conquer the cities. and the other one is to keep, keep those cities under control. and so i think there is going to be

a lot of resistance from ukrainians. and, and this, even if, you know, temporarily for russia takes hold of the city. so it's still very hard to keep and, and as there is no support from the ukrainian ukrainian side. so i think what we have seen and the own ukrainians have really a surprise to everybody, sit east by their motivation to fight for their country to fight for their freedom . i think the same would it be here because we have already lost our freedom once and we don't want, we don't want to lose it a 2nd time. so i think, you know, all the nation is, is up to defend their country and add to take it back even after, you know, building the resistance in, in the nation, willing to take those. spec isn't just directly on your, on your point to bites. i was happy in, in can't if it's,

it's absolutely sickening. and if it were my, it reminds me. if anything, if you remember the shelling of sarajevo market by, by the subject of the shelley of, of innocent people in bosnia, it has that feel to me of an atrocity committee deliberately against a civilian center. and i think that, i think coming to your 2nd point, you know, within the u. n. structures, it's very difficult to, to move people a without to vote and, and clearly where you have a job where you have a veto in the security council. you can't, there's a paradox that we can't, but to change the, the rules without that, without the agreement of the, of the russians. but what is happening is that i think the, the great middle of the, of the un congregation, if you like, is starting to realize quite how horrific this is with every day that goes by. as a, as they watched the heroism of the ukrainian resistance. and they see what's happening

in ukraine, and they see episodes like the, the shelling like the miss allah in, in khaki, of in the destruction of a civilian populations. i think people stomachs are being turned by what's happening. and they're seeing that it is necessary to stand up against russian aggression to support the ukrainians and, and to endorse our strategy, which is that president putin must not be allowed to succeed. he must, he must fail in ukraine. sir walton, i'll see is a new wave of attack against the ukraine, against the innocent people on the column of heavy russian armour, which is moving towards g of will bring more death, more suffering and more civilian casualties. and that's the reason why we need to continue to provide support to ukraine. why we continue to call on russia to stop

this build a war and why we need to impulse costs by the heavy sanctions on russia, on the wall. so should the once again command the bravery on the courage or the ukrainian people, their training on forces on the also the upgrade in preston 3rd dimension. so in scale, this is horrifying. this is totally unacceptable. onset plate, violation of national and good. listen, the be like filipinos, a question for christian to bruce johnson. by the middle of the march, the u. k. will have sent her about 2000 troops. oh, that's definitely a support for us. but what would happen? what would have to happen, or what would be the trigger point for you to, to topple it or triple or, or what's the limit?

well, thank you. thank you very much. we're both very proud to be i work he here with ah, our friends are with, i think with our friends, friends, law, a danish, a friends. and of course with our wonderful, ah estallion house and i am delighted when we're doubling it. it's a big commitment that we're, that we're making, i think that you know will, will always keep things under review. but what you can take you from either our priority is the safety, the security of our friends and partners across the whole of easton, a frontier of nature. okay, we're going to come out of that sir, at that point, that was a britain's prime minister for us johnston speaking alongside nature's secretary general. and a studious act prime minister at johnston said that bobby may put on his made disastrous miscalculation. and that we as an international community, have a responsibility to ukraine. he says that the shilling ha cave has the feeling of an atrocity committed against innocent people. many ukrainian politicians are

taking up arms. 2 were 3 help repel the rush invasion among those joining the wars parliamentarian, quito. roodick judges lives up from kia. good. have you with us, sir? kira facade, i want to check that, but that you're safe with your okay. i to talk to us and to get your thoughts on what you just heard a few moments ago from britain's prime minister boris johnson. oh, thank you so much for having me. yes, i'm shave. i'm just back from patrolling the city along with my team. and i'm states, though, they're air force and then just started to be go, we'll be going to the bomb shelter soon. so on the way that the, her stronger is johnson. and in stoughton birth, we, as ukraine nation, we central full tool of nations of the world for all the help and support we. again, we understand and do realize what it takes to impose all of those to sanctions on

russia to weaken it out to cause it to default and to make sure that it is concentrated on the internal problems and not external. however, there are some things that we do really need right now, so you crane will be able to assist. and then when the war with russia for the last 6 days, we have been fighting russia on ear. we have been fighting them in the sea and we have been fighting on our lands and we are very wouldn't fight with them on our land. there has no, has been no large cities taken partially destroyed. yes, but not taken. we have very hard times fighting them in the ear because we simply don't have that equipment and a military support to get it to, to have it. and that's why we are constantly every single day asking to i need to

