i feel the anxiety incite made by them. others are already planning their escape. yes, because i'm here and we will side to real pulled back. will them hazelynn and to prepare all documents in one book and making plans for their children? i find them when we come to ukrainian forces training near the black sea. these urban warfare exercises hint at the kind of unrest they are preparing for residence. zalinski, however, called for com heads the best friend for enemies that is benny in our country. and all these information details only for fanny doesn't help us. during an hour long phone call on saturday,

u. s. president joe biden warned vladimir putin of swift and severe costs. if russia does invade, hooton's team accused the u. s. of unprecedented hysteria. the u. s. is tough. diplomat anthony blinking also spoke with his russian counterpart on our call for minister lover off said that ugh, russians are working on a response to the paper that we sent to moscow. more than 2 weeks ago, proposing concrete areas for discussion. it remains to be seen itself all through on that, but if they do, we'll be ready to engage on sunday contingency plans turned real us staff at the organization for security and cooperation in europe faced in the rebel held city of dun asked for packing up and heading home, they're just the latest group to decide that the risk of all out war is now 2 great . we can as fee to d. w, correspond to nick connelly, who joins us from the ukranian capital,

can hello to you neck. so we've heard biden's national security advisor, jake sullivan say that russia could invade ukraine any day. now, how are people in ukraine dealing with this kind of dire warning? well, i think some of those are more extreme mornings from washington. have indeed a gone over people's heads, people trying their best to focus on everyday life and enjoying what was a beautiful sunny if very cold sunday here and key of lots people out. anything that really cut through though, after all, that diplomatic flurry of activity all the meetings, all the summits was the decision in the last few days by most western embassies to shut up shop, or at least bring out most of their staff from key of sometimes to western grain sometimes taking them now to come to the u. s. is even evacuating soldiers that are here in ukraine to teach ukrainian soldiers to use us weapons. so those goddesses and seeing people pack up, seeing the embassies draw down st. off out that really has got people thinking,

then there was decision, a lawsuit dazed by various airlines too. so stop their flights ukraine of security features. so i think those got more practical things. people seeing their holidays are made impossible, but lots canceled that kind of thing. seeing that those institutions close that really has got people thinking should they be leaving to lots people here? you can have suitcases packed anyway with cash, with clothes, with documents in case they need to go. i think most people haven't kept thinking about whether they're actually going to need them the next few days. while the flurry of diplomatic activity, it doesn't seem that it has going to be stopping and germany's chance or all of shoals is due to visit. key of to morrow are right before he goes to moscow to meet vladimir putin on tuesday. was the ukrainian president expecting from germany. very good question. there been on preston detention between berlin and kevin recent weeks over german's refusal. firstly to a supply defense weapons, something that the u. k. the u. s. baltic countries and poland have done for

ukraine. germany saying that it doesn't want to supply weapons to a conflict zone or potential conflict zone, something the ukrainian se doesn't really stack up. if you look at germany's willingness to send weapon, say to the iraqi kurds, then there's no stream to the gas pipeline taking gas direct from rusty germany, bypassing ukraine, allowing ukraine says the kremlin to send its gas to europe without having to use the ukrainian gas pipeline network allowing russia to destabilize ukraine without any threats of economic damage to russia's exports. so there's lots of potential there for conflict. and miss disagreement, i think there is going to be a concerted effort now on the part of berlin and concerts to try and convince ukraine that germany's were law bought in germany does have ukraine's interests at heart. and that germany can provide a constructive role in mediating to try and just just let the situation nick connelly reporting for us from calf. thank you so much. german president frank welter, sy meyer has been elected for
