2:04 am
which would be in essence bringing it to the ground because of fears of what could happen to people on the ground. and the, and they said they don't believe this poses any sort of threat to commercial or personal air travel because it is so high up in the atmosphere. but again, when a caution, this is the pentagon saying that this balloon is there. they have it provided proof, they're saying it's the chinese, they have not presented proof of that, but their officials do said they fit in contact with chinese officials in washington and beijing. okay, party for now. thank you. ah, ukrainian president thought him as lensky is urging the european union to impose more sanctions on moscow. head of a summit in keys on friday was soon after arriving in the ukrainian capital. you are in that commission, prison. ursula, on the line said a sanctions package including price caps on russian oil will be ready for the 1st
2:05 am
anniversary of russia's invasion, as despite divisions between members state. so for what the cap should be. zalinski says the block is moving too slowly to speedily, you've replaced cuz sometimes when she does that is the common to ask for the european union is to reduce rushes ability to bypass sanctions. the sooner this is achieved, the closer we will get to the defeat of russia's aggression. we have noticed that the pace of sanctions has slowed down a bit while the terrace state has speeded, adapting to sanctions. it is worth to catch up and fix it east. we believe we can do it, died fsa. today, russia is paying a heavy price as our sanctions are you eroding its economy, throwing it back by a generation. the price cap on crude oil already costs russia around $160000000.00 euros a day. and we will keep on turning up the pressure farther. we will introduce with
2:06 am
our g 7 partners, an additional price come on russian petroleum products. and by the 24th of february, exactly one year since the invasion started, we aim to have the 10th package of sanctions in place where russian president vladimir putin is worn, that moscow will respond to the west with more than just tanks. his marking 80 years since the world war 2 butler stalingrad putin condemned germany's decision to supply keith. with leopard to battle tanks, he said russia would be victorious in ukraine. where you get took dagger with you or i be excused from those who are dragging european countries, including germany into a new war with russia and irresponsibly talking about it as a done deal. those who expect to win against russia on the battlefield. they apparently don't understand their modern war with russia will be completely different. we are not sending our tanks to their borders udemy,
2:07 am
but we have what it takes to respond. they were in it and using military hardware will not be the end of it yet. everyone has to understand this or funding ukraine's reconstruction is one of the main topics of discussion. as european union leaders gather and key for talks. but even as the war continues, the rebuilding has already begun in butcher now cave natasha boss. limit people who are trying to rebuild their homes and their lives in boucher on the outskirts of keys valentina watches as builders repair her home. it was damaged by shelling when russian forces occupied the town last year and experience, she says, was worse than living through world war 2. the common that they said that the followers weekly everything was destroyed, the tv, so for clothes, i couldn't stay. so i went to my neighbor's basement, we spent weeks there, there were explosions nice and day russians and ukrainians firing. i don't know how i survived. the house now has new windows,
2:08 am
and soon the roof will be finished. valentina sweeps up shavings from the timber to fuel her burner. butcher's town council, his financing reconstruction in this neighbourhood, one of many districts pounded by russian artillery. nearly every house in the streets has been damaged and is the similar picture in so many parts of ukraine. it is clear, the rebuilding the country is going to say yes and cost a lot of money as the war continues in ukraine. so does the destruction mangled infrastructure and bombarded buildings are now part of the landscape. some people are forced to survive in what's left of their homes. keep estimates that reconstruction will cost at least $350000000000.00. the e u has an idea about how it could be funded. ukraine will rebuilt, and then i just must be jump inserted. we are fully frozen over 300000000000

2:10 am
do not understand that. of course, it is possible that russia will attack, can nieto country and then there would be a 3rd war war. and i'm really against all this because we live in fear. and it's so cold published this week, show support for sending heavy weapons like lap to tanks is down to 48 percent compared to $55.00, a few months ago. 3 quarters of those poles take. they don't want germany to be militarily involved fast. the 5th and became deeply rooted in germany after world war 2 in the mid 1900. forty's, the generations who grew up since then are familiar with the slogan, no more war for them, sending heavy weapons to an active force own it's seen as a huge break with the fast and the wrong strategy. that is why the countries foreign minister calls quite a shock last week. we are fighting a war against russia and not again. also argued that statement is fatal
