there as the bottoms continue to fall indiscriminate play? the battles look here continues to with daily shilling that includes residential buildings from russian positions, just 15 kilometers away and closer quarters. fighting on its suburban outskirts western intelligence assessments point to a ground offensive that is largely stalled with russian troops making little or no progress. but if the towns like pin butcher and house the mouth were to fall apart, could open up for a push on the capital and russia maintains its strangle hold on maria pole, the southern port, city, and other important strategic objective. it was a convoy of civilian vehicles, reportedly 2000 of them left by a humanitarian corridor that held for a 2nd day. but still no aid supplies made it in and still hundreds of thousands

the vastness of north south and east, a new crime wishful thinking, perhaps for the dinner with us though of georgia to deliver the units of the people militia for the next republic continued to compress the encirclement. mario paul, the general advance from the east, the northern and western direction was up to 800 meters. the divisions of the russian armed forces are continuing offensive operations. there are reports that russia has already prevailed on allies like china and syria for help. but all the heart in this fight belongs to ukraine, and it refuses to submit. you're not al jazeera movie. in my account is my 1st in key version. they would have these european leaders visiting at the capital. do we know more about that trade? while the ukrainians have been fairly tight lipped about the whole thing, them actually given out any information on the trip itself,

perhaps for obvious reasons, but we do know that they are in the key. that right now, they bringing to lot of it as a lensky, a humanitarian aid package, a significant one. this is actually the highest level meeting, others taken place since the war began and is quite impressive. the, the names that have come through the polish prime minister, the chair prime minister, and the selenium prime minister. this is actually also a sanctioned by the european council. so it's a big show of support for of lot of as lensky and the people of ukraine. but it won't just be aid that the we talking about the claim be talking about politics. vladimir zalinski is always had just one message to the international community, wants nato, to put in a no fly zone. he said it publicly, he said it privately to people, and he's been effectively shouting it via his microphone into it, into her but t v studio. so it's likely that he'll reiterate that message to them,

that that shelling will continue. or in fact, a lot of people wonder if this high level visit won't cause a response from the russians or, and they may, will be more bombardment. so lots of very nervous are residents of the city. and people aren't exactly sure why this curfew has been put in place. and i can thank you very much. did the car door out of the besieged city of maribel leads to a per each year in easton, ukraine as a vague as that when they get here they are closed, they are toys given food. and here you can see donations from people from ordering ukrainians, making a massive effort to try to welcome these people that have escaped from medical just medical that they have escaped from the surrounding areas that is fighting taking place. and the people that we've spoken to many are shocked and traumatized. many

trip to europe. yeah, this is a late add to the president's schedule and it's one that the white house press secretary jones hockey says is not by accident. the u. s. president believes that it's important to meet with and coordinate with european leaders. he will not only be going to brussels belgium, where he will be going to nato headquarters to speak with the various leaders of those nations. but he'll also be going to the european council to meet in order to what the white house press secretary says is a meeting about deterrence and defense efforts, and also the challenges related to the ongoing russian invasion of ukraine. in other words, the white house press secretary says that it is the belief of the u. s. president. that he is a big believer. she says in face to face diplomacy. and she says that, that he believes that the united states and his allies are at the point that they

are at right now in terms of their coordination. because of this face to face diplomacy that things have been going well in terms of the coordination. and she says it is by no accident. and so in order to continue that coordination, she says that is the president's desire to meet face to face. and so that's what he will be doing. departing from the united states for those meetings on march 24th. and on the spending bill. what would it mean impact in practice for, for ukraine, how quickly will lose from that anal money get to them? yes, that is a good question. and the president seemed reluctant to answer those details and sort of the white house press secretary where reporters were pressing for more. 2 information, in fact, what they said is that the president would be outlining those details on wednesday . it was a big cryptic, a. all we know is that there are really going to be kind of 2 baskets that this money is going to be allocated in. one will be security as the other will be more

humanitarian in terms of security. the president was very clear. he said that this would be so that the people of ukraine would have the tools they need to defend themselves. and then with respect to the humanitarian assistance, it would be for very practical things such as soap and drinking water and blankets . and. and so that the refugee sort of crisis centers that many of the people fleeing and heading to whether be an ukraine or a neighboring countries, that they can be wrapped up in terms of their ability to respond to this crisis. but in terms of the real details, how much money is going to each sort of allocation. there really were some big question mark. so we're now looking ahead to wednesday when the u. s. president has promised that he will be giving more specific detail. kimberly, how can thank you very much. indeed. ukraine's president received a standing ovation earlier as he addressed canada's parliament in
