weren't expecting at the arts, segment of the population and the athletes to be effected by those sanctions. a lover of also said that moscow will not discuss crimea. this topic is closed. that was force a crimea is a wire. the a russian forces and exit in 2014 and the still russian authorities still, it has refused to discuss it, as they declare, as part of russia. a foreign minister also talks about germany and i think that was interesting. he says nordstrom to really show that that germany is subordinate and dependent on other powers, and that hinting that germany is not able to stand on its own in defiance of the other european leaders. the foreign minister also said that the idea that to date, there is a mechanism to deprive russia of its membership in the united nations security council does not exist. so they don't really see it as something that can be

carried on the threat of kicking or russia out of the security council that is simply, technically not possible. and he also again talked about the technological capabilities that ukraine house to build a nuclear about weapon. and he said russia will just not allow it. and also rushes to friends. ministry has given a briefing within the velocity fuels outlining all giving details of russian casualties in a to fanciful new chron. yes, this is the day 7, and it is the 1st time that their russian defense ministry has given any details about the loss of life. they suffered in ukraine. we haven't even heard them acknowledge it. they acknowledge it on sunday for the 1st time that they had suffered a suffer casualties, but they never released numbers and the numbers are as follows. according to the russian defense ministry, 498 russian soldiers have died in ukraine. $1597.00 soldiers have been

at wounded during the fighting. and there are 572 prisoners of war. ukrainian soldiers that are now in custody with the russian military. and they also had their own figures for the loss of life. on the other side of the 1st battle, the ukrainian military, according to the russians, have lost to the 2870 personnel had been killed, and 3700 ukrainians have been ukrainian soldiers have been wounded so far. the defense ministry also has said that there are routes for people to leave the capital as well as other cities that are engaged in fighting. and he also said that there are roots provided for the army personnel that wanted defects or lay down their weapons and leave. he provided specific roads that lead out of the major cities that the russians have now set up for the military. also to use to leave if

they wish to do so, to lay down their arms. that is something the president, the russian president had said that was the main objective to demilitarized ukraine . and getting rid of this military was, is one of the main objects. if still, but i think it's telling that on day 7 of this invasion, we are now for the 1st time curing of actual a casualty figures from the russian defense ministry of zeros dosage. morrila live in moscow dawson, but a french deed will in you, cried roches, but a trans intensified to talk on major cities lost the country in the south. russia says that it's taking control, of course, on a strategically important port city on the black sea in the northeast, ukraine's 2nd largest city. hark heave has come under intense bombardment. russian paratroopers landed there overnight in the north, the capital keith has been hit by a series of missile and artillery strikes a $65.00 column as a long convoy of russian tanks and troops is heading towards the city right now.

mario polls mer, says the port city is seeing mass casualties and there's little water for a city of the half a 1000000 people. let's talk life out to outsource. charles, stamford, who's in south florida in southeastern ukraine. starting at charles with the latest you are hearing from mario pull yes, some worry, the terrifying accounts that we're hearing from people trying to get out of marable, we've been speaking to drivers and members of a convoy put together by the greek console. the. the greeks surprisingly have a community in mariel full and the council tried to put together a convoy to get civilians out and they're describing horrifically strong and terrifying. fighting inside mariel pal, the seasoning they are describing bridges,

at least one bridge that has been destroyed. they're unable to confirm who destroyed the bridge. and they say that there is this, this, this terrifying effort to try and get civilians out of the city. they describe a town called manhood, which is just west of mary opal as having in their words, been completely destroyed. and they describe, having seen houses on fire, they're describing stopped by russian soldiers and soldiers stopping civilian cars and checking for weapons and preventing them from trying to escape so well as expected. it seems as if the battle for mary, apple has started. marable, of course, of huge strategic importance, a naval port city on the sea of as of and somewhere where we had always suspected am. and military analysts had said that there would be a big fight because of the amount of ukrainian military and ukrainian

paramilitaries in that city. a city that was very proud of having pushed separatists back out of it in 2014. the reason that that city is so important for the russians. so analysts say is because if they were to take control of it, it would give them a land corridor from the east, further east, where the separatists have been in control for, for 7898 years now and northern crimea. and we know that the russians have been suffering terribly with respect to water resources on in, in crimea what resources that have been taken controllable were taking control of by the ukrainians in 2014. we also hear of terrible shelling and mass casualties around the town of wilma vaca, that is also north of mary opal. and we understand that there had been an attempt

