a dean to trying to get people evacuated from the city. this seems to be a breakthrough. and people are now being allowed to leave several russian strikes, targeted, ukraine's capital on monday. and apartment brown was one of the buildings head despite moscow insisting it's only focusing on military sites. iran con, report some cage just after 11 am local time people and keep her to loud bangs as ukrainian defense systems shot down russian missiles. fragments of the missile landing captured on security camera narrowly missing some one on the mid morning walk. it followed an attack and the early hours of monday, when what is thought to be an artillery shell hit this residential apartment in the north, the capital maxim carries what little he has left from the building on promotional rail. mama was, i woke up actually my mom woke me up with him, there was smoke and us everywhere we had in the closet. and when we thought that we were being captured, that the russians were getting in through the door. and i wish the police take

pictures of the rubble, others look home rescue efforts, as you can say, are still going on. the civil brigade say the police or the fire service are still looking through the building, trying to see if there's anybody else trapped inside. sorry to see there any more bodies inside, but the overwhelming sense is that this is a civilian building. there is, there is nothing more that you can say about that looking at it. so residential book, the problem one resident had very strong words for the russian president and owner of the water. who all b. it is a city. he is just a jerk, a total jerk. i've got nothing else to say. oh, you see i've got my no words to describe it for blair. there were from well anyway, there's more fighting on the front lines of boucher and a pain between russian and ukrainian voices. but the war coming in to keep,

although expected is unnerving for many here ukrainians. wonder whether this is a one off or a sign of what's to come in the battle for the capitol emron car out there. not keith clearly. and he spoke to keys mer vitale. clinical, he says russia spreading false information about what's happening in ukraine. their rushes propaganda. dazzled. all russians and explain this war. they, it, darn good. just the military forces. and the, they explain bow a freely and some mission. what pep russian soldiers are to bring the bees to working against nationalists, fascist radicals is everything. it's everything is liar ah, to day way havoc beatrice eve several buildings started with the where leave the

school people was destroyed. people died many easier to to rank it at zag to keys is not just 1st one. we have a lot of experience in the past couple weeks. what do it, what deeds, russian aggress, as of course, they target to bring the, the goal to bring benny to the city. after this pictures, we more and more sure, we marry you up. we will do quite russians killed our children, destroyed our building, destroyed our city. we're ready to fight, ready to fight and defend our city law. never ever russians the gong to our city. i promise that as a matter of keith and i told the people,

the citizens told everyone exactly the same right now. many people, a lot, all of the population every want a receipt is keyvi lera have idea to take the weapons of the hand right now with peaceful probation as doctors, actors, music, or musician. and the any progression big the web us and are ready to defend our future. we want to take you now to the united nations where the russian ambassador to the un, the sally and the bends. that is speaking. this is coming after the organization for security and cooperation in europe, the only c o i. c e briefs, the security council about the war in ukraine. let's listen to what have russian ambassador has. 3, would it be good quickly with news avoiding any actions that would strengthen

somebody's security to the detriment of the security of any other country or this isn't rained in many i received documents starting with still 1094. when the opening of the code of conduct for military political, ooh, failed, was adopted, than at the highest level. the european, it's security, charter of a stumble was adopted in 1999 in december, 2010 at the oversee summit in as donna. this principal was in an expanded form unambiguously concerned with the western can made a top priority out of the right of any country to choose it, ally, and regarding the fact that this cannot be done to the detriment of other people, security is something that our colleagues prepared, preferred to forget to day mr. route fed that russia is requiring, requiring unilateral sanctions natural agreements rather for itself it oh guarantees rather for itself. the detonator for the series crisis in european

