capital. russian forces had bombarded city attorney, heave and suburbs of keys despite, as i said, promises to scale down operations. when i get more now from him on con, who is in the capitol? i sit around, you've been hearing more explosions around key is walking. tell us well exactly an hour ago there was an explosion in the center of keith. that's as close as the russians have got with any kind of a, the artillery or rocket or miss out. since the war began. we are hearing that it was against a military target possibly, and intelligence building. and then there were multiple air raid sirens. they've been going on for the last hour as well. so this is certainly a strike this come to the heart of keith. it's not very far away from where i stand right now, only a few kilometers as it were. so that will have a lot of people concerned. now,

there was supposed to be this withdrawal that the russian troops announced on a. busy on tuesday night, that hasn't happened in need yet in stone berg, the head of nato has been speaking. he actually said that the russians are really restoring what they're doing is repositioning and regrouping for re supply and keeping up their present immense pressure. those are the words use only capital key and certainly that's what we've been experiencing in the last 24 to 36 hours. we've seen more attacks take place in, but over in the south in the north they, the russian soldiers may well be retreating. but we're also hearing that as they're retreating. they are looting buildings in apartment buildings or so. so they may well be leaving the area, but not showing a still keeping the pressure up on the city and am on one city which has also seen a lot of been under a lot of pressure. been besieged, really merrier poll humanitarian corridors. our men to open did those eventually

well, we're hearing that the humanitarian cardozo actually opened the i, c r. c is issued a very strong statement. also saying that this needs to happen. i mean, privately, we're being told that the humanitarian corridors are a problem for both the ukrainians and the russians. ukrainians, wanting to force them to be open, not just to get people out, but to get aid in to those cities as well. however, they saying that the russians keep reneging on any deal that the corridors are open for a few hours, and then the russians start selling as well. what we do know is there are a number of buses going towards mariposa right now. they'll get to the edge of the city, that's where people will meet them and they'll. busy back and they'll get out how close they are to that actually happening. it's or i to talk about humanitarian corridors, which the corridor has to be able to work. you've got to get through it. and that doesn't seem to be happening right now. although we are hearing that those buses are headed towards it to make sure that it does happen. i am on con efferson,

ukrainian capital, key of thank you for as you mentioned, there is some hope that civilians could be evacuated from mary paul, but it's met reports now from the russian controlled area in the north of the city . there's not much left to fight for in maria pull but the sound of shelling is constant. no one flinches. after 4 weeks of this, they used to it. this part of this port city is now russian control, and some people are relieved about that. florida might be confused with the russians, they would say starting to why would you be unhappy that the red light dunbar monkey that all stairs the they didn't? dumbass is russian speaking. ukraine was a pressing us with their language. we launched at 1st no problem, but then there was too much pressure. and then in 2013 as of brigade came and it

was chaos. the russians say this city has been destroyed because they as solves a group with neo nazi sympathies, won't surrender. the battalion is integrated into ukraine's national guard with has some autonomy. the presence here was one of vladimir putin is justifications for launching what he calls a special military operation. ukraine says russia, which is looking for an excuse to invade variable city council says there are around a $170000.00 people still in the city. most have been without power or running water or much food for a month. hey, you get an indication of a scale of the need. there is here for humanitarian a. this place has been on the russian control. now, for about a week, this part of marable. and since then, this has been turned into an, a distribution center with food and freshly cooked meals and some medical

assistance. but all of these people from here, they go back to what's left of their homes. these people are caught in the middle of one of the most strategically important battles in ukraine. maria post capture would help russia create a corridor to join crimea with jeanette can le ganske and narrow ukraine's access to the black sea. that's why neither side is giving up for full bushes, them so much cruelty and the bomb bank shall flying. why was there a need to destroy home? it's a military crime. no one should do it either. both sides are guilty to bump at night to shoot kill message boards, a used to spread news about who is safe, who is missing, who was died? mobile phone coverage is erratic, even if there is power. with russian control comes russian administration. the said is everywhere. the hash tag read, we don't abandon our own. what began as an identification on military vehicles and