earlier in the day to try and organize some sort of corridor or so civilians could get out and we've heard nothing since. and as you mentioned, the city of care san as well, where we also understand there was an attempt to were to organize some sort of humanitarian chord or the ability for civilians to get out safely. that was, according to the local authorities in that city, nor to crimea goes on. and we aren't sure exactly how that has gone as well. so some very worrying d terrifying accounts from people trying to get out of mary opal and in the surrounding villages and towns of that city. on to cirrus, char stratford, there live in east m u cray. many thanks indeed touches still come here on out as her escaping a nation at war more than 800000 ukrainians and our refugees sheltering in neighboring countries. ah,

lou. ah, hello again. this is of 0. it's for my job, my nearest the south russian foreign minister sergio love roof was told al jazeera post contemplating a 3rd world war must know that it would be nuclear and destructive. mario, poland. se of ukraine has come under heavy wash and bombardment, bridges have been destroyed. thousands of people on coastal rushes military claims have taken control of the town of jeff song with lexi coast. pictures from ukraine's port town appeared to show russian vehicles ruling through the city streets on charlotte. the pass trikes continued to pound ca,

keep hitting residential areas and rushes push to capture the city. around 1400000 people live in ukraine's 2nd biggest city. for the capitol give is also bracing for russian or salt bra bossard artillery strikes. i've intensified a 65 kilometers a convoy of wash and tanks. troops is heading towards the city the year and general assembly as voted or resolution, demonte, but washer, withdraw its troops from ukraine. $141.00 nations voted in favor of 5 against russia, a bay loose among them. today we call on russia to stop it's unprovoked, unjustified unconscionable war we call on russia to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. we call on another neighbor of ukraine, bella roche, who you've just heard from,

to stop supporting the war and stop allowing its territory to be used to facilitate this aggression. they have come to the ukranian soil, not only to appeal, some of us, not only to see our cause and priorities they have come to deprive ukraine of the very right to exist. they have come to resolve the ukrainian su, as their propagandist claimed. just stop and think that these wars remind you of something, but he had them we knew and unless we are not cutting out strikes and civil liberties, all civilians don't believe in the large number of fake news being spread around the internet on the peaceful scenario. the ukraine could happen if the radicals are concerned about preserving civil lives in their country. rather than hiding behind

them. there is no reference to this call on that illusion for us toward on our christian slim. he was following, not only the, the debate, but the boat itself. she georgia still live from the us in new york. what does this vote actually mean christian? well, it shows that 141 nations are very concerned about the aggression against ukraine. many spoke about this being a violation of the un charter and terms of a violation of territorial sovereignty and also a threat to global and certainly regional peace and security. we are hearing right now in the general assembly hall comments after the vote from the united arab emirates, which is a country that abstained on voting for

a similar resolution in the security council attempts to pass a similar text. and the security council failed with the russian veto, but some members of the security council decided not to vote at all. they abstained from the vote, including the u. h. e. some countries finding themselves in a and a n tough position between the west end a russia to great powers of veto wielding powers in the security council. but today we saw the west in its rally many allies to this cause, including the u. e, which just said that the principles of the charter had to be upheld here and, and coming around and in support. the difference of course, is that a general assembly a vote does not have the same weight under international law as a security council vote. but certainly the united states came out and did a victory lap after the vote showing, saying that it showed that there was universal condemnation and universal concern

about what's happening or how to serious crystal. we live at the u. n. a new york. many thanks. deed to crystal, let's kind of you from michael barnowski, who's a senior fellow of director of the german marshall funded the united states. warsaw office. he joins us now live from walsall, micro to sort of 1st get your thoughts on, on this for the you and general assembly condemning rushes attack on ukraine. by large majority, it's cold, russia to end its aggression. is that going to make a blind bit of difference? sure, if russia is right now isolated, and i hope that president putting especially, but also the foreign minister walker of mueller quote, he will listen to the voice of the world. because that's what we are hearing in the un and decide to and this endless, or this pointless war. i wouldn't neither will expect the, the war to go differently at this very moment. i think the war for the,

