11:02 am
in an orderly fashion. so in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and at the same time, be very careful that we minimize the impact on the global market. with all these steps, we are depriving the russian economy from its ability to diversify and to modernize 14 wanted to wipe out ukraine from the map. and he will clearly not succeed. don't again, joins us now live from berlin and dominic banning rushes. oil is the big headline here of course, but do tell us about the whole sanctions package that has been proposed by von the lamb as far as we know so far, there are several stages to this and it's not just oil, as he was saying, laura, so 1st things, 1st, some financial institutions are going to find themselves effectively booted out of
11:03 am
the swift transaction system. perhaps the most notable example of that is spelled back in particularly large financial institutions is going to find itself, as i say, kicked out of swift pretty swiftly as it were. and then in so far as these oil embargo is concerned, well, we know it's 2 different phases. the 1st regards crude oil, which are still on the line president, the commission says, should be embargoed within 6 months, then there is refined oil, which clearly is a different type which is of more use to different industries and to, to car drivers and people in the automotive industry as well that will be phase that within 8 months, in other words, by the end of the year. but the devil here really is in the details because as strong as the wording president, funder line came up with there is so it must be said is the level of opposition from certain leaders in europe, notably victor or been leader of hungary who is said that he has great difficulties
11:04 am
or his representatives have said that their country have very grave difficulties. indeed with what has been proposed, the reality being that they really don't like them and they may well try to stop them. therefore, there are those who say it may be that what emerges from the you will allow the hungarians to opt out as it were of this elements of embargo. that element isn't entirely clear. and of course, whatever president funder lion proposes must be accepted by all member states. so as i say, devil in the details or that's a slightly easier proposal to get through the e u as a recovery plan for ukraine. here we're very much looking ahead to after the war only very much. so there is on one side trying to bolster trying to buttress the ukrainian economy,
11:05 am
the ukrainian defense systems that are being used, deployed against russia right now. but there is in people's minds what do we do thereafter? what sort of financial packages can be put in place to help the ukrainians in one sense metaphorically get back on their feet in an economic sense? not so much detail their lot solve lofty aspirations coming from president funder lion, but not a great deal of detail. now the one thing we know, the ukrainian government would really like is a very quick authorization accession of their country into the you. now, president fonder, lying on her own, can't do that. the question will be what the other, what the other supports will be from other member states to allow the ukrainians into the you knowing that. busy there are some countries who are, if not necessarily implacably opposed to it, who aren't exactly really jumping at the bit to get the ukrainians into the you. so
11:06 am
as i say, not a great deal of detail about what that recovery plan might entail. and so lofty aspiration right now. ok, thanks very much for the updates. at dominic came genius that from berlin, ukrainian officials and the un say they hope they can keep bringing more civilians out of a bombed out. still plant in the shattered port, city of mario pole. some civilians in scores of ukrainian fighters, a cell hold up in the vicinity that surrounded by russian forces. those evacuated so far have been taken to relative safety and aperture. from where hot abdul hamid reports. busy peal and exhausted, they stumbled out of buses. perhaps unaware that their plight has caught the world's attention. they evacuation closely coordinated at the highest levels in both ukraine and russia and still took several days for them. a person to whom he