don boss has evolved into russia's logo for this war. what did you leave my neighbors old? she can come and share the food with her. i shared with every one who lives on my street. there's so many people who are old, which is con, con. her son is here to help with if russia takes full control, mary, i'll pull it will be the 1st major ukrainian city to fall. a morale boost to one side, a psychological blow to the other. too much is at stake. for there to be any let up in the shelley bernard smith, how to 0 mario paul, to moscow now and rushes president vladimir putin is threatening to end gas contracts. if countries do not stop paying and roubles you, i find an order that establishes the rule of trade with natural gas with the so

called hostile states. we are offering the clear system that they have to open accounts and roubles, and payments have to be made through these accounts from the 1st of april. if they don't, we will consider it a non fulfillment of contract because nobody sells us anything for free. and we will not do charity so their existing contracts will be suspended when they use them as often. so hash marta is in the russian capital for us hash and the things are quite a big move from the russian president it is indeed it is a retaliation. again, while the russians have been describing as an economic war and launched against them by the west, they say that the sanctions that were imposed on russia the freezers of the assets and the bands of the russian natural gas, or ex force were men to further undermine russia and put more pressure on the russian government. now the r a retaliate, and so in a tit for tat,

the russians started a week ago where president redeemer put in order the central bank to work out new mechanisms will all the supplies of the russian natural gas to unfriendly countries . so when he says unfriendly countries, he's talking about the u. s. e u, u k. and other countries will have to be now paid in the local currency in the rural. and they say this is a legitimate way for the russians because they are facing those a wide range of sanctions. not for those countries. the unfriendly country is that they have to open up a bank accounts in russian bands starting from tomorrow. this is where the new rules rules come into place to be able to see those supplies continuing. otherwise, the contrast will be stopped and is quite interesting to see that the russian president of the demon, putting his adamant about the need to move forward with that retaliatory

retaliatory measure. because he understands that europe, in particular are relies on a 40 percent of its new energy needs. come from russia just about a week ago when medina putting order the bank to the central bank to work out those measures. we saw the energy prices, spikes, or something like 30 percent in europe, and this explains why in his beach, he was talking about warning against potential repercussions of is, this is a decision on the international market. and also because of essentially, he says, we are likely to see for crisis, we are likely to see a migration crisis following in europe. we are likely to see an employment spiking in europe and the economic drive in europe will definitely face a major setback because it's coming back against the backdrop of and need to recover from the crunch its suffer during or during covey day. 19 pandemic. so quite obvious that the of the russian are moving forward to use energy as an asset

in, in this confrontation with the west. in particular. they say, you know what it is for that you are making us pay a price for the military campaign in your great, therefore you will have also to bear the brunt of what happens next. i think the russians are trying also to put more pressure on the, on the west, particularly on the a, you with this sir, in your route, about a, about paying in robot. there could be another motive by the russians, which is basically if you remember, came at the beginning of the crisis. we so the rural, the local currency plunge dramatically a following the following. the sanctions that would impose on russia and by this move now bloody but putting is building trust on the air on the local currency is pushing more countries now to pay in the local currency. and this is likely to further just pop up the ruble, which has gained significantly in value compared to the dollar over the last few

days. i shall have either in moscow. thank you. opec and its allies have ignored demands to significantly increase oil output to help offset high fuel prices. the u . s. is reported. they considering the release of to 180000000 barrels of oil from strategic reserves. i would be its largest ever released since its creation in 1970 fall. oil prices have says to record high since rush is invasion of ukraine. or michelle creek is a foreign policy and energy. dear politics, advisor, and golf state analytics. the saudi arabia on the u. e. currently face security concerns over their production opec plus and mainly you a russia. and so the 2nd flight from the quarter or the price and by the administration seems to last september, each to be a robbie and mainly to boost the pump more oil in the market. but it was way from the equivalent of production level and prices are not interested to boost to oppose

or in the market. and i think trying to keep correct according for about a limit or gradual increase by coming bonds mainly by and it may as well is whether or not mr. bar to reach are giving bit blocks mainly from the way. and so the has to focus according to energy grant security comes in and faced by to the already and you a, during the last month, energy infrastructure of both countries targeted by the 30 ethic and this company is interested from as why didn't to support them to condemn attacks and to supply on the side system for them, and also to put more pressure from iran to stop supporting wholesale. it's a place that mr. actually wants to more home to or is it in the market has to noticed in possible nuclear due to gold country. it's an international security
