4:03 am
the move. how much for the cameras aimed at rattling cave in the west with preparations for all out war. for all that the mood here and give is still remarkably calm, with people out in large numbers, enjoying the 1st mulder days of the year. but that refusal to panic doesn't mean people aren't filling the news and aren't preparing after weeks, which you felt like the outside world was more concerned by the news of russian tanks, ukraine's borders than ukrainians themselves. images of diplomats backing up the reports of the countries. oligarchs, and pro russian politicians scrambling to leave the country on private jets have really cut through with ordinary ukrainians. but unlike their oligarchs most ordinary ukrainians, don't have a plan b and don't have anywhere else to go. a commonly them all the shilling of ukrainian controlled areas which had a kindergarten among other targets as being blamed on russian backed separatists. our correspondent mathias building. it visited the area to get a 1st hand view of the complex situation and how it's affecting local residents.
4:04 am
the traces of destruction have been patched up 2 days ago this kindergarten in the town of stunning, said one sca was hit by a shell. now the kids are at home, but a visitor is expected. ukraine's deputy prime minister, you lena, very shook is inspecting the damage we do not provoke, we do not want an escalation. we want peace, we want protection and security for our people, especially for those who live here for pensioners and children, and those who cannot protect themselves with gunfire can be heard frequently. now here and standing several hands go. just before the minister arrived, we heard heavier tillery the town has been shoved for 3 days in a row. now. sure, we'll go the scenarios that it was when there are heavy explosions. we hide in the
4:05 am
sellers, but when it's shelling like this, we're still on the street, although nobody knows and it's all unpredictable. it's just when it's that you and i were standing here now and anything can fly by china. religion. little stunning salons cause a small but important place along the front line. a bridge to the other side is open to civilians being one of only 2 checkpoints where people could cross over to the other side. this place has long been spared over tillery, but now this has definitely changed new yard almost of wood to shoe hoover. i think it will even get worse. the young girls, i'm not a coward who could reasonably use, i'm afraid for my grandchildren. i wouldn't want them to be scared, and i don't want to see them disabled. identity of he'll be dealing with international observers. have warned that the escalation might be the prelude to a larger incursion, or even a full scale invasion. not all our intelligence does not confirm that. so we are
4:06 am
seeing certain steps towards an escalation, as you all can see and hear their shelling happening. but that does not mean that a full invasion is under way with doorbell. no must of nevada. but even without a full scale invasion tensions remain high here on the frontline. now to try and resolve the crisis on his board, ukraine's president followed miss lensky as calling for face to face, talked with vladimir putin. moscow. he said, could even pick the location of the making. zalinski was speaking at the munich security conference, where he said that ukraine will not respond to provocations in the eastern part of the country, but will defend itself against russian hostility. he also appeal for more support to shield his country against the brush and threat. on the 2nd day, he took center stage, reloaded mules, the lensky president of the country. all others have been talking about since the
4:07 am
conference kicked off ukraine country at the bring before he left. he is against advice from washington to make one more urgent call for help. we juno, boy, you're good of em. all. everyone needs to understand that this is not some kind of donation ukraine to be bragging for them. i believe that this is not just a broad gesture that ukraine should be bowing down for. thank you, green and my. this is your contribution to the european and international security for which ukraine has been serving as a she'll for 8 years now. green are reliable shield year, holding back one of the largest armies in the world. these humorous gifts, 3 murders they did. army suite zalinski is that his country is not going to be a permanent buffer against that army on villa medical. in bilateral meetings, he won the west that natal members could be next if ukraine is attacked soon and, and the u. s. is convinced an attack is imminent. we now receive
4:08 am
reports of what appears to be provocations. and we see russia spreading. this information lies and propaganda. german chancellor olive shawls also stressed that moscow stated reasons for security concerns are a pretext, was the genocide. this is the real problem that there is not the mate membership of ukraine on the agenda. it will not happen the next time i'd even up in the near time putting knows that the situation. but that is something ukraine's president has put up for debate because he would like to see his country join both the european union and natalie. yeah, because the brake light. ok now. gosh, it do it. it were told, the doors are open for you. but so far, there's no opportunity you actually teach late and not all the members are willing to see us. they are all members don't want to see us. there would be honest about
4:09 am
it because he open doors are good grades, but we need open answer. alabama. didn't meet great g, v g answers or something. he didn't get well in munich, but still hoping to get some before it's too late. or data will you had the chance to speak to german foreign minister and alina burbock and ask her about the mounting tensions of ukraine. when you, 7 minister, germany has asked all german citizens to leave ukraine immediately? has the security situation changed? the amber? i'd say we already put precautionary measures in place for germans citizens last week. in the last 48 hours, we've seen false flag operations, whence again, all flat. they've been used as a pretext by separatist. and to say there's been further escalation vida design. we've therefore now introduced further measures to show we are prepared for all eventualities. so martin m does v our volleyball, but i didn't. the ukrainian president lensky has been clearly critical of germany.
4:10 am
can germany do more than happy in mentioning and asked with i and the schools here in munich that we are totally on the side of ukraine, and that we in full solidarity, continued to support ukraine as the largest financial don't i'd yet, because the current situation more than anything i contributed to internal destabilization regarding not just financial, but also economic stability of i. we will keep building on this and also look at how we could provide moral support in terms of security. when you said president lensky also demanded a specific statement regarding his country's chances of nato membership, what is your response to him? him? doesn't he ask what i said he yesterday? and also in the last several weeks, every country can freely decide about its alliances for the future. this is not the right of other states and that, but with the soul right of a country and above all, its people find that applies to nato. that applies to the
4:11 am
e u. this applies to all other alliances in the world, as is the case for all other countries. but is there still a connection between berlin and moscow? i is still talking in concrete terms today, for example, somebody in actually yes, of course we're talking across all channels because we are in a highly dangerous situation. we have repeated, he made it clear that the most important thing is peace in europe and peace for every one in europe. and so we once again renew ela. sincere invitation to hold discussions within the framework of the minster processes, normandy, form it. we're seeing how much insecurity people in the occupied territories and east and ukraine have lived through. and that is all them also in the last several hours. so that's why it's all the more important now to come back to the negotiating table to ensure security for the people in the region whenever you want to talk to me. and i'm thank you. thank you as well. his look now at some of the
