6:02 pm
electricity and is running low on food. it's crossed now to our corresponding economy, who's in the capital, keith nick? good evening to you. let's start with the situation in my a poll where the cease fire has been broken yet again. what can you tell us? was increasingly desperate situation there for hundreds of thousands of people. this is a big city that is now surrounded from the north, from the east, from the west, and the see the south. well, there's no, you can't help coming there. and there are russian forces in that see of as of so this is desperate. this was always kind of clear from a ukraine, would you that this would be the key city in that part of the country in the dumbass that this was a key ukrainian base, very close to those self proclaimed separatist areas and crucial for ukrainian morale that it be kept now with this is the 2nd attempt to try an organized circle to monitoring corridor. get people out while the shelling stops and again list the ukrainian side says this is down to russian shelling not allowing this to happen.
6:03 pm
this is a very old fashioned conflict. this is not a 21st century war in terms of technology being used. these are shells. these are, you are to re, most of it inherited from the 1950. $6070.00 is. it's very difficult to actually on the ground tell who shot 1st. this been from all through the 8 year conflict in don bass. but it does elise from the ukrainian point of view. seem clear that it's the russians who are responsible for this. and they would say that actually it's in russia's interest to stoke this humanitarian situation, because that will put pressure on ukraine's democratic, elected president william zalinski to make some kind of concessions. the russians they say, have already factored in this reputation. damage to them, this damage to civilian populations. these am difficulties in these sufferings they're going through. so that is that, is that the, the connotation here? just as i'm here give i could just hear a bang, the distance of we've been hearing those all day. those seem to be anti aircraft systems are basically catching and destroying incoming rockets. so this is situation that is very, very tense. wherever you are in the country where i,
6:04 pm
let's pick up on vaudeville set. so it seems that ukraine still has some air defense capabilities. you're back in cave, in the western part of the country. what are things like where you are keith has yet to see the kind of destruction that had killed the 2nd biggest city that is close. the russian border has where you've had lots and lots of residential buildings destroyed. am extraordinary damage to the city center into government buildings there. and it almost near blockade. there are still some roots into hot give here in case it's more about tension, about anticipation of what's coming next. we've seen plenty of russian secret agents who i will decrease. they are that were ready in place in advance of this conflict. to then emerge on the streets with weapons and tried to attack police and other forces. we've seen a reports of attempts to take presents. lensky life, several. and now there is fighting about 25 kilometers away from where i am now. in the western suburbs of cave, where you see people left also without power,
6:05 pm
without water trying desperately get away and convoys of sooty is trying to get out being shot at. so this is a conflict that is very close. that is basically on the streets k of now keep a capital of country that has been at war since 2014. but this is really the 1st time that conflict is now palpable. here in the center of ukraine's capital, you're describing as an incredible layer of events happening there. and in response, over the recent days, we've seen some also incredible pictures of men queuing up to volunteer for the ukranian army, hoping to slow russia's advance. so if you're connect and stay with us for a 2nd, nick, we want to have a look at a report about what's driving. some of those volunteers will come back in a 2nd. these men are determined to fight for their country, even in the face of russian firepower, and without support from nato. here and keep their waiting to sign up. the ukraine armed forces resolved to do their part for the war effort. not to
6:06 pm
me. a war is the case which hits my duty level. i won't be useful if i want to help you. i want to protect. i want to fight back unless i want my family to return to ukraine as soon as possible, and i will do my best. other volunteers stalking up for the battle ahead and optimistic about victory. we know why we defined our country and our guys that are actually standing there and fighting. ah, russian military force as they know what they are doing. those guys, they don't, we know what we are doing and that's why we'll, when it's that determination that's helped inspire volunteers from much further afield to join the fight and creating mimic tree. so let's be here for english, just very frustrating barbie, even though the country surround and what he's just law, isiah galvan was very important about no illusions on a romantic ideas of war. old, i'm going to be some hero will make a difference or any of these spots is water. if you could die,
6:07 pm
