ah, ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin. ukraine tells it citizens in russia to leave as aggression increases. he have officials prepare a state of emergency declaration and call up reservists, as fear of a further russian invasion grove's residence. li parts of eastern ukraine as separate as shelling continues of corresponding visits, a village caught in the crossfire. this is the beginning of a russian conversion ukraine and u. s. president joe biden announced as a 1st wave of sanctions against russia, more countries joining,

condemning moscow's recognition of separate estates in ukraine. ah, i bid fizzle and welcome ukraine has urged its citizens in russia to leave immediately. it says russian aggression is increasing and so to the threat of invasion after moscow's recognition of to break away regions as independent states . and other developments ukraine is preparing a month long state of emergency, according to its top security official. the ukrainian parliament is approved a draft law allowing all ukrainians to carry firearms and act in self defense. and kia is calling up some reservists for military duty. meanwhile, fighting in ukraine, the east has intensified a corresponded mathias building a fall. this report from a village close to the line between ukrainian and separatist held territory. it is

quiet at the moment a good time to leave for days. now the people in the village of rubica have been under fire. the villages in ukrainian government control territory and is being shared by separatists from the other side. not severely dish or deliberately and then on the whole night is that some people are still in the cellar too scared to come out. did the kids spent the whole day yesterday downstairs but at night we went upstairs, but none of them it was too cold. downstairs a seller is a seller, but those people half of the village has already left the others are terrified. shells of come down, right in the center of the village. one shall hit the school yard while children were in clos, others have damaged people's homes. luckily no one has been heard so far, but the constant stress has taken its toll. electricity and gas have been cut off. now gas workers have come to patch up some of the damage or they went. we fixed the

pipe twice already. we came last week yesterday and today we're here again, all because quite far away from the artillery positions of the other side. there are 15 kilometers between here and the front line, which is just the range of this artillery that they are using. people who have not experienced this kind of fighting, even during the worst times a few years ago. lena micro encore and her neighbors have tried to make the most out of the cold and damp cellar. but the effect of the electric heater is limited. she is in and out of the basement constantly those days. but i need to go up now to take some stuff to my daughters place. she is finally leaving with her kids at

least to a place nearby. she would like her to move further away until it becomes clear with the latest news from moscow. include me. no, i don't know what to think now. yes. i do not yet understand anything. i don't even know what to do next to takes just a few minutes and the shelling begins again. 12 key of correspondent nick connelly. nick if you claims cold on his citizens in neighboring russia to leave immediately, is a full russian invasion imminent. while definitely things getting more nervous here,

we've heard reserve. it's being called upon to to basically you can come to their own military units and report for duty. there is discussion here and key of all civilians being evacuated from places just like the village. we saw that report places that are just to close the front lines to guarantee civilian safety, increasing limitations on what people can do at night, or in terms of filming near that front line. basically, the government here for the 1st time, really suggesting that this could turn into a hot wall to this crisis, we'd heard from ukraine's leaders that they didn't think this would be anything beyond kind of fostering beyond brinkmann ship on the part of vladimir putin by think that announcement, in the past few days that russia recognize no separatists regions, not only where they are now, but their claim to the full entirety of the donating the hunts regions. that really has changed thinking here and give what is happening along that line. the contact and eastern ukraine by government and separate his forces a clashing well, as you saw in the report,

people are often without heating. they might still have electricity, thousands of others, all without water because shelling has destroyed critical infrastructure will to people who thought that they'd kind of made that piece with living next or was owned because it was somehow manageable. they knew the rules, the game most the time shelling was at night and immediately along that front line, but even 10 kilometers behind that frontline people felt more or less safe. they thought that the worst they'd seen in 20142015 that was over. but now a sense among lot civilians that this is even potentially going to be worse for them than what they have already seen. unless people deciding whether it's now time to pack their bags and go ok has not mobilizing its entire military, but it is calling up reservists. what's the reaction to that? i think these are all people who have for before who have military experience. i think it doesn't have the same psychological effect as if they were calling up the whole male population above the age of 18. that something that ukraine's coming very worried about doing that could cause panic. that people don't have an image preparation might try and get out of that my try and leave that,