partners and allies to close this kind of crane. this is critical and this item would be a critical point in answering the question of when you claim be able tool where the in this war are not the 3rd thing. we're fighting them in this year. and this is again where we would need the support of allies. i will remind you that we are right now fighting a spine of most strong and the most aggressive armies in the world. and we know that and are able to resist bound to find them for 6 days, kid and write down your name. so we would need additional international support. kids. you said that your jetpack from patrol tell us something about why you chose to take up arms. and have you been on patrol with, i mean, you don't have any military training of the people you you are with while you're patrolling ordinary citizens like like yourself of without military training.

so i decided to dave a gun and to be arms right after the war. begin right after my life changed drastically and i had along with my fellow parliament terrance to vote for the martial law in ukraine. i received my outline, kalashnikov rifle and i started training with it. i assembled resistance crew that consists of death at soldiers, members of parliament, members of the local council, member of my party and just a plain citizen. so we are helping out our army in patrolling in organizing the supplies and in making sure that we take here and neutralize the smaller group of rational soldiers that are coming to the seat from different directions. so i'm, i'm just training, i'm not shooting anybody. however,

i am very proud that i was able to, if i need to protecting my family, my house, my city, and my country, and this is what we are doing all over the country. and this is what your premiums are doing from the bottom of their heart, because we don't know what russian army can do to us. we have been fighting russia for 8 years. we have seen with these people are capable, we have seen what we did is capable of and we don't want this not. and i think for our south north, for our children in our, our cities. this is extremely important. and this is why we're asking for help for other nations in terms of close skies, in terms of additional financial aid, in terms of whatever else you can send. but just make sure that we're not sending up a gains within a load. ok, kira, your president,

president zalinski today. it's called for the membership of the you what, what do you think of is i think right now it's just an amazing opportunity for us and right now. and we are receiving this unprecedented support from all the countries as could be a right time to. so feel what has been written in our constitution, which is said the direction god and moving towards natal and eagle. this is like which in a death does he said, or heat your western direction for heat, your aim to become a member of nato. and i will go away and we are saying no, this is up to ukrainian nation to decide will be going and how are we doing this? and this is why he has asked us because he said, i don't need additional needs or country alongside my borders. and i deny who ukrainians at a right. you choose where your country is going to go. and this is my actually

weren't begin. and this is why we're fighting it because you wanted to was ourselves. where would we go and how are we going to build our country? care up. many, thanks to talking to us ahead, i was 0, appreciate it. i am p kildrick that live in cave. as you heard, that ukraine's leader has made an emotional appeal to ear parliament to allow his country to join the block. mrs of july, we are fighting for our existence for our survival. and this is the main motivation for us. but we are also fighting to be an equal member of europe. and i think that to day we're showing who we are. the european union is with us, with ukraine. the european union will be stronger without ukraine. it will be lonely. we've proved our strength. we've proved that we are at least the same as you please prove that you're with us. please prove that you're not going to let us

go prove that you're really, europeans. the actions of the kremlin are severely damaging the long term interests of russia and its people. more and more russians understand this as well . they are marching for peace and freedom. and how does the kremlin respond to this by arresting thousands of them. but ultimately, the longing for peace and fries and freedom cannot be silenced. there is another russia, besides proteins, tanks and we extend our hand, our friendship to these other russia, be a sure they have our support. our diplomatic as a transpose is life for us in brussels. president lensky received a standing ovation after delivering at his speech to day, james, done, there was this display of unity. and as we heard that fairly strong words of

support for ukraine from the e. u. yeah, absolutely. in a european parliament where outside not just the u flag, but the ukrainian flag flying ukrainian flag in the parliament chamber and many of the european m. p. 's art wearing also ukrainian flag and ukrainian t shirts with ukranian fly. i'm a real show of solidarity from the parliament from the european institutions to ukraine in president. we've got a long standing ovation here. he certainly heard the right words, and i think he's had a great deal of support. more than perhaps some would have expected in terms of sanctions, even though you decided to send weapons a pang over $500000000.00 for weapons that they're going to send to ukraine. some will question whether those are actually going to get there in time given the developments on the, on the ground and that military convoy heading towards key right now. all of that