yes, because really going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city, the a pin. just outside keep. it looks likely to volunteer his bravery will soon be put to the test to some amazing comments there from some of the people interviewed nick, how important are these volunteers for the war effort and the ukranian army overseas? it shows that the ukraine army has depth and that it is able to put more force on the ground than what is currently being used at present. i think it was about morales versus the foreign volunteers assigned to ukraine, that ukraine is not being left alone with this, even though ukraine is outside of nato, even though you as present joe biden has with he said that the u. s. is not going to get directly involved on ukraine side against russia. i think the thing that ukraine really needs now though, all weapons are ammunitions. this is a key good demand from ukraine, ukraine saying to western countries where democracy here we have
6:08 pm
a democratically elected government. and russia invaded us in the was claiming that it was still open in negotiations and is basically demanding regime change here in ukraine at its own terms. so ukraine desperate to get more in the way of supplies and particularly anti aircraft missiles may be more planes. we heard the plan may be for a kind of swap that poland would send for soviet built planes, fighter jets that the ukranian pilots are able to fly. and in return the u. s. would restart poland with american built plains for now that doesn't seem to be happening too soon, but they're really saying if you're not going to close the skies above ukraine, we are really hurting hard civilians are dying in ever greater numbers and his situation where the russian army is actually doing pretty badly in hand to handle kind of ground fighting. it's the crating forces. it really does the sense here that rush is going up, the ante in the sky, where it has that advantage and without support in terms of anti aircraft facilities and planes. ukraine really could be left, you know,
6:09 pm
to bleed hair and is going to struggle to stand up for it. statehood if, if, if that was the help fells come in. connelly their force and keep is always great to see you. and thanks for the report and you just heard from nick as russia continues to assault on ukrainian nighted states has indicated it's looking for ways that poland can supply fighter jets to ukraine, us secretary of state antony blank and said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland, to replenish its own stock of russian made jets. if warsaw decides to send those to ukraine. pilots in the ukrainian air force are already trained to fly the russian aircraft. lincoln made comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbour, moldova. we're, we're looking actively now. at the question of aeroplanes, the poland they provide to ukraine and looking at how we might be able to back fill, should pull and decide to produce those to supply those plans. get more in this
6:10 pm
development from journalist young paul caught, he's in warsaw. yon, thanks for joining us. what is weighing on the polish government in making this decision? what it looks like on one hand, the polar side really would like to send it. and we have indicators that it was kind of promised on certain level as if the ukrainians know how to use these make 29 and airplanes. but at least i think thinking twice the polar side, realized that sending pi digits is a different story than just sending equipment military equipment on the ground and place it somewhere on the board and somebody else is picking it up. if you send jets, then you have to start from a polish airport and you have to go into the war zone and just days ago. and also was also correcting ukrainian claims and statements that they would not only receive these jets, but also be allowed to operate 8 from polish airports. this was costly and clearly
6:11 pm
denied as being fake news. right, is there a risk then that this could be seen by putin as nato getting itself involved in the war and trigger an escalation? yeah, i think so. pulled has been urging more help it all the time. also more or less a military equipment. but they seem to look very closely where's the red line to get too much in wolf into the war and days ago already polish president angie duda said that sending jeff would mean it that direct interference kind of entry into the war at the beginning of the war between a natural member and russia, and he emphasized that poland and now 2 is not party in this conflict, at least in the military sense. so that's one side of poland, involvement in this conflict. the other is refugees. can you tell us more about poland, current assistance to those coming over it's border he,
6:12 pm
i would say there is a complete turnaround from polish position and to the bill. arrest crisis we've seen last year, which is actually a little bit continuing here with migrants being sent back at the time. now, this was not so much a difference and to the extent of people's willingness to have. we've seen this on the bill or us side as well and adapt it now the whole country has turned and the borders are widely open right now. also for people of different color and origin will also are sometimes here occur on the ukrainian a polish border. so. busy what we see is that poland is receiving more people in a few days than germany over the whole period during the 2015 crisis. and as far as i can see, they are not asking for help. and foreign minister ro, recently was asked whether they would ask for relocation or other assistance from other european countries, but he just did not answer to that. and i can, i cannot hear anything like this. all right,
6:13 pm
