and, and the have also been air raids, but basically these areas have been less targeted and the city here and leaf is operating normally shops, not all shops are open, of course, but like basic necessities. you can buy stuff in the stores and, and public transport is running under the telephone. internet's electricity. everything. there is, of course, some pressure on the people here as well. people have also enlisted for, for, for, for the army. there is a curfew. people cannot be out on the street in the evenings. there's also a, it's also forbidden to sell. alcoa, for example, in the streets of normal life has been affected, but it's not what we are seeing from the eastern and southern part of the country. thank you for that mrs. which is a bully in levine, in weston ukraine. all ukraine's or president vladimir zalinski is scheduled to make a live video address to people are processing against the war. and this week is already

spoken to the european of parliament, appealing for immediate to you membership. so let's i hear from d. w reporter, a conscious exxon at sac santa who's in frankfort city center, where people are waiting to hear that address a welcome. so i'm just explain to us what's going on and what the mood there is like. yet hundreds of people have gathered behind needs friday evening, and ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is expected to shortly make a speech behind me. you can see there is a screen and he is expected to make a simultaneously simultaneous speak. speech which goes out to a different european cities, including leon, including bratislava and frog, and other european city than he's expected to make that impassioned speech to gather support from the europeans of, for his people, for his country. as

a russia continues to have that unprecedented of war in that country. as you said earlier, earlier this week, he spoke at the european parliament and made a very emotional speech where he tried to galvanized support are to get support. oh, alford, for oh, the country's a fast track. got a membership into the blog, into the european union. and he is expected to see us on summit on similar lines is expected a dog or shortly from now. i and a lot of people yard behind me have gathered to listen to him. there are people from a euclid as well. there are people from germany. they have gathered yard in solidarity with the people of ukraine. ok, thank you for that data. me, reporter, conscious oksana and frankfort are nato secretary general. yes, dalton vogue has rejected you crimes cool for a no fly zone over the country. speaking after meeting of alliance,

foreign minister, she said, such a move would rest, direct conflict between his organisation and russia, possibly sparking on all out war across europe. he went on to say that nature was ready to defend member states, which did not include you cry. we have all the to strengthen our turns on the fence, a lan in the air and at sea allies from north america. europe have sent thousands more troops to the east and part of the alliance. we are deploying the nato response force for the 1st time and we have over a 130 yet at high alert and over 200 ships from the high north to the mediterranean. we will continue to do what it takes to protect them, defend every inch of natal tales story, nate toys at the fence of alarms. our court paused, is to keep our 30 nations safe. we are not part of

this conflict and we have a responsibility to ensure it thus not escalate and spread beyond ukraine. because not would be even more devastating and more dangerous. with even more human suffering, nato is not seeking a war with russia. let's get more on that meeting from t w correspondent, attorney schultz is at nato headquarters in brussels. welcome at terry. so what, what else did the nato secretary general have to stay? well, while i was listening to the secretary general, i was actually thinking about how this monologue would be heard in cave and in the other ukrainian cities where people are pleading day after day for nato to enforce a no fly zone. and the secretary general made clear as he has on previous occasions that this is just not going to happen. that in fact,

no nato ally has an appetite to be engaged in a war with russia, which is what would happen if it needed to enforce a no fly zone to close the air space over ukraine. and he said, in fact, not just that, that this would engage nato allies with russia, but that it would not make it safer for ukraine that this would not help ukraine in its self defense. so if, if i were the ukrainians, i would not be taking any solace from, from what we're hearing out of nato headquarters today. and that's actually what i was thinking as i was into the secretary general that nato territory will be defended. but there's very little that it's willing to do at this point to help ukraine as an alliance of 30 nations. as you say, you crave, has repeatedly accused the west of having blood on its hands. if it stands by and watches this invasion, talk us through our individual data member countries. however, our data with us, that's the only way that countries have been willing to help you. crane on a bilateral basis. and i mean, this has been going on for years. the united states has been helping train

