the lensky president of the country. all others have been talking about since the conference kicked off ukraine, a country at the brink of war. he left key, if against advice from washington to make one more urgent call for help. we gentlemen would, you could've or more, every one needs to understand that this is not some kind of donation need 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 shield for 8 years now. great. not a reliable shield yet. holding back one of the largest armies in the world. these humoral gifts 3 murders, they did army suite zalinski that his country is not going to be a permanent buffer against that army on villa medical schools. in bilateral meetings, he won the west that nato members could be next. if ukraine is attacked soon and, and the u. s. is convinced an attack is imminent. we now receive

reports of what appears to be provocations, and we see russia spreading. this information lies and propaganda. german chancellor will of shawls also stressed that moscow stated reasons for security concerns are a pretext worse genocide. this is the real problem that there is not the late membership of few green on the agenda. it will not happen the next time, even not 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 johan, to break like. ok now because it do it. if it were told, the doors are open, throwing him, 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 it because he open doors are good. it's great, but we need open answer. allen number didn't great. everybody did answer us or something he didn't get while in munich, but still hoping to get them before it's too late. well, us president joe biden will meet with his national security council later today to discuss what the white house says could be an imminent attack on ukraine. nato has joined the u. s. in that assessment and is relocating staff from the capital keith in anticipation of an invasion. and while russia continues to claim that it's not seeking conflict, it's military conducted drills involving nuclear capable missiles. president vladimir putin oversold those drills joined in his situation room by about a routine president, alexander lucas shank through. while for more on the crisis, dw correspondent funding for shar, joins us now from keith. i find it good to see you. now. we saw ukraine's president

vladimir to lansky in munich, asking for more at western support and the meeting with vladimir putin. what are the chances he'll get either? first of all, let me tell you that speech by president zalinski echoed very well here, both among his to put us in ukraine, but even some of his opponents, as he pointed out, that is global infrastructure to help a guarantee securities to countries. for example, ukraine is broken or almost broken and very, very weak. so really i could well here in terms of immediate reactions, vault, for example, the world bank a considers both short term and long term financial aid to help the economy here to help create jobs, child to infrastructure infrastructure in ukraine, and the ukraine defense men is actually pointed out yesterday that a plane arrived from canada full of military gear and mores on the way, apparently from other nato allies. but when it comes to a meeting,

even ab between mrs and sky, and mister putin given the fact that the positions are so hardening between the 2 pots, it's very unlikely at this point, not impossible. what is important at this point that they are taught at all, even if it's just indirectly between ukraine and russia. for example, frost president micron is supposed to have a phone call vida vladimir putin today. so there is still room for negotiation and even the escalation, observe as hope, as long as his diplomatic channels remain open. now funny, what's the latest you're hearing about the situation? am in eastern ukraine, according to the always c o. c, money, toast. they were about 2000 a cease fire violations that we just said in the eastern ukraine. that clearly tells you that the situation there is very volatile. there is an increase in violence. and really the question is how that he's going to continue. now ukraine

made clear over and over again, but also of the west that they do not want to buy into any approval cation. they see the entire situation of mobilization, of forces by a pro russia separatist, other q a sion, all the people from the east and ukraine region towards russia. as a way to find a pretext, actually invade ukraine. ukraine or still wants to spread the message that they are interested in peace and a peaceful way of resolving this issue. but as everything hangs in the balance and time is a going on really, the question is just how long there is this possibility to find a way to resolve this without any major escalation here in ukraine. funny fish are in cave. thank you for that update. the recent shelling of ukrainian controlled areas which hit a kindergarten among other targets has been blamed on russian back separatists are correspondent mateo spelling of visited the area to get a 1st time view of the situation and how it's affecting local residents. the

we hide in the sellers, but when it's shelling like this, we're still on the street. although nobody knows and it's all unpredictable which is wednesday, you and i were standing here now and any think in fly by shining polluted. little stunted salons as 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 double your tissue. i think it will even get worse. the young girls, i'm not a coward who could reasonable use, i'm afraid for my grandchildren. i wouldn't want them to be scared, and i don't want to see them disabled for daddy of he'll be dealing with the deal at the international observers have warned that the escalation might be the prelude to a larger incursion, or even a full scale invasion. not all of our intelligence does not confirm this. we are

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 on the way. what doorbell? no, most of the building. but even without a full scale invasion tensions remain high here on the front line. here's a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. at least 13 people have died in the central somali tan of ballad wayne, after a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest at a crowded restaurant. somali national television said 18 others were wounded in the blast on the eve of local elections. the asha bob extremist group claimed responsibility. a pakistani man who strangled his sister has been freed from prison after his parents pardoned him. under islamic law, mohammed was seen confessed to the killing describing his sister's social media posts as shameful. a judge ruled her death was not a so called honor killing,
