6:01 pm
ah, i am eddie micah junior. you are welcome to the program. speaking on the 2nd day of the munich security conference, ukrainian presidents vladimir zalinski, challenged members of the group in union and nato. to take the i relationship with you green seriously emotional remarks. he thanked partners for the at rhetorical and material support in the face of russia's military build up when you queens borders. but he said they have ukraine to thank for standing up to russian aggression for years on protecting the rest of you from it. on the stage, the lensky said, diplomacy is the only means, will you, queen, to regain the territory. at last, when russia talked in 2014, that led him to question russian claims that they are not seeking to do so again, we're gonna put them. rain is longing for peace. you are alone,
6:02 pm
is longing. the world is saying it doesn't want any wall while russia is claiming that she doesn't want to intervene. but if someone is here is lying, did abuse chief international added tart, richard walker joins us from the immune execute a conference. hello richard. what was the key message from blood mad? zalinski speech? hire d yet? well, it was a really striking speech that he gave here a munich and just a couple of hours ago. and if you think about it, it really was an extraordinary step for him to leave his country. at a moment of such a heightened danger for ukraine to the extent that joe biden, to you as president last night, a question whether it was sensible for zelinski to leave the country at a time where there, when it was in such peril. but sir lensky did make that move because he wanted to
6:03 pm
come to the audience here of collected essentially the collective west sitting here . the german chancellor, the vice president, united states, and many other very important western leaders gathered here who gave him a standing ovation at the beginning of this speech. but the, his message that he went on to give them was for many of them quite an uncomfortable message. he was essentially saying, well, thanks very much for all the rhetorical support that you given me and the declarations of solidarity. but now is the time to step up in terms of supplying a ukraine with more weapons, supplying it with money, and giving it really a concrete prospect to being able to join the nato alliance that is, at the heart of this crisis. so what effect could his appeal on anything? well, certainly we'll have a sort of a moral and a psychological effect on the audience here. i think everybody would have him been impressed by his courage in this situation of flying out of ukraine, bringing this message here. and also being big so's of steadfast in the demands
6:04 pm
that he's making. but if you look at the details of the things he's calling for, for instance, a, a really clear prospect of, of when his country might be able to join nato. that is very unlikely to come. he wants more weapons. he wants germany, for instance, to supply weapons. germany is very unlikely to do that is repeated that over and over. so in terms of the specific demands, he might not get everything he's asking for. financial support is probably one thing that he will get more of a but in terms of the sort of psychological and the moral effects on the lead is gathered here. i think it did have an impact that there's been a lot of powerful speeches given so far are listening to all of them. is there an increased sense of urgency now? yeah, i mean, there certainly is in not just because of the speeches that have been taking place here, partly because of that message from joe biden in washington last night, saying that he believes that vladimir putin has now made the decision to go ahead with some form of military action against you crane that sent the tone for today
6:05 pm
against oldenburg, the secretary general of nato. also talking to a colleague, terry schultz to sally, saying that also nato believes that there is increased risk and increase likelihood, where his words are of an attack taking place to that. these kind of this kind of sense, really setting the tone here in munich, a sense of an extraordinary conference happening with europe potentially on the brink of war. and finally, one step from the german side, which was interesting. now giving out an urgent call for all german citizens who are in ukraine to leave the previous travel warning that the germans have put out was less definitive. richard walker did of you chief international editor. thank you very much. now despite those claims on russia, that it is not seek in military conflicts in ukraine friesland vladimir putin supervise what russia calls shadowed military exercises in the company of his staunchest ally in the region. but lucian, lida,
6:06 pm
alexander lucas ankle. that maneuvers include tests of nuclear capable, ballistic missiles, b o r, a g o o. these are just exercises, but this gale is massive. russia launched ballistic missiles as part of the nuclear drills along ukraine's borders in the air on ground. and at sea president putin and bella, russian leader lucas shinkel, watched them closely from the situation room in the kremlin. moscow communicated that the planned exercises should not cause any one concern, but they come at a questionable time. separatist russian back leaders made a call to arms, citing an immediate threat of aggression from ukraine. but if the way the middle school i call on fellow countrymen who were in reserve to come to the military commissariat system of gruff a few, today i signed
