and pat impartial. we tell your story. we are your voice, your news, your net al jazeera ah 8 days and counting the death and destruction is laid bare in russia's bombing of ukraine. as talks is said to resume, to try an end the war. bash can put it from a major attack attorney. his catches the moment of an explosion. an oil, deb? ah, hi there. i'm kim vanelle. this is algae. they're alive from doha also coming up a spiraling refugee crisis over a 1000000 ukrainians. have said the violence report from the polish border and in

dwindling source of information. our russian journalists are being told to tow moscow's line by some media outlets shutting down ah, negotiations aimed at ending the fighting in ukraine. i said to resume in the next hour, delegations from ukraine and russia will be meeting, and bellows as moscow's invasion of ukraine enters its 2nd week. let's take a quick look at where things stand. area is shaded and read a controlled by russia and by allied separatists. moscow has made advances in the south and is encircled major ukrainian cities, or then a 1000000 refugees have now fled to fighting. a corresponding jo hall visited a volunteer center in the leaf. well, here we are in what just a few days ago really was an art center and museum in the western city over leave. now, as you can see, transformed into a hive of activity. it is

a humanitarian hub in this western city behind the front lines, taking donations from people all over the country they're being brought here to be processed from ordinary people from charities from businesses, then packaged up to be sent to areas in need across the country were talking about all the way down to the south in care of san we're talking about the currently in circle almost besieged city of how to keep these are absolutely essential supplies in this room. we're talking about medicines and medical supplies being sorted out, put into boxes, ready to be moved on and distributed. we're talking about clothing. we're talking about food supplies. we see coming up down these stairs. baby buddies pushed has all the things that people will need either to hunker down and wait out the siege of their cities. or to be able to make the journey. in freezing, cold temperatures across the country to one of the various exit points seeking safety across the boarders more than a 1000000 people have done so far. there is

a humanitarian crisis erupting in ukraine of boss proportion and on multiple fronts . not just the internally displaced people who left everything behind in their hundreds of thousands, but also large populations in urban centers likely to find themselves besieged in the days and weeks to come trapped. terrified and desperate for help. ukrainian officials say the establishment of humanitarian corridors is the top of their agenda at a meeting with their russian count about making it through just a pace in the breast region of bell. a roof on the countries border with ukraine. it is the 2nd attempt at negotiations off the 2 sides of failed to find common ground during talks on monday. we'll talk to dos, jabbar moscow in a moment. but 1st it's going to be in western ukraine. but we have andrew simmons. so as your 2nd round of talks about to kick off, are there any hope that things will be different the 2nd time around

very little. if anything, it's worse sir. there's been an escalation since they last met on monday, and on that occasion, they beg to differ massively on the issues around the table. really, there was no common ground on the issues involved. however, some sort of move towards a confidence building measure would be probably the best possible outcome of these talks right now. because since monday we've seen the 1st city fall. ready through the russians, and that is her song. and that is a really a big mark, a point in this conflicts add to that the colossal amount of loss of life, the attacks on civilian areas which russia denies. there was deliberately targeting a civilian areas are but ukrainians feel they are deliberately attacking

people in their own homes, right? the way across the country. as far as any agreements go, that didn't seem to be a ceasefire. likely on monday. or there was a call from ukraine to prioritize a ceasefire. but the problem is russia is, is saying that they wish to demilitarize ukraine. and really that stops any dialog progressing. and it's hard to see how they'll come out of this round of talks with any form of real progress. as i say, andrew, ah, they have their demands as a has their demands, including the demon demilitarization as you say, of ukraine to the end. i will take listen now to our rush is foreign minister, so gay levant, in spoke a short time ago, i used to go to church graham against merchant booker go. there you. of course it's

bad when people are dying. the soldiers and civilians, as it's been happening in a don bass for 8 years, we will find a solution. i am totally convinced the minimum requirements are well known and they were expressed in the last round of talks with the ukrainians. the ukranian side had some reason to postpone those negotiations. clearly they are being ruled by washington. we cannot expect russia to allow any danger from the territory of ukraine. the jabari live for moscow to talk about bad dog level. they're saying that a solution is possible, but it's also in that same speech, reiterated rushes demands that ukraine is the notarized, that saying that the russian military operation against ukraine is aimed at ensuring key. if not joy natal, i mean, how do these 2 things go handed? well, the russian delegation is currently in a bell roofs in the border area of breast. and we just heard from the ukrainian as