is good. but the thing that the ukranian president wants is and he signed a decree 24 hours ago as a fast track of ukrainian membership, all the european union. again, he had the right words coming from shaw. michelle, the president of the european council, and us live on the line, the president of the european commission. they say that in principle, yes, as some of the lines said, we, the ukrainian people to be part of our european family. but the process is a very long winded process. the european parliament will in the next half hour or so announce the results of a vote in which he urges this fast track to take place. but it's not the parliament that decides on this process. what happens is an opinion is produced by the european commission. that's the civil service part of the e u. it then goes to european council. that's the $27.00 countries, their leaders sitting together in a meeting. the next one of those meetings is just over

a week's time taking place in paris. but even if they say ukraine can have candidate status as a very long process and lots of criteria boxes to take a normally that takes a long period of time many years. james, i just wanna get your thoughts on the u. k. is parameters to paras. johnson who faced an emotional questioning from the ukranian journalist today who recently crossed the border into poland, which was where boris jose johnson was earlier. today you are coming to portland, you are not coming to kia, prime minister, you are not come into relief because you are a freight because nato is not willing to defend. because maybe he's afraid of the woolworth lee, but it is already started and is the ukrainian children who are they're taking the hit. you're not going about more sanctions prime minister, but my mortgage is not sanction. he is in london. his children are not in the bombardments his children are there in london. splits. children are in nettles.

in germany, in mentions, i always mention seized. i don't see that. i see that my family members, that my team members. i think that to be a great, you know, the power to rob. this is what is happening. prime minister. well, thank you. thank you very much for questions and, and thank you for getting here today. i'm glad that you that you have been able to, to get here. and i look, i just wanted to say that i'm acutely conscious that there is not enough that we can do a u. k. government to help in the way that you want. and i got to be honest about that, and when you talk about the, the no fly zone, as i said to vladimir, i zalinski, i think a couple of times. unfortunately, the implication of, of that is the, the, the u. k. and i will be engaged in, in shutting down russian plains. it will be engaging, direct combat,

i with russia. that's not something that we can do that we've, that we've envisaged james, as we saw the ear determined to respond to the situation the u. k. though, in a sport to act on russian oligarchs in particular, the prime minister, they're obviously in quite a bind. yeah, i mean the, i think he's right about the part of the question, which is should they militarily do more with regard to ukraine? should the u. k. get involved in setting up a no fly zone in over ukraine in the skies of ukraine, should they militarily try and take out that column of tanks. it's heading towards care? no, there's no way they can do that without the u. k. being a nato country,

the rest of nato, under the nato, north atlantic treaty article 5, which says that one countries involved in the conflict and can call on all the others effectively that all of nato get involved in the conflict, including the u. s. if you've got the u. s. and all of nato involved in a conflict with russia, i think you then probably will call that world war 3. so that is why they can't take that step. but on the other part of a question about the oligarchy in london about all that wealth in london, all of those very rich properties in parts of london and knights, bridge and kensington, and parts of london. that i think is where the u. k. prime minister has more of a question to answer. what are you going to do, for example, that the name that was mentioned, there was the owner of chelsea football club who the prime minister johnson as himself mentioned in parliament and then that then withdrew his name. what's going to happen about the wealth that is in london, and i want and these, some of that wealth connected to putin. these questions for the u. k. government do

the sanctions they put in place go far enough. now. diplomatic editor james based, i live in brussel champs many thanks and it in geneva, delegates of the united nations human rights council walked out in protest during a speech by russia's foreign minister. u. s. secretary of state entity blinkin, spoke about what's happening in ukraine and repression in russia. we must underscore russia's obligation even in its unlawful invasion to respect international humanitarian law, including as it relates to the protection of civilians. in the conflict council member should stop using language implying that all sides bear equal responsibility for the unprovoked attack of one side. this isn't even handed. it's wrong and fails to place accountability where it belongs. in new york, the un general assembly is holding an emergency special session for a 2nd day to discuss the situation in ukraine. let's go live to the you and in new

york out there is kristen salumi. is there kristin, we're sapping in this set this this session, the 2nd day of the session today. yes, it is the 2nd day of a special emergency session that was called by the security council. we are expecting to morrow wednesday, that there will be a vote on a resolution similar to the one that was vetoed in the security council by russia, deploring russia's invasion of ukraine calling for a withdrawal, demanding its cease its use of force that speeches are ongoing. they are $88.00 countries have now co sponsored this resolution, of course, whether or not it, it will pass. russia does not have veto power. in the general assembly, all it takes is 2 thirds majority, but some countries may choose not to vote at all. they may abstain as some did in