that really would see people scampering to the soup markets. panic, buying really a sense that catastrophe is imminent. so this is still a few steps back up. definitely a change and incremental change in what ukraine's government is sickening to its people. we've had volume zalinski christ present, talking to cranes again last night. i'm seemingly now aware that he needs to give a more concise and more clear if mation to population animal regular basis. he came in for a lot of criticism for having not really spoken directly to ukrainians in recent weeks, preferring states, given, used to western press, and lots of mixed messages coming out of the government here in caves or desire. now, an attempt to try and keep people in the loop and try and prevent panic. and what about the attempt to resolve this diplomatically, as far as give, sees this? well, it's very hard to see where the mileage is for any talks, even just last weekend. if you can remember a buzz back as far as that given everything, it's happened since then we had the amount on my call trying to organize some kind of grant summit between biden and putin may be with him as the mediator talks

schedule between foreign ministers and all of that is now over a secretary state essex in lincoln and also the french side saying that there's basing nothing's talk about since the french excuse me, since the russians have recognized their separatist regions. and a sense that basically right now, as long as ukraine is not going to give much way, isn't going to kind of capitulate as they would sit here and keep on its sovereignty. there's basically nothing to talk about with russia given that russia is, is, you know, seemingly intent on pushing through it, sir. demands on the full front of issues. d, w, isn't connelly in p. f. as we heard, russia appears to be continuing its military build up along you clangs borders, images for a u. s. satellite company kind. so an enlarged base in southern bella roost just a few 100 kilometers from the ukrainian capital t f. u. s. president biden says, russia's invasion of ukraine has already begun russian troops on the move, the heading towards ukraine's eastern border as fighting between ukrainian and

separatist forces continues. far away from the frontline, the upper house of the russian parliament voted to authorize the use of force outside russia's borders. they also approved vladimir putin's recognition of the don yeske and lou henson people's republics as independent states. but the russian president didn't stop there. he later announced the borders of the 2 republics, include the ukrainian held territories, not just the rebel held areas, nor was it but his nell. we recognized that jeanette's and hans people's republics, which means we have recognized all the founding documents, including the constitution. and the constitution defines the boarders off the don yeske and hands regions at the time when they were part of ukraine. nobody mc again, you will have the federal credit. in response,

u. s. president joe biden accused the russian leda of setting up a russian now to take more territory by force. this is the beginning of a russian invasion of ukraine as he indicated and asked permission to be able to do from his duma. so let began to so i'm going to began to impose sanctions a response. far beyond the steps we and our allies and partners implemented in 2014 the us satellite company has released new images that claim to show military vehicles messing in southern belarus. even as western nations coordinate a unified response, many fear a full scale attack on ukraine is still part of russia's plans. o rush affairs analysts constantine exit, joins us from lithuania. vladimir putin has recognized all of don't get scanned once as independent, but ukrainian troops hold 2 thirds of that territory. what does that me

to explain the means? yes. then he said that i should expect skia to settle the old standing issues with the government school. both of these newly recognized entities on top of it, the zalinski government has to recognize that crimea is washing. it has to publicly state that it cancels on old plans to join native probably that will mean and put in the parlance amending the training constitution to include neutrality loss. and finally, something that sounds to me straight out of you know, the better side street here. 1980 d minutes or what that would mean. i don't know, probably ukraine should symbolically show that it's not going to strengthen its armed forces. for example, council,

it's contract with the u. k for procurement up to more than destroyers, something like that. and if thesis fulfilled then extensively that will mean peace from russia maybe. but as zelinski probably is not going to do it, probably 100 percent is not going to do as we've seen. and, and the commonly report then, it means only one thing that eventually puts in a will say that the newly recognized states need to have their full territory or the control. and that means we'll have a real competition real battle, which is roughly ukrainian force is very, very much possible to me. now at least the logic of this shows me that, but it doesn't get any of that. where, where does that leave him in the kremlin? i mean, he still, or he says he still wants a diplomatic solution. well, what he said today, which is ironically defender's father learned in russia what he said,

