11:04 am
organize these protests yesterday and also earlier this week earlier this year across the country as i said which is unusual for russia but that may soon change as early as next week there is a trial taking place about the anti corruption fund they could be declared an extremist organization which could essentially end their activity here in russia and could mean that they won't be able to organize protests like the ones we saw yesterday. correspondent emily should win there thank you emily ukraine is seeking international support against russia's military buildup along as borders an interview with the reuters news agency ukraine's foreign minister says it's important the west acts now to prevent russia from launching military action pro russian rebels 4th the ukrainian army to a standstill several years ago in the country's east to the views nikolay reports

from the ukrainian city of mariupol where people are preparing for war. only a few of the older children here can really remember a time without since conflict began 7 years ago these children have seen parents lose their livelihoods and often their lives now they found stability in this christian children's home in a city of half a 1000000 people just a matter of kilometers from the frontlines. dropping everything and getting to safety in a hurry this drill is all about russia's troop buildup along ukraine's borders means these kinds of exercises are once again part of daily life here for some of the teenagers though there is little need to practice. back in 2014 i spent 2 months living in our sailor with my mom i never thought the war would reach us i remember watching t.v. it all just seemed so unreal like something from a film then our neighbor's house was hit we ran date into the sailor for cover and

we were just listening to it all. it was really scary i'm scared the house of collapse around us and we'd be trapped in there. back in 2014 front line suburbs of residential neighborhoods and dozens of casualties nowadays the front line is still just as close to the city and its residents just as vulnerable ukraine's army has made significant strides since 2014 but at sea where russian forces are also now massing ukraine is still at a significant disadvantage. the crew of this ukrainian coast guard vessel a tight lipped willing to tell us that they've seen increased russian activity in recent weeks they're ready and willing they say to respond to any possible provocation whether or not they expect all that they refused to say. is a ship. the security service is just now as genuine ukrainian.

ukraine's. hopelessly out numbered in these words as we. access to this see. how the brain can send in reinforcements. the military and diplomatic posturing every day life goes on can often seem oblivious to the attention being paid to this region by the outside world. i have no idea if there will be a war but it definitely doesn't depend on. raising tensions now but i still think this is all about political bargaining. everyone here in marion paul has a sick pact with money. in case they need to leave and everyone. being afraid that something people here in eastern ukraine tell you time and time again desperate for a chance to live a little even if that would stop them preparing for the worst as they like the rest of the world try to understand what it is like to me putin and his troops have in