the security council. so that's happening here at the united nations today. we're also waiting on the security council to put forth a resolution that's being written by france and germany calling for humanitarian access in the ukraine. that is something that's still being worked on. will russia use it to be tail power over that resolution as well? the ambassador was asked and he said it's something that they're studying very closely. christian view and as appeared for what $1700000000.00 to day to address growing humanitarian crisis. where is that money gonna come from? will they need countries? member states to step up and fund that appeal and it is a big 1. 1.7000000000 dollars, that's a multi agency, multi faceted response, meant to address all of the wide ranging and increasing needs of the ukrainian

people. about 2 thirds of it are $1100000000.00 would go towards people still in ukraine. 6000000 of them for the next 3 months, covering everything from food assistance in cash assistance to a water. sanitation, rebuilding infrastructure that has been damaged or whether it also education, health care needs. these needs are already there and increasing by the day, according to un officials, about a 3rd of that money would also go to help the regional response for refugees. and we heard from the high commissioner for refugees here at the united nations today. felipe o grand a. he says that there are now the number of refugees who left the country is now about 277000. about half of them have gone to poland and the number of refugees could go as high as 4000000. that would, he said, make this, potentially the largest refugee crisis europe has seen in the last 100 years. so

they are looking for member states to really step up and help out there now deserves crystal. so be reported live from the u at a new york. kristen for the moment, but he thinks data just wanna show you the latest pictures that we've received from our kids. this is an attack on one of the cities, t. v towers rushes, ukraine's. i'm sorry, interior ministry. i said that her there was puzzle disruption after this strike on the tv tower, but work will be dung to restore any last signal. so this happened within the last few minutes. these pictures, the latest pictures from ukraine's capital. kiev, where a tv has been attacked by a russian strike will russia's foreign minister has accused the european union of engaging in russ phobic behavior by supplying weapons to ukraine. those are the soon, i guess with

a stolen with united states and its allies are creating their own new world order as of 2014, the key of regime is waging war against its own people. the constitution of ukraine has been changed and the new nazi's that have gain power, there are waging real terrors, russia defense minister. so gay sugar has denied that the ministry, a shilling, residential areas in ukraine can harm in the russian army does not occupy ukrainian territory. it takes all measures to preserve the lives and safety of civilians. i would like to stress that strikes are carried out only on military targets and using only precision weapons where they were still in, in, in the course of military clashes. the ukrainian design does not hesitate to use civilians as human shields or multiple launch rocket systems. guns, laws, and kind of motors are placed in the courtyards of residential buildings in the schools and kindergartens. live to moscow officers dosage far is that also tell us

more about the russian defense ministers concern well, according to the spokesperson earlier today, they issued a warning to the civilian population of the ukrainian capital, saying that they will be targeting the ukrainian security services building in the center of kiev, as well as a telecommunications buildings. and they said that if any civilians live in and around those buildings, they should evacuate immediately. the defense ministry said that there will be heading these targets with precision missiles and, but they didn't specify as to when that would be taking place. we do know that the one of the buildings is right in the center of key f and the security services building that belongs to the cranium. military is about 7 kilometers east of the u . s embassy in the capital. and it's right in the center of a heavily populated civilian neighbourhood. it is also near the local city hall

building, as well as this is the 1st time that the russian min, a defense ministry, has issued any kind of warning to the civilian population in ukraine. but i think it's significant since there has been a lot of criticism so far, of the russian military carrying out his hacks within civilian populated areas and as a result of the casualties they've seen. but they said that the russians have said they are doing this because their services have come under severe cyber attack since they launched this invasion on february 24th. the number of attacks have hit the kremlin website as well as the minister of foreign affairs, as well as the defense ministry. also the countries railway station, as of, as well as the number of local russian television stations have all come under cyber attacks. that is the objective, according to the russians for carrying out these strikes. what's the likelihood, given today's development? so there will be another round of talks between russia and ukraine.

