ism lane able to stem up any thread just beyond our borders, including clear power. our people are taking all the bride in our people. we will always remember our fall in comb grades who have fallen in the line of action. we will build all the necessity including committing finance and provisions, so that families now we will extend to honor the fall in who have fallen in the military combat in dumbass was that which which was good. then the william, they got up to your store and set you up alone. the military plan is going as planned, according to the time set of all the targets are being hit successfully. the

defense minister will provide the technical details in his report. all right, that was that russia's president vladimir putin speaking. we're not sure whether that was alive or whether it had been recorded earlier. but he said that russian soldiers are acting bravely as real heroes. so does that. he said, sacrificing their lives. russians and ukrainians are one people. he said he's proud to be part of the multinational people of russia. his soldiers doing all they can to protect the innocent civilians. he said ukrainian forces have taken thousands of foreign citizens hostage, including students. he says his service men are provided humanitarian corridors for civilians to flee. those corridors are being blocked by ukrainian nationalists. he says that ukrainian forces a using civilians as human shields. he says,

speaking to his sir national security council. now let's up bring it out to davis. dawson, barry, who was listening to that as well. she's in moscow dasa. what did you make of that? well, i think it's clear he wants to deliver a strong message, a united front to the russian public. this is a, a meeting that was rod cast after it took place earlier today. it was not live and this was an emergency session of the security council, which is made up of high ranking officials, 30 of them. and as the president dan and made the statements are really trying to convince the russian population that things are absolutely going according to plan, reiterating that at narrative, that they are fighting a good fights in ukraine, and they are doing it for the security of their own country,

i think the main point was that he did announce that they would be financial compensation for the soldiers that have lost their lives than also those that have been wounded during this invasion. and he said that he was a thanking the soldiers and their families for their bravery. i think this is a very much a vladimir putin that she wants to portray a strong military campaign that they've launched in ukraine. and that one that is going according to plan, despite what the west is accusing it of being incomplete tatters and various reports from the european countries saying that there are problems within the russian military. this is the commander in chief himself saying that is not the case. and we are really succeeding and things are according going according to plan . oh, this happening as negotiations are underway. those talks between or

ukraine and officials, russian officials just over the border from ukraine and, and bengal reuseable waterloo the bugs for those. those talks also well, there aren't very big hopes really. i think the russian president spoke to the french president among him a chrome just short while ago. the 2 men had a 90 minute phone conversation. and the call was at the request of the russian president. and a coming out of that, there had to, there was very different reads and takes from the kremlin. we heard that they phone call at went well, and that at the 2 men discussed their ongoing operation, as the russians call it in ukraine and flattery. poon explained to him a new micron. what was happening and what was taking place. and also that their, their operation in ukraine will continue until the end. and the end for him is a ukraine that is a demilitarized,

that is neutral. that doesn't have any offensive weapons that doesn't have any new clearer program that that composed the threat to russia. the ellie's a palace issued a statement was very different and very concerned about the tone that was coming from the russian president emmanuel crohn said he fears that the worst is yet to come. and according to sources from the eliza palace, eh, that the russian president was really not going to stop until he took all of ukraine. the french president also said that there was nothing in what putin said that could reassure us. and he told them it. vladimir putin that you are lying to yourself and that it will cost your country dearly and that your country will end up isolated, weakened and under sanctions for a very long time. and this is a leader of the french president who usually likes to point out the positives. and clearly the conversation that he had with flattered we put in,

at this point was not a positive one. still, those talks are ongoing as we speak. 3 ukrainian members from the key of government are sitting across 6 russian representatives near border between bella, who some poland discussing what each side would like to see happen. the russians want the ukrainian military to lay down their arms and the ukrainian officials once a ceasefire and a humanitarian corridor to be established as quickly as possible. whether or not any of that will happen. it's very unlikely that the important point now is that the 2 sides are still talking. i was there as docile jibari reporting live from moscow. many thanks did to dos. let's bring it out. zeros and rescindence that he's in the viv in western ukraine near the border with the poland. enter. let's pick apart for a moment. but what we heard a president putin saying that russia's military advance and ukraine is going to plan. he said russians in ukraine is a one people, even if many ukrainians have been brainwashed,

ukrainian forces have taken thousands of foreign citizens hostage including students. he says a service, but a provided humanitarian corridors for civilians. a flea corridors which are being blocked by ukrainian nationalists, ukrainian forces, he said, are using civilians as human shields. is there any evidence for any of that? it doesn't appear to be any evidence and it's the 1st most people have heard of this. it does seem to have come from nowhere. it is a serious allegation, obviously, and i'm sure will be some response. and as daughter was, was pointing out, there is a, a pretty dark backdrop to the talks that are ongoing. as far as we're aware between the russian delegation and the ukranian delegation. add to the pessimism coming from the french president. or is pessimism coming from the ukranian

president lensky in that he feels that he needs the help of your more help from your more help from the rest of the world. the critical situation is countries in its fighting for its various survival. he outlined that in a news conference he was appearing pretty much the most aggressive he's been in since this conflict began. we're in our 2nd week of the invasion now. and he really, really did not refer to the talks at all for the last, for last round of the talks was on monday. and there appeared to be no real advance in, in any making any, any decision making. but they were still talking. and at that point, the, the president here president zalinski did say that they were listening to russia, but now it would appear with so much negative ground having mounted up since then

