to leave the city of villanova, which is surrounded by forces from russia. and the next the front line has moved about sort of a few kilometers or to my left towards von of ha, but it remains a very dynamic environment. there is still a constant sound of shelling. so although they're supposed to be a sci fi, there is still a firing going on, and it's going to be an enormous challenge for the people who want to leave vol, nevada, to make it here. certainly along the road we came in on, there were still a clearly an active battlefield grad rockets landed just a few meters from our convoy as we headed to book us. the people here have been living with conflict like this, the 8 years it piece piece piece. we only want peace. these women say the done yet, military says here, it's mainly fighting what it called, ukrainian nationalists, that a russian description, the paramilitaries,

2:18 am
with civilian life, have increased the coming to attack throughout ukraine, despite russia, say he's only getting military targets, but ukraine's ministry of information, the culture that telecontact. katrinka is trading for more help from western pals. freedom festival will prevail, would really then cease. and secondly, 0 of course, more than 1000000 people which are going out to europe as immigrants record use from ukraine. but there are more than 150000 men who came from europe ukrainians to fight. so fight will continue until the victory of ukraine, also ukraine and since, as in what we believe, definitely additional support a needed and for this purpose is because we will continue to exist for sure, on tears. we need additional support, of course, from our western allies such as embargo and margot,
2:19 am
for oil and gas straight was russia, such as no fly zone in ukraine. north lies on is a target. so as in burger for you, for oil and gas to so as additional sanction, sewage, a where are now complete in 2 barstow we're europeans, colleagues, all this port to put in in a very different, different and difficult situation. need transform in now on eyes are russia to knows in korea because many western goods are bend now to come to russia. there is a switched all facebook and twitter. and so russians now can feel, what does it mean to fight, or is it green? or russia has warn countries against hosting ukrainian military aircraft defense ministry says they will be regarded as being involved in the conflict. mrs. d. m. we know for sure, a bunch of korean combat aircraft that previously flew to romania and other border
2:20 am
countries. we draw attention to the fact that the use of the input network of these countries as hubs for ukraine and military aviation with the subsequent use. again, there is an armed forces can be considered the involvement of these countries in the armed conflict. let's speak now to our course one. my kind of standing by for is in washington dc. and mike there is now talk of poland, cindy in plains. what is the likelihood of that indeed, yes. well the secretary of state has to be blink and isn't europe at the moment, but he gave interviews to several us some morning tv shows, and he made clear that this is under discussion. he said bluntly that the u. s. was talking with poland about the possibility of backfilling cropped to poland. should poland move across into ukraine. now this is a significant move. lincoln also said this was a matter for discussion between president biden and president landscape when they had a compensation yesterday evening. he said he's also discussed it with president by
2:21 am
and then the rest of the cabinet. so this is a work in motion. they can make it clear that this may not apply to all countries, all allies that supply across to the ukrainians. he says each case will be taken as it comes. this is what he had to say. we are on we're looking actively now. at the question of airplanes, the poland may provide to, to ukraine and looking at how we might be able to backfill should on decide to produce those but 2 hours of supply. those plants can speak to a timeline, but i can just say you were looking at it very, very actively. now also on the discussion is the issue of oil sanctions against russia, which to date have been avoided. however, the secretary of state saying that this is a consideration, he says the administration is actively looking into ways to apply such sanctions
2:22 am
and at the same time not affect the global old distribution. now this is a sensitive point in the senate as well as there is a bill in the process of being passed which would imposed oil sanctions that may be the instrument at by which sanction saw applied. but oil prices are political poison in the u. s. and one must remember that 8 percent of the u. s. liquid fuel imports come from russia in the last week. the price of fuel had risen by $0.40 a gallon some $0.52 in the past month. so this could well have a major political impact if the sanctions are applied. or i might, thanks about my kind of a in washington d. c. lead said brigand voice, richard boesky, who's in warsaw. he is the editor in chief of visegrad insight, which is a political magazine, which i welcome to the program. this issue of planes at there's no doubt that ukraine needs air power if poland is to provide the planes. what are the inherent risks in that? do you think although the past 3 case
2:23 am
a false pretext that we have heard also has been voice in the comments from russia that end in a 2 planes would be involved in the conflict. native planes, polish plants included, are not going to be involved in the conflict, and they're not going to be flying starting from the air stripes in any of the nato basis, located in the 2 countries. so this is the point which has to be raised and made very clear what is however, under discussion is transfer of the machines so that they, the machines themselves would serve in a ukrainian armed forces. and this discussion, this consideration as being confirmed late in the afternoon today, my dispos person of the polish government. however, without any conclusions as obviously the transfer would involve also additional
