the basic facts. we look railing in the fog, we didn't attack ukrainian. however, we just explained to ukraine repeatedly that a situation posed direct the security threat to the russian federation of i. c, scuse girls, or never of also said maternity hospital in that a you pull that was bombed on wednesday, was empty of patients and occupied by far right militia members. just hours later, however rushes ministry defense denied the attack that happened at all claiming it was staged. but with russian efforts to press on, keep continuing to run into heavy resistance. many fear that moscow will increase its indiscriminate, bombardments. we have to look at some of the other developments in the conflict satellites. footage shows a large russian military convoy massed outside. cuba has now dispersed the 64 kilometer column of vehicles. and artillery has moved into the surrounding forests

and villages. shortages of food and fuel apparently hampered the convoys advance into the city. for my german chancellor, gerhard schroeder is reported to be in moscow for talks with vladimir putin on ukraine, according to the website. political shorda is known to be a close friend of the russian president, and there's also a member of the supervisory board for the state owned energy giant ross left the united states says it's no has no intention of offering russia anything new or specific regarding sanctions and talks to reach a nuclear deal with iran. a state department spokesman said an accord with the iran depends on a small number of outstanding issues and urged all parties to resolve them to reach a deal to even you to return to compliance with the gc of your you leaders are meeting. and for cy, france, for a summit on the war in ukraine, the does are also tackling the ease dependence on nach russian natural gas and oil,

as well as defense capabilities. the summit was initially organized before russia invaded ukraine to discuss things like the dish lies asian, the economy, as well as the pandemic. but all issues are now eclipse fight the russian invasion . european commission, president earth lavonne de line, set out the agenda for the summit. at the summit, we will rethink european defense with strong cup abilities. we will rethink energy. we have to get rid of the dependency of russian fossil fuels. and for that we need a massive, massive investment in renewables. and we will also certainly discuss ukraine as part of as our of our european family. we want a free and democratic ukraine with whom we share a common destiny. let's get the latest from versailles and speak to marina strauss

has been following all the latest developments from marina. not all of the leaders have been on board with fast tracking ukraine to become an e member where things stand on that when your leaders arrived here on thursday at this beautiful castle of for size had to do that so that you can see just are behind me, it very clear, very fast that they are not all agree on their ukraine becoming a member of the european union. any time soon, we had the luck, the prime minister saying we should send a strong signal that you should have sent a strong signal to ukraine. in this very difficult situation for ukraine, but we also had many other lead leaders saying, well, it's a difficult situation because it, you remember, it's a very, very long process. and that's what they didn't say. but that's woods expert says that ukraine is not ready for becoming a new member. you have to fulfill

a long list of criteria. and for example, corrupt structures in the country are a hurdle for your crimes to become a member. and it is not very likely that ukraine a will even become a candidate to join the european union anytime soon. so what kind of support is the you going to give ukraine at this moment in time? the years ready giving or has been granting a lot of support to ukraine for example, humanitarian aid also many of course then military training will listen to you itself, but the member states and in the last couple of weeks we've also seen military devices that have been granted to ukraine, but one thing that you ukrainian president village, mr. lansky, always asked that you to, to do and to help ukraine is, sir,

is it is military. it supports troops on the ground. and that's not going to happen because ukraine is not a, an eto member as many member states are. and so in this case, nato, the defense alliance will not interfere there. and in terms of phasing out the dependency on russian oil and natural gas, how do they intend to do this? was a bit similar to the membership issue or set your leaders have a very different or your states have very different opinions, opinions on this issue because you are states are very and some are very dependent in russian gas. some are not, for example, the baltic states ladelly throwing estonia. they want the you to ban russian energy coming russian and she coming from russia. and so to get blood in hootie in the russian president on the negotiation table. and they said what they think will lead

to there. but then we also have germany, for example, a country you know, that which is very dependent on russia, gas, and oil. and or we had the german chancellor will actually to day here talking to the press and he was very reluctant saying we already have so many sanctions in place and they're working well. and we don't need further sanctions on gas and oil . well, our, the lead us would certainly disagree with that. and finally, e leaders are looking to discuss the economy on friday. what are we to expect? yeah, it's, it's an on friday. so and the 2nd day of december, because the summit was not assembled, there was only convened because of the ukraine crisis was planned long in advance here. and the original topic was the economy. and the question how europe could become more independent from other parts of the world. and of course, the crisis and ukraine, the war and ukraine showed very clearly that for example,

when it comes to energy that you have to find different solution to be also more independent or an energy level. for example, they will discuss possible l l and she terminals in the european union's liquid natural gas. and they will also discuss the semi consume at cynical semi con structure and try to achieve that something that became very clear, june the pandemic. that said these little chips you need for mobile phones are very important. and they're not produced in the european union. but for example, in asia, and that's something your opinion leaders were to change. or in a straus reporting from the verse, i thank you very much. the united nations has been calling for better protection of ukraine's cultural sights. as russia continues its assault on the country. at the museum in the besieged city of hot cave work as a trying to save one of your cranes most valuable ought collections. harkins,

ukraine's 2nd biggest city i centre of industry and culture in places now hardly recognizable. amid the destruction, the harkey of art museums still standing. it's windows and doors were shattered. when russian forces bombed and near by target, the museums director found her office in ruins. florida, he is, was russia, is a very civilized country. you know. right now it's the culture to re high culture yoke of them. when we see this, we understand how high that culture is. good to go now is to get as much of the collection as possible into storage. and many of the artworks they want to save from the russians are in fact russian. oh, if they are doing an thing blue pearl, it's just an irony of hate that we should be saving russian artists acting little paintings by russian artists from their own nation. all day,