ukrainian. the ukranian military nato itself has been, has had trust. funds has had to help, has tried to help you, crane improve its military infrastructure. and you've seen countries send bilateral assistance now, but to simply the ukrainian say it isn't enough. and if you think about the fact that you can't fly in supplies resupply is a huge problem. perhaps some of the military equipment that they had, it now has been either damaged or destroyed. and there are very few ways that you can get anything new, any resupply, even if it's committed to the ukrainians. it's, i mean the, basically, the only way you can do this is, is by land now through poland and certainly that is happening along with humanitarian aid. but the ukrainians are saying it's simply not enough. and that's also what we're hearing in an intelligence briefing that i, that i just received from a senior western intelligence official. they're very worried about the resupply. the ukrainians are fighting back more better than anyone anticipated. but simply,

at some point, their supplies are going to run out, right. the fear of course, is that russia will not stop to ukraine. how seriously is making those concerns? that is a serious concern, and it's being taken ever more seriously as though we saw the french president a manual hon speak with putin yesterday and come out of that conversation saying he is not willing to pull. but to pull back his troops and things are going to get much worse. and so now we're also hearing that officials are taking more seriously putin's threats to, to expand, to, to retake more as a space that was part of the soviet union. you're looking at countries like moldova, georgia, where you already have russian troops stationed in small areas like they were helping in eastern ukraine and those rebel held territories. and there is real concern in moldova, for example, that russia may try to come in and meet up with those troops, a couple of 1000 of them, they're stationed currently in moldova. and so, yes,

they are taking that very seriously as a, there seems to be nothing that is going to deter, uh, vladimir putin. i'm thank you for that to terry d. w correspondent, attorney schultz at nato headquarters. so what his daily life like in ukraine, when the bombs and missiles afford well, donald flatters, are us citizen, a new crime. he joins us on the line from the city. harrison in the south of the country, which is not said to be under russian control. a welcome to d w. donald, how are you i looks like with los i are you. you've had donald flat. ah, it looks like we're, it's last utsa lives. it eyes lead cert, move on. apologies for that. the past week, her see no german chancellor alive sholtes overturned several major longstanding

policies. he suspended the north stream to gas pipeline, boosted the military budget. a st weapons to ukraine, for there is a step, is not prepared to take sending troops to fight, as he made clear on a visit to a military base near berlin. war raging in europe and german troops sent to defend nato's borders. they were gone. i'm either through grammar over all our shorts. we had expected that his 1st visit to army command would come under different circumstances. the pre planned meeting was dominated by roches attack on ukraine and fears of an escalation. afterwards, the german chancellor appealed for cam. as his guns, victor does fear, it is very important that we keep a cool head that we are very clear and decisive and remain cautious. that is our task, that there is no expansion of this conflict beyond ukraine. uber deal craner now skipped shorts. again,

ruled out sending forces to ukraine's defense as the strong village club. it is absolutely clear to us that there will be no neat or military involvement in this conflict. gibbon that d w is nina has or was there now the new demons, chancellor also reiterated again that nater will not engage directly in putin's war against ukraine, and that germany is still working towards finding political and diplomatic solutions for this war. but it seems that germany has also now understood that there is also no way around effective military deterrents. the week began with shultz, breaking with decades of german foreign policy, announcing our 100000000000 euro package to upgrade the army, and the delivery of weapons to ukraine. no flag. i were interrupting that report. we're going to, i hear now from ukraine in present, of vladimir as the lensky addressing anti war demonstrators wishing each other good

health alan nation, though no doubt sally badly said see me when i'm a young brain. nick, he'll give you food, human law, this share or graham of either thought, mina bomb or suddenly v vulgar a he brought in or a b gotten actually see me. but from recently this, a soldier greasing this army greeting is something that ordinary people starting to use in their day to day language when greeting each other. because we are protecting our country from russian invasion from the russian attack. we're protecting our homes and our land from the full fledged and out bow a russian war and russian aggression when you me this call is c