security occurring due to the trends i mentioned was the situation in ukraine. i believe that here as well, the o s e is directly to blame and the chairman ship who prevented it into ali through the like representative and contact group. and the polish of championship is directly to brain to who are prevented it into area through the special representative the contact group to get the ukrainian side to fully inconsistently implement the mens packet of measures. the scheme of actions was crystal clear, 1st and foremost, to ensure direct data between key of tonight's gonna gansler and also to ensure unbiased observance of the situation by the special monitoring mission of the i. c . e for says it's leadership was required to engage in constructive cooperation with the authorities of tonight's gonna gang. i stipulated in the mandate of this mission approved by the permanent cancel of the i c e. in line with this mandate,

the mission should not have ignored the violations of human rights and meet mass media. freedom breaches throughout the entire ukrainian tarantino failed to notice the blatant facts that attested to the unfurling of aggressive nationalism, unit system, and the numerous cases of discrimination against the russian speaking population. furthermore, there were bruce violations of human rights in ukraine discrimination laws about state language and education. and in a just people's adopted primarily targeted against a, the russian language and the millions of russian speaking population. instead of this, we saw that the a, c, e o b to be played with the ukranian authorities. and they were categorically rejected the key provision of men sc. a direct dial, the dumbass preferring to talk to their fellow countrymen living there in the language of guns and shedding by flagrant b, sabotaging its own obligations,

he did everything it could to destroy. the minced agreements with russia has consistently urged ukraine to respect the wishes of the inhabitants of dumbass. and that a gentleman desire to speak in their own language and to teach their children in it . and to honor those who are, who freed these lands from the fascist and not those who fought on the side of his people and who killed civilians during the 2nd world war. but a keith did not want to hear us what it was and had the same time the west headed up by the us instead of forcing ukraine to implement its obligations under the men's agreements, did everything to it, ignoring the sabotage of men. furthermore, nato countries punch ukraine full of modern weapons and send to military instructors. and in every way help the militarization of the region. the actions of it's west and back as were perceived by key f as a cart blash to conduct a minute tree provocations in dumbass. at the end of january, february,

the refusal to implement linked was stated loud and clear by the almost all the senior leadership of ukraine and music is at a confirmed the best. during these who had cancel meeting on the 17th of every after this, there was a sharp listing of the situation along the entire contact line. numerous sci fi violations were recorded and civilians. homes was shelled as were schools and other civilian facilities. unfortunately, this data cause of active, there was a significant increase the threat of the recurrence of full scale hostilities like in 20142015. the population other public encountered the real threat of direct destruction by the key of authorities. a wave of refugees poured into our country as we found out later from documents recovered from ukrainian soldiers during our military operation. they were given an order to stop military actions against l. b, r and d

b out back in march. a copy of these documents are available in the russian miniature event site operation hampered these plans. i against russia. there is now a large scale information war and the facilities in debiana albia, a shamelessly being portrayed by western media as the result of a miniature operation in ukraine. they are banding about false reports, about apparent indiscriminate bombing of ukrainian towns and cities without any justification whatsoever. there is sent the ship of the information space total censured in these conditions receiving in objective or that is the russian ambassador to the united nations responding to the briefing earlier by the organization for security and corporation in europe. the o. s. c e, which brief the un security council about the situation in ukraine. the lacy

saying at that time, the actions of russia in ukraine are shameful and amount to state terrorism. here what is ation saying that schools, hospitals, and kindergarten to a deliberately being targeted with internationally band weapons, while the russian ambassador to the un responding that the o. s. c has blatantly sided with the ukranian authorities, the o se he says did not respect the minsk agreements did not help implement misc security agreement. and he says, a large scale information war is ongoing against russia. now a short while ago, we heard from the un secretary general antonia gutierrez, who warned that the war in ukraine could spread misery far beyond its waters. who terry says, there's a risk of what he called a hurricane of hung. russia ukraine represents more than over ruled supply of sunflower oil and about 70 percent of the world's wits. you could alone

