russian president vladimir putin has had back in his 1st remarks on the crisis in a month. he accuses the west of ignoring moscow's concerns about security in the region. who are you with the flags of his allies on proud display, ukraine's president announced a huge addition to his nation's army corps, west william on. we will create a new political co operation format in europe between ukraine, great britain and poland, voice that was within the next 3 years, we will increase the number of ukrainian armed forces to 100000 professional soldiers. regina army, british prime minister boris johnson, flew to give to meet with zelinski in a press conference afterwards. johnson appealed for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. russia. invasion of you, crime would be a political disaster. humanitarian disaster, in my view would also be for russia for the world,

a military disaster as well. and i of the potential invasion completely, the flies in the face of president putin's claims to be acting in the interests of the ukrainian people earlier. poland prime minister mateusz more of yet ski also pledged his support zalinski and compared sharing a border with russia to living near a volcano. 4 months lacrisha, we could help ukraine with supplies of defensive weapons in the event of possible russian aggression piano, which hopefully will not happen and us them through or like what's on sale. know, under the soonest on it, us ukraine's president has welcomed the international backing diploma beach that didn't go support for ukraine as at its greatest since 2014 he, it's unconditional and ongoing. pretty right. it's the same with military aid, the whole it's priceless and it continues to come. we sina e, well, those are not,

would. russia continues to build up its forces in the region, even as diplomats from both sides are still trying to solve the crisis. russian troops are set to hold military drills and bela roost this month, based from camps like this one, just a few miles from the polish border. we can now take you to d. w correspondence. nick conley, who is in the ukranian capital k. f. nika. we just heard there from the british prime minister pledging his support a to ukraine. but what has his visit achieved concretely? i think this is a diplomatic show force as you saw in the report, not only british prime minister, also polish leaders tomorrow. the dutch prime minister in town here and key if this is not business as usual, this is exceptional, and this is really assigned to russia primarily that this is not a peripheral issue for the westphal western european countries who have be having

issues on coordinating exactly what they would do in the event a russian intervention hearing ukraine assigned that this is central to their policy making and also science ukrainians. that even though ukraine hasn't been offered membership of nato and the years present, vincent has ruled out us boots on the ground in ukraine. that they are in so that with ukraine and willing to provide ukraine with extensive support that would help it to withstand intervention if moscow decides to cross the border. and to that extent ukrainian present, zalinski also announced a today an increase in ukrainian troop numbers. how is this being perceived in ukraine? what's obviously gone down well with the armed forces and lots of observers over there are question marks over how realistic that is. that is also almost a 3rd or bigger. it will be in 3 years time. if those plans happen, then the economy is present. question marks in finance and about lots of other

things that you can military has been unable to improve since russia began. it's where aggression against you came back in 2014. it's navy. it's air force in a pretty difficult state, not really in any states to with this russia. so lots of work to be done there. but more broadly, you get a sense that audrey ukrainians, who for a long time, we're not really engaging the story, those we disconnect where the world was talking about. this issue headlines course were dominated by ukraine. and it's stand up with russia, a blankie of seemingly oblivious to it. now as these visits happen, as this continues union says, people are making plans are asking themselves if something is about to happen. think but a plan b where they can get away in case of some kind of attack on ukrainian cities were to happen to really since now this is sick, sickening down 2 or 3 people who had basically been trying to live lives as ordinary as possible for the last few weeks, nick, we, we've heard from a russian president, vladimir putin who repeated his monitor that the west is ignoring moscow's security

concerns. interestingly, he also accused us of using ukraine to contain russia. give us a sense about how people feel in ukraine. do they feel like they're being used as a geopolitical pon? i think most ukrainians you speak to will say that is inevitable. ukraine is between on russia's borders on the borders of nato. it was always going to be that way. i think that is a given and nothing new for ukraine is they think they are clear that some can neutral status like finland may be. some have been between the blocks. it is not realistic, given ukraine size and its population. but i think the important thing for most, your great leaders and most even ordinary citizens here is that discussions about ukraine's phase status, about ukraine's future shouldn't be carried out without ukraine. the table we saw russia, sideline ukraine, ignoring diplomatic overtures here from cave, wanting to talk only with the americans, not even with the europeans in the

e. u. a now and tempt by the administration, washington, by of the native and to try and broaden this out. bring ukraine back to that table, but it is running and we will position. and as long as ukraine is outside the you outside nato. not in any closer with russia. this question that will remain unanswered and potentially difficult as the both sides try to engage with ukraine in the formats that they wanted. ukraine is a of an issue between the western russia that is not going away any time soon. des, nick, a colleague, reporting from t f u crane. thank you very much for providing us with context with the winter olympics due to open later in the week, the united states and other nations are staging a diplomatic boycott of the event and protests at china as human rights record. growing numbers of covet 19 cases, also worrying athletes and officials, beijing and says the games will be safe arrival at the airport in beijing.

rights abuses. this is pam 1st is, is that k to return esparza arina in to west pace? o clinical is m a. c aga tall, 2 white was all those are sizes, but china itself boasts of its strength and promises a safe winter olympics in beijing or the plate of china as we go community and their harsh repression looms large over the winter olympics, with opposition suppressed within china itself many are making their voices heard elsewhere. our washington bureau chief in his poll met a weaker restaurant owner in los angeles, whose father disappeared 3 years ago. these mountains remind booker are keen, very much of home. he left china 6 years ago to start a new life in the us. everything seemed to go well until his father, who remained in china, was promptly snatched from his home during the night of october 25th in 2080. his

father owned one of the biggest rigor publishing firms and our king believes that his fight to protect the legal language. and culture was the reason why the chinese government put him in prison. arkwin says his father was leg her best friend supporting him financially in the us. my biggest here i really scare like he couldn't her cadillac his grandfather, childrens to his color of his me again. this lady is fear to see him again. i use this u. s. government then euro, they can do more to pressure on china about the edge in the genocide after his father was detained, mcgraw are keen,

a responsibility as a conscientious consumer. to understand that the wiggers are inextricably connected to american consumer ship and capitalism. that there are so many companies that have direct or indirect relationships, to weaker labor through the forced detention and force labor camps that the chinese are inflicting on them and have been for so long. so i am definitely interested in knowing more about them and i plan to google a wicker later today. here in germany, please say the motive for a deadly police shooting was likely an attempt to cover up illegal. poaching to men are accused of shooting dead to police off during a routine traffic stop. in southwestern germany, police say they found wild animal carcasses in the car. the suspects were detained after a large man. hot dw correspond julia. so deli has been reporting on this story.
