from our land. a russian president vladimir putin has sent out the stock warning to the international community. any country that tries to impose a no fly zone over ukraine would be a participant in a military conflict. more than 1300000 people have fled ukraine since the invasion began. the you and has recorded 351 civilian deaths, but says the real number could be much higher. a cha stafford begins our coverage from near is up. patricia. we traveled south of the city of south parisha. the road behind me is the road that it was expected, perhaps optimistically to see buses of civilians being transported out of mary opal taking them north to separation that it happened because the seas far failed. road is be very quiet. we've seen the occasional call carrying children. no, we've also seen a lot of military. interestingly. checkpoints that we seen early in the day now

abandoned and ukrainians. hanks heading towards russian positions we ring told our only around 20 kilometers south of here will be speaking to villages in this area. they tell us what the situation has deteriorated dramatically today. i am well now this group of people said they had never heard shelling as intense as little girl. i'm sure our parents away said we were born during the war with the nazis guy and we would die during a while. i hope the soil rejects peyton's dead body, right? how is it possible? they are next of kin? how can they do this? so my relatives during rush hour, we have their blood and they have aus that i do wanna. but the right you what i him say, there's no electricity. we have no idea what's going on around us. my son is fighting in dumbass. i haven't heard from him for 4 days. i don't even know if he's still

alive. do you? there was a little boy with the owner of this car is a shell, destroyed its wheel as he tried to drive his family to safety with silicon, it hit here and smashed the wheel. the rush and the shelling, even though they saw cars with signs, saying children inside driving back north to south carolina, the roads, quiet, ukrainian tanks itself shall strap it down to 0 near the upper risha eastern grain . oh gabriel, alexander his lie 1st in washington, d. c. so gabriel, what more did we hear about this phone call between the u. s. and ukranian presence? while the call apparently happened in the evening saturday night here washington time the call lasted a little over 30 minutes according to read out from the white house. the read out is essentially a summary of the call that the white house releases after president talks to

another foreign leader according to that read out and he was short. it was only about a paragraph or so the 2 leaders talked about security for ukraine and continued security support. on behalf of new us to ukraine. also talked about sanctions for continuing ramping up of sanctions and by an apparently towards sky. you said this would continue to go on and continue to be a point of that. the white house would continue to focus on what was not discussed or at least what was not mentioned in the read out from the white house or 2 things . any sort of calls for biden, talking about transferring of military aircraft to ukraine. that's something that's been talked about a bit, but there was no discussion of that between the 2 leaders, according to the readout, and also the no fly zone. it's lensky and others have been pushing for that. both nato and the white house have been reluctant to and flat out said they would not

participate in. there was no indication that this call that that was discussed either bottom line. no, this is one of several calls that have happened over the past week or so between president biden angel and ski. so it just shows how important the white house is taking this and how closely the president of the united states is watching events on the ground there. and then there was a zoom call gabriel between the ukrainian president and the, and a group of us senators. what do we know about that? yeah, that happened earlier on saturday. it was with a group of senators and members of house of representatives as well. their staff members over 200 people at some point on this call. but it was a video call according to what we've been hearing from that that does when she was pushing the u. s. lawmakers, members of congress for more humanitarian aid for more military aid,

but also apparently pushing the us congressmen and men and women to lawmakers to really follow through on this effort to bring a war crime charges against vladimir putin. apparently zalinski was pushing hard saying that he really needs the u. s. support in this moving forward. and according to what we're hearing from that call, lawmakers are very receptive to that and said that they would continue to push that way. we're hearing at least one high ranking senator said that he was going to push to get as much as $10000000000.00 to ukraine and military and humanitarian aid as soon as he could pushing it through congress. bottom line. no, it was bipartisan support for present. so when sky and everything that the ukraine's ukrainians are going through and have been going through for more than a week now. gabriel alexander in washington, thank you. fighting continued in several other cities across ukraine.

