affairs official about further measures when the leaders meet here soon. do you expect there to be further? sanctions adopted this week and could they be extended to the energy sector formula? adoption of sanctions require procedure. and i don't think during these week you will be a former adoption of sanctions according with our procedures. the reason is this, the european union is now divided on even tougher measures. some countries, notably, germany oppose a complete ban on russian oil and gas experts. estimate the before the war, russian gas was costing western countries a $1000000000.00 a day. germany has been very foolish over the years. i mean, along with some of a member states, not only didn't, they reduce that dependency on russian oil and gas. they actually built this huge stream to pipeline. and despite the fact that most of the of member states that

don't do it because russia will weaponized it, which is exactly what russia has done is look, you put your genius even if sanctions are tightened. some believe who to may not back down because he's not accomplished any of his was aims. so it's essentially an russian thinking the ukraine doesn't lead to the wes. and the thing that's put in it will prevents that at any price, as long as it's as long as it takes any costs. that is what we see happening right now. and if that means a long lasting war, and i think we are in it for a long time, i think russia will be prepared to take up costs when your opinion and nato leaders gather here in brussels. you can expect another show of unity, more strong words against vladimir putin, but when it comes to concrete action, they probably gone as far as they can go. james base al jazeera brussels. now the secretary general says ukrainians are enduring a living. hell. antonia good harish has urged russia and what he calls the absurd

he says, rising costs will any worse than the ukraine conflict continues. we are doing these crises on top of a situation that was really dire, meaning that in the last year, prices of commodity like the table or you have already double. if you think the current increase in what does happen in the last human factory, the price of we have increased by 80 percent and more market. so this is an additional drop that can bring a number of people in anger. but also, as you just have earned, they've already from institution in the world like in your men where this current disruption, meaning the grains that should have been shipped away from ukraine. busy russia for the black seat last month, the small, i'm not going to where they should go. we had a couple of country that's actually a good. we have a like out in india that have started to increase the exports and what we just hope that the continue to export by the way that we don't start to with what we got to

export restriction to protect their own market. but that will not replace integrally ukraine and reset, especially the next of if that will take place during the summer is disrupted, or even worst if the next planting season could take place. so that's all the way that we have in the coming off. countries can start to plan more, but it mean that it will take between 6 and 18 months to see the suite coming on the market. and as you say, the 15 either is put on for the, the biggest crises on the reason we've pricey that i was more than double. some country cannot have access to the franchise of the need and the franchise market, he disrupted, that's an impact on every farmers in the world and therefore every consumer in the world. now, let's take a look at some of the days. other news and a court in russia has extend the prison sentence of opposition leader alexia valley, and he was found guilty of fraud and contempt of court and sentence to 9 more years behind bars. but at smith house, the latest from moscow,

the last outspoken political opponent of russia's president appeared in a prison court room in a black prison uniform looking gone. the judge found alexa in the valley guilty of fraud and contempt of court. the sentence 9 years jail in a maximum security prison. when the valley spoke, the video feed from the court room to journalists was cut. so his supporters posted his comments online. you can't put every one in prison. even if you ask for a 113 years, you won't scare me your others like me. every person must act in their own way as they can, considering the circumstances, but act as the valleys lawyers spoke outside the prison police with loud hale as tried to drown them out. you see a synopsis. of course, we will appeal the verdict that we were not able to use a recording device. i have digital copies of the case papers. so this was incorrect

procedure on top of the fact that it was taking place in the prison, which is very rare. it's just over a year since alexis of only returned to russia from germany, he'd been given medical treatment after a poison attack with a nerve agent during a visit to siberia. within minutes of his plane landing the valley was arrested while he's not been out of jail, since no only was russia's main opposition lead. he tried to run for president in the election in 2018, but was barred from stand. he's anti corruption foundation was declared an extremist organisation and shut down than in february. last year. the valley was jailed for 2 and a half years for parole violations charges. he says we're trumped up to silence him . why not? as of right now, bruton would like to keep alexi in prison for as long as he is in our we are completely sure this is huge. thereat order to imprison alexi.
