resistance. but military analysts warned that russian forces are increasingly shelling civilian areas in the northeastern city of luma. the 1st successful humanitarian corridor desperate ukrainians managed to flee during a pause in the fighting. while further west, hundreds more. flea the keep city of ethan crossing a damaged bridge that russian troops have repeatedly fired on as civilians tried to get across. but even as some managed to escape during the seas file, air raid sirens, sound and keys wanting people to stay indoors. thousands face, another long night sheltering in caves, metro stations finding what safety they can on the ground. well, it's been 2 weeks since russia began its invasion of ukraine. the capital key is now on the seas, and people from the shell suburbs are pouring into the city he

w. nick connelly is there and sent us this update. came to the city expectation of something worse. and now he hasn't seen the kind of destruction america over and hockey cities have had extensive bombing where civilians have died in their homes where government buildings been attacked for now. most of the fighting has been in the suburbs. base like you to be. i think most people in europe at least have seen those pictures in recent days, the bridge destroyed people losing their lives, civilians losing their lives on the, on their way out, trying to get out with their families with their suit cases here in the center though, there hasn't been that much destruction yet. the green and across france are still working to some extent, the government governments quote, incentive isn't locked down. and also the nervousness of 2 of those attempts to, to kill your grandson elected president lensky. there's a big fear of strangers. a worry about rush sleeper agents and that just sense that

people are constantly on edge. they know i said, states has rejected an offer by poland to give the us if fate of make 29 find to chance to be transferred to ukraine. keith has been calling for the soviet era jets that is pilots know how to fly, to help it fight rushes and vision. these are the warplanes warsaw wanted to put at washington's disposal. he has been calling on countries to provide them with the russian made jets that its pilots are already trained to fly. poland pro, sending its plains to the u. s. is ramstein abbeys in western germany from whether u. s. could send them on to ukraine. tactful vas no this is it such a serious decision like handling of the planes must be unanimous and taken unequivocally by all of the north atlantic alliance. just so we part. this is why we have taken such a decision. and today, the decisions and nato's hands in the hands of the americans over and got an odd dollars of an anchor american. in return, poland was expected to receive american made f. 16 fighters an idea floated by

washington earlier in the month. but the pentagon categorically rejected the plan we believe the provision of additional fighter aircraft provides little increased capabilities at high risk intelligence community has assess the transfer of mig 29th to ukraine, may be mistaken as escalate tori and could result in significant russian reaction that might increase the prospects of a military escalation with nato speaking. after talks from the war with canadas prime minister justin trudeau, german chancellor. earl of schultz, was quick to rule out the idea as well. yeah, we need to have a life. we've provided humanitarian assistance. we've also provided all kinds of equipment which includes some weapons as you know. apart from that however, we have to think very carefully about what we actually do. and this certainly does not include combat aircraft on c. hillis kindly, comfortable with poland,

unwilling to act unilaterally. and washington opposed, it seems unlikely that these jets will be joining the fight in the skies over ukraine. any time soon? of the wireless, i'm joined by d. w. all of a solid in washington, d. c. so oliver u. s. secretary of state anthony blinkin has said that he will consult with poland and nato allies on the potential of providing chats to ukraine. so is it that the united states isn't entirely closing the door on this idea? if the door is open, right, hello for sure. and there is the political will, of course, to deliver those jets thought it remains a tricky task and it's a fine line. they are work, they are walking on right now. so poland says, yes, ukraine can have those mixed. those russian made fighter jets. but they certainly don't want to be held accountable for mingling in the war between russia and ukraine. so their offer was to bring those fighter jets to you as air force base ramstein on german soil, which again would then imply to other nato members. so the u. s. of course saying

no, we're not interested in that either. so it's some kind of a blame game that's going on. nobody wants to be the scapegoat in the end, and nobody wants to be drawn into a wider conflict. and so that is really the challenge here, how to deliver those aircraft without being drawn into a wider war. and of course, also without involving nato. and as you say, the opponent didn't discuss this author with united states before it was made public. so what position does this leave washington in now? it certainly took washington by surprise, especially since secretary of state anthony blink and just was in poland a few days ago. and that wasn't discussed to that extent. another aspect that we're hearing very often right now is that actually, and we've, we've heard it in the sound. but in the report though, surface to air missiles that are delivered to ukraine, that they could be more important in the future. and already are more important than aircraft because the air space over ukraine, from a washington standpoint, is

a very dangerous because of the russian presence. their ukraine reportedly still has most of their fleet because they can't use it simply, but they're very successful shooting down russian jets. and so that might be a bless, risky and more successful way forward. and what does this tell us about the direction the western alliance is coming in or arguably, the west has come together as unified as they hadn't, hadn't been in many years and had reportedly took, put him by surprise. so the question of polish fighter jets, of course, is seen much more as a logistic detail. don't forget we're not talking about if those jets are delivered, but rather how to deliver them. and so it really still shows no, no difference in how the west is standing together and that you and vice president come alive, harris will be meeting ponens, president in warsaw. what are we to expect from that meeting? certainly a show of unity that will be on display there to deter russia. poland is very

concerned about the russian aggression there. sure. and just to remind you, they share a border with bella rules where russian troops are amassed and has turned into some kind of a puppet regime of, of mos call vladimir putin, the russian president. and so reassurance will be certainly one part of the mission . there. also, the u. s. will have to walk on on this very fine line. once again. the saying yes to arms delivery to support of the eastern nato members, but no to a no flies on and also no to a delivery of those. a polish fighter jets to ukraine via us air base. so they will be looking for solutions for those challenges. again with the goal to be avoiding, being drawn into a wider conflict here to japanese honor the salus in washington, d. c. thank you, oliver. or his look at some of the other developments in the conflict. russian foreign minister, sir gala ross and his ukrainian counterpart dimitra cool. ever a do to meet in turkey for their 1st face to face talked since the invasion of

ukraine. both sides have want of low expectations, but ukraine's president has signaled a willingness to compromise. ukrainian authority, say electricity has been cut off at the chernobyl nuclear power plant, which means it may no longer be possible to cool nuclear fuel. they warned that this could lead to the release of radioactivity, but the international atomic energy agency says that it hasn't seen any evidence that the plant is unsafe. brazilian military plane has left poland with around 80 passengers evacuated from ukraine, including 42 brazilians and 20 ukrainians. the aircraft also brought humanitarian aid, including food and medicine for people in ukraine. was so far more than 2000000 people have fled to the fighting in ukraine. authorities in berlin say more than

an applicant stem. the government is working on a plan to coordinate the distribution of refugees. but all of germany states have pledged to take people in or near. as i said to so it is possible, i just want to say thank you to germany for helping us in this situation. the 1st of all, i can now, and i will try to help the country in any way i can is presumably so it will take time to settle refugees across germany until then berlin will have to continue rolling out the help for new arrivals or has a recap of the main story from the crisis. the children's hospital has been destroyed by an air strike and the ukrainians that you have maria poll. at least 17 people were wounded of last crater. 2 stories deep could be seen outside the hospital and the ground shook more than a mile away. the cranes president accuses russia of bombing the hospital and is called it a war crime. it watching the w nice life from communion sick