she said, we are open to diplomatic solution and talks. well, essentially i think, i think in such circumstances, that means you do as you do as we say, and then we'll accept it. because as we've seen, neither joe biden nor my manual microphone of blinking really wants to talk to moscow anymore. so i suppose that essentially this is just, this is just workplace, and frankly put in, we'll have to take a decision, what he's doing next. because the logic, as i said, pushes him towards basically coming to the age, quote unquote of these newly recognized and helping them secure the territory of the territory. that like now all side of moscow's control is actually 2 thirds of these lists of these regions. and is put in goes for there. that also will basically be the beginning of probably him going even further to build the land

bridge between the russian territory and the crime in peninsula which is now complete nationally from russia, apart from one secret constantine. many thanks for the analysis. and general rio terrace joins as from sonia, he was a commander in the stone in defense forces. now a member of the european parliament. do you expect the russian president to launch a full scale invasion of ukraine? i think it is still very much supposed to believe we're listening to his speech show the day before yesterday. then it was the was the ration even though the end didn't come to it, but that's all you all. how you great. he's not the state. i think he showed that you gave is to change the government in key of by just operating on it's going don't bus. he will not reach the age of changing the government to a government which is more suitable for recognizing, pointing as,

as superior. now the ukrainian military is issued and ordered to call up reservists from a military standpoint. can you claim, withstand a russian offensive anyway, russia has never in the, in the last decades. even in the 2nd world war phase. and an army b b as the ukranian. and the little thing, the 1939 has shown that you can fight with with a b s. so i think your green army and your graham state is very much ready to fight for the, for the values, democratic values, and fight for the defense. i have seen back in the always of the soldiers in the, in the you graham, demarkation. a couple of days ago they want,

they are ready to fight for their country. do you see a military option or is diplomacy the only way out of this? i don't think who didn't understand diplomacy because every attempt to reach the door. he has not taken the peaceful hand, so i don't think once that the logic ocean if of course, if you will do that, then it is very well did the day he has to withdraw from the next room on square. he saw right now and give back here. then you can give back cream source. you tweeted yesterday, the bold steps needed to put to lose no potent in his place. what other steps? therefore from the, from the majors perspective, i would say they do has been showing it's very,

very big unity. they are very focused and they does never being stronger right now. and that the cost would be a year european union as a function noise, just about to put function on russian, russian. and again, barry wice unified, even though people who are countries will not support the sanction they are so very strong sanctions. and even germany has at least the current moment nursing to so these, all these, all grade needs to financial and military help you. i mean, mission and stocks border and on that front us, president biden, announce yesterday he would, would be sending more troops to the baltic states including stony,

where you are to both the nato's eastern flag. how's that going to help? well made toys determined to defend they just their address is the last name of our forces are ready to defend the territories and the natives each the border are law is not the only us, but france and germany, denmark and others are sending additional troops to the region, understanding the fight for democratic values for these already. so just to show strengths is the only way of understand only language was that they are terrorist, former commander of the estonian defense forces. thank you very much for being on the show today. thank you very much. relations between ukraine and russia are at their lowest point in years. keith is recalled, it's ambassador from moscow,

and is considering ending all diplomatic ties. it wasn't all that long ago. the ukraine had a pro russian president. 8 years ago. vladimir putin had a friend in tea at president victor yang coverage. having pro russia president was very important for ashate man, that's one of the forms installed. it meant that any union but the west would not be possible. and in 2013, when young coach refused to sign an association agreement for closer ties to the you, the people rebelled. scores died, hundreds were injured in the might on revolution. jacobi was ousted and a new pro e government formed the kremlin, answered back with tanks and annexed ukraine's crimean peninsula. moscow also through its support behind separatists in the pro russia don bass

