been, what is always the russians demoralized on, motivated and splitting into small groups except hominy, civilians, raping and looting. nothing is happening even though their homes have been reduced to rubble. some are choosing to remain a man in the town of boca says, despite the loss and the shock. they're no longer afraid. natasha name else's era. shortly we'll hear from natasha butler, who's in the very fast. let's tend to, among khan who is in here for us. m ron, we've had from presidents that and ski the last hour. so what does he have to say today? was very much a statement of defiance with for elsa. probably can't hear it, but we are a hearing, an air raid siren that's going off in the distance. that's probably tools the west of the city and things like that. he was referring to our, if a read you his statement, he says, it's impossible to say how many days we still have to free ukrainian land. but we

can say, we will do it. we've already reached a strategic turning point. a also urged the international community for more sanctions on russia. now the president zalinski would have been speaking some way in the capital, says he don't know where that is. he may well be moving locations probably every day, but at that's not quite confirm. we just don't know where he is, but very much he's very visible every day. he gives a speech and every day it's more and more defined. he's also speaking to world leaders. he's also addressed the british parliament, for example, in the last few days. but let me just show you the same on the streets head completely empty. all those restaurants completely shut. however, the, all people still coming into the city, they're fleeing places like i repeat, for example, and they coming into a cave. ah, they hoping to get supplies,

some food, whatever, and some fuel, some of them will try and stay here. others will try and leave too much to say for area say, for example, live, or even fleet ukraine completely. now, what are the law, what a lot of the restroom says are actually doing is opening up kitchens to give those people coming in food. we've also been out on the streets, went to a supermarket today. there is food on the shelf, but they simply don't have the stuff. the suit, monkey wrench, you know, new employees about 30 people. yeah. there are only 6 people that had shown up for what 50 percent of this city is actually evacuated already. am on. we've been focusing on this convoy, this russian convoy that's been heading to ends cave over the last couple of weeks or so it suddenly seems to change, stretch it a while. can you tell us? well, satellite imagery has shown that that convoy has dispersed in places. now the convoy began to fall just outside the west of keys on our own. around march,

the 5th. it actually got to about 40 kilometres long full of heavy russian armor, the ukrainians of by this strike some of that. so that may will be a reason that is actually dispersing other reports coming in this suggest that some of the army may have been redeployed to other front lines. oh, another reason for that may well be. none of this is actually confirmed, but may, will be the fact that they may, will be regrouping for an assault on keep. they also may, will just be re supplying a convoy as well. the russians about a lot of problems supplying that convoy. so it may well be that that's part of the reason, a lot of information, as i've said earlier, is coming into us. some of that propaganda. some of it may, will be true, but we just don't know. all we really know is there has been a slight change of tactics and parts of that 40 kilometer long convoy that's headed or that was headed towards key of that stop. on the,

the west of here is actually beginning to disperse. but the reasons why are all a very difficult to ascertain, completely will probably know in the next couple of days. okay, thank you for that. and ron kon, in case we can now turn to the sy where european leaders have been about to hold a news conference off the 2nd day of talks about ukraine in france. let's have a listen to what they have to say. oh no, no, i'm saying at the events i can hear and insert protests in speaking english in the background. okay. apologies. we seem to be waiting for our translation and we are in the site. we're expecting

a press conference from european leaders. after 2nd day of talks in france, who expected to hear from the french president emmanuel, my crawl along with the european council president charles michelle, anna ursula van de lion and the european commission president had been meeting for 2 days at the summit in versailles. we can have a listen now, so we have to see it. we see how strong we are, how solid we are discounted. we have come together and paper unprecedented sanctions. toyota, supporting strongly the ukranian people here also from a financial point of view that there are many refugees, support, humanitarian support. it complete providing equipment, material to please the reduced lunch, including military quitman,

super daughter, john williamson audit. we are committed on the bus. will de morgan through there to support ukraine mortgage i told you about our georgia dilemma, vivian, rudolph. d. a rich student trough. we have set this solemnly a little bit more mobile friendly appeal to our ukrainian friends to be able to do members of the european family more prophecy. lillian, i repeat between the up. it was an ocean orders. you looks very distracting to reform in full force, a sure more opium, the choice that is made. it was you to be in the back or to have to be able to do bait a lot of that and do fun. this and gender passamore very simply. more and rapidly the re over pillars to day. i certainly do

