7, ah, this is d, w. news live from berlin. a fresh diplomatic push to prevent a russian invasion of your crime. russia extends military frills, but joins calls for more talks to avoid ball western leaders coordinate efforts to get moscow to pull back from the brink. also coming up the crime remembers victims at the uprising 8 years ago, which asked that the den pro russia president correspondent in the capital here will bring us the latest developments. and in the buddhist league of the battle of the brush, he has turned out to be a rain soaked gold, fist with dorgan's,

mock or voice haunting his former club. ah m. anthony? how'd welcome there are hopes of the breakthrough in the crisis of ukraine. as the bratia, he cried, and the west joined calls for more talks to stave off. a conflict roster is extending military drills in bella bruce, but frances president, a kron was told, moscow is planning to withdraw troops. once the exercise ins diplomatic efforts are focused on a cease fire in easton ukraine, where rush and back separatists have re ignited a simmering conflict. on the lookout as shells fall on ukraine's eastern front government forces say they have been ordered to show restraint and they

trust me right now we don't respond to their fire because we're all there's a shooting at us now at the command, post commando unusable to live our commanders don't allow us to file and we are following orders even if there is a wish to respond. but if the board of deutsche, because the enemy is waiting for us to shoot back at the motor to the police, but if there is no political agreement, things will get resolved. with military power. ukraine's interior minister came under fire while visiting soldiers in the east. he was later brought to safety with navy school we. i'm a civilian, i'm not a soldier. i'm shocked. say more and i know that the civilians who live here permanently feel this fear. christina la emma noise at city lou. a fear that is

uprooting lives as the crisis intensifies residents of ukraine, separatist regions, boarded trains, and buses bound for russia, whose cousin, my husband said, go away, take the kids and go to their physical and psychological health is more important than anything else. so meanwhile, russia has extended joint military drills with belarus that we're scheduled to end sunday. the exercises include nuclear capable missiles. nato has joined the us in warning that russia is planning a quote, full fledged attack against ukraine. and joined now by lay on a fixed resident fellow at the german marshall fund in washington, and an expert on european security. welcome to you. ferdinand micron seemed to have agreed to arrange a summit. what do you think the russian president wants from that? at this late stage, this suddenly

a last minute ditch by the front president to try to prevent military escalation and especially election advance on you quain. these, this agreement can be interpreted in 2 ways. it can be either a serious interest by the washington president in such a summit and in you can q to go in t or can be interpreted as a instrument to pretend willingness for dialogue while at the same time continuing with tele actions. the last time the fund president spoke with the wash and president, he got the promise that tube would withdraw and bella was something which did not happen. so there are serious question marks to what extent the statement of this talk between the 2 president actually signaled a willingness thought de escalation for moscow on the ground. we can see the

country you can see continuous military build up. be on a few days ago. you can watered an article titled, what if russia wins? what do you think of russian incursion and victory in their eyes would look like? yes indeed, my colleague miko commissioned. i try to look what is, what if washer wins in ukraine and what should be the response of europe and the united states to that, how the landscaping will change and washing victor. we can come in various ways that can either imply in military victory in new quain, which means the military victory over the ukrainian army. it can imply a petition of the country, but also as suggested by the us administration in washington. it can also imply inducing with him change of the government of overflow in kiev with a more pro washing government. so those could be various forms without military

incursion. we could also see attempts to destabilize the claim, to disinformation, and to a cyber campaigns. as we have already seen in the last week, so there are different ways that moscow could pursue. but what a certainly concerning the she is gulp of the military build on new queen's fathers, which is reason to fear the worst. with that victory would come a cost if the west you not to impose sanctions on russia just how bad will it get for russia and how quickly those sanctions indeed to serious sanctions packet compared to the sanctions that were put into place in 2014 after the annexation of crimea, and that the stipulation of the send, you claim these sanctions as was communicated would start at a very high level. and they would probably include sanctions against washing banks, which would be one of the most far reaching measures. and germany has also

communicated that not going to would be on the table. what has significant with the funds build up after 2014 in 2015, which had hopes were buffer the impact of sanctions. and then the actual impact also depends on the state of washington retaliation. so the washing budget, the washing economy very much depends on the export of oil and gas to you and other countries. so if wash i did find to use old and gas as a political to, to retaliate against western sanctions that might also in consequence. hum, hum, moscow's economic interests from the gentleman marshal fund in washington, indiana fix many thanks. thank you. my mother, you as vice president camera harris has warned that war in europe remains a real possibility. she was speaking as the munich security conference drew to a close, the gathering brought together western leaders and ukraine's president. but russia

st. no representative for the 1st time since 1991. on its last day, the conference shifted for goes to europe and its role in the crisis unfolding on ukraine's bought a new council presidential. michelle summed up the views of many in the block, any janitor over offer and the live branch, while russia and dix missile test intern tenuous to m as troops. but ladies and gentlemen, one thing is certain, if there is further military aggression, we really, we are with massive sanctions. and just for russia must be and will be severe. but let's be french. it will be also, are just for us in europe, losing our prize europe seems willing to pay if russia does attack ukraine. because the threat from moscow has not caused division in the alliance. michelle stressed,

but cemented unity and unity of purpose. the youth foreign policy chief added in contrast to countries like russia and china, which were undermining democracy and watering down human rights, must realised that the main target did is not about defending western values is not about defending the west, but upholding shared principles. that on to been come on security and promote collective goals. the conference was a show of western resolve, but not of dialogue with russia, which was absent for the 1st time in decades. the hope is that bloody mir putin can still be persuaded to step back from the brink of war. and he's looking out some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the cell sydney, security forces have fire tear gas of protest is demonstrating against last october's military coup medic say,