well according to the russian news agencies, they've said that the next round of discussions will be taking place on march 2nd, wednesday in belarus. again, the same location as before, according to them, alongside the border with ukraine. but we have yet to get that confirmation from the ukrainian side. and they did have a discussion of from between 2 sides on monday and both sides said that they weren't expecting any huge outcome from the negotiations. but it was important for them to maintain a line of communication and that they should have direct talks. and the russians have said that they are willing to talk to the ukrainians and the ukrainians have. they had finally agree they had initially said they wants to have a and as a halts in the fighting before they have any kind of negotiations or dialogue with the russians. but they eventually did say,

the president said that he was willing to actually give them a chance. what is interesting today is that the kremlin spokesperson for the 1st time, acknowledged that they do understand. and they do recognize, as dads have lot of mir zalinski is the legitimate president of ukraine. this was something that was very much not acknowledged by the russian president vladimir putin, as well as various other officials. so there seems to be a slight change in the tone coming from officials here. whether not, it will be enough to have any kind of effect on the reality on the ground than the fighting remains to be seen or zera's dosage very live in moscow till somebody thinks indeed an eastern ukraine volunteers have converted a soviet era cinema into a shelter out 0 is charles stratford. is that the i tell you, where am i? that's what i did the last week. i don't know why i need 5 people quickly. any volunteers, the man says, the former line to unload, donated food, water,

actually crossing into those set neighboring countries ounces resembles robbie is in loveland, a. some poland. what's happening were you as in well we're here in the medieval town of loveland, in the courtyard of an old church that has become a spontaneous humanitarian relief operation. i'm just going to step shy it side and show you the truck there behind me is being loaded up with goods or of all different kinds. i spoke to a volunteer and i said to him, you know, what, are you guys sending? what do people need and he said everything, and that really is what we've seen in the warehouse near the truck that trucks going to be loaded up and then taking over the border into ukraine, where all of that stuff will go to people who needed people who've left their homes and really have nothing. we're just going to walk into this space here. inside this building a people are getting donations from all over the country all over the continent. and, and this is where all of the sorting this is where they go through everything. people

here going through all of the donated items, packing them up and she a different boxes. we've seen toys, clothes, diapers, all manner of things. and most people here that have volunteered from, you know, we've met people from germany, there's been volunteers from malaysia, from syria. this is really a massive effort, a massive undertaking happening here. and everyone here is volunteering's as far as sort out as much of this as possible. excuse me, and everyone here is basically working round the clock to make sure they can get these goods over the border to ukraine, about 4 or 5 trucks leave a day. and a more and more donations are coming in. more and more things are going out. and really the profile of this town lublin is also changing the government a few days ago. announced that loveland was going to become the major humanitarian coordination point for all aid being brought in to poland and then going over to

ukraine. so it's also going to be the location where our international 8 flights will land and then a supplies will be pulled off the plane organized, and then trucked over across the border from poland into ukraine. the polish government clearly seeing that this massive problem is only going to get bigger as the conference carries on. altenor, same bas robbie, reporting, life, lublin, and poland zane. many thanks date. well, people from ukraine are still coming in in washington are. these are live pictures by the way, as you can see from the border with the poland in washington, u. s. president joe, by mr. deliver his state of the union address. later on tuesday night, he lost his new plan to help americans navigate inflation, but he's also expected to keep ukraine in focus as on zeros. allen, fisher reports not from washington. this is a white house concentrating on tuesdays important state of the union speech by the

president. ah, but it's not taking its eyes off. you crean. a point made by the vice president at an event marking the end of black history month to day the eyes of the world are on ukraine and the brave people who are fighting to protect their country and their democracy. and their bravery is a reminder, a most recent reminder that justice equality and freedom must never be taken for granted by any of us. yes is announced a new round of economic sanctions. this time targeting russia's central bank, one senior white house official says they want to drive the russian economy backwards. while vladimir putin is pushing his tanks forwards into ukraine. they want to drive up inflation. dr. don't investment possibilities and cripple the purchasing power of the kremlin. yes, state department revealed, it was also going after the money and assets of those closest to the russian leader