with the invasion going into its 2nd week and into a phase whereby the russian advances the russian attacks on civilian areas according to the ukrainians, and what is, seems to be on the ground, an investigation in all directions, including the international criminal court. there is very, very little in the way of common ground between the 2 sides. the, the biggest hope of all that ukraine has is that the raw humanitarian corridors formed not for the sort of purpose that the president putin was, was suggesting, but for the purpose of getting the injured civilians. the injured out of this country and aid into this country. and that is what, that is, what presidents lensky wants, and he's in a pretty desperate position. it would seem, even though his, his is fighters are, are doing incredibly well in many areas. but as he said, thousands of them are dying. and what's the latest,

andrew on the humanitarian situation there in the various cities of ukraine, which are under attack? well, i'm looking here at this just so many reports coming in in her son. of course, this is the 1st city in ukraine to fall to the russians. there are no reports of any further fighting, but it's understood that the ukrainian forces have withdrawn and there is an intent on counter attacks all over the country where losses have been made. but no further word from there and sure to heave in the north. just near the border with bella luce, there has been a number of attacks. a diesel plant is on fire and has been air strikes on reportedly to schools. and we're hearing now from the emergency service there. that's 22 civilians have been killed in the attacks and they are

the rescue. workers are searching for more bodies and, and trying to rescue people from the rubble elsewhere. in hockey, the situation is absolutely critical. one official in the presidential office as described it as a 21st century stalingrad that city. and then we have in the, in the, in the port of mario, paul, which, which is in the see of as of the see of as of port, massive seeds there. people just cannot break out. and there they run out of all supplies, food, water, and fuel. critical situation appeals for a host of areas of help, particularly medical help, because the hospitals that are in a critical states unable to treat people properly. this is a real emergency of a profound sort. in the capital heave, there have been further attacks,

but there is just a, any re weight for what people feel is inevitable. and that's the push from so much in the way of armored columns to come into the city. there were 4 explosions or 12 hours ago. so 18 hours ago. but there we, we don't know about the number of injuries, but certainly we're very loud loud explosions overnight. and overall, the situation in ukraine right now is incredibly gloomy. on his eras, anderson, it's reporting from the live in western ukraine. andrew, many thanks. and it is a closer look than at what andrew was was just saying the situation in ukraine right now. russia and there allied separatist forces are now in control of all the areas shaded in red on this map so far, the most intense fighting appears to be along the coast of the sea of as of in the

south. russian forces of completely surrounded the city of maria pole by land and sea. as andrew was saying, a castle in another important port city. now under full russian control and further north washing forces are expanding their offensive on the outskirts of keith. the capital continues to be well defended by ukrainian forces who have slowed the advance of a 65 kilometers along washing convoy to the north of the city. hundreds of civilian buildings including hospitals have been destroyed since the war began. while some patients been moved to safe areas is concerned for the safety of terminally ill children. antivirus char strapped reports now from basilica in eastern ukraine. anastasio brought her son to this hospital in the city of zap arisia, 2 weeks ago. 5 year old val, or the mayor was suffering eternal bleeding and in a 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 just enough. 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, lying the corridor. doctors have moved them here to shield them if this russian army shelling the blue senior marks in one of the hughes. this area is protected from shrapnel if there was a blast. so we put the babies here is deep inside the building between 2 walls. viashi's love leads us into the basement hospital star for preparing beds. the room feels cold and damp. they see the children who cannot be moved from the intensive care unit. the shelling starts there and they all help them with diseases . they're incurable. so we have to leave them them here in case

of an air alara's because they dependent, they are dependent on oxygen. they are dependent on as a sedation agreement and we cannot transport everything necessary for them. they're outside volunteers, a filling sandbags to strengthen doorways and protect the windows shelves float and if i leave the hospital, navigating walls of tank traps being set up across the city to stop a rush in advance, we head 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 of vassar, 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 vastly live cur, eastern ukraine, marolla. her name is a communications coordinator at the international committee of the red cross. she joins us now from western ukraine and marana. thanks for being with us. what are your teams on the ground in mary or paul telling you about the humanitarian situation there? hello, yes, i'm in my entire situation and matthew and as well is dire. or we've seen the thousands of fir displaced people coming in to my to point out really leaving lives behind a need for food, a basic hygiene items and essential household items,

water medical needs. of course, today the teams are between today and as today we've distributed for more than 4000 people. all those items that are essential for their survivors were told that people left with their suit cases. and some of them have nothing to where to mothers do not have her food or even formula to give to their babies. and we've also trying to support the healthcare facilities in the city to be able to cope with this influx of displaced people. wesley, the, the a, the, you're providing the you're able to provide in, in that city will only last so long. are you able to get any aid in the, of the motor other, the other besides involved in this conflict, allowing you the red cross to take aiden? absolutely. as a new test. and then passion, humanitarian organized organization under international humanitarian law. and we

is delaying us. we'd like to do more for, for the people who are suffering. and we hope that this will happen soon. and what about the people who've been displaced, people who managed to, to flee places like mario poll before a conflict prevented people believing what's happening? those who have left with nothing exactly, and most people left with nothing in shelters, shelters are packed everywhere across the country. and they're already in immediate needs in terms of food and terms of medication, but in terms of water. and it's, it's winter time. so people are called it a need to be fed. we are told that i mean some others do not find the words to explain to the children what happened, why they left their home and why they don't have anything to put on the table or,