well that they have arrived at that location. i think that the key to this round of talks of will the whether or not they can agree to continue at all given the reality on the ground and what each side is coming to the table with. as andrew mentioned, they want very different things. and that was one of the conditions for the ukrainians. see even have the 1st round of talks on monday was at least a temporary cease fire. while these talks were taking place. that didn't happen. the russians have said that that will never happen until we achieve our goal. and that is that this and they call, as they call it, a military operation. and will continue until they achieve the goal of demilitarize in a ukraine and also securing the nuclear facilities to make sure that the country doesn't develop a nuclear program. that is the main objective of this invasion from the russian point of view. i think that the ukranian president vladimir zalinski had said prior to the 1st round of talks that he was going to send the delegation just to show

that he was willing to meet the russians. half way he was willing to have a ukrainian official sit at the same table with the russians, knowing full well that they are coming from 2 very different perspectives. and it's got to be very difficult for them to have any kind of an agreement because they ukrainians have said they will not give up on any of their sovereign rights. and the russians have not recognized any of those. right. so it's very difficult to see how this dialogue can move forward, but the russian delegation, who is in belarus, have said that they will be talking about 3 main things. one is about the military and aspect of the country as well as the humanitarian issue. and then finally the political issue. so these of the things the russians want on the agenda, what the ukrainians will respond with is unclear, but they did have a 5 hour conversation on monday, the during the 1st round and this is the 2nd round taking place. we believe shortly because the paintings have arrived at the location whether or not they will be able to achieve anything is really not expected. but what will be important is whether

or not they will continue after today whether or not this will be the final round. i think that is the most important thing. right. thank you for that door. so dose chavarria moscow. let's go back to andrew simmons standing by for us and live andrew. so these talks are happening obviously, as we've been saying, not a lot of hope right now. but as this goes on, the fighting still rages across ukraine, bring us up to speed with the latest on the ground. well, as i referred to earlier, her song, the black sea port in the south has fallen to the russians. further along the coast . maria paul, that is her the sea of as of port, it's bigger as a bigger city and it's an absolutely desperate state right now with a full on onslaught from a russian forces. and it is, it, it is being besieged. it is almost like a medieval sort of siege classic military extremes at no food,

no water, and no fuel. it is really desperate people are trying to get out. it is a real scramble and there's not a lot of hope. those 2 examples, a give you an idea of why a humanitarian corridor is absolutely essential if we go to save lives here. and furthermore, this is justin in shown a heave, which is a region in the north sector just by the bell roof border. not a long way away from where we think the talks are taking place and attacked by russian warplanes has hit 2 schools according to the emergency service in ukraine. and the estimate on casualties is 8 dead. there was some private houses hits as well. here we have an example, the ukrainians would be saying that was a civilian target. the russians will say, no. there is. i mean, the president said,

you vladimir then ski said when the talks went ahead on monday that they go along to listen. well, they need to hear some really big developments, and russia will have to engage it would seem in a diplomatic way. but it's hard to see how diplomacy can work in a situation like this when you cranes on its knees. and russia is demanding at the very least. demilitarization indeed are. and thank you for that update. andrew simmons in the visa in western ukraine. ukraine's emergency service has reported hundreds of civilian deaths from the conflict. many structures including hospitals have also been destroyed. and while some patients have be moved to safe areas, there's been concern for the safety of terminally ill children. charles traffic has more from vast leave car in east, in ukraine. anastasio walter some to this hospital in the city of zapper

risha 2 weeks ago, 5 year old will or the meal was suffering eternal bleeding. and in the critical condition, he is recovering. well. there has been heavy shilling in the town where they live and they can't get back because the russian army advance isn't that. of course i'm worried. i have 3 other children at home. there has been sheldon and they're hiding in the basement. newborn babies in incubators lined the corridor. doctors have moved them here to shield them. if is russian army shelling to bring you senior mux and one of the he says areas protective who shrapner? if there was a blast? so we put the babies here is deep inside the building 22 walls viashi's love leaders into the basement hospital star for preparing beds. the room feels cold and damp. they fear the children who cannot be moved from the intensive