for russia is going badly. but we have, unfortunately, a long weeks of brutal fighting ahead of us. and what is the feeling there in warsaw at the moment about what's happening? how concerned are people there? what we are? first of all, we are looking to the innocent civilians who are being killed in ukraine and frankly in this belief. and this is, this meant to be a, a quick operations from the quick war, from what we understand or when it comes to present bookings. goals are instead of it, russia is losing a lot of soldiers. the number's quoted by the russian m if a is just not correct, the ukrainians ah, the ukrainian m o. d this morning, cited a 5700 russian troops that are killed. and because russia is

not doing, doing so badly, it's now switching to either indiscriminately killing civilians, what we are seeing unfortunately, our war crimes and ads and that's, that's felt here very, very strong. the are in warsaw or and so what do western nations need to do now with so many people fleeing ukraine right now? well, on one hand, we need to keep up the pressure on the, on russia, both via for their sanctions. and there is still energy sanctions that can be applied to, to russia. we absolutely need to keep providing the military help to ukraine because they are fighting not only for their own silver tea, but piece in and sovereignty of europe in the, in the really, the rule based her word system. but i, at the same time we are facing a huge monetary disaster. it,

there is over $800000.00 ukrainians that left ukraine already. and others want to leave, but they can because they are being shelled. they're being shot head by russian forces. so what needs to happen is a creation of humanitarian corridors that would allow this people to leave and then a poland that you and the world needs to take care of this people are we already have are close to the close to 500000 of ukrainian citizens on puller soil and, and they need certainly help not only from, as they read about from, from the broader community as well. i'm a good story to my company. thanks steve, for being with us sir. michael bernacki there in poland morsel the international atomic energy agency has been holding an emergency meeting to discuss the security of nuclear sites in ukraine. russia seized control of each novel exclusion zone,

as well as this upper jazz year. one of the nuclear power stations in ukraine, the chief of the you and steve here wants talk, says that he is in contact with both ukrainian or russian officials and big number of, of issues where we detect that there could be a need for some assistance. i must say that i am encouraged by the fact that in the discussions in the ongoing discussions, there has been a widespread support for the agencies readiness to engage with a, with the ukraine and also with russia naturally. ah, to facilitate this much needed assistance. we'll just, we'll show you some pictures from st. petersburg at the moment where police are out in force as you can see wearing looks very much like riled gear. ah,

leaving behind, but also kind of relieved that they're now finally safe. some have trouble for very long time. and to polish people are very generously accepting them here and also helping them as much as they can. you can see a lot of volunteers are busy here working. i can show you here how they have the free of food. there's a lot of people also holding a science, they're offering rides, offering their homes. so a poland has really seen an out for or for generosity, helping their neighbors. they also said in the border with ukraine is also our border and the ukrainians are fighting to defend our border as well. so it comes really close to home here in poland and a people are really confused. still, you know, that is chaos. people don't know where to go. so and this is just the beginning, the you and hcr, but also the polish authorities, expect millions of refugees arrived here and the next coming days and weeks,

and the u. s. making itself ready to accept and post all these refugees to haven't seen for a very, very long time arriving in europe. india has increased the number of flights it's sent to countries neighboring ukraine in order to repatriate thousands of its stranded national utilities. decision follows the death of an indian student during schilling in cock. here after al jazeera popping, the top report ah, brought you pm, with our greets her brother with joy as here die. so bucharest, the study medicine in west, in ukraine, after the city was borne by russian forces. they fled to the border with romania. they say they waited there for nearly 15 hours. so there was no basis. thank god, regularly we're lashing somehow. i don't even remember how i cross the border 20000 indian studying ukraine there its largest group of foreign students. many have made

from resolutions condemning russia. it's an order ally, and in just big a supply of military weapons. it's also a strategic partner encountering china's expanding regional influence. what example on the final and in border so far, the russian a block of been against us on that on that issue. but in all the chinese, my boss, that positions the chinese might force them predict certain position on the, in your pocket, on your shoes. so russian dependency on china could have negative consequences for us. yes, it was wild of india, sending humanity renewed to ukraine as it seeks had from russia to evacuate its national stranded in east in ukraine. poverty metal al jazeera, you deli, ah, it is good. have you been a slow adrian? should i get here in dough hall, the headlines louder syrup washing foreign.