jonah haul has more from levin supervisor to this blogger. nikita dement off, he lives in the eastern city of her keys and he's explaining to his followers how their donations are being spent to help civilians on the front line. across ukraine, along shifting front lines from the north to the east and to the south. civilians are under attack when they emerge from basements and shelters. as here in the town of pin close to keep. it is often to a landscape they can neither recognise nor comprehend. homes destroyed hospitals, overwhelmed heating, water, and electricity cut off and with limited avenues of escape.

that's why safe passage is so important. now. humanitarian corridors out of vall, nevada, and the port city of mario pole in the south failed on saturday because of continued russian attacks. negotiations are said to be ongoing. ukraine's resistance has done much to slow russia's ground advance. so heavier fire power is being unleashed from the air. yet the ukrainian government urgent calls for a no fly zone have gone an onset, which explains this angry warning by president floaty mizzi lensky to the nato alliance. that he and that he would all the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you because of your weakness. and because of your lack of unity, nato is not willing to shoot down russian aircraft and risk being drawn into a wider war with russia. so ukraine must act alone,

for as long as its defense is lost. this is copied video from a russian helicopter gunship. and this is the sort of response ukraine's army is able to deliver. one helicopter gunship down. oh, and in the north, a russian warplane is down. it's wreckage smouldering among suburban homes. for those who do make it out of besieged and bombarded parts of the country, it is to leave that many come for now a place of safety behind the lines irina and her boys have fled to her keep leaving husband ru slammed behind to fight it is a feature of war that some are inspired to act with great courage. in this case, a 7 year old de mer comforting, his mom which when we get the children are terrified

and they don't know why they need to leave their home. i mean, like, i don't understand why i need to run away and leave my husband behind. we left him alone to protect our see to moscow says it is not attacking civilian targets. the claims to the contrary of fake news that the destruction in city centers and residential areas across the country is the work instead of ukrainian forces and saboteurs. try telling that to the people here. wow. yeah. so i say to the people under occupation in the south of the country, in places like has san buddy and on the root of rushes advance in supper easier. all 3 places saw a large protests on saturday against the presence of russian troops. and try

telling irina and her children that russian forces are liberating ukraine as they claim from nazis and nationalists as they make their way into a bomb shelter even here, where they had hoped to escape the war. jonah, how al jazeera believe occur, volker is a former us ambassador to nato, he says, and no fly zone can be achieved over certain ukrainian cities. i think it is essential. i think it can be done in a way that does not risk a major escalation between russia and the west for a variety of reasons. one, it's a humanitarian gesture, the monetary and mission. we're protecting civilian populations. to we make it clear that we are not intending to attack russian ground forces or russian aircraft . only return fire is fired upon escort russian aircraft out of the zone if they

come in and only fire they refused to leave. so we were deliberately trying to limit this 3. it is limited in scope. we're not doing this over the entirety of ukraine, only kiev and western grange. you create a secure space for the population. i think on those terms a no fly zone can be effective, can make a difference for saving lives and does not necessarily need to military exclusion who will never affirmatively accept your oh, i think it finds, i'm just fine. that'll never happen. but good respects is force if we show that we are present and determined and clear about our rules. he and more importantly, his military one understand that one of the things definitely does not want is to draw the west into the war on the side of ukraine. he desperately wants to avoid that as joey. so i think this is something we can do to support and saving

a great lives without escalating the war. still ahead on a shell, a solidarity thousands gathering cities across europe in support of ukraine. ah, there's still plenty of winter cold around in the u. s. it stretches down to the rockies, but then of course are going to be cold in early march. but there are warnings of snow or down to southern california, the mountains. they're all right across the middle plains, up towards the great lakes as well. so this is cody share, you saw that and this is much warmer they've been ingesting some more from the gulf is full of moisture to and as always, when the 2 come together, you get a line of thunderstorms or potentially quite dangerous. there on sunday,