care unit. if the shelling starts. there they all have their amazon diseases, they're incurable. so we have to leave them of them here in case of fair air alara's. because they depend on, they are dependent on oxygen. they are dependent on there as a sedation agreement and we cannot transport everything necessary for them and their outside volunteers are filling sandbags to strengthen doorways and protect the windows. the shelves explode nearby to leave the hospital, navigating walls of tank traps being set up across the city to stop a russian advance, we had towards anastasio town. the road is empty. the ukrainian military tells us the greatest threat is air strikes from russian military drones. in the last 10

minutes or so, we've heard what sounds like a heavy barrage of grad rockets being fired in an area behind me. that's towards the city oversee live go, which we understand is being fought over by ukrainians. and russian forces also in the last few minutes, we spoke a couple of people that tried to deliver aid into the town. they said they were turned back by the army because of the shelling char stratford al jazeera, near vasa live cur, eastern ukraine. the russian billionaire roman abramivitch has confirmed that he'll sell english for bull club. chelsea after 19 years of ownership. he's also promised to donate money from the sale to help victims of ukraine's war about let's use reported to have links was that my position has not been named on the u. k. sanctions list. it is concerns about a potential seizure of assets is understood to have a spot is moved to sell. chelsea nishaka joins us now. live from stanford bridge

stadium in london need talk more about this decision from around of it was it charity? yes, a really interesting move by abramoff is because on the one hand, sanctions haven't officially been declared upon abramivitch. but on the other hand, there is significantly a tremendous amount of pressure growing, particularly from the opposition labor party to immediately impose sanctions on abram revisionists. believe that boris johnson may have been very keen to do so as well. but the suggestion is that the british government hands may be tied, they are legally bound. we believe, to have to prove beyond reasonable grounds. the abramivitch and other oligarchs based in the u. k. the have their finances and their assets here in cities like london, have to prove that they are directly linked to vladimir putin. nevertheless, up from overtures made it very, very clear that he wants is assets out of the country. he's happy to say good bye to a club that he had a popular roland for a significant amount of time. he was

a took over the club in 2003 and on the weekend announce for a statement that he was making a very painful decision. to hand over care and stewardship of the club to the trustees of chelsea before now announcing that the club was up for sale, expect to be on the market for round $4000000000.00. a wealthy swiss businessman has his eyes on the club abramoff, which himself has made it clear that he doesn't have any direct links to vladimir putin. but if you believe many crumbling critics in russia, when the opposite is true, including alexia devonie, who listed abramivitch as one of $35.00 prominent only goes that he believed the british governments and other international entity should immediately slap sanctions on. yeah, i mean the timings interesting isn't it. and neither other oligarchy also being targeted. specifically, they're nod your assets, focus through that. yeah, these are large,

very visible assets in the shape of multi $1000000.00 yachts that are regularly seen in major ports around the world. one, according to some later support, at least 5 super yachts, owned by a handful of russian oligarchs with links to vladimir putin are now in the mould eve, sir. and according to those in the know that the part, the, well, that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the united states. it's believed that these yacht sale, they're directly after the invasion of ukraine, or shortly beforehand among those owners of those yachts, o leg, dairy pasco, where they are, the name there is sam vladimir at baton in russia's richest man. we know also that sam, that 2 other super yachts have been seized in europe by one of our smart off a man who has close links financially to everton football club. his yacht was seized in hamburg and ega, such in another prominent oligarch. and who is the owner of the russian?

oil and gas company, ross laughed as had his super yet yacht seized off the coast of france, off its mediterranean coast. over say, all of these, the very powerful and obvious signs of wealth amongst those close to vladimir putin . but it does appear as if it may not be as straightforward as slapping sanctions on these people and seizing their assets. here in the u. k. at least evidence needs to be provided. buying many of these ali gone whether they do have ties, reputed or not, potentially time to get their money and assets out of the country. me back there in london. thank you. still come here on al jazeera, large scale relief operation is on the way in malaysia after another flood emergency will have an update. ah
