ukraine and russia will push global food prices even higher. and the stage is set for a run off french presidential candidates, minute con, man, read the pen, hit the campaign trail to show up support before the final round of voting on april the 24th. there is the prospect of more firepower for ukraine in its war against russia. european union, foreign ministers have been meeting in luxembourg. i've been discussing a proposal to emma, another $544000000.00 for the delivery of weapons to ukraine. the blocks top diplomat, joseph brown, says, is also being talked of additional sanctions against russia. after more than 6 weeks of war and sanctions we continue discussing about how to implement the sanctions to avoid any kind of loop holes. we measure the impact that the sensors as having on your russian economy and we will continue discussing in order

to see what else can be done. nothing of the table including sanctions, denial, and gas. cumberland has dominate, came lots of reference from mister burrell to the situation on the ground in ukraine. specifically, in his opinion, to drawing attention to the situation in don bass in that area which the russian government forces in the opinion of mister beryl on our preparing. and he says that people are looking out to see what form of military intervention will take place. there now that says view, the important thing in one sense is not so much what mr. burrell had to say about sanctions as what was not said. so we heard that nothing is off the table, but he didn't mention what has been mentioned by a few of the people who are also that may sing foreign ministers from other countries who have said that they are looking into drafting new sanctions in so far

is oil is concerned now the point with that is that in one sense, oil represents a greater source of revenue for the russian governments in e u. terms in terms of what's raj, the e, then it doesn't gas does. so that was an interesting development there, but let's be clear that talking about things. there is the suggestion about measures being drafted, but there isn't as yet a degree of unity of purpose about agreeing fresh sanctions. and we know that mr. barrell is saying that the issue of war crimes is something that the e u wants to help the ukrainian government with as far as possible. russia's foreign minister says statements by the ease tom diplomat on supplying ukraine with weapons or change the rules of the game. so gay love says, just a browse remarks, confirm that the e u is building a kind of collective military structure. manipulation,

susan littles were also visual. this is a very serious turning point, even in the policy that the e u and the west on the whole, undeniably under the united states leadership has been pursuing since the start of our special military operation. this policy reflect and betterment and even fury in some respects. and of course, it's been determined certainly not only by ukraine, but also by the fact that ukraine has been transformed into a foothold for completely suppressing russia and submitting russia to the global system. being built by the west, which has always kept moving closer to our borders. contrary to all promises it gave, despite the end of the cold war and despite the warsaw pact and the soviet union's disappearance. thus jibari has the latest from moscow. one second love rob is not really happy about the comments that were made by the foreign policy chief after he visited the ukrainian capital on friday,

joseph burrell said that the outcome of this war will be decided on the battlefield . and that is a statement that is unacceptable to the russian officials survey lover of saying that you is not a military cooperation or entity. and that at this statement from joseph for all just could have been something he said, his personal views or that he misspoke. he finds it very hard to believe that this is the collective view of the european union. but of course, these comments and the announcements that have come from the european union. the latest being that $544000000.00 financial aid to hear reiterates really russia concerns at the foreign minister had said that russia security concerns were ignored for a very long time. and that nato's expansion further eastward was one of the main concerns of this country. something that the european leaders we're not discussing

prior to the so called special military operation in ukraine. and now these announcements, each one of them that are be made and the a military and financial assistance that's going to ukraine really are highlighting russians position. and they use this in the narrative that is being told on state tv over and over again. your grange president says this week could be one of the most crucial. yes. as russia refocuses, it's offensive in the east bod followed him as landscape told south korea's parliament by video link and forces already banned. he believes russia's songs is a deeply demoralized douglas. he lives years more than 3000 rockets have been fired by russia on ukrainian cities. but the worst thing is how russia's using people to wage this war. the people of the russian federation have to live in abject poverty. they can't afford the basics of decent food and education. they've no guarantee of human rights throughout the whole life. the only chance of

improvement could happen by chance alone. but coming into the war, 10000 russian troops were shocked by the normality of ukrainian life by ukrainian cities where the peaceful population lived. there were shocked we had decent food. a huge number of the russian occupies, had never seen this in their own life. while they by reports from live on the latest in the fighting, there has been a pick up in the amount of shelling that's going on in the east. the president zalinski warning ukraine that the next 4 or 5 days are going to be crucial. he says, with this expected renewed assault by russian forces reports of the russians moving tens of thousands of troops in readiness for this new assault. a lot of the attention seems to be on the very strategically significant city of sloppy ants. and now this is. 3 this isn't close to the break away, self styled republic of don, yet it is controlled by ukrainian forces still. but there is

a lot of speculation that if the russians can takes love yann's, then potentially they could then move and cut off or encircle quite a sizable portion of the ukrainian forces in the east. and these, these are some of the better trained ukrainian units. so at brazil, etzky warning that this battle could be a very crucial for the whole of ukraine for ukraine's or future. and there's some speculation though about just how much the russians are prepared to engage their ground forces. we have seen what happens when they get into close quarters battle with a very stiff resistance from ukrainian forces in all of the towns and cities. north of keith and aid has not gone well for the russians. they have sustained heavy losses. so there is a, quite a bit of speculation are from military observers that they are, will rely in the forthcoming battle if and when it starts, far more on that, that air superiority and also at their superiority when it comes to the artillery

and the rockets that they have a really to use those rather than a to may be possibly using ground forces. that would probably a for a russian army that has lost so many troops already be more palatable. chavez serif has been sworn in his pockets, towns, new prime minister. he succeeds him on con, after being elected by the national assembly sharif will form a new government until august, next year, excuse me. when general elections at u. m. r. com was asked and in no competent vote on saturday, or the 100 m. p.
