a battle for democracy. the free world must fight. kimberly, how can al jazeera warsaw cremeans spokesperson has said that only the washing people can decide on their president. early other countries defense ministry said the brochure had weakened ukraine's armed forces nationwide. officers hoshal, alabama reports now from moscow. as the compass continues, relations b, a between the us and russia continue to be strained. their recent remarks made by a u. s. president joe biden very critical of president ladyman, putting a created a black backlash here, her russian nurse spokesperson of the kremlin. dmitri pasco of said that those remarks i won't be conducive to narrow differences between the 2 countries and the it won't help to mend the fences. of russia has over the last few days and summoned the u. s. ambassador to moscow and exposed the same concern about similar

remarks made my air president job. i did a from a russian perspective, those remarks along with the air was military support provided for the ukrainians and the sanctions imposed on the financial institutions works of art in russia. r y d interpreted here as an attempt to silence and further isolate a russia this explains why most of the officials are talking to the media are saying that this is something which will only ultimately help consolidate our identity and bring the russians united. and they say that there is a western narrative which is misleading, according to russia, which does not a characterize the conflict the way it is supposed to be. william courtney as a former white house senior director for russia, ukraine, angie, ration affairs. he thinks there are several factors that play in president biden's

remarks. the strategic failure, the military for the truly devastating economic sanctions south to west is imposing, which day by day week by week are going to have power for facts from russia and the prior status. that russia has earned in europe or a place of special interest to most russian. those factors together increase the likelihood that there could be regime change in moscow or that's uncertain. one can never predict that, but it will car or when or how it work her. but certainly in the last 30 years of russia's modern and oppressed, the situation and the criminal has slipped less overload, less label vanador snell in his nightly address. ukraine's president once again pleaded with western powers for military support. i see steve, he's got to move, the russian army received orders to destroy everything that defines our people and nation agriculture. and 80 years ago the nazis did exactly the same when they tried

because, or this is ukraine or we're still graham. and what this war has done as united ukrainians across the country. and here in odessa many restaurants, you see this happening basically preparing food for the soldiers, for the volunteers, for the front lines, for the refugees. it is very much a shock still when you spoke to people saying that they never believed that this would have happened, but now was the time to come together and did you everything ah, to fight the russians? certainly here in odessa, they've been preparing for a russian assault on the city, the country's biggest c port, but everyone here will tell you that they will not be able to take it. who the rebels in yemen have unilaterally declared a 3 day seuss fight, and their conflict with the saudi led coalition. a group says it's part of a push for a lost and commitment to peace in this of near or i'll to serious alex go topless report in the aftermath of yet another air attack firefighters attempt to does a place in yemen. capital santa. this after

this would be great for the saudis, they have long said they would like to get out of this war. and this could be an opportunity for them to finally stop boring, so many hundreds of billions of dollars into trying to destroy yemen. we've seen a big uptake in the saudi led air strikes. i believe there are about $400.00 in the month, january and $700.00 in the month of february. but we're seeing this response from the who's the is. i mean, in general it's, it's a bit frustrating because the, who the attacks tend to generate a lot more news coverage. whereas the saudi air strikes are just sort of part of daily life where the many but clearly know who these are trying to show the saudis, that they're, if they're going to continue this. this is sort of level of destruction that they are going to pay a price. although again, with us help, especially with the recent edition of, of new patriot antimissile systems, the saudis are generally able to deflect about 90 percent of the transporter attacks. so to come here on al jazeera palestinians,
