trying to curb the russian actions or prudence actions right now, even in with limited tools of sanctions and so on. and it is quite impressive and noted as such by many here that miss bare bark did. basically the same thing aligned or outlined the same thing. all of all of shawls, their german chancellor did that germany had to change positions it bring itself back to a to a europe or to western world. or that is not afraid of confronting an aggressor with, for example, military help sending weapons german weapons to the ukraine. or, you know, possibly do other countries, but in this case you're crane. so not quite impressive and quite take a note off by a observers and officials in the united states. they doubly stiffened. siemens, thanks so much. the united nation says more than

660000 people have now fled ye cried since the invasion began with the majority crossing over into poland. only occasionally. do you say some ukrainians heading in the other direction? men who were out of harm's way, returning to the fence, they hung lent as the w max and a reports shamika, the train station is no place to stay. those who can keep on going inland and away from the border. not these men, they are heading in the other direction. oh, i'm not risking anything among them. would you meet all jack their mom? how could i live with myself and stay here in a sketch to play? sergei has a wife and 2 daughters and ukraine, leaving his job in poland and returning home to ukraine to fight was not a hard choice for him. not all will. i was just in shock. mow my yard. you not so

which us door more. my family was home, my wife called me when you and i could hear the bombings over the phone says, telephone or your girl. she's got on. the ball approach was he has a bullet proof vest and 2 helmets organized by his friends. i ask him if he thinks they are going to keep him safe. let you know though not with the girl, i am going to put it on and i'm going to shoot russians until i find out my job watching you. tough talk to cope with the situation. sir gays scared, he tells us who would be on the platform. the train to warsaw is expected. any minutes? here we meet katerina. she just arrived from ukraine in my city. i have mother and grandmother and death. that probably can still hear my father trained to defend us well, of prison, proud of him and, and for some reason like most ukrainian men, her father had to stay and fight. the 21 year old is moved by the volunteers

returning to ukraine to join her father's wrecks. i admire their etiquette and courage because said they're going from other countries to our country to defend it's and that's admirable. their time has come together with his comrades. sergei makes his way to the bus. he doesn't know if he will ever come back. but for now, there's only one thing on his mind. defending the homeland from the russian invasion us and european intelligence, say, russia's military did not expect ukraine to put up such a strong resistance. now. military, endless. i. they are worried the sit back and public embarrassment attached to it. my can pill russian president vladimir putin to opt for even deadly emissions de

w. william glue croft picks up that pop the story now. yeah, let's remember that putin deployed nearly 200000 troops to ukraine's borders in the last few months, which means many of them have not actually been committed to combat yet, but we might be seeing signs of that starting to change after light fast attacks around the country appear not to be going quite in rushes favor. now you might have heard, and we've talked about already, this massive russian convoy put together from forces based in bella roof, that's ukraine's northern border. now, satellite imagery shows it is heading towards the capital cave and it's grown in the last couple of days, apparently stretching 65 kilometers made up of hundreds of vehicles. that's tanks, artillery troops transports these kinds of heavy armored heavy mechanize vehicles. now, we don't know exactly how this kind of equipment is going to be used when it's going to reach, keep moving. this amount of armor at once takes

a long time. there's fuel in supplies that need to keep up. and russia, we've been hearing appears to be struggling with those kinds of supply lines. but if we look at the battle lines of where things stand and key right now, they haven't budged much since russian forces 1st started of salting the capital. we see russian forces having pretty much control of the northern parts of the city . there have been of course, been attacks from the air, but ukrainian troops have so far beaten back are held the line just north of the city, the city governments, as it's still in control there. but the russians, as you can see there at the gates of the city, it's unclear for how long ukrainian defenses can hold out. they are heavily out match. and this seems to be the case all around the country were russian ground troops, they've, they've really not broken out much from where they are initial invasion point, started in the north,