that as we are looking to the future and the law. i suppose you for a momentum to this european project on the issue, a committed momentum. the question of energy did in every theory source, with about the decision that it looks like we have a climate neutrality by to may 2015 on we have to make progress. if you make cortisol dental other 3 important items that were disgusting, do, let us through. the question of price is only up everywhere in europe. result with the impact also on the company's. the bonus to hold, hold on what the overall dependency was. his tooth bed reported will be repeated obvious, and where we have to develop this ambition to free ourselves to conform all kinds of act in accordance with our interest. is it with the objective auction it, you know, there's more who are probably push working in operations on these points. it,

i'm all i would like to was with the member states with the european commission. let's see, to the new talk. this is falling on our work because you know, to turn as in victory whole. that is echo here in a gender reducing for the 2nd point. let's assume that default as a question of defense to force you. so no, no, we're all poly, many of us recorded league about progress that has been out be made deuce men 2 weeks ago. we were also needed to shovel in a different you're in a different world. didn't you already do such that we've all that before. so this is question of european defense, which, oh does we have been devoting ourselves to, to commit ourselves in this meeting here, or no judgment. we are committing ourselves to a strategy to shoot to this only show that what's other fields of action and the

investment from all deeper through the, for you that you can be deployed in industrial, in all continuously shows. or you looking at the different stakes, the different challenges, also list best buy things or the challenge of space. for example, they don't low see. don't tell nobody i met with a time table to confuse, confuse, emission, you feel good for the commission. so susan, on this subject and rick mortar, finally, the 3rd point item that was mentioned $50.00 to consolidate this. you economic wave, more bullet with, we offer a piece of security and prosperity in your opinion, last it to the most. and it is with that dimension. which belongs to us all did it, is that decisions said both pend, this is, will basis, would need to be more rebuttal to more solid, more resilient. so there's more outcomes for our commitments in terms of health don't cover to devil to local stores and push the important is because you,

since all the nearby seals, most of the centers are involved. ambitions and political matter are to teach raw materials, critical materials, literacy to the teaching, which i focus on here quite as a to be continued to be very committed to what our auto group on to, to move in a few words who fought suited to please old which to learn don't also express to day on the to do a pair wise. all the european leaders as you girls bottles to share the visual importer. not only this rooms and importance of the decisions that we're going to make, the poor national key for the future generations will fail to more the supposed to come down to the varied in your funding mantles of this project for peace. leslie to prosperity, to so security, these are the challenges for your i father. single factor in order to doctors in shorter than tangible results can be brought about on goals to prove this warranty

for more of how should it sovereignty less fragility, ma'am? so that we can create our own destiny looters window and we will have the opportunity to come back to this soon. as we all know, with the, with research implementation, the number of subjects i'm still working on to a pipes, we will come back, for example, let's use this in brussels, uncle fuel. and what is the preview? what is one intentions? when it is told, you have an extraordinary european summit before january to on the default security and defense on it. once again, i want to thank the man on my car. other side, the law hosting us here in the sy, december, which is a symbol the subpoena is called an op in where we see them a more history of the history of europe. finish was and we made a choice to meet here. often we spoke to, so if at all the can bring about this wondering about this dream for europe. thank

you. thank you, miss massey shall. thank you, manuel manuel, while the sea, thank you for seeing me here in more shoppers ye this end. where in this building, which is so loaded with history in the new 10 is the field view chart of even crane your in the future of your pin on the mac or union, and the of r t democracies from all cal de fair nor they discussed. so no destiny is recalled as a result, the last link it all at the crane is part the year panda. pooty family to trend at you know that i still couldn't go to truly alex to his or aggression on ukraine attack. hopefully it is a to an attack against democracies as to what i need against our sovereignty of state, alabama against saddler. freedom was the people are to choose their own money, destiny to shape the future. so don't the way, don't we respond to day years at talk to the odious

