he's not planning an attack on ukraine. ah, i am eddie mike, a junior and you're welcome to the program. speaking on the 2nd day of the munich security conference, ukrainian press, standard law mazda lensky, challenged members of the union on nato. to take the i relationship with your green seriously emotional remarks. he thanked partners for the at rhetorical and material supports in the face of rash. yes, military build on ukraine's board is but he said the have you going to thank for standing up to russian aggression for years and protecting the rest of europe from it. we are still so ascii said diplomacy is the only means for ukraine to be gained . the territory had lost when russia attacked in 2014. that led him to question russian claims that they are not seen to do so again. graham cordially,

rain is longing foot piece. euro is long in the world is saying, it doesn't want any war. while russia is claiming that she doesn't want to intervene, but if someone is here is law, did abuse. chief international editor, richard walker joins us from them. you know, security conference. hello richard. what was the key message from blood mad? zalinski speech? hire d. yeah. 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, and to the extent that joe biden you as president last night, a question whether it was sensible for a zalinski to leave the country at a time,
7:03 pm
whether it, when it was in such peril. but sir lensky did make that move because he wanted to 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 their speech. but 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,
7:04 pm
bringing this message here. and also being big's house of steadfast in the demands 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. 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
7:05 pm
with some form of military action against you. crane that sent the tone for today 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 and 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 rigid walker dw chief international edits. i thank you very much. now this fight, those claims from russia, that it is not seek in the military conflicts in ukraine. president vladimir putin supervise what russia calls shadowed military exercises in the company of his
7:06 pm
staunchest ally in the region. but lucian dida, alexandre, look a single. the maneuvers include tests of nuclear capable ballistic missiles. the la id. oh oh, these are just exercises, but this gale is massive. russia launch ballistic missiles, is 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 plant 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. the way the middle school i call on fellow countrymen who were in reserve to come to the military commissariat
7:07 pm
system of growth. a few today i signed a decree on general mobilization gives him with schuman my appeal to all the men of the republic who are able to hold weapons in their hands of the shipper to stand up for their families, their children. one why, of his mothers, from youth when who together we will achieve the desired and necessary victory for all of us. why be? but ukraine's military beliefs, separatist forces are trying to provoke a response and that russian backed separatists other ones shelling and done. thus. ukraine reported that 2 of its soldiers died in attacks on saturday. one more, which was the in the shelling has started and hasn't stopped lucas. it's hard to estimate the intensity to be seen. lovely on 17th, 18th and 19th february. the dynamic was the same around $60.00 to $65.00 shillings per day. meanwhile, it is authorities evacuated civilians from the russia back level regions. some are brought over the border to russia by bus. others decided to drive themselves that
7:08 pm
we had enough in 2014. we don't want to wait until the last minute. better 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 with him. not interesting when you of was go. sure, simplest a 1000000000 the mr. up initiative for those who have nowhere to go. russia set up temporary camps near border checkpoint. many are hoping to soon return home. deluca respondent nick connelly joins us now from 2 years that nick, germans have been advised to leave ukraine. what is the feeling amongst people you're talking to? walk here is still a very lively city. lots for out on this sunny weekend 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,
7:09 pm
people will tell you that they've lived with a threat of war with russia for the party in the past 8 years. and that this doesn't really feel like anything new, anything specifically different from the escalations is 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 see increasing shelling fighting in these the country creasing the main people nervous people making preparations, withdrawing money from banks, make sure they have an 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 with 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 a tao, so renewed reports of floor apps or fighting in east in ukraine? what's the lead as you're hearing? well, the exclusionary thing is that in these recent weeks where we had that huge russian troops build up on ukraine's borders, that continues weirdly enough in dawn bass that 8 year conflict between per russian separates and ukraine was pretty quiet. there was little in the way of shooting
7:10 pm
little the way of casualties for weeks. 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 key even view, the view from ukraine's government would be that this is russia tried to create a reason for war by getting a provoking ukraine to 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 today then the news from at least the claims from russian media that some of those ukranian shall supposedly landed on russian territory, not to separate control turkey, but our russian church nearby. we've had a message from the ukraine. foreign minister categorically denying that. but that if it were, if that would be aligned, that the russians were to push further, would also be a very danger development. something that could potentially be used as a pretext for starting actually gets what ukraine may connelly and keith. thank you