provides more than half of the world food programs. wits supplied, full, full, and fertilizer brought fertilizer prices are skyrocketing, supply chains are being disrupted. and the costs and delays of transportation of important goods when available are at record levels. and all of these is you think the broadest the harvest and planting the seeds for political instability and unrest at on the globe drain prices. if already exceeded those at the start of the end of spring and the food riots of 2007, 2008, the air fails, global food prices index is at the it's highest level ever 45 african and least developed countries important at least one, sir, that the weeds from ukraine and rossa 18 of those countries import at least 50

percent. this includes countries like book in a fossil, egypt, democratic republic of the congo, lebanon libya, somalia, so done, and the eman. we must do everything possible to avert of hurricane a hurricane of hunger and that meltdown of the global food system. meanwhile, russia has accused ukraine of a missile strike that kills 20 civilians in the separatist controlled eastern city of done yet. at least 20 others were wounded. ukraine denies launching and attack and ukraine. second largest city is still being heavily bombarded, emergency services in khaki. say, this is a result of an air strike on a 4 story residential building. russian forces have been fighting for 3 weeks to capture the ne, in city a 4th round of talks to resolve the 19 day war have wrapped up for the day, but they're expected to resume on tuesday. john hall is falling developments from the western ukrainian city of live it in the previous rounds. they've been focusing

on humanitarian development corridors, safe avenue of escape, humanitarian aid, and so on. and agreements reached in the past have very rapidly fallen apart. now, 2 things here. first of all, you know, perhaps we can look at developments in mario paul is a sign of progress. simultaneous to these talks going on. some people 160 cars able to leave that city, perhaps a gesture, perhaps not perhaps a pot and party of what is being discussed here. remember, there are hundreds of thousands who need to leave that city. so this is a very small, proportionate number. and similar, tiny is more or less to that happening. the talks have actually concluded. they have pause in the language of the negotiators until tuesday, presumably an opportunity to take back to the respective capitals. whatever it is they may be discussing their brains, very careful and closed at the moment about details. so we simply don't know what is on the table. we don't know what they will come back to the table with on tuesday, but yes, ongoing contacts. they said to be in daily touch,

these 2 side likely, as i said, to be on the level of humanitarian aid and arrangement. that in terms of the big picture, the big picture about ending the war. when the contacts on that level start, particularly between the president landscape, says he wants to meet, let me put in. no sign of letting me put in reciprocating what quite simply, neither side is moving at the moment on their red lines. the ukrainians want a full cease fire and the withdrawal of what russian forces. russia continues to want full demilitarization, essentially the surrender of the state. its future neutrality and the independence of large sways of its territory in the east. poland biggest cities are struggling to come to accommodate the ways of refugees fleeing rushes, invasion invasion lava. the you and refugee agency says at least 2600000 people have left the ukraine, the mass of war. so in cracow say, services are being overwhelmed and they need international help. then bas ravi re for some cracow, a perilous path to poland,

is only the beginning refugees from the war and ukraine. keep going. exhausted. they begin another difficult journey. ah many more trains leaving eastern poland, not knowing where their last stop will be. one woman, overwhelmed, tired, barely able to speak, said she left her whole family back in ukraine. her husband is fighting and the war children are carrying for her elderly mother who is too old to leave, carrying what little she can. she's heading west, hoping to find worth, perhaps a new home for her family. when we met her on the train, she said she had not slept in 4 days on the guys going back to her job in warsaw. after volunteering at the border board,

she was mostly greeting refugee or somebody yesterday i saw one with ground some short grinding. so i said to her and we were talking a little bit. i don't know ukrainian language. it's similar to polish language. so she was booking them both or found me or have her home that she has left now. so the sub book, emotional support is something that they need the most. if the work continues, she says more volunteers will need to go to the board or something as simple as a warm welcome at poland door or can make those forced out of their country. feel more at home. 2 years old tim moore is too young to understand that he's been up rooted by war. his father is fighting rush and force isn't on bus. fleeing the