in the east and in the south. and this has taken russian military planners a bit by surprise that might sound like good news for ukraine, but do not be fooled, but ukrainian resistance has been impressive, but it is come at a very steep cost. and for all the violence we've seen, russia still has a lot more firepower on the ground and from the air it can deploy. and it looks like it's gearing up to do just that. they w william glucose. they're with the state of the invasion as it stands, i moving on in, in the weeks since the russian invasion began. german foreign policy is undergone a radical transformation, sending weapons to new crime. for example, cancelling the node stream to gas pipeline. the language used by german chancellor, olaf schultz, has also changed together with my colleague, i would like to call on the russian president, mr. to see all combat immediately, to withdraw more troops from ukraine and will to enter into

a dialogue. forget blood shed must stop. vladimir putin is committing crimes on ukraine, was recently as last week. the german chancellor who we just heard from, was being accused of being invisible in the crisis. his name a hassle with more. this is a remarkable, an unprecedented a dizzying turn around. m for the german government in its stands towards russia just a few days ago. a statement like that would have been inconceivable. germany was criticized for a very long time to stay silent on the topic. and they refused to deliver weapons. they stayed out of all the potential sanctions measures when tensions were already rising. and now since russia's invasion, the german government really has done it has performed a $180.00 degree turn on its policy. mo, all have showed the german chancellor calls this putin's war. he says, the blood set must stop and he says there can be no to booze any more. this must be

sanctioned, this must be punished. now of course, this is something our where germany was late and many people still criticized that . but this is also not just the ukraine crisis, is the message here from the german government. this is potentially about defending something much bigger about european values. i was the w political correspondent, naina has of there will dw caroline a chimera. i spoke to robert hobbit, he's germany's vice chancellor who was in washington and asked him whether he believes russia could launch an attack on nato territory. was coming me in mission for i can't imagine that yet. we me all. but at christmas i could never have imagined that ukraine would be dealing with such a massive attack in february. so i thought there could be was, were a wider conflict hunterman on one. you might have had an inkling it could happen. yes, the world. and then in the run up in february it became more and more likely that something would happen. i'm under, but an attack on

a nato country that goes well beyond what i think is likely if i can, about putin would dare to do. thus, is your assigned the house on the hill. we can see the military problems, the russian army is having in ukraine. and then on top of that to start a fight with nato. not that would certainly be a military disaster for russia from inhabit them. russians invasion of ukraine and the west's sanctions against moscow are disrupting supply chains, which are yet to recover from the current of ours. pandemic, ideation and shipping face major logistical problems as do exports from ukraine. the closure of russian aerospace because of the invasion is set to cause massive restrictions on international air, cargo and traffic. cargo flights and passenger aircraft to asia have to take a different route. lufthansa, cargo says that flights from central europe to japan, korea and china may take up to several hours longer and could carry up to 20

percent less freight. this will make flights and freight more expensive. shipping is also feeling the consequences of the war and the sanctions against russia. the world's largest shipping container company, maersk, suspended all container deliveries to and from russia. freight traffic with russia is at a standstill. factories in europe biggest economy, germany are worried about bottlenecks. especially when it comes to raw materials and intermediate products and also possible price increases. german carmakers have around 50 suppliers and manufacturing sites and russia and ukraine as well. it is still too early to predict what impact the war will have. russia and ukraine are among the largest exporters of wheat accounting for about one 3rd of global exports. but these exports are now at risk. and this is hitting poor countries in africa and latin american particular. as the regions are

dependent upon cheap imports of wheat, rushes, vo on ye, crime is also dang felt. in the world of classical music, tough conduct of the lady gift was fired from his post as chief conductor of the munich philharmonic for filing to criticize longtime ally, letting me put across europe. and the u. s. russian artist, with ties to the kremlin, had been put on notice, speak out against person, or have they concerts cancelled. o one of the world's most visionary conductors, and a long time ally of russian president vladimir putin. for years, concert houses in the west looked past conductor. valerie gar gibbs close ties to rushes, authoritarian leader, but after putin ordered the invasion of ukraine, many are finding that impossible and are demanding the conductor distance himself. from putin. new york's carnegie hall cancelled garr gives appearance. so has lascola opera house in milan. in germany,