n attacks against you terrain. it turned out to determine in so much that both the future, the ot crane as that of man with the law union, latino and philippines even beyond the european continent to see then also let us remain loyal to the principles he see. no, actually up until now, thought about our responses, said unity of the unity of a to some doroty said the, tell me nothing to termination. this crisis has indeed made us face up to our responsibilities in the face of a new reality. first, our duty to continue ensuring reliable, secure, and affordable supply of energy to european consumers in the midterm. this means getting rid of our dependency on russian gas by diversification of supply, by massively investing and renewables, renewables at home grown, they create jobs here in europe. they are strategic investment and our security and

in our independence. and this is why the european commission outlined re power is you know, this week we power you as a plan to diversify suppliers and switch to renewables. by mid me, we will come up with a proposal to phase our, to our dependency on russian gas, oil and coal by 2027, back by the necessary national and european resources. but we also dressed energy prices fights by mid may. the commission were present options to optimize the electricity market design so that it better supports the green transition. but consumers and business need we leave now and they are form this week. the commission came forward with guidance on price regulation in these

exceptional circumstances and the possibility of a new temporary crisis framework for state aid to support struggling businesses. this is complimented by the option giving to member states, to tax windfall profits from energy groups. and finally, by the end of this month, the commission will present options to limit the contagion effect of the rise of gas crisis to electricity prices. finally, we need to be ready for the next winter, so we will to set up a task force that will design a refilling plan for the next winter and to coordinate the operation. beyond this 1st step, the european union needs to define a longer term. you gas storage policy and therefore the commission will table

a proposal to fill up under ground gas storage is to at least 90 percent 90 percent of their capacity by the 1st of october each year. so you see it's a whole big package and this will be our insurance policy against supply disruption . similarly, the leaders also discuss foot prices and global food security. and here to the commission will come up, come forward with options to address these important issues. fourteen's war has also fundamentally altered to europe, security environment to defend europe. we will need different forces and different capabilities. significant additional defense investments in europe will be needed. and i welcome that some leaders have announced ambitious steps to increase defense

spending more will follow. but we need to avoid fragmentation that we need a coordinated approach. because this only will ensure that we maintain a military technological edge in our, you, a pin, industrial base. and that interoperability is given between hours you are pin armed forces. this will be the focus of our work in the next weeks to come. i want to be very clear that we need to closely coordinate, also with nato. nato is the strongest military alliance in the world. thus, i welcome that the leaders have task us to prepare an analysis of the defense investment gaps and to make sure that we have a clear plan how to deal with those gaps in europe by mid me when the commission is presenting the results of this undertaking. the 2nd principle i mentioned was

unity. it certainly guided us when we slew it swiftly imposed altogether 3 successive waves of sanctions on the kremlin. with an immediate hard hitting effect . we will now come forward with a force package of sanctions. these sanctions will further isolate russia from the global economic system, increasing further the cost of proteins invasion to ukraine. and finally, a word on solidarity, which so many europeans are showing shining examples of in these days by welcoming with open arms. more than 2000000 people who have now fled the war in ukraine. i want to thank all e u member states, and in particular, the countries in the front line that is poland, romania, slovak, shined, hungary,

and of course our partner, moldova. because the people of ukraine need and deserve all the support. and so do the countries that welcome them. the commission has set up the solidarity platform to coordinate operational and financial support and reception capacity. we're also using the flexibility of the e budget to the fullest. so that member states can finance actions for refugees, like for example, housing or schooling or medical care and other topics. this could free this flexibility within the commission could fleet free several 1000000000 euros over the coming years. for exactly these purposes. the ukraine and people are showing a men, miscarriage, and the people that stands up so bravely for european values is clearly part of the

european family of nations. so while this terrible war rages on, we should already reflect carefully about what comes next. the membership applications of ukraine, expressions of national sovereignty of its will and its right to choose its own destiny. today we have opened a pathway towards us for ukraine. they are part of the european family. thank you. with all that he provided for cbo who said that he don't adamant because they not me to miss you. president, let them gentlemen who did her that her like you very much for being to submit here . falling this dance. i am a developer. he don't summit patrick mom let him president her she did. let's press the button about these experience about discussions of you,