2:24 am
risks, logistical risks, and one the machines would be trust. exactly, if that issue of the trans, sorry, is a big problem, isn't it? one of the complications that tell us more about well 1st of all. busy the transfer to ukraine by land would mean that they are transported along the routes that the big numbers of migrants are coming possible russian attack along those lines may involve even further casualties. that far the set aside, the very possibility of losing the machines themselves. so that's, that's one that is something to be considered flying. on the other hand from poland may be seen and used by russia as a, as a pre tags for more hostile action. and has been, may be treated by russia as provo cation, if not considered. and not prepared carefully mitigating those risk,
2:25 am
which i believe there are. there are ways to do that. it's very indeed, very, very difficult. so what you're saying, it would have to be, this would have to be a nato decision, right? not a polish one. naida has to be consulted because there are considerable risks involved and u. s. has made the 1st decision and to be announced that it, it says no obstacle for such for such a move. also, many nato countries are providing arms supplies through poland to ukraine, and that was, that was not a huge that was agreed and consulted with and within nato. and the decision has been made when the visual countries. so nato, as a, as a whole alliance doesn't need to approve for such as such a decision by poland. poland, however, is,
2:26 am
is trying also to secure a confirmation that the loss of planes, the transfer of planes would be somehow compensated in new machines. that will be transferred from the right to be some kind of backfill going on. what appetite finally is there in poland for this is didn't i think i'm right in saying the post president under his due previous he said that sending planes in would be tons about getting involved in the conflict. yes, i think there isn't this your vocabulary. poland is not going to send a polish fighter jets colors and a machine property machine pilots. when they remain under polish control, they are in our bases in poland and they are not taking part in military operations in the ukraine. and that needs to be clearly said from, from the start as poland is also neighboring with russia. and we do not provoke
2:27 am
russia in any way by any activity that would involve polish, poland, in this conflict. and only later we can discuss and this is negotiation is ongoing . how the machines themselves wouldn't, would become, would, would come to ukraine possession. and as you korean jets might, they might stay part in the military operations in defense of, of ukraine against leaders. but certainly by clarity is critical. here, isn't it? should belsky, we appreciate your analysis. thanks very much. now, protests against russia's invasion of ukraine have been held in multiple countries with calls for western pals to do more to broker a peaceful end to the violence. meanwhile, in russia, more than 4200 people were detained at anti war demonstrations in several cities. the bark reports now from london with a crisis in ukraine, deepening on
2:28 am
a daily basis. concerns are growing here in london and in other european capitals about the direction of travel, of this incredibly unpredictable war. as you can see, the campaign for nuclear disarmament is out in force or the placards calling for a stop to the war. i come from lithuania, i feel like nato is doing everything they can. i do not necessarily think they should send they troops to ukraine. i'd leave just yet. i hope we can help with. i'm ignition support my me. i intelligence. i'm from west puke, right? it's terribly painful. with crying every day, my sister there, my nephew in key, if you need basement. mom showed the city with family. and it's terribly painful, it's unbelievable. but people of ukraine are very strong. you know, if you think you think that western powers could go further than they have done,
2:29 am
oh, definitely definitely in what way. but firstly, to stop the gas coaches, the gas in oil, from russia, because this is the most important, i think, i believe there is global disdain for russia's war in ukraine. this is catholic storm, a former soviet states, still heavily under the influence of russia. ha of this is the chilean capital santiago, where people are calling for an end to the violence. yes. in russia, they have been courageous acts of defiance and multiple cities. this is saint petersburg. ah, and this is moscow where police are out in fools. mother the another, the kremlin threatened to jail demonstrators for 15 years. and it's illegal to call the invasion of ukraine. anything but a special operation. ah,
2:30 am
on the edge of red square, to protest to sing the ukrainian national anthem before being dragged away. large numbers of russians opposed to the war and now fleeing that country, squeezed by western sanctions and persecuted by the russian states. yet, many of these anti war demonstrators were now at the edge of an a basis that we might be able to pull ourselves back from time. now say many of these demonstrators for western leaders to help braga, an almost impossible political solution to help bring us all back from the brain. ne faulkner al jazeera london. ah, all right, let's have a great chicken. the headlines here and al jazeera and a russian forces are continuing their, pushed towards cave. heavy shelling is hit, towns close to the capital, at least 3 people report.
