includes in the coming days or diplomatic efforts to deescalate have failed to bridge the divide. jeremy, which, unlike other nato countries, has refused to send arms to ukraine for fear provoking. russia continues to hold out hope in latin, a delicious give me want to make clear that there is a red line here, and this is the sovereignty of ukraine item. we are preparing our response with all necessary measures and toughness, but we are also simultaneously working for dialogue and for the process. not only to be back at the table, but to stay there. i'm tish, mission designs, orlando, all her sublime. german chancellor, olaf show its will travel to moscow on tuesday to meet with fulton madrid, bob hoffman. we have to be rid, amid the exodus from his country ukrainian president followed him. lensky is appealing for calm. we have a lot of information because we are on these borders. it's our borders. it's our

territory. you know, i have to speak with our people like, you know, you know, like, like breasted and, and said people throughs. and that throws that we have different information, and now the best friend for enemies that hispanic in our country. his words, a reminder that until the 1st shot is fired and anger, a fragile piece prevails. and we can speak to dw correspondent nick connelly now he joins us from the ukrainian capital camp. so nick, the u. s. a has been a warning of an imminent incursion for weeks now. but russia keeps denying any plans to attack ukraine and it says, the west is spreading dis information. what do you craniums make of these contradictory messages? well man, i think there's gonna be little trust in words coming from moscow in the country that has seen russia annex crimea, with the so called little green men,

which we were initially denied any link with moscow. and then it turned out they were all russian soldiers and has been supporting a separatist in easton ukraine since 2014 so little credence given to those words from russia. but there is a difference in interpretation. they tell us between key f and washington and other west l as that is definitely the case. we've been hiring these cal apocalyptic. a warnings from the u. s. and other west european capitals. now in recent days and volumes zalinski, as you heard in the piece that was warning against panic, saying that his information is different. now, some of that is probably down to him and the graham having access to lessen the way of intelligence data than the u. s. but it also is a question of emphasis. it seems like the u. s. is trying to, for a ground this. and if you give dates, give lots of detail on, not potentially in an attempt to try and discourage russia from doing something by drawing so much attention to this, that the permanent backs away the ukraine. leaders of c, worried that panic will ensue,

and the people here in care of will either start trying to move towards the you leave their homes will sell up that the economy could be in dire straits. so there is a bit of a difference there in our priorities, but i think the ukrainians, most only recurring trends will tell you that those troops, those russian troops, there's russian tanks on their borders or something. but people here are very definitely worried about an hour, also hearing growing numbers of countries telling their citizens to leave ukraine if they're inside the country and to not travel to ukraine if they are intending to do so. how is this being perceived among ukrainians as they're watching, perhaps more and more a foreign citizens leaving? i think it definitely that this announcement now in the last few days by several countries, including germany today is something that most people are feeling worried about previously was an optional thing for most of the embassies that they told to provide the families that they could go if they wanted to, now this is happening,

lots of western susan's all basically shutting up shop here in care of all moving parts of their operation to west ukraine, closer to the you and nato. and you noticed that people who for the last few weeks maybe were able to put a kind of an abstract themselves from these headlines and basically assumed this was just another escalation, the kind that they'd lived with the past 8 years. they are now starting to and basically correct their behavior. you hear about people taking money out of banks, making sure they have notes for in foreign currency. small terminations, bags, ready, packed, in case they need to leave in a hurry, sweep law, taking the serious lee even if for lots of them that there isn't a plan b, there is no where to go. and even if there were some kind of invasion intervention, many people here don't have somewhere else. they can go to w is nick connelly in t f. thank you so much for your importing. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making use this. our hungarian prime