. and we are standing up a joint task force to find and freeze assets of sanctioned russian companies. oligarchs, and other government officials. these actions will. busy severely impact putin's inner circle impede the kremlin use of its international reserves, and limit its ability to find ongoing. these stabilizing activities, including the kremlin war machining ukraine, couldn't, has increased russia's nuclear let level, which prompted reporters to asked the u. s. president. if americans should be worried by the threat of nuclear war, he shot that idea down there with a one word answer or no. one top us senator, the head of the intelligence committee, mark warner, says he sees no immediate credit to put drill in russia. but the u. s. is expecting and preparing for a surgeon, cyber attacks and retaliation to the actions already approved. as the fighting and

cream continues, alan fisher al jazeera at the white house, a spring in bremar, the president of the erasure group and the g 0 media. he joins us now of our skype from new york actually with us. in other words, as news agency reporting in the last few minutes that the u. s. believes russia has committed more than 80 percent of its pre stage combat power in ukraine. and that it's made advance from kia, has had no appreciable movement in the last 24 hours. what do you make of that? so far, the russians had been pretty cautious in terms of civilian casualties that they were willing to incur. they understand not only the international opprobrium that will bring, but also the opposition from within their own country. from their all of our maybe from even from the military leaders. some of the people that might be reluctant to shoot on civilians or bomb civilians. they considered to be the same nation but, but i would not be optimistic at this point them in again, and we know that there was a convoy that is over 30 kilometers long. that is streaming towards to provide

significant additional soldiers, material, ammunition the rest. and we also know that the russians have opened significantly the aperture militarily on hardee, which is one of the largest cities in ukraine. it's in the southeast, closer to the russian border. they've made advances in the south. recently. there's nothing that we're seeing on the ground from russia disposition of forces so far, that would give you reason to hope that we were moving towards either a climb down or sci fi. we certainly couldn't say that so that we've been hearing just a few moments ago about tonight's state of the union address. how much is that set to be dominated you think by ukraine? i wasn't say dominated, but i would say it's going to be the most significant issue. and of course, 2 weeks ago it would have been radically different. the fact is that the united states is in a major confrontation with russia,

the most militarily powerful competitor of the united states. it is something that binding this scene as largely having managed relatively well compared to the abysmal way that he was perceived. having managed to get us, then he's quite unpopular right now. he's down around 37 to 40 percent approval of the lowest of his administration. so for a lot of that is on the basis of both cobra id as well as the economy. we are spending less time talking about cobra in the economy right now. we're talking much more about ukraine on balance, i think by it's fine with that. and frankly, it wouldn't surprise me at all that i will. i will predict. i believe that when, by an open this speech, there will be on, on russia and ukraine, there will be a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans in the how in the house. and i think that there is no way that would have happened if it wasn't provider recruiting. so it's very interesting to see the same way that nato is coming together. europe's coming together, germany's doing much more. you're seeing some of that in the united states. you what i like for the last,

but it's still notable. could talk to you as always in many thanks. me didn't bring that in you. ok. let's get some sports. his son. think of our might adrian who are right as rapidly being isolated from global sport in the last few minutes world athletics that has banned competitors from russia. bella ruth football as governing body fee for has also taken action. the russian national team and the countries club at sides have been a bad indefinitely. but as a man's team had been due to play in the world, cut the payoff against poland. later this month, it follows the international olympic committees called exclude russian and by the russian athletes from taking part in global sporting events, muster on of super o pediasure, it's have been suppressed. our country has always followed the principle that sport is beyond politics, but we're constantly drawn into politics because others understand the importance of sport in the lives of russian people, the tokyo olympics and paralympics as well as the beijing wincy games have shown to

everyone the despite the precious, the spirits of our athletes will not be broken or had been speaking to professor of eurasian nurse for that. simon chadwick, he hopes, fif as accents will set a new standard for how it deals with countries responsible for invasions and armed conflicts. the action seems to be somewhat unusual because in recent times they have been numerous other invasions, instances of armed conflict, persecution, of particular groups, countries, minorities, and so i hope that this now sets a new standard, not just for free, for the sports organizations globally because i think what fi fi isn't, has now shown is that if there is a will, if there is a desire, there is certainly

a political way for organizations to to respond to the kind of situation that we now find ourselves in. i think now we've reached tipping points and we've gone past that point. and so what we will see moving forward from here are calls from, from clubs, from james, from countries from national associations governing bodies from the stakeholders in sports to, for, for the like to be for the i o. c. and others to take that. if you like that, why did your political responsibilities more seriously? so for me, what happened monday is, is a really significant move on. and as i say, i think, you know, we, we've got to look forward optimistically in the future to building bodies like fi, fi to take action. you kinds top women's tennis play. alina is literally nice, refusing to play a russian opponent at her latest ornament. 27 year old is scheduled to pay