violence, his mother said, was their own choice with the leading get committed to keep it. what can people do now they can only run with a children. we were hesitating for a long time about what we should do, but i think it was the right decision. every train going west is still with stories of lives torn apart by millions of vulnerable civilians, forced to find a fresh start. once a train pulls into track off station people step off the platform into a kind of controlled chaos. now it is hectic here, but there is held to be had, there's volunteers heading out food available to answer any questions. people might have and helping people registered to find a place to live on the train. some do, by the way, over hearing her story on the far from the border, but still helping offers a ride and a place to stay to a new friend safe passage and safe haven

new beginnings and who a city that has no right now we'll place a refuge nice guy, not the guy in the throbbing, old gruff who hold and russia insists it has enough resources for its military action in ukraine. the criminal says its campaign was carefully planned to avoid civilian casualties. moscow accuses the u. s. and e. u, of trying to provoke it into attacking major population centers. dosa jabari has more from russia's capital, the kremlin spokesperson dmitri past cobb. i during his daily briefing and said that according to the russian defense ministry, they were instructed at the beginning of this so called special military operation in ukraine. not to go in to the large, heavily populated at cities. and that is that the requests of course,

of the russian president vladimir putin. and he said that this kind of rhetoric and these accusations coming from western leaders a, is that you're provocative because they are trying to force russia into a larger cities where they will be certainly as civilian casualties and to blame russia for those casualties. and that is something that, of course, he says, the russian president has asked the defense minister to avoid at all costs. it was also not worthy that he said that for the 1st time we're hearing this of what is the possible plan for these russian forces in ukraine, according to the metro pest cough. he said that the russian military does not rule out the possibility of taking under full control of large populated areas in ukraine to ensure the maximum safety for the civilian population, hinting at possibly, as the russian troops are going to be staying in certain areas of ukraine, once they have captured as certain cities and carried out what they are calling

their special military operation, the a spokesperson for the kremlin also said that they are operation is going according to plan and they will finish it in the amount of time that it's been a lot, he didn't specify how long it is still left of that the us in china have hell. tom syndrome, the white house he is the meeting has critically important for the war in ukraine. and this is after the u. s. accused russia of seeking military aid from beijing, something moscow and china have tonight. i'm rainy has the latest row. we haven't heard any statements, any word coming out of these talks here. there still might be, some members have both delegations meeting, but we saw a large part of delegation leave earlier, but what's really safe for china is access to the 2 largest market. that's united states in the european union, as because as the threats made over the weekend by u. s. national security advisor james sullivan made clear us really wants to camp

down on any attempt by russia to somehow gain support. whether it be military or financial support from china at this time where the war appears to be going so badly for moscow. now, the chinese have said that any of these reports are what they're calling fake news . so they haven't rejected them or said that or denied them out, right? that is they say that that they're not offering the support at this time. they say that they try to painted a fake news as they said that these aren't even being asked of them. but what jake sullivan, the national security advisors make clear, is that the u. s. is not going to accept any work around to the sanction to get financial support from china. and it's our need for russia and the fact that these talks are taking place in europe gives a sense that the european union is perhaps backing this stance from the u. s. as well. china, when, just a few short weeks ago before this war really got underway,

the president, a leader of china champagne. there were no limits to the partnership between russia and china. what these meetings are trying to do is to somehow put limits on that relationship. and you can keep up to date with all the lease developments on the war in ukraine, on our website. click on the ukraine tab for the latest updates on the conflicts. we've got some features and analysis on there as well. that side al jazeera dot com is now bring you some of the days. other news and australia and the netherlands are taking joint legal action against russia for the downing of a malaysian passenger plane in ukraine. 8 years ago, flight m a 17 was shot down in 2014 killing all 290 people on board. including 38 australians international investigators say a russian made miss. i was responsible, which the kremlin denies. australia's foreign ministers, his moscow's invasion of ukraine, is a painful reminder for the families of the victims. we can't take away the grace.