the running up as was kentucky and tennessee and then back towards northern part of texas nessa snow on the northern edge in oklahoma. so that different still exists. the showers get possibly at their worst with tornado risk on that lives at rest of their ohio valley and to the east. and again, winter will follow the drop in temperature in all those places. county warm kansas that route cross for at the maximum by day we're currently in the twenty's quite a windy patent at the moment of the sudden bahamas, the turks and k cost all the virgin owls and also his span, yoder windy and cherries and persistent downpours. there, i think in south america, the line of persistent rank is moving north with the sun, but we've still got some tremendous thunderstorms down there in uruguay. ah, i'm counting the cost, the can energy reserves and china help rockhill bluntly impact the lack of western

sanctions with grain exports from ukraine, disrupted while res. mounts about global food security, and will you energy sanction put pressure on the in mas, military, counting the cost or the al jazeera, a diverse range of stories from across the globe from the perspective of on networks journalists on al jazeera blue. the me again, you are watching as a reminder of our top stories. this ukrainian president, vadim is lensky is urging his people to continue the fight as russia's invasion of ukraine and says, 11th day,

he's pleated with the west for more. wade and is pushing for a no fly zone. russian president vladimir putin, his warning, any country that tries to impose a no fly zone of the ukraine would be a participant in a military conflict. it comes as russian forces continue that push towards keep out visa and mastercard. say they are suspending all operations in russia effective immediately. it means any credit card issued in the country will no longer be able to be used. the block applies worldwide. cars issued elsewhere won't work in russia . the companies are the latest to isolate moscow from the international community following the invasion of ukraine. economist them how much hide us as a decision by visa a mastercard will have a devastating effect on many sectors of society. however, you know, i mean this damage is not going to be only for the, for the clients or the, or the, the car carriers. there will be a damage for the company as well, for the visa and,

and other credit card companies. if this is step is, this is really in effect. now let me know we are talking about the, the, the, some over 210000000 cardholders in, in russia. and they said they have statistics show that around $850000.00 card issued every month if we're talking about the average of $800.00. so we're talking about the $126000000000.00 of bills will not be settled and who is going to be responsible for that. if you're talking about big sectors, for example, of course some of the sectors like energy sectors, like you guys like petrol, this are not involved. they included in the and the sanctions. so there will be a movement, there will be a damage, you know,

for the financial institution or 4 or 4 companies will have like accounts for individual. definitely this will be there will be really the effects on on them. and it may triple a lot of businesses. are you a secretary of state antony lincoln has arrived in moldova, as the country faces a surge of refugees from ukraine. lincoln is expected to provide re insurances, and american support to one of europe's poorest countries. earlier he was in poland where hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have crossed the border. the u. n. is predicting the number of people slain, the war will reach one and a half 1000000 within the next 24 hours. as amos ravi reports now from the medical border crossing on the polish side of the ukrainian border from okay in that is our us put the boyish job, but you brought back us. we had zachery have now been that of korean. but last, as their beats and the high no mitchell, close the skies over ukraine. now she says to stop russian bombs falling on their

cities, that they are more you more. please post the skies for your brain. help us well on a desperate plea from the ukrainian people. something that us secretary of state anthony, blinking on his visit to poland, made clear will not happen. a 45 minute meeting with ukraine's foreign minister at the border, a public show of support. at his country's darkest hour. the entire world stands with ukraine. just as i'm standing here in your brain with my friend, my colleague, interpolate with a foreign minister of ukraine. if they continue to provide us with necessary weapons, the price will be lower. this will save many life in ukraine. many houses,

many children will be born, many sufferings will be avoided. despite the symbolic visit, direct american military help, something that could risk triggering a global conflict, stops at the polish border. volunteer say the anxiety uncertainty, frustration and sadness of refugees at the often chaotic medic, a border crossing must be seen to be understood. having skipped it on his tour, blinking, they say, may struggle to comprehend the level of help ukraine needs. so that is one thing and i thing and actually doing something is another thing. i can say a lot of boards do, but it doesn't mean anything. if i don't do anything with my hands, i'm not present here, i don't see it in my with my eyes, millions more could soon be making their way on the refugee trail. short of direct military intervention by anyone. it will continue to be a growing challenge for ukrainian forces to stop the russian advance,

