the lensky president of the country. all others have been talking about since the conference kicked off ukraine, a country at the bring before he left. he, if against advice from washington to make one more urgent call for help, we gentlemen, would, you could of a more, every one needs to understand that this is not some kind of donation ukraine to be bragging for them. i believe 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 humorous gifts, 3 murders. they did an army sweep, zalinski that his country is not going to be a permanent buffer against that army. on gil america. 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 left shawls also stressed that moscow stated reasons for its 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 not in the near time 40 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 yi about hard to break leg ok now cause it to where it were told the doors are open on you, but so far there's no opportunity. you actually have sheets late and not all the

members are willing to see us. they are all members don't want to see us there. ought to be honest about it, because he opened doors are good it great, but we need open answer. helena malignant grady. everybody answers or something. he didn't get well in munich, but still hoping to get them before it's too late. well, on location at the munich security conference is d. w. 's chief political editor, mckayla, cuz they're hi michelle, a good to see. now we just saw ukraine's president followed the mirror to lansky, asking for more support to defend ukraine against russia at what's been the response to his appeal. well, he has all the moral solidarity he ones, but quite clearly, this conflict will not become a nato conflict. and that was made absolutely clear to me to him. and he had a very passionate speech here for the delegates, for the heads of government. basically asking for clarity,

do you want us that we do not want us? and ideally, asking for a timeline to join nato in the future, that is simply not going to happen. nobody wants to provoke rasa even further. there's a focus on diplomacy and a focus on understanding what exactly vladimir putin once. when he talks about new stability in europe, a new balance that he wants to strike and hit nato, the you will have to find a fine line between not crossing its own limits of keeping an open door for potential future members, both for the you and nato, while at the same time taking on board the concerns that rossa has, that is really squaring the circle in diplomatic terms. everybody still wants to do that. and at the same time, everybody's watching that truth build up, continue. mikaela, it's the last day of the munich security conference. is there

a greater sense of hope that a solution can be found to the you at the ukraine, russia crisis? the short answer is no, but there is certainly a much greater sense of unity in the west. we've seen the previous to munich security conferences, free pandemic talk about west listeners this orientation. what is the west still? well, if anything of was the result of russia's latest provocation, it's that at the west has found a purpose for sticking together. nato was described as brain dead by the french present just 2 years ago. while it is thinking very clearly at this moment in time . and so that i think is also an outcome that, that, that in the putin didn't exactly expect. at the same time. there is great concern over that actually being a new rule, an escalation of that war in between russia and ukraine. and big question marks.

what that will mean for the years ahead t w's chief political editor at the munich security conference mechanics of nath. thank you. the recent shelling of ukrainian controlled areas which hit a kindergarten among other targets has been blamed on. russian backed separatists are corresponded, mateus billing, i visited the area to get a 1st hand view of the situation and how it's affecting local residents. the traces of destruction have been patched up 2 days ago with this kindergarten in the town of stunning, said ron sca was hit by a shell. now the kids are at home, but a visitor is expected. ukraine's deputy prime minister, you dream of it? he 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 whom office above the gunfire can be heard frequently mal here and stunning fellow hands go. just before the minister arrived, we heard heavier tillery the town has been shoved for 3 days in a row. no. sure. look at the scenarios that it was when there are heavy explosions . we hide in the sellers, but when it's shelling like this, we're still on the street. although nobody knows. and this all unpredictable was just ones that you and i were standing here now. and anything can fly by showing that a little, little stunted alons cause a small but important place along the front line. 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 of a tillery, but now this has definitely changed new yard almost of wood to shoot, and i think it will even get worse. a young girls, i'm not

a coward. who could reasonably, 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 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, or 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 under way to overcome the most of them. but even without a full scale invasion tensions remain high here on the frontline. here's a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. one of the passengers missing aboard the ferry ablaze off grease has been found alive. the man was spotted on the stern of the ship. the ferry caught fire in the ione and see on friday with ram 300 passengers on board. canadian police have pushed back

his team will go to germany, completely dominant in the sliding competitions. 9 out of 10 go, it's really incredible. but while at germany had a flood of golds, it was more of a trickle team. g b, the british team, i think even strictly it's probably generous. they have to wait until the final day in the car like before they got that gold metal. that was even you had to skip. finally for her after 3 previous picks where she came away without a couch. you've got a hands on one last, they beat japan and dominant victory in the women's telling final. so great success that and there was also a 1st for finland in the ice hockey. now that has always been ever so consistent. and i talk competition. but this was the 1st time they've been on the top step of the party and they beat the rushing olympic committee to want a real does victory for them. and i have to say inside the arena, it was the most boisterous celebrations i've seen at these olympics. i filed a through the helmets in the they threw that sticks onto the ice. they ran on and

moped each other, really enjoying the moment. and you can't blame them for that can happen. now you can to course not. now with all the metals time that i to the athlete to top the metal table, that would be no way out with a 16 gold medals to raise your hole in the cross country added a gold medal. number 16 today said that is a wreck or no country before as one has so many go matter was, it's a wind, a lympics. now you might say, look, norway, they've got all the snow. it's easy for them, right? but, you know, compared to other countries, they do have a smaller population. there are countries like germany, austria, sweden, with big populations who don't get to the top of the meadow table. what makes norway stand that what they really focus on? grassroots and youth participation getting kids involved in the sport early on at germany, finish 2nd place in the middle table like they did impugn chang 4 years ago. now that was thanks largely to the sliding success as we talked about in the loo skeleton and pops that didn't be so well in other sports. and china instead place that most successful winter olympics ever are they finished with 9 gold medals that

was almost double that previous best, different vancouver in 2010, but perhaps more importantly for the chinese government, they finished a hate of the united states chanting crane in beijing a pleasure, as always, thank you. aim boon. this eager action hoffen hind got off to a slow start against valve spring, but turned it around winning to one after scoring 2 goals in 5 minutes. yackel boone larson had only been on the pitch for 3 minutes when he connected with a scissor cake to tie the game for half a time. is wonder go provided house and time with the spark. they needed to turn the game round and underline there for credentials with ac per and finally, carnival celebrations have returned to the french city of niece after a 2 year absence. spectators enjoyed a lavish parade featuring a king of animals theme. carnival was postponed for 2 years. there seemed to be