6:07 pm
a decree on general mobilization gives him assume my appeal to all the men of the republic who are able to hold weapons in their hands of a shuttle to stand up for their family, their children ruined wives, mothers from youth. when who together we will achieve the desired and necessary victory for all of us will be of, but ukraine's military beliefs separate his forces at trying to provoke a response. and that russia is the one shelling in the netscape ukraine reported that 2 of its soldiers died and attacks on saturday below which was the in the shelling has started and hasn't started. lucas, it's hard to estimate the intensity be semantically on 17th, 18th and 19th february. the dynamic was the same around $60.00 to $65.00 shillings per day. meanwhile, separatist authorities evacuated civilians from the russia back rebel regions. some were brought over the border to russia by bus of us decided to drive themselves that we had enough in 2014. we don't want to wait until the last minute. better
6:08 pm
leave in advance. machine done, my husband as a reserve officer for the men were warned to stay where they were, and boys over 18 years old and not allowed out so that everyone is in place. it interesting when you move was go show supers. the beauty of them is the what if it for those who have nowhere to go, russia set up temporary camps near border checkpoint, many a hoping to soon return home. did of you correspondence? nick connelly joins us now from career that make germans have been advised to leave ukraine. what is the feeling amongst people you are talking to while keith is still a very lively city, lots full out on this sunny weekends day here. feels like early spring and this has been part of the kind of story of the last few weeks and months the outside world getting progressively more panic by the situation. and people here in ukraine being remarkably calm, people will tell you that they have lived with a threat of war with rush over the past,
6:09 pm
past 8 years. and that this doesn't really feel like anything new, anything significantly different from the escalations they see in the past. but i think that is slowly changing. now. news of oligarchs and pro russian lawmakers from ukraine's parliament leaving the country and private jets. and that c increasing shelling, fighting in these the country creasing, may people nervous people making preparations that withdrawing money from banks make sure they're having a foreign currency in case they need to leave in a hurry, sending their kids to the countryside to stay with relatives away from the big cities finding out where their nearest bomb shelters are, all these kinds of daily things that people are kind of doing to have a practical way out. should they needed that thou so renewed reports of florida or fighting in east in ukraine was the leads as you're hearing. well, the externally thing is that in these recent weeks where we had that huge russian troops build up when you cranes borders that continues weirdly enough in don bass. that 8 year conflict between per russian separates and ukraine was pretty quiet. there was little in the way of shooting little in the way of casualties for weeks.
6:10 pm
and now, suddenly that feels like it's been dolled up ukraine's would say that this is russia telling the separatists to up the heat to increase the pressure on ukraine to maybe provoke it, to respond. basically, the kevin view, the view from ukraine's government would be that this is russia trying to create a reason for war by getting a provoking ukraine is some kind of overreaction. we had a kindergarten on the ukrainian controlled side being hit by shells last few days. images of people in bomb shelters for the 1st time, really in weeks and going tensions and to day than the news from at least the claims from russian media that some of those ukranian shall supposedly landed on russian territory. not separate control territory, but our russian church in nearby, we've had a message from the ukraine. farmers to categorically denying that. but that if it were, if that would be aligned, that the russians were to push further would have to be a very danger development. something that could potentially be used as a pretext for starting actually gets where ukraine and civilians have been evacuated by separatist authorities from their rabbi held don barza regions and
6:11 pm
into russia. how are you green in authorities, reactance of that they've called on the civilians. they're to come to ukrainian government control territory not to go to russia. they've made clear that they say there is no plan here in ukraine to try and return those churches by force. that of the is the line coming from a separatist leadership that ukrainian attack is imminent. and that the reason for why civilians would need to leave to go to russia and why fighting men would have to register for some kind of reserve forces. they're trying to kind of doll down the rhetoric. there isn't some debate about the actual number of people leaving them. high numbers being quoted by the separate authorities, the russian authorities say giving to give a low and numbers to potentially this is just something that is part of the information was trying to create a t v image that would suggest a growing tensions and panic rather than a reality, but for now, it does seem that he is heading that way and that see if it was, people are leaving those reasons for russia. may connelly and keith. thank you.