let alone push back. what we have been seeing here is a medical border crossing is more and more metrics and volunteer fighters with military year with medical supplies coming to this border, crossing, crossing into ukraine, and then making their way to the front lines. ukrainians know they are isolated and largely alone in this fight. waiting for help from the outside world. fighter jets attack aircraft air defense systems, the kind of help they need to stop russia over running their country. the kind of help that is not coming in basra b o jazeera medical border crossing eastern, pull it up thousands of ukrainians continue to try to escape the intense fighting. these were the scenes in butcher, which is on the outskirts of the capital. keep many families play signs on their vehicle saying children, or evacuation, and temporary humanitarian sci fi in the cleaning. cities of murray,

you poll and vulnerable, vulnerable car is now on hold. both russia and ukraine are accusing each other of violating the deal. bennett smith has more than years. the russian defense ministry says in coordination with the ukrainians. it established a humanitarian corridor on saturday between 10 am and 4 pm to allow civilians to leave mary awful and vulnerable her. these 2 strategic cities that are surrounded by russian forces and fighters from earl de next, and le ganske people's republic. but the russians say the cravings continued to shell these corridors. and so it wasn't possible to have this for the sci fi to be effective, am for civilians to leave and fight. according to denise pershing, who is the leader that annette's people's republic. he says no civilians were able to leave van of aha. now he also told al jazeera that the reason he called in russian force is to help in the fight in don bass against ukraine forces. because

the british in the america americans particularly had been arming and training fighters from ukraine. and they feared in, in durham, dun exc, and la ganske that they were about to be invaded. but ball chillers ball. now what happened is that at the end of last year, the west started active support of armed forces of ukraine. they started supplying lethal weapons. and loss of aircraft from the us and britain, and hundreds and hundreds of units of armaments. they also supply the government of ukraine with instructions over a long period of time. and our intelligence was reporting that manpower, armaments and ammunitions were being moved towards the demarcation line with us as important to point out that mario paul and villanova form part of this historic province of don bass in ukraine that are done at sc and were ganske, want to be part of their republics, republics recognized by russia. but at the moment the forces from 2 nets and were

ganske when that im putin invaded ukraine. the only control about a 3rd of the territory that they lay claim to the ukrainians had about 2 thirds. but that, of course, is rapidly diminishing as are due next can lugens forces advance with russian help . but mary, apple and villanova are critical areas for don bass. a marches have taken place all across europe in support of ukraine. thousands of people are turned out in major city to rally against the russian assault. sonya guy ego has more from london side by side holding hands a show of solidarity in munich, a human chain across the city, protesting against russia's invasion of ukraine. near by the russian consulate, its entrance vandalized with red paint, a show of anger against vladimir putin. the man who protest her say must waste

justice for his actions. are greek for after reading, i despise war, any kind of war. and i really want to set an example. i think peter has been courted for far too long. for 20 years. the west has been trying to keep him quiet so that he doesn't get upset, and it simply has to stop now. ah, in rome, the mood may have been more festive, but the message to put in just as critical, italy may have been one of russia's closest allies in europe, with many politicians having previously boasted of strong ties. now, many are seeking to distance themselves across europe. cities that have welcome to russian money are having to reflect on the effect that it had on their businesses and politics. oh, among them london, a major beneficiary of rush in cash as the end of the soviet union. but that has not calmed any criticism of putin or his allies. here. the more missiles raining

down on ukraine, the more solidarity people here are showing towards ukrainians. more people, hey, want us for the west to step up and take decisive action against hootin and his assault on ukraine. there's going to be a genocide. why do we wait? they will go in. but only after this genocide, how outrageous we need to do it now. oh, in the hague, home of the international criminal court, many called for an end to the invasion and blamed putin himself not russians for the conflict. all the while ukraine continues to come under attack, yet many europeans are determined to signal less support for the country and to show ukrainians. they are not alone. sonya yeah, go out a 0 london. the russian offensive in ukraine could become a stumbling block in efforts to restore the 2015 iran nuclear deal. russian foreign