region war broke out as the 2 eastern provinces don yeske and nuanced declared independence. european leaders brought the 2 sites together for the men's peace accords. but the war ground to a stalemate, a development far from the battlefield, also spiked tensions. and june 2015. russia announced the north stream to gasp pipeline. its route under the baltic c would bypass ukraine, meaning kiev would lose billions in transit fees. another turning point in 2019 with bottom year zalinski as ukraine's president. he vowed to restore the don bath region and renewed calls for nato membership. e. barclay, the many leaders hints slightly that ukraine shouldn't take the risk of talking constantly about membership with the alliance. because this risk is connect you to

russia's reaction amongst them, but that was a red line for moscow, which it will on nuclear, new to no one thought that if you crane created such threats for russia, we create similar threats for herself. what are the 8th of sure, robert also concluded it was one of pollutants justification for the russian troop filled up around ukraine's borders. but unlike 8 years ago, ukraine is a battle hardened nation that's vowed to resist. o, germany's foreign minister, alina babel has been addressing the russian moves against ukraine, is some of what she had to say. there was a ship president, the russian president is trying to turn back the wheel of history, an eastern ukraine at the expense of his neighbors. met with power, with military force, with absolute contempt for everything that defines the legal and peaceful order in europe. in over us and not least with indifference towards the fate of the people

affected on both sides. debit hoffman and mention of biden zyden, germany still diplomat. and now our chief political correspondent, belinda crane. what do you make of what the foreign minister said? well, she was meeting with her french colleague, foreign minister lit leon, and both of them were at great pains to put on a very resolute display of unity. and after that statement, she went on to essentially lay out the goals of the sanctions that were imposed by the you yesterday. and which include the momentous decision by germany to defer certification of the nord stream to gas pipeline from russia, which will impose pain in russia, but also some real economic hardship for germany as well. so is she said, the goal is not simply to deter russia from further escalation. yes, that's important. but beyond that,

it is to reinforce important norms of international law like territorial integrity . and she went on to say, and i quote, we are ready to pay a high price for a free and sovereign ukraine. and you know, sometimes so the norm of territorial integrity can sound like an abstraction. but let's listen to chancellor, olaf schultz of germany. explain what would happen in europe if we simply sweep aside norms and roles that have been places since the 2nd world war. then do your sister long and not good, not. so if you look back far enough in history, you will find many borders that were different. back then you said that if we reopen discussion on all of them, we will face very troubled times. that is why we must urgently return to this principle. state sovereignty is respected borders are not violated. what putin in his parliament have decided is a breach of international law that we cannot and will not accept. so what role is

chancellor shelters government playing in addressing the prices? well and not only foreign minister bare bach, but also her french. a colleague both said very clearly that these sanctions are simply a 1st stage. both are aware that there could be further escalation measures by germany, by russia, and that they would, by no means necessarily only be in the form of a full invasion, but could take other forms as well. for example, a cyber attack. and yet the foreign minister, the german foreign minister and chancellor shelters government as a whole, has been very clear that diplomatic outreach remains a necessity. and she said, but the fact is that we have said to russia, come back to the table. we do not accept that they have simply thrown out the process of talks called the normandy format,

that they have ripped to shreds the minsk agreement that was supposed to try to find a solution to stabilize eastern ukraine. and nonetheless, we say we are ready to talk and then she said in english, we said to russia, you need to come back to the table. it made any difference if he should sit in russia. belinda crane. thank you very much for the analysis. hey look now is some other stories making use around the world? more than 60 people are dead after an explosion at a market in the west african nation of booking a fast. so the blast was so powerful. it brought down the by hopes investigated suspect that happened in a store selling explosives and chemicals the miners, and have detained the owner. the lawyer for you get an author quin, so get a sheba. says he's arrived in germany. right. it says he was tortured, wasn't custody, was charged with insulting uganda president and the president son. the case has raised international concern. one person is dying of the heavy rain caused flash
